Released in April is a 1/144 High Grade model kit of the Nemo variant from Gundam Unicorn. The Nemo appeared in Zeta Gundam anime and is a derivative of the venerable GM of the original Mobile Suit Gundam Anime series. The Nemo is a mass produced mobile suit of the Earth Federation Forces and thereby forms the bulk of their mobile suit army. Check out the Nemo (Unicorn version) in action at the ongoing Gundam UC OVA currently being shown at Youtube (Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3, Episode 4).

Released this month by Bandai is the Shaldoll Custom. The Shaldoll Custom is another 1/144 High Grade model kit for their Gundam AGE line of merchandise. This mobile suit is part of the mass produced cadre of mobile suits seen in the anime series. Like most mobile suits in the Gundam anime, it comes equipped with a beam saber, shield and the unique Dods rifle that can be seen in the Gundam AGE anime series.

Seen in Gundam UC episode 4 was the aquatic mobile suit, the MSM-04G Juaggu. It comes equipped with beam guns and a triple rocket missile launcher. This particular High Grade kit was released by Bandai last month. I usually don’t want to state the obvious, but what the heck. The freaking thing looks like an elephant *snicker*

Got excited to see this in the major Japanese online hobby sites. A posting that the Soul of Chogokin GX-04S Grendizer “King of Space Set” will be re-released by Bandai in July. This was first released by Bandai in 2002. I’ve always been a UFO Robot Grendizer fan, having watched it as part of the Force Five series released in the United States by Jim Terry Productions.
