Ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes upon the glory that is the Neo Zeong! (Spoiler'd due to huge size)
That thing is a whopping 860mm tall, and yet it's still half the price of a FW Titan!
Also, we have prototype pics of the upcoming releases!
Zeta Plus - I'll buy one.
Schutzrum Gallus - I really like this one. I have to get one.
Gundam Airmaster - no question about it, I need to own one.
Bandai, as usual, knocks these all out of the park. Hopefully the HGUC Zussa prototype will show up soon since I think that one is actually due out before any of these.

Is this real life?
Is this just a variation? Because I'm pretty sure this doesn't happen in Gundam Unicorn. It's like someone took all the best bits from every Zeon MA and glued them to the Sinanju (I wonder if it's removable). It's like the Gundam version of a DreadKnight. This is high-grade baby-carrying.
I need to start saving money now and figure out where to order one of these.

I would love to build that Neo Zeong, but I think I'll have to settle for the Sd version. Unless I leave it at the inlaw's house... I know Keiko's dad likes a lot of my big flashy MG models I've built over the years to sit on display.
Temptation rising....

Here I was thinking it's just a Zeon wannabe Dendrobium, but made enormous because they're compensating for not thinking of a MA piloted by a MS first. This thread also made me buy and assemble a Kotobukiya HMM 1/72 ZOIDS Shadow Fox the other week. I forgot how much I enjoy HMM/Mastergrade models but they take forever to build(5 hours on Monday, 4 hours last night, and another hour this morning to finish it).

It supposedly happens in Unicorn Episode 7.
And I must have either Zeta Plus, or Airmaster....or.....both......
I really want a non-plated Delta Gundam though.

You have beaten me to the punch with your post.
What a miniature, although that's perhaps the wrong word to use! If you imagine it with an excitable Japanese doing a voiceover for the advert it becomes even more impressive.

I don't think they're that rare. They were reissued a couple years back. And I'm sure they'll be reissued again in a few more years. Aoshima likes to do that.
That said, I do kick myself for not grabbing one from the Mandarake near my brother's place. They had a Mazurka, pretty sure it was the reissue. The only reason I didn't get it was because I wasn't sure I'd have room for it in my suitcase for the trip back home.

I thought for a moment you meant the Mandarake that used to be out here that we frequented. They had one too. No telling how brittle that plastic would have been after all these years... remember that Dorvack kit you bought?
I have fond memories of seeing that model in the display case of a hobby shop in the mall of all places when I was young.

I looked at the impracticality of the low placed main gun on the hull as it would be for cross country traveling and it getting caught in places and filled with dirt or rocks. Very bad to have that happen. So, I moved the main gun to the turretshort barreled Heavy Bolter in the hull. My next one I will make as the kit has it as TD with support weapons in the turret.

Then the one i found in manderake must be old, orange brittle plastic and the building plans all discolored.
They had this one at manderake. maybe i will pick it up next time
Anyway could this be used as a Imperial knight or titan proxy?

Paint? This isn't the 90s when those girly figures were all unpainted garage kits. No sir, those are pre-colored these days. Most of the time, those things are cast in the final colors.

Nice job on both. They're very nice looking tanks. I really like those smooth lines on the Techno Police tanks though. I'm really going to have to track one down someday.

Yeah, never did get the MBT-99A, I really want the thing, I am hoping that Hobby Search will get some in so I can order 2 MBT-99A and another MBT-90D as the design as is and make it a TD.

I don't recognize that manufacturer's logo. Anyone familiar with them?
I'm sure some of you have heard the announcement about Bandai's new 1/100 line?
Nightingale, followed by Gundam Mk. III and GP-04.
I've been wanting a proper Gundam Mk. III model for YEARS. Now they're finally going to give in and make one, and it turns out to be a 1/100 kit. Bah! I wanted a 1/144 one. It's interesting though that the Nightingale is using a simpler construction method similar to the 1/48 Gundam kits. Nightingale will go on sale in September and is going to be around 8,000 yen. Surprisingly cheap for something of its size.
There's also finally some pictures of the Zussa from Unicorn. And boy does it look awesome!
I'll be needing one of those.
Something else possibly of interest, a new 1/48 scale kit of the AV-98 Ingram based on the new live-action Patlabor series.
