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.

Ahh yes! Sorry I forgot that thread existed... it eluded me!

I’ll pass. Those are some crappy feet. I really hate this one

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

[Major Tom]

Wow, how about a new name: GFuuuuuugLy 😄

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...

 

[kajnrig]

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?

[electric indigo]

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 

[anime52k8]

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

[Big s]

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:

I always wondered what the results would be like, but another gunpla fan beat me to it 3 years ago: dipping your whole assembled gunpla in Pledge.

Sounds about what I’d have expected

That's about what I'd expect to see. Are you planning something that would require a similar process?

Nah, merely curious, but I do appreciate the guy's commitment to research.

Not sure if this goes here. But I’m genuinely shocked Bandai hasn’t come out with a miniature game yet based on Gundam.

I saw this a couple days ago and really wasn’t sure which section either. They are plastic models, but also more game pieces. I just think it’s a missed opportunity to try 1/200 kits again.

I think they’re trying to cash in on the recent surge in popularity of Warhammer.

Yeah, I kinda thought that’s what the artifact line was, but then this comes out. I still think it would be cooler if the did a super small scale of poseable kits like the 1/220 or the 1/200 kits that they had done but with newer tech to make em really cool but small enough for gaming.

I still think square should have done it with their little front missions trading kits.

Got these guy last week, time to build it!!

It’s so weird that this is one of the only major new master grade kits to come out recently. All the others have just mostly been slightly modified old kits

Not at all.  They've been around since the early '80s.

The GQX looks better in EVA-esque colors.

or no color at all:

While I still don’t like the design, these colors actually help a lot. The clown colors from before really didn’t work
