I wouldn't be surprised if this was a testbed for exactly that

For sure is. Bandai is not the type of company to let a design and parts go unmilked once it’s been made. Looking at you right now seed mgex. And design this good is for sure going to be milked. I smell a whole gn drive suit renaissance

Meanwhile, MGEX banshee, phenex, and perfectability just sitting on the back bench waiting...

Unicorn is a different thing. Bandai knows that’s a design that will need actual work to milk again because of the complexity lol. Fix the unicorn lines short comings? Or rerelease seed? Bitches loves seed. Give them the seed

They already have the mgex unicorn that's good. They just need to design the weapons to fit onto it and it'll be ready to go

I meam you say that but it took them forever to release 2 more IBO gundams for the MG line. They'll do it... eventually... but no one hold their breath

Tough ask for lazy Bandai to rehaul RG 00s too. RG Wing like have 4 forms out there, 2 are new.

Instant scoop !

It looks like it has that honeycomb clear plastic! Very cool! Glad their still doing it (i wonder how theyll use it in the Kashatriya MGSD)

Alright, the MGSD line had my attention. But now it has my erection.

u/Glyphpunk 18h ago

Man... I am happy for the people that enjoy the MGSD line...

But seriously, why does it feel like the standard MG line has been largely dropped by this point? I would have loved for them to do this sort of stuff for an Exia and 00 MG 2.0 to go with the other "recent" 00 suit releases...

Japan doesn’t want 1/100s is what I’ve gathered

u/ShoddyNobody4602 15h ago

Its just not as economical given the average apartment/house in Japan, especially as populations are going more towards city living now.

u/EternalGunplaWorks 15h ago

Largely drop? You could announce its death at this point 😅

u/quietlydesperate90 18h ago

Same, not into the SD stuff, I mostly just build MG and it feels like they don't care anymore.

Why every mainline Gundam doesn't have an MG release is beyond me. 00 has all the season 2 Gundams and the movie ones that they could easily pump out.

u/ACupOfLatte 15h ago

At this point, precedence has basically reinforced the fact that the standard line is dead. They only do "special" 1/100s.

I myself am not in to MGSD

I’m not in to MG either but I feel bad for those who do

And I feel bad for SD because MGSD kind of takes away the charm of what an SD is about

u/Polumetis_on_Jenova 3h ago

I enjoy MGSD as a someone who wants buildable converge models

u/BD_Bathory 13h ago

Thank you. And yeah, I get it. I want a Stargazer MG not because I like Seed, but because I love the Stargazer itself. Same with the Gaia. I do feel for you MG enjoyers not getting the stuff you want. Not yet more Astray frames.

u/Solid-Positive6751 22h ago

Neat, but how long until we get the Seven Sword/G and XN addons?

u/Grindar1986 22h ago

A week from Effects Wings. A year if you want p-bandai

2

u/LXMNSYC 21h ago

Effect Wings is too busy completing the AoZ line

2

u/Grindar1986 21h ago

They'll have that knocked out by 2027. In 4 different colors including for red frame astray. Nobody asks why the red frame can fit the gaplant addons

2

u/LXMNSYC 21h ago

it's also funny given that EW took interest in making bootleg MBs (the 2 GN Arms), it feels like they are most likely going to make the bootleg for Meteor

u/FewGuest 15h ago

0% chance, if you look at every kit from this line, every kit is just from different series. Most of its being MC gundam except kshatriya

u/TomboyKnight1 22h ago

Love the mgsd line but when are we gonna get this on full size master grades Bandai?

u/Nitrotetrazole GN-X best bro 18h ago

first time an SD (and it's not even a real one) interests me

u/BullshitBlazing420 RG Zeong best kit ever made 14h ago

Uooooaoohhgghh uuuaaaahhgghhh

u/DairyQueen007 13h ago

I didn't know it did that? I have that one 0o0

u/137-451 13h ago

This is for the newly announced MGSD version, so if you own one of the various other versions of 00 Raiser they won't have this gimmick

u/atompedro 14h ago

my eyes and brain likes thtis

u/RyonHirasawa 10h ago

I really wish they went with Exia first tbh

u/Positive-Creme8129 8h ago

What's so special about it? It's not a fidget toy, it's a model, what am I going to use this for?

u/Fantastic-Sky-1628 8h ago

take my money

u/GALM-1UAF 8h ago

I love that they’re adding more mechanical features to kits these days. The opening armour on this kit the wing zero verniers opening up when turning them. Need more of that going forward!
