UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 14, 2023
Bandai Namco officially announces that both the MG 1/100 Freedom Gundam Ver. 2.0 (Real Type Color) as well as the MG 1/100 Justice Gundam (Real Type Color) will be available for a limited time in mid-October via the Premium Bandai and Gundam Metaverse EC Store as limited GunPla “Gundam NEXT Future Digital” models. The kits will be released in January 2024, with price tags of 5,500 yen and 5,830 yen respectively.

Kunio Okawara's version of Freedom Gundam (Real Type Color) features a green color scheme with matching real type decals, while the Justice Gundam features a blue color scheme with matching real type decals.

Not a fan of the colors for Freedom, but that Justice is looking pretty slick in blue
ReplyDeleteNow, THESE are the types of kits that should be P-Bandai. But with what they've been doing lately, you never know.
ReplyDeleteIf by some chance these end up being retail releases, I'm not gonna lie: I'll be more than just a little annoyed.
I would be pretty happy if the guns on the wings were like the art. I didn't really like the super pointy, multi fin, extendo cannon.
ReplyDeleteA part of me wonders why Bandai doesn't make Real Type colors for all the other main Gundams and mobile suits, like a Real Type Color Gundam Exia or God Gundam. I understand that the Freedom and Justice Gundams are getting special treatment because it's Gundam Seed's anniversary, but I'd like to see it for the other Gundams.
ReplyDeleteI change my earlier statement. The Freedom looks much better in physical form and the Justice doesn't look as good now.
