December~February Gundam Models

As I've been slacking off lately, here are the Gundam models for the last few months.

December

Gundam 00 HG #6 - Gundam Virtue
Virtue is next up on the Gundam 00 High Grade lineup - unfortunately, it cannot purge its armor and become Nadleeh. Yay fat gundam.

Gundam 00 HG #7 - Union Flag (Graham Acre)
Ace pilot Graham Acre's custom Union Flag.

Gundam 00 1/100 #2 - Gundam Dynames
The second 1/100 scale model for the series is Gundam Dynames.

Master Grade #102 - Unicorn Gundam Ver. Ka (Picture depicts "Destroy Mode")
From the light novel "Gundam UC(Unicorn)" comes this beatiful Katoki Hajime-designed Master Grade kit. Normally, it is almost completely white - a bit bland. However, its trump card, "Destroy Mode", looks utterly awesome.

Master Grade #29 Special - Sazabi (Metallic Coating)
A special re-release of the Sazabi kit from way back when, now with a metallic coating applied to it.

January

High Grade Universal Century #85 - Re-GZ
As HGUC kits continue on with Char's Counterattack, the Re-GZ is next up - the "refined Gundam Zeta". Amuro piloted one before he got the Nu Gundam.

Gundam 00 HG #8 - Tieren Taozi
Enhanced human Soma's blindingly pink-colored Tieren. Check out that color scheme... I didn't think Soma was the kind of girl who would like pink, but whatever!

Gundam 00 1/100 #3 - Gundam Kyrios
The third 1/100 scale model for the newest Gundam series is the Kyrios, complete with transformation capabilities.

Master Grade #103 - Zaku II (Black Tristars) ver. 2.0
An upgraded Zaku II model - colored black and purple in the name of the Black Tristars. This came out a while ago, but with the release of the Zaku II ver. 2.0 a while back, they decided to release this one.

February

High Grade Universal Century Set - Char's Rick Dom vs G-3 Gundam
An interesting double-set consisting of Char's personal Rick Dom and the G-3 Gundam, neither of which were in the series, but in the novels. The G-3 Gundam was actually the testbed for the Magnetic Coating that was applied to Amuro's own Gundam in the anime.

Gundam 00 HG #9 - Gundam Throne Eins
The first of the Throne Gundams is Eins(hence the name). This badass-looking Gundam reminds me a lot of Strike Noir, actually.

Gundam 00 HG #10 - Tieren Space Type
The modified Tieren for use in space combat. To differentiate, it's colored blue. :)

Gundam 00 1/100 #4 - Gundam Virtue
The fourth 1/100 kit, Gundam Virtue. Unlike the HG kit, this one CAN purge its armor to reveal Gundam Nadleeh. Quite nifty, if you ask me.

BB Senshi #307 - Kakuton Giros
The eigth in a series of SD Gundam kits themed after the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" epic. Xiahou Dun was the original model for this one.

Master Grade #34 Special - ν Gundam (Metallic Coating)
After the Sazabi was re-released with a metallic coating, the ν(Nu) Gundam follows. It's all silvery.

Master Grade #104 - Strike E + IWSP (Lucas O'Donnell)
From the latest Gundam SEED ASTRAY manga, FRAME ASTRAYS, comes this customized Strike Gundam - equipped with the Integrated Weapon Striker Pack, my favorite of the four normal ones(there's also Lightning and Gunbarrel). This looks more badass than the original Strike + IWSP, in my opinion~
