Three new releases in Bandai Hobby's latest BB Senshi Sengokuden Bushin Kourin series (BB戦士 戦国伝 武神降臨編), which were on display at this year's Shizuoka Hobby Show. Takeda Shingen (武田信玄) Gundam Uesugi Kenshin (上杉謙信) Gundam Naoe Kanetsugu (直江兼続) Gundam
Riders in the Skies (Gundam Zeta) ------ 20.10% The Moon Will Always be There (Gundam X) ------ 10.92% Escape (MS Gundam) ------ 5.87% The Final Victor (Gundam Wing) ------ 4.29% The Golden Autumn (Turn A Gundam) ------ 4.20% Warrior, Again... (Gundam Double Zeta) ------ 2.80%

With the explicit announcement that there won't be any new Gundam TV series coming in this year, we can pretty much rule out the possibility of having an animated Gundam Unicorn from that announcement, so is it about another Gunpla from Gundam Unicorn coming in?

However, the one I'm really interested in is this: Banpresto's SCM G-3 Gundam & GM set. I remember writing about the SCM line some time ago. The design of the body might not be accurate to the actual mecha, but the articulation is really unbeatable.
Still on Gundam Double O, Gundam Dot Info has an extensive review on the prize item of 1/144 Full Kit Gundam Rasiel from Dengeki Hobby: Some basic articulation via hinges not polycap. Reminds me of my old FG Gundam RX-78-2 and Zaku II XD Image from Amazon Japan.
Then again, I'm not all helping Bandai out here. ^^; The advantage mentioned above is mainly for those planning to get O Raiser after 00 Gundam. For those who are not too interested in the add-on, well, the waist design is indeed a bad idea.
