No further confirmations have been released yet, but since the kit includes the arms and reflector bits s from the Psycho Gundam Mk-II, it suggests that we may also get a HGUC 1/144 Psycho Gundam Mk-II in the future.

      It has reflector bits and MK II arms, so maybe it's just patience at this point

    Whelp, the name is perfectly fitting, taking the Psycho Gundam, the Kutan Type III, and the Raphael and combining them all into one mobile suit with the snake headed legs. So, did they come up with the design or the name first XD Typhoes can also be called Typhon if that helps anyone. Pretty much big evil monster guy with two snake with heads for legs, Zeus trapped him under a mountain, and now he struggles and roars for all eternity, causing volcanic eruptions and huge waves that we call.....Typhoons!

    I'm definitely getting this model kit XD
