Still more than a month before Gundam Double O Season 2 commences, but it seems to me like the frenzy over it has already started. After the huge Gundam head being revealed on Selavii's backpack, and a new GN-X variation appears in Hobby Japan's 00V, Dengeki Japan released a new Gundam to be featured in its own sidestory of Gundam Double O: GN-XXX Gundam Rasiel in 00P.
My first impression: it's a bit too simple. Not-so nice leh~ :(
The designation code of GN-XXX depicts that it's going to be a either a super secretive Gundam, or a super powerful one (or maybe both? ^^;). Doesn't look like it fits in either category to me though ^^;
Other scans from the magazine:
A left-handed Overflag - Graham's unit! A showdown with Astraea!
Awesome Tieren diorama
An Ultraman Mebius diorama promoting its movie coming in this year "Great Decisive Battle! The Super 8 Ultra Brothers".
Watch the trailer on Youtube.

EDITED: Dengeki Hobby announced that in collaboration with the celebration of the magazine's 10 th anniversary, runners for Gundam Rasiel will be included in January 2009 issue, while the parts for GN Sefer, GN Arms's prototype will be in February issue. Both of them can combine.
Not a conversion kit like Astraea anymore, but a whole Gundam kit!
Not the first time actually, I remember Dengeki Hobby giving away runners to assemble Hazel Custom before, and that was before it received its HGUC release.
I doubt the size of it being as big as the original GN Arms, because Dengeki Hobby has to worry about packing all those runners to be roughly the dimension of their magazine.
Well, I suppose even the side stories of Gundam Double O must follow the theme of "linking and combining" from the TV anime series. And Dengeki Hobby is making many people biting their nails again for these two prize items.
Luckily I'm a fan of neither Gundam Rasiel nor GN Sefer ^^;
