This year’s Shizuoka Hobby Show is now in full swing. As such, the likes of AmiAmi have been covering it. The big announcements are a new kit line (called Reborn One Hundred) and the MSN-04II Nightingale being the first kit in the range (pictured above). To make matters even more fabulous, we’ll also be getting a Ver Ka MG of the RX-93-v2 Hi-Nu Gundam as well as the announcement that a Beltorchika’s Children manga will be serialised in Gundam Ace. Bar that, there will also be a new 1/48 scale kit of the live action Ingram. All in all, it looks to be a pretty kickass show this time around. If you’re at all curious, there is some additional coverage here, here, here, here and here.
At first look that Nightingale looked incredibly under-detailed compared to the other dozen or so kits of it, then I realized this is a plastic conversion of the B Club original.
THIS IS AN IDEA I FULLY SUPPORT!
Some people don’t need all that circus acrobat multi-jointed BS and just want something that looks cool standing still. Considering that this kit is HUGE, 8000円 is actually really good. If it were an MG it would be twice that just to include gimmicks I’ll never use.
This is also very faithful to the original design, so I like the clean simplicity of it.
Yeah, that’s B Club for you. They’re also doing the GP04, which is cool. Its nice to see stuff that hasn’t been all Evolved and Ka-ed to death and back.
Only one new LBX shown? Is bandai done with LBX?
Danball Senki isn’t doing well in Japan.
Aw. :[
