The NZ-003 Gadessa and GNR-101A GN Archer have been slated for a 2009 January release at 1575 and 1260 yen respectively. I can confidently declare that the Gadessa is 1/144 scale based on the price range. However I’m not too sure the GN Archer is also 1/144 scale.
Additionally, Gundamer has new images of its 00 Gundam + O Raiser set. Of note would be the 00 Gundam marking version which sports decals and a lighter colour scheme which ought to be the official colour of the 00 Gundam and Gundam Exia instead of the more saturated blue.
This weekend, there will be an Anime Festival Asia ‘08 held in Singapore, from 22-23 November 2008. This event aims to cover many popular otaku sects as you can see from the official website.
While it may be too late to obtain entry passes for the event, the official website has listed the following merchandise which may be on sale.
- 1/60 Gundam Exia Clear Trans-Am Version
- HG 1/144 Gundam Exia Clear Colour Version
- MG 1/100 Gundam Ver. OYW G3 Colour Version
- SOC GX-44 Tetsujin 28 and Black Ox
Product launches have also been listed, though it’s not explicitly mentioned if they will be on sale during the event.
- 1/100 00 Gundam
- HG 1/144 Seravee Gundam
- MG 1/100 Shin Matsunaga’s Zaku II Ver.2.0
- BB Senshi 317 Shusou Doven Wolf
Bandai’s SIC Limited Masked Rider Den-O Rod and Ax Form will also go on sale. There are only 30 pieces available and 30 lucky folks will lay their paws on sculptor Ando Kenji’s signature.
Also, 20 lucky folks who buy the MG 1/100 Gundam Ver.2.0 will also get to attend an autograph session with mecha designer Kunio Okawara.
There will also be a mystery RAH (Real Action Heroes) figure by Medicom Toy on show. Speaking of RAH figures, a RAH figure of Blade (played by Wesley Snipes) has been announced. Don’t be surprised this would be the exact one on show.
I wanted to continue working on my 1/100 Tallgeese but ended up spending the whole of yesterday and today evening completing Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. I lost my save file and replayed the game with cheats to catch up with my progress. Also I had already charged my batteries and was ready to take photos, but I had to clear up the mess that was my table and make way for people who will be coming over tomorrow to install a split air-con in my house. Can’t believe my parents actually spent so much dough on renovating both toilets, installing a heater (yes I have been showering either with unheated water or a big tub of hot water and a scoop for all my life until now), re-wiring the entire house and lighting, changed all the doors and now air-con’s for my parents’ room (of which the air-con was spoilt pretty long ago), the study room where I’m in and the bedroom I share with my brother. I find it pretty disconcerting it’s all done during this financial crisis.
