The official Premium Bandai webshop announces that it is going to be starting pre-orders for two new HGUC 1/144 Messer variant model kits, that includes the Messer F02 Type, and Messer F02 Type Commander Unit via Premium Bandai webstore this year, to celebrate the Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway movie trilogy's screening this year.
Super happy to see the F02 / G Generation inspired version getting a kit on top of the novel design inspired F01. Here's hoping they do the G Generation variation of the Xi next!
ReplyDeleteIt's almost certain at this point. Bandai loves money so mid-show suits upgrades is certain, there are also evidence on the Xi runners, which are preparded to cut off head and torso pices (same with penelope, where they can ditch flight unit parts leaving odyseus alone)
DeleteThe F-02 is literally the retail kit but with the leg cowling that could've/should've been included with said retail kit.
ReplyDeleteAt least the F-02c is a recolour...
F02 probably also ommits commander antena just to save you those 100 yen, so yeah, it's a pretty pointless release.
DeleteJust make these normal releases please. It's too much p-bandai.
ReplyDeleteNo offense but suck it up. Fans of Zeonic designs typically get the gold carpet to releases. 90% of my Gunpla purchases this year have been P-Bandai because I like GM Type/Federation designs.
DeleteThis is the new norm.
Why? There's hardly enough differences to the regular release to warrant it
