More Gundams

Two Gundam models and one GFF this time.

The two models: GP02A MLRS and HG Civilian Astray DSSD don't look so impressive to me. GP02A MLRS features new rocket launchers, a new bazooka (same one from its GFF release, designed by Katoki) and a new backpack to mount the launchers. HG Civilian Astray DSSD is perhaps the ugliest Gundam ever, just look at the legs! Apart from the helmet design, what's so good about this target-practice MS from Stargazer which inspires Bandai to give it a model release anyway?





The GFF Metal Composite Gundam Ver. Karelease however, is going to stir up quite a bit of commotion, I reckon.

This time the scale is MG-standard, with the first release being the super-famous Gundam Ver. Ka that comes with a whole array of armaments, as well as its supporting vehicle, G Armor. Bandai has announced that certain parts of the body will be made of metal, hence the name, and there will be plenty of details, just like a MG model! Am I the only Gundam fan salivating now? The one thing that is not so cool about this product is the price: 12,390 Yen from Amiami. That's equivalent to a PG model man!
