Miscellaneous Updates Again

Updates on:
(1) HG 1/144 Tieren Taozi, HG 1/144 Rudolf Wittgenstein's Customized Gouf Ignited, and other January 2008 Gundam merchandises
(2) More upcoming Sangokuden models
(3) Musha Keroro and Tamama

HG 1/144 Tieren Taozi, HG 1/144 Rudolf Wittgenstein's Customized Gouf Ignited, and other January 2008 Gundam merchandises
You can have a look at all the Gundam merchandises in January on Bandai Hobby Site. Here's the summary:

1. MG Black Tri-star's Customized High Mobility Zaku II - 4,725 Yen
2. HGUC ReGZ - 2,940 Yen
3. HG 1/100 Kyrios - 2,730 Yen
4. HG 1/144 Tieren Taozi - 1,575 Yen
5. HG 1/144 Rudolf Wittgenstein's Customized Gouf Ignited - 1,575 Yen

Here's the box art for Tieren Taozi. I'm sure if you watched Episode 10 of Gundam Double O (the episode where Gundam Nadleeh is revealed), you'll know which scene the box art is based upon :)


On the other hand, HG Rudolf Wittgenstein's Customized Gouf Ignited, the first of the four SEED Frame Astray models to be released seems quite cool - in which the level of coolsome-ness highly depends on your skills of airbrushing XD


A golden Gouf Ignited! Nice ^^

More upcoming Sangokuden models
As you know, the next Sangokuden model to be released is Kakouton Giros in February. But more are coming soon: grunt units from the story will also be released, which include GM in three different colors, and one type of Zaku. At the moment it's not sure the format of release - whether they will be bundled as a single box, or as separate releases. Also, and upcoming character, Jiang Wei (姜维)'s model is currently under development as well.


Also, another two character which may be released include Zhou Yu (周瑜) and Lu Xun (陆逊) from Sun Quan (孙权)'s army may be released as models as well.


Zhou Yu is that Hyaku Shiki in white armor standing on the right of Sun Quan; while Lu Xun is the red Zeta Plus right in the middle of the photo.

Musha Keroro and Tamama
And finally, a bit of update on Musha Keroro as well ^^


The straight assembled version of Musha Keroro - plenty of stickers is needed for the different parts, but how much can you expect from a 600 Yen kit anyway ^^
His loyal partner, Tamama is next ^^

Musha Keroro is scheduled to be released next February.
