Being a Wing fan, of course I’m gonna get this as it looks quite nice too, but if the release of this MG Proto Zero means we won’t get MG TV Zero then it really sucks (just like Epyon, Tallgeese, etc).

What's the problem with it? It retains the overall design of the Wing Zero TV while adding Katoki details to it. It's no different from what they did with the MG Gundam SEED GAT-X series, which added and/or changed details so that they would look better in MG while still retaining the general design.

All the GAT series MGs did was change the proportions to "modern" sleeker standards (note that more details and colors dont count, as every MG does that since most series, OVAs/Movies exempt, simply cannot animate all those details and colors without wasting time and money), while the Epyon for example had a chest and wing redesign in particular (while keeping the core elements, like the new Proto Zero's binders) Man the more I look at the Proto Zero design Im lovin it more and more, its the perfect bridge between the Custom and the TV ver imo I wonder how its gonna hold the TBR....its bigger/heavier than the Wing TV BR, and it does not have any other way to secure it (unlike the Wing TV ver "claws" to hold it). Maybe foldable pegs and the rear of the guns to peg into slots in the forearm? |

It depends on your degree of distinguishing factor. If you look at it from the general aesthetic, then yes they’re “the same” just like how Epyon EW & Epyon TV are “the same”. Still, if you’re willing to pay attention to some details, they’re different. Here’s some comparison:

This kind of redesign has actually gone as far back as the early MG's: for example, compare the original images of the Zeta Gundam to the first MG version: You'll find that some parts have undergone drastic shape changes, most prominently the legs which reflect Katoki's later Zeta variant works rather than the more triangular shape of the actual mecha and the later 2.0. Admittedly there are MG's that stick as close to the actual design as possible, most tellingly the MG Wing Gundam, which is what I think people expected when they want an MG Wing Zero. The actual practice of changing around shapes and details for the Master Grade version though isn't especially new, and in this case I think they did well with the redesign. Based off the naming, which is "Wing Gundam Prototype Zero", I think it's supposed to be the original Wing Zero, aka the basis from which all the Gundams were made in lore. If I'm to make a prediction, I imagine this will be the machine that Quatre would complete and pilot into combat, if GoL will follow that part of the TV series.

Exactly like I said above. They deliberately won’t touch the TV version and go with EW/Katoki version instead to push the recent manga’s popularity. The fans of the TV version got side-lined that way.

Well, there are many designs that get sideline that would look good as MG. So, all this is the usual ("They should have done this"-lines). I myself is looking forward to TV version of Wing Zero, but I already know there's going to be redesign when they put that image project on. The other time I remember was Nu Gundam redesign. The model, as I look at it now, is great, but there were people complaining about how it's different with the head (lol) and Psychoframe insert.

Not if Bandai basically already make 90% of the expected kit but instead labeling it as another. Unlike MG Justice which Bandai have to build from scratch, in this case, they can easily make more profit by releasing the more popular Wing Zero TV, but noooo. They have to avoid the TV version like the plague for some reason. If this is usual to you, then let’s agree to disagree coz we’re just going in circles like this.
