I know this isn't Bandai, but a 3rd party. It does have a very Hazel-like look to it:

You can also post it in the Third Party Gundam Thread.

For anyone that actually wants that ugly gundam, it’s up for preorder at the usual spots

I threw out the name Gundam Uuuuuugly ont the Gundam show thread, but G-FuuuuuugLy works pretty good

I guess you'll love Yamashita's re-imagined Nu Gundam...

I really like Ikuto Yamashita's designs pre-Rebuild.

Eva, Yukikaze, this Nu and the Sazabi apparently, Nadia's Nautilus...

I think it was starting with the Rebuilds, you saw him and it embrace more and more of his current industrial design aesthetic/phase, which can be nice in the right context, but I haven't found it particularly enjoyable to look at so far.

Is this complete, or is there more work coming?

It's from 2013, he made a matching Sazabi:

Then I think the black in the lower legs is a bit concealing. It’s hard to tell what’s going on shape wise in the sculpt down there and would’ve probably looked better broken up with some grey or something to show the details, but as is just looks like black socks or something

I love Ikuto Yamashita, rebuild eva is absolute peak aesthetics.

Saw this on tag hobby. Another web exclusive that I really wantI think it unfortunately only has one set of hands, but I’ve always liked these designs and hopefully they’ll do more, especially the Zaku III late typeI’d definitely be extremely happy if they do this one

Looks like the D-Fundam First goes up for preorder tomorrow night on the U.S. p-Bandai store website

Could someone please tell me the difference between Bandai Chogokin Gundam and  Bandai METALBUILD Gundam!? Thanks...

That’s more of a question for the metal build thread. But from someone that doesn’t buy gundam toys, it seems the metal builds are a step up in price and ugliness, while the chocking ones seem a bit closer to the proper look but with some metal parts. I may be wrong though since I only buy the gundam model kits

Thanks I'll ask there....

Finally got me a torohachi. I wasn’t expecting it so soon. No scalper fees and free shipping since I got it on the special sale at the U.S.p- Bandai store with a few extra items.

Yamashita illustrates the development himself:
