If you like your Zakus with a splash (or more) of blue, this might be hard on the ol' wallet.

• RG Zaku II (Shin Matsunaga)
• RG Zaku II (Uma Lightning)
• RG Zaku II (Robert Gilliam)
• MG Advanced GN-X
• MG Advanced GN-X (Deborah)
• MG GN-X III (A-Laws)
• MG GM Cannon (North American)
• MG Hyaku Shiki Kai
• HGBF Turn A Syn

Three Zakus, three GN-Xs, three others. Perfectly balanced.

Not really a whole lot that grabbed my attention, aside from Bandai continuing on the self-pwn track with metaverse. Just a shitton of stuff for sale at mostly ridiculous prices.

• 26:02 Which Upcoming Gunpla Are You the Most Excited For? [Poll Results]

So... I went the entire game without trying to shoot Zonai parts from a bow and arrow. So when I finally let myself look stuff up, I saw all sorts of crazy crap.

Today, I saw someone building a spring staircase to ascend. 🤯

So episode 1 was introducing the characters, with a disjointed cliffhanger post-credits. Episode 2 started off with a flashback, then "I'll tell you everything." And episode 3 is plot armor helps prove that gunpla is ~~freedom~~ friendship. That's it. The rest is fanservice cameos.

What a nothingburger. Even going in with low expectations didn't help. Feels like a waste of good designs.

So... Bandai included CAD files for unreleased gunpla in the early access version of their metaverse software. Someone has already printed the MG for the new Freedom kit. And even though it was patched out, the installer has now been pulled completely from Bandai's site.

Neat.

This is a 15 minute evisceration. My jaw dropped at the system requirements and my forehead is bruised from the facepalming. The entire thing reeks of a C-suite stuffed suit being Very Smart and jumping on trends that either never happened or flopped two years after the fact.

Also, the "shopping" just opens the P-Bandai site in a browser window. Linked in my previous post. 🤦‍♂️

Apparently these went live at 11pm ET last night, but you need to filter by Campaign > Gundam Next Future.

• EG Grandpa Eggshell edition
• EG Lau (Gundam Base limited blue version)
• Zakupla-Kun
• HG Aerial (Recirculation color)
• MG Freedom (Real Type)
• MG Justice (Real Type ver "bright blue is totally realistic")

Eggshell Grandpa has been around for a while. Lau is definitely new. I believe the rest are as well.

Edit: these are the exclusives from the "Metaverse" trial. The "shopping" section of the "metaverse" just opens this P-Bandai page.

If you want to hear Karakrot197 dunk on the concept for 15 minutes.

Decent sized drop this week. The RG XN Raiser and HG Witch From Mercury option parts are new, everything else I believe is a reprint.

Does anyone know if PB did an effect parts set for the standard RG Nu? Or was it only included in the special edition of the regular release? This is the second or third time they've put the Hi Nu set up for order.
