Price: 2,160 yen
First appearing in the game Mobile Suit Gundam CROSS DIMENSION 0079, Zeon's prototype mobile suit Efreet finally receives an HGUC release! The kit features newly molded parts to recreate its distinctive head, shoulder armor, waist armor, and backpack, along with its signature spike armor in color-separated molding.
The dedicated shotgun is also newly molded and can be displayed in two configurations by swapping its stock. It can be held with both hands or mounted on the waist using a newly designed joint. The kit also includes two Heat Saber blades, allowing builders to recreate both the drawn and sheathed configurations, as well as Efreet's distinctive dual-wielding appearance from the game.
With articulation based on the latest HG format, this long-awaited Zeon prototype is ready to join your HGUC collection.

Of course the base grunt is the P-Bandai.
ReplyDeleteSo they make the base Efreet P- Bandai and its variation the Schneid a normal release? I won't question Bandai's logic.
ReplyDeleteof course they did to the regular (but what about schineds efreet?)
ReplyDeleteIs this just the other p-bandai Efreet w/o the swords? nice shotgun tho
ReplyDeleteWHY IS ONLY THE SILLY SCHNEID A REGULAR RELEASE?!
ReplyDeleteIs the poor Efreet cursed? Does someone at Bandai hate it for some reason?
Meh. Not interested. Still waiting for my Nacht to arrive next month.
ReplyDeleteThe Federation should take notes and also give their mobile suits katanas.
ReplyDeleteI just.
ReplyDeleteI fully expected this but it still feels cruel.
OH COME ON! Screw you too Bandai.
ReplyDeleteThat shot gun though...... makes me want to get it.
ReplyDeleteAll but one Efreet, the Gouf Flight, Woundwort, Pixie & Regelgu - P-Bandai.
ReplyDeleteFour of the exact same mold released RIGHT AFTER EACH OTHER - Retail
BANDAI LOGIC!
There has been Eight total times where an HGUC remold was released directly after it's base kit:
The Normal & Advanced Hazel, Pink/Haman Gaza-Cs, OG Ground Gundam & BD1, Green/Blue Geara Dogas, White/Blue F91s & the Revive Mk2s. (Unicorn/Banshee U/D modes were released consecutivley but they're different molds)
But notice how they're released in pairs; 1 kit then 1 remold.
Then the GM Ground came out and i was happy that it got a modern kit but then Bandai released FOUR FETHING REMOLDS OF IT IN A FETHING ROW!!! (After taking a break with the Revve-Zeta, Barzam, Tristan & Schneid)
At least they spaced out the Blue Destinys last time they were released, albeit starting with BD2 for some reason, by releasing the Acguy, Ground Gundam & Zock.
