Why yes, those are new Gunpla in this month's scansThe big news from this month's slew of scans isn't necessarily anything new, but focus on something that a couple of people (me) are certainly excited about. Last month, the new Master Grade Nu Gundam ver. Ka was announced for the price of 7,000 yen. It's an upgrade from the original kit in both design and price, so there are wonders as to what will make this version special and worth the price. As it appears, the kit will feature an LED gimmick. While LEDs are nothing new, it's at least something nice to be thrown in. The design is enough to get me to pre-order this, so I'm eagerly anticipating its December release date. For actual new item releases, we'll be getting a HGUC Delta Gundam Kai. This kit won't be gold chrome-plated like the original version, so this kit will see the price reduction down to 2,700 yen. As for its colors, it won't be gold, but instead how it appeared in the PS3 Gundam UC game. It's set to be released for this December as well. Also appearing is a HG-AGE Clanche Custom, which will go for 1,365 yen in December. As much as I like the design, I just really hate AGE. Seriously, AGE is terrible. Thank God it ends tomorrow. Lastly, the much-talked about Real Grade Zeta Gundam is finally confirmed as transformable. We don't know if it does so by part-swapping, but you will have your choice as whether to display it in MS or Waverider modes. If you believe in this sign of Zeta, it'll cost you 3,000 yen when it's released in November. [Images via Cyber Gundam] Did you know?
