I'm sure you were all very surprised to see this MS kit! "GUNDAM EVOLVE../9" is a story about the battle between the three Z Gundams, codenamed White, Gray, and Red, and the MS is so cool! We had been receiving requests to make it into a 3D model, and it was on the product planning list, but it was difficult to decide on a product due to the many changes in shape from the original Z Gundam and the difficulty of transforming it. We have a lot of Gunpla made on a daily basis, so we decided to commercialize this MS with PREMIUM BANDAI as item to enjoy even more variations of MS! It was more than a year ago. From there, it was a difficult task for the development staff... Since it is an MS with a limited setting, we started by obtaining modeling data from the video, but first we checked the shape of the main body and the shape of the new weapon → The beam cannon is huge! This is about 210mm in size in MG 1/100. We had to consider the grip shape and the number of parts (weight) so that it could be held properly. Also, the new shield-integrated weapon, the Mega Gatling, is designed to be cool when attached to the arm, but also balanced so that it doesn't interfere with the large beam cannon when held. When making a video MS into a 3D model with Gunpla, it is always necessary to adjust the balance of the connection position so that the impression of the pose in the video and the kit does not differ. Furthermore, although there are many differences in the shape from the original Zeta, it has to be transformed. The large tail stabilizer part extending from the back can of course be transformed into WR form without replacement! With these new armaments, the impression of the Waverider form in particular is quite different from that of the Z, so please make it and enjoy displaying it! Also, as you can see from the photos, this unit has a lot of unique surface details on the exterior. Circles, triangles, lines. Of course, these are expressed with molds, not stickers! You can achieve the details shown in the photo without any scraping or processing, but I of course recommend shading. It really stands out, so even those of you who prefer no painting should give it a try. I actually wanted to present a molded trial product, but I apologize for presenting a prototype made using photopolymerization... Many parts were newly made, so it took longer than expected, but you can look forward to the painstaking work that went into the finished product.

The long-awaited new PG is ready for the first time in four years! This time, the PG Unicorn Gundam opens even further?! Did you know that the third form, the Unchained form, can be recreated?! If you add the separately sold LED unit, you can recreate the glowing image of the Psycoframe in a dashing way. Hobby Site (http://bandai-hobby.net/site/gunpla_pg.html) will reveal the whole picture worldwide on November 21st! So, if you haven't seen it yet, please take a look at it from end to end! Now, if they are going to release the Unicorn Gundam in Perfect Grade, of course it will need to be equipped with full armor, so I think most people expected it to be made into a kit with FA equipment, but this "FA Expansion Unit", all the molded parts are ready, and the package size that has been decided is the same as that of the MG Sazabi Ver.Ka. We expected it to be large, but when we packed it in, the box dimensions were a size larger than expected. If you assemble and display the various weapons, it will be an overwhelming volume, as everyone expected. We think you will enjoy the power of "This is the final battle!" As an aside, at the EXPO exhibit, the PR staff told me, "We've secured enough space for the exhibit! Don't worry! Please make sure to bring the freshly made molded parts (which will be released just before the EXPO) assembled!", so I prepared them, but when I lined them up at the site, it was too tight, and I had an incident where I was like, "What?!" Back to the main topic, let's talk about the product. The options I chose were markings that have a different finish from the ones included with the main product, and wrists with fixed fingers for weapons such as rifles. The markings are different from those included in the main product "PG Unicorn Gundam", and I wanted to enjoy choosing a different look, so I chose a design produced by Hajime Katoki, who is probably the one that customers who buy PG will have the strongest impression of when they think of Gunpla Unicorn Gundam. And I decided to include not only the FA parts, but also the MS main body. Katoki's marking design, which combines a mechanical feel with precision, will result in a very nice finish. The specifications are water transfer decals, which are highly rated by users who build plastic models, so I think that even fine alignment will work perfectly. Create the "perfect" Full Armor Unicorn.

The RG series is the perfect series for adding effects, with its reasonable size and appealing presentation. In addition to the main kit that is enjoyed by the most common people, the effects make it possible to enjoy the individuality of the MS even more. I was in charge of planning the "Wings of Light" and "Wings of the Sky" along with the main MS, but the difficulty with effects and expansion products is finding the right balance between whether or not to include them with the main MS. Now, as for the "Extension Effect Unit "Seraphim Feather", the type of effect was decided immediately because "WING GUNDAM ZERO EW" is known for its feathers fluttering down! However, the "shape of the wings" and "how to flutter them down" were a different challenge from making the MS itself. First of all, the "shape of the wings". The shape of the wings, the loosening of the tips, the undulations that don't feel monotonous, the size, etc., required multiple design and prototype verification. Isn't it too realistic? Isn't the spacing of the feather-like mold too large? Is it too narrow? Isn't it too pretty? Etc. It's all about feeling, so I think the finished product is the best shape for me! I hope everyone is satisfied with it, but... By the way, I chose a milky white molding color because I wanted to create the image of soft feathers, in line with the movie. I think the wings attached to the MS body are stronger, and the fluttering wings are more fantastical, what do you think? ? Next, "how to scatter them". For the base, I first decided to use Action Base 3, which can express the world view of the image with the mount illustration, and the connection position of the arm can be adjusted symmetrically and forward and backward. I also thought that it would be difficult to create the impression of space or sky with Action Base 1 and 2, which have a mechanical surface mold. You can choose from two mount illustrations: "Space with fluttering feathers" and "General-purpose sky"! In addition, I paid a lot of attention to the shape of the arm that fixes the position with the image of scattered feathers. The sense of distance from the main MS changes depending on how the curved parts bend, so this was probably the most difficult part... The product photos were also taken from different angles on the left and right, so as you can see, it looks good not only when viewed from one position straight ahead, but also from a number of different angles! The connection between the wings and the arms is also a flexible joint structure, so I'm sure you can display it in a cool way!! Please enjoy displaying it in your own way.

This item reproduces the spiked shoulder armor, gauntlets, and special heat hawk with new moldings, but as a product using special engraving stickers following Dozle Zabi's Zaku II and Makube's Gouf, we would like you to pay attention to the engraving! In the design drawing, a gorgeous pattern like arabesque can be seen on the band, but since it would not be interesting with just normal printing, it is reproduced by "layering", which is rare for sticker expression. Two types of stickers with different textures are used, and a special engraving sticker is attached on top of a plain band-shaped sticker to reproduce the gorgeous pattern that is 'unique' to this. As many people may know, the special engraving sticker is a special sticker that uses shiny foil, has almost no margins, has an embossed raised feel, and creates shadows depending on the angle from which it is viewed. Since it is "layered", we paid great attention to the balance of the color contrast of the two stickers. It was difficult to make the pattern stand out clearly from every angle, but also to make sure the colors of the two stickers weren't too different. Another point I paid special attention to was recreating the color scheme. It's an MG, so I won't compromise! Furthermore, I'm sure all MS fans around here, including myself, will agree that when you think of Dozle, you think of the "Heat Hawk!", right?! Whether it's the Dozle Zaku or the Garma Zaku, we've always made a new dedicated Heat Hawk. Of course, we've got it covered this time too! I'm going off on a tangent here, but my boss, who has the utmost love for Gunpla, answered "Dom" when I asked him, "What is your pick for the best Master Grade?" and it's the main kit that everyone loves, isn't it?! Whether you line it up next to Shin Matsunaga's 06R or next to a Garma Zaku, this series will continue to aim to provide a lineup that will make MSV fans say, "Another cool thing..."! Applications for Dozle's Rick Dom are scheduled to begin in early December. Look forward to it!
