The Gunpla TV crew made the trek out to Shizuoka early yesterday morning. Does the Bullet Train count as a trek?
Bandai had been extremely quiet on what would be appearing at the show, and boy, were we surprised when we discovered a whole new Gundam Model Kit line there! Yes, Bandai is adding a new Plamo line to their already exhaustive catalogue–this one dubbed the RE/100 Line, which stands for Reborn One Hundred. This lineup appears to be Bandai’s way to give us the big mobile suits we have always wanted in 1/100 scale and yet keep costs down by doing away with the inner frame that is found in Master Grade kits. We will talk about this more in future episodes.
The other big surprise was the announcement of a MG Hi-Nu Gundam Ver. Ka, to be released in August. After the Nu Gundam Ver. Ka and the Sazabi Ver. Ka, it’s no surprise that the Hi-Nu gets the Ver. Ka treatment, and was it ever a beauty!
The 86cm tall 1/144-scale Neo Zeong was also on display. The kit will come with a dedicated display base with a hefty chunk of acrylic pipe to keep this monster standing tall!
More new Gundam releases presented by Bandai included a brilliantly painted High Grade Zaku 1 (Gundam Thunderbolt version), the HGUC Schuzrum Galluss, and the HGUC Zssa Unicorn version.
Unpainted Gundam kits shown were the HGUC Rozen Zulu (Episode 7 version) and the HGUC 1/144 Zeta Plus Unicorn version.
Bandai also had some non-Gundam items to show off, including Domeru’s ship from “Space Battleship Yamato 2199,” enormous even in 1/1000 scale! And a new highly posable Scopedog sporting space-maneuvering equipment was on display as well.
Hasegawa also debuted some exciting Macross items, including a fully armed 1/48 VF-1J that can be painted up as either Max or Miria’s machine. Maschinen Krieger was also well-represented, with painted MK44s present and posed to show off their opening hatch and superb cockpit detail.
Be sure to check out the video for everything we saw at the Bandai booth, and click the links below to see all the Future Gunpla releases. And be sure to watch the whole video to see the other Mecha plamo releases that were shown at the Shizuoka Hobby Show.

Hi guys is there any news about a new pg gundam I would love either a pg death scythe ew or a sinanju
Alden
they said that its a unicorn which is amazing for a pg but its not yet sure so wait for some update
tetsujin
That was just a rumor.
gundamslave
I hope that your wrong cause I would totally love a pg unicorn would have to put up another shelf though
Gundam lover ^^^
Its no rumor i saw the PG unicorn gundam
mDS64
Nice troll, no one fell for it
McFly!!
A PG RX-0 would make my year, Bandai!!! XD
kissarmy8193
A Unicorn as a PG would be pretty cool. But for me it would be a 3 way tie between Freedom, GX 9900 and the Nu Gundam. DAM! That Neo Zeong is huge. To revert back to a kid “I WANT I WANT”!. I have a feeling it will be at least the same price as the PG Strike Freedom of 25,000 Yen or more. Hopefully I’m wrong because by the time shipping is included I might have to pay import duties and tax. Then we do I put the beast?

drogoneye
Wow! I can’t wait to get the Hi-Nu Ver. Ka!!
McFly!!
Same here! I’m so glad I didn’t get the older version!
Patrick Jungewaelter
I would die(in a good way) if they did a PG GX-9900 but the unicorn gundam will look amazing maybe if they did LEDs to make the psycho frame change from pink to green.
Edward Mass
Thanks Syd and Ryan for all the updates. You guys make a great roving reporting Gunpla Team! Three must have kits RG Zgok, HI-Nu MG ver KA, and of course Nightingale. Three new Char kits in 9 months forget 7-11 this is Gunpla Heaven! August seems a long way off now.
Hope you guys had a good time at the show and thanks again for sharing all the new cool info.
Edward Mass
Syd FYI the diorama was Axis from Char’s Counter Attach with the Nu-Gundam pushing it back into space and the other suits trying to help, towards the end of the movie. Thought I would share.
Thanks again
SageVodka
Seeing the RG Z’gok makes me even more excited. And I’ll definitely be preordering that HG fenice rinascita!
Ray
Wing Gundam Rinascita is soooo awesome…
I’d really have to get my hands on that kit…
And the Neo Zeong…Wow it’s huge…
I knew it was gonna be huge but I don’t think it will be this awesome…
It almost half of you Syd (a little exaggerating is cool right?)…
And the Shinden II Ridgebacks from Ace Combat is totally cool…
Man I hope I’d live in Japan…
McFly!!
What do you guys think about the (katekyo hitman) reborn100 line? I don’t like that they won’t have inner frames but if it’s the only way to get a 1/100 nightingale (and maybe kshatriya?)…
Outamyhead
Kit would be super expensive if it had a full inner frame.
McFly!!
No doubt! It’s a worthwhile compromise I guess!
minimad
Can’t wait to see more from the RE/100 line and I’m also really looking forward to the RE/100 Gundam mkIII
scid
cant wait for me to do preorder on hlj..much kit to have!!!
Daverb
Wow! One word to summarize this episode is “massive”… Lots of excellent kits to be had! Waiting for more news on MG treatments for gundams!
Kiwi Banana
Having included stands/display base in the box is always a plus!

Barracuda
By the way is there gonna be a mega size gundam unicorn or a PG Gundam Unicorn?
WizR
MG Z’gok is only 400 yen more expensive than the RG but would definitely go for the RG !
