MG Zaku II Ver.2.0 ?!

A lot of images of upcoming Gundam merchandises this time, six that are being mentioned earlier on, and another 12 new ones, including those which will be featured in April.

The most significant announcement for me is MG Zaku II Ver. 2.0 to be out in April. Check out all the poses possible with the new design. Although the price will be much higher than the first release more than ten years ago, what Ver. 2.0 can offer looks really promising. I suppose Bandai will throw in all sorts of gimmicks for Zaku II as well, like a launch platform, a whole array of weapon, etc.

For fans of HCM-Pro, I'm not sure if you'll be angry with Bandai for re-releasing a few of the earliest models like RX-78-2, Guntank, Zaku II and Rick-Dom in their so-called "Repainted" version, even though the only new stuff I notice are those clear stickers and a new packaging. Freedom Gundam will get its long-awaited HCM-Pro treatment in April as well.
