MG Shin Matsunaga's Customized High Mobility Type Zaku II - November release, 4,725 Yen (inclusive of tax)
No more 'for exhibit only' from the recent Chara Hobby Show, but judging from the weapon list, it seems like it's the Black Tri-star version painted in white, with some variations customized for the White Wolf of course.

BB Senshi 00 Gundam - Late October release, 630 Yen (inclusive of tax).
The two GN Blade/Rifle can combine! And so is the Blade Shield, with a huge hole in the middle that it ^^;

Ahead variations we're going to see in the upcoming anime. Since I don't like the design of Ahead in the first place, these two variations don't appeal to me either. Just my preference of course. They might turn out to be the elite enemy MSs in the anime.

Gundam 00V MSV design this month: GN-004/te-A02 Nadleeh Akwos. Nadleeh with a Gundam head with the V-Fin capable of transforming into a blade. ^^
Very cool indeed, but I hope they don't overuse the idea of huge Gundam head and face here and there too much.
