Bandai release in 1st Quarter 2006

A whole galore of new gunpla kits releasing in 1st quarter of 2006.

HG Seed Destiny Akatsuki Oowashi

Immediately after the release of the Akatsuki (Shiranue backpack) in late January,
Bandai decides to release Akatsuki (Oowashi backpack).
Marked at an estimated release price of 2,400Yen (same as that of Shiranue's), it sures makes fans wanna grab both pieces.

HGUC Gryps War Set & Bad Eggs

The Gryps war set features another 3 kits-in-1 (recently was the Triple Dom set) of the Gryps Conflict. However, it is the Zeta gundam series featuring the Gundam Team: Zeta Gundam, Hyaku Shiki and Mk.II Gundam. The pilots are of the original Zeta Gundam, this set is actually based on the Zeta Gundam and not ZZ. Estimated retail 4,200Yen.

Other bad eggs that are released as well (from the Zeta Gundam series) include:

1. MSA-005 Methuss
Actually not a bad egg but a GOOD EGG! The Methuss is actually developed by Anaheim Electronics for AEUG, piloted by Fa. The transformable system (mecha-mobile armour) of this mecha is actually the precursor to that of the Zeta Gundam.

MG MK.II Titans Ver.2
MK.II and MK.II Titans have already been out in the MG range for some time. Recently, an ugraded version 2 of the Mk.II was released and gained plenty of popularity and hype. Following that, Zeta Gundam released version 2 as well. Now, Bandai decides to inject colors into the MK.II version 2's production plastic and release a Titans Version of the same Mk.II ver2.
Estimated retail 3,500Yen.

HG Seed Destiny Murasame (Ordinary Use)
Following the recent release of the Murasame (Andorew Waldfeld Custom), the normal mass-production Orb unit is going to be released. The difference is the color scheme. Some people prefer to the ordinary use color scheme, while I prefer to have both! Estimated retail price 1,500Yen.
