Head height: 18.3m

Merchandising and other goodies
Gunpla Expo Tokyo will be held August 11 through 16.

In September, 28 places countrywide will have an advance screening of episode 1 of Gundam 00.

Gundam 00 merchandise will show up in Gundam War cards (Double O Double Get Campaign starting in August), HGCORE figures (September), HGIF character figures and SD Gundam Full Color Custom 13 (October), and G Flex from the Candy Division (October).

Gundam 00 will also invade major product lines as well, including MSiA (Gundam Exia, price & date not shown), the apparently new 00 Region line (Exia, price & date also not shown), and HCM-Pro with the Gundam Exia (September, 2,300 yen) and Gundam Dynames (October, 2,300 yen).

Out of the four, it seems like exia will be my favorite.

nice! i like dynames' rifle control concept!!!

kyrios and dynames' the pilot names is somewhat odd though...

[蠍座 shinn]

[no3Ljm]

those first images look somewhat too big for hcmpro (based from the look of the display case) ... so i'd assume it could be a 1/100 kit. also take note of the articulated fingers.

and im really surprised - looks like they're ready to churn out the 00 toyline!!!

00 region, MSiA and gashapons!

brace yourselves (and your wallets) for this one, everyone!!!

If that looks like articulated fingers... Would it be an MG then? Wow!!!

(counting money) 1, 2, 3...

(thinking, planning)lunch, nah, drinks, nah... (j/k hehehehe!!!)

[PilapZ]

correct me if im wrong guys......

it says that the 4 pilots are dudes.....right?

i thought the one piloting the virtue was a chick?

[no3Ljm]

yup, they're all dudes. no chicks this time.

oh, i forgot, maybe in the middle of the series there will be a chick piloting a big enemy MS. works always like a charm for Bandai, i might say. ;D

[qb]

Nice! MSiA Prototypes! ;D

So, um, if there is no chick pilot, then who's the girl at the last part of the preview?

[no3Ljm]

you mean "her"? ;D

at first, i also thought she's a chick... but according to gunota:

Tieria Erde
?-years-old
Screen details: "A boy with a rare kind of beauty, his history, nationality, and origins all a mystery. Within his gentle tone, he can give a sense of cold intentions."

unless someone out there screws up the translations on the link photo. it's rather cool to have atleast one gorgeous chick to pilot one of the main MS. oh, and he's wearing glasses too. ala-Max Jenius.

[Uberjam]

hmmm kinda reminds me of Yellow Belmont from the anime series Genesis Climber Mospeada... a dude disguised as a lady singer. in some episodes he was even taken advantage by guys who thought he was a woman.

whoa... they have prepared everything...

looks like the exia is really a melee based unit... just look at that gunblade.

[raps]

Question: Are they combining Gundams? their similar to the SRW R-type machines especially the Gundam Exia and Virtue....
