That's actually pretty believable I'd say. Unicorn is very hot stuff right now, as evidenced by sales of the MG FA Unicorn and Delta+. Also UC fans are probably generally older with more disposable income, so cashing into that sounds like a no brainer.

There's a good chance that MG Buster will be next, since it's closer in mechanical design to Duel (and gunpla-wise to Strike) than Blitz. We haven't seen the runners yet, but I'm guessing some modifications to the basic Duel plates then adding new ones containing the gun and rifle.

If I had to guess I'd say it would probably be Buster next then Blitz then Aegis following last.
Pretty sure they will want to build up as much anticipation for the Aegis as possible.

Question, anyone think MG Saviour is on the table?
I'd quite like to see that.

hobby search state MG Banshee clear psycho frame have UV cut

- ` -- already [ black / unicorn ` バンシィ ] is an appearance at MG!
- It is full reappearance about the modification mechanism unique to a unicorn!
- ` which appeared [ the ] by the last scene of episode4 at last -- black unicorn ` バンシィ -- already -- MG-izing! the transformation in the デストロイ mode from unicorn mode -- full reappearance.
Moreover, the golden Phycho frame is reproduced with the special material which carries out UV reaction.
- The Phycho frame is UV luminescence with a black light! A special material is used for the Phycho frame part.
UV luminescence will be carried out if it illuminates with a black light.
- Left armed Armagh VN carries a deployment gimmick.
A beam ton fur is also reproducible!
- Right armed Armagh BS carries a beam discharge hole movable gimmick besides deployment.
- RX-0 Unicorn GUNDAM of No. 2 バンシィ -- No. 2 of unicorn GUNDAM.
The figure from unicorn mode to デストロイ mode is changed like No. 1.
` バンシィ ` is a common name.

- Accessories : armed Armagh BS, armed Armagh VN, and beam saber x4 (beam x2), the joint only for an action base, a figure (マリーダ), a cockpit figure (マリーダ), an angle (movable type), an angle (D mode, U mode)

Releases follow a certain pattern, though I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate all the time. Observe the releases for all Robot Damashii Seed line. Duel will be released first, followed by Buster. For RD Age line, they released it the same way the HG were released. That's why I strongly believe in what Bonta Kun have said. Duel->Buster->Blitz->Aegis. Though I'm hoping that Aegis will be released this year as well and not like Heavyarms EW which were left alone (I sincerely hope it's not) this year.

Still hoping for more MG 00 series love...
But I'm also excited to see what RG kits we get. I mean imagine if we get RG kits from the 00 series. =)

But knowing Bandai, I'm sure we're gonna get more MG Seed kits using the streamlined GAT frame w/ slight mods to the inner frame and of course different armor pieces.

I would get the Seed/Seed Destiny kits but:

a. not even pegs on the hands
b. little details not as parts and stickers (like Freedom and Strike Freedom's beam being a blue sticker stripe)

this is for nike

Now that is what we've been stressing this whole time, just make it yourself.

Not sure why I even bother but here goes:
- The Strike Freedom, Infinite Justice, Impulse and Destiny have pegged hands.
- The Strike and Freedom do not, however their weapons are light and hold weapons fine. They are the last incarnation of non-pegged hands so they are very nice.
- Even if you don't paint you can easily make that strike with gundam marker and some patience.
- It's a model kit, not a toy. I used to just do OoB building with touchups at first and even those looked good.

Well...i suggest you buy MG Strike E IWSP. Eventhough his articulated hands does'nt have pegs on them, Bandai do give some extra hands to hold all of it accessories. Only the big wings IWSP pack & some place on the gatling shield requires the use of given stickers for extra details,but someone like you can easily paint it to perfection.

Couldn't agree more with this All the MG's from SEED Destiny are great kits. And as far as I can tell, all look great out of the box and only need panellining and touchups to look great. And if nike is bothered by the stickers on both Freedom's rifles: Grab a blue Gundam Marker and just paint it. It's as easy as that.

A green grunt Geara Zulu would be just too good

+1 Major argumentation there. Let's hope this time they'll go the easier route

MG Savior would be actually darn awesome. Although
I was not a fan of original Justice, the MG version of Infinite and the sheer design of Savior make me want to buy them. I don't know about Aegis though. Something always seemed off to me in this mecha. I can actually say that I liked it least from the five.

If they want to make quick money, they should not wait too long and go all out with their blu ray release. SEED is one of their flagship series after all and they built enough anticipation for the ol' fans

so,if i understand well,with a uv lamp we can make thiswhitnormal MG Banshee and,perhaps, this with the limited one?

what about Unicorns?
i remember,but i don't find now,a Full Armor Unicorn with frame "fluorescent",old red psycoframe Unicorn?

it would be fun to put fluorescent unicorns side by side..

Wow. Now that's something pretty close to what I'd want to an official Bandai release.

ALL versions of the MG unicorn have fluorescent psychoframe pieces. that includes the unicorn ver.ka (both the normal and titanium finish version), OVA and OVA + cage, full armor, banshee and banshe [final battle] version.

Wait a second.... ever since Gundam.tk's vid, I always thought that the HGUC Unicorn didn't glow under blacklight. How on earth did that modeller do that?

fluorescent paint?^^ that would be my guess!
you are right though. as far as i remember the HGUC unicorn does not glow under UV light.

[Rising Dragon]

The initial linking of said glowing Unicorns outright stated they use florescent paint.
