The kit features a conversion gimmick between Gundam Virtue and Gundam Nadleeh, in which, Gundam Nadleeh unit can be encased with Gundam Virtue's armor pieces just like in the anime!
The kit is completed with its weapons and equipment that includes; two GN Cannons, a GN Bazooka, one GN Shield, two Beam Sabers, one Beam Rifle, and GN Drive!
The kit's prototype is already showcasing amazing detailing with matching aesthetics and design to its lineup.Â

Yes, what's inside it is the important thing?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the armor will be purge-able.
DeleteWHAT? WHAT? Okay, this makes sense. Still salty about cancelled Age 3 and Age FX.
ReplyDeleteSame im beening waiting for that for s long.
DeleteIt's been 5 months since we saw the prototype. If next month get no update, it's gonna be MG Age 3 all over again
DeleteTheres no way theyre going to waste the real estate the inside of that bulk of an armor has. the legs seems to be two pieces front and back so im hoping theres going to be a Nadleeh in there
ReplyDeleteYou can see the Nadleeh (albeit from a poor angle) in the second image of this post.
DeleteConsidering the interior frame is the calling card of the MG lineup, and also considering how the 1/100 NG kit was done, there is literally no chance this thing doesn't contain a MG Nadleeh under all that bulk.
ReplyDeleteWatch them release the season 2 suits as p-bandai.
ReplyDeleteWhy? That would make no sense.
DeleteAh, there's ma boi.
ReplyDeleteThe Big Boi of the Celestial beings has arrived. The Nadleeh using the two shoulder cannons was iconic.
ReplyDeleteIts confirmed! Nadleeh is inside.
ReplyDeleteWas there really any doubt? I mean seriously, what could possibly make people think otherwise?
DeleteMaybe they'll release Nadleeh as separate Master grade...hope not
ReplyDeleteThere's nadleeh behind the virtue on the second picture, Looks like they will be in one model kit.
Delete*sharp inhale*
ReplyDeleteThere she is...
From the looks of it, there’s multiple pegs/slots on nadleeh’s body. This could be for all that bulky virtue armor
ReplyDeleteLike on the MG duel assautlt shroud ?
DeleteI don't know why people assume MG Virtue won't have Nadleeh inside. Bandai already did it with NG 1/100, and that's before Bandai achieve kit engineering like now. Seriously you all underestimate what Bandai can do with gunpla, especially master grade.
ReplyDeleteIts not a question if its possible on a engineering level, its a question whether or not Bandai will try and screw with its customers for extra cash.
DeleteAnd for the reasons already stated, that was highly unlikely. And sure enough, we now know Nadleeh is underneath the armor. It might seem like Bandai likes to skimp on some of the features for extra cash, but this isn't a High Grade. With the Nadleeh being included in the old NG 1/100 kit, assuming the latest MG kit won't have Nadleeh included makes no sense.
DeleteIf you look really close, you can just barely make out the Nadleehs shoulder armor underneath the Virtue armor.
ReplyDeleteI was not expecting the Nadleeh's beam rifle and shield. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to this!
ReplyDeleteIt comes with a cross-dressing Tiere even though he didn't do that until season 2...
ReplyDeleteno exia on the box art? :(
ReplyDeleteAwww man does this mean no Exia 2.0?
