I want to get the Heine Westenfluss Destiny Gundam the orange looks good on that design. Heine Westenfluss and Miguel Aiman from Gundam Seed in Japanese are both voiced by Takanori Nishikawa a.k.a. T.M. Revolution and orange is his personal Mobile Suit color. The orange Destiny Gundam is featured on the cover of his X42S Revolution album which has all of his music used in Gundam Seed and Seed Destiny including an original song Imaginary Ark.

Didn’t even know Bandai did Digimon model kits. Bet they won’t do Tamers any time soon. Crimson Mode Gallantmon / Dukemon would be just as striking as either of these chaps. Feels like Tamers isn’t fondly remembered in Japan.

cool fig
count me in

I wonder if the Omnimon / Omegamon means there’ll be a Metalgarurumon.

Need more sleep. Just kidding, need more Gunpla.

the mewtwo looks great but i feel that the color will leave serious nub marks, and the hi res god gundam is in steroids which is awesome ! 🙂
Anna
The Pokemon kits are usually made to pop off the runners without nippers, so nub marks usually aren’t an issue. I’ll be building the kit for a text post pretty soon, and will be sure to keep an eye out for nub marks!

Real interested in that Destiny Gundam and the Alex.

I like the looks of the pokemon.

That Penelope looks completely bonkers, also an infinity mazinkeiser! I’m in
Zeroconvoy
Omnimon and Omegamon are the same character, but man I would love to get a model, it takes me back.

Wargreymon looks so good, probably one of the best looking figures of him I’ve seen!

That pearl gloss Mewtwo pokemon looks insane. Penelope is going to be a beast of a kits, MG size in HGUC. What are the next pokemon plamo releases? Hoping for more legendary pokemons.
Ju-Ju
Those 30 minute mission kits could be quite a good source for gunpla kitbash.
SciBott
A new 1:100 Shining Finger!
FreakGeSt
OMG FINALLY (also, Valsione reads Valsio-ne, like バルシオネ and is a mecha from Super Robot Wars)
G-Raizer
hoop they come out with a MG Destiny Gundam ver.ka 2.0 version soon
Andrés
That Wargreymon looks incredibly awesome. Digimon really should get more love from toy companies.

I’ll be picking up the new Digimon kits for sure. I wonder what the intent is behind using the English dubbed name “Omnimon” for promotional material instead of the original “Omegamon” from the Japanese dub.

I almost bought the old Omegamon kit years ago but every place that sold it at the time didn’t have it in stock. I definitely have to check out those upcoming new Digimon kits though.
Bors
Now, just imagine… a MG Penelope Ver.K!
Brian ver. Kanada
Those Digimon look interesting. Hope you will build one in the future. Also it would be interesting what the new Miku would be as a Figure-rise labo if it ever gets done.
Ole Hunter
Figure-rise line of Digimons. Yay I’m really excited about it.
D-arts Digimon figures were become extremely expensive and was limited hard to acquire.
Now we can get hands on some affordable Digimon self making figures.

New Mazinkaiser seems to be pretty neat.
JumpNShootMan
The Wargreymon kit looks amazing, can’t wait for its release.
chriselmoose
Peefect! I need more orange in my life!!!
Vargen
the wargreymon looks great. i already build the omnimon and all that changed are the pegs on its sidescirts for an omnious “future release” tbh im hoping i dont have to rebuy that kit 😀
Ramrod
The Destiny Gundam (Heine Use) has a really interesting looking box.
Duo Waltfeld
Just to confirm, Omegamon is literally the Japanese name for Omnimon, so no, they are not different characters X’D
Hoping for a MetalGarurumon, at some point, he’d look AWESOME in that style!
FYI, the Valsione is an original mecha from the Super Robot Wars video game series, which looks like a giant woman clad in armour. The commenter was comparing it to the Ariel C-Type (who also follows that description), although could have maybe included a little more detail.
RNG gods, I could really do with that 2000JPY about now… ^^;;;

Hope Mewto is superior than old Pokémon kits, they were nice, but still sticker hell.

Another awesome review of Pokemon. Thanks.
