That Hamma Hamma looks like it's going to be a gorgeous kit.

I'm not a huge fan of 1/144 scale, but I may need to get that RG Unicorn........

But before that, I need to build Barbatos Lupus Rex, Vidar, and Bael. x__x

Zeta already has a Ver. 2.0 that after over ten years is still damn Impressive. The old MG ZZ was seriously outdated. Honestly though, the "Ver. Ka" label doesn't really mean much nowadays.

Ehhh I dunno about the zeta 2.0 being impressive, it can't stand on its own because of the weird uneven feet and is really floppy due to the transformation gimmick, also has a bunch of hole all over.

Has far as the new kit, the HR zero is cool, but definitely won't be worth 200+$.

The RG unicorn will probably barely hold together if the RG sinanju is any indication, especially if they try to push for the destroy mode transformation.

The hamma hamma is cool, probably will get it, wish they'd make more RE/100, especially since MG release have slowed to a crawl.

ZZ ver ka, love ver ka version but I find the ZZ boring so most likely will pass on it, maybe if they made a FAZZ (not p-bandai though).

I'm still waiting for Bandai to release a MG version of the Jagd Doga from Char's Counterattack.

The Hamma Hamma Gunpla looks pretty fierce despite its dull pale green color. Its red shield , however, is a beautiful sight. Smile

Because ZZ just hit 30th year anniversary. Zeta already got MG 2.0, PG, RG and recently Gunpla Evolution Project HG.

I really hope we get more MG kits. It's bad enough they've slowed down the pace but we're either getting too many damn rereleases of older kits or unimportant mass-produced MS. 3 damn RX-78-2 releases, THREE!!! TV Wing Gundams and AGE-FX are long overdue.

Who needs a superfluous Zaku as an MG? If we're supposed to have multiple Zaku for dioramas, they should release them as RE/100 kits. They'd not onl be cheaper, they'd also physically better represent how inferior they are next to MG Gundams.

You know you are a fan of this franchise when, collectively using all the manga/anime series, you know the total number of mecha that have carried "Gundam" in its name. That is a lot.
