TURN A TURN TURN A TURN TURN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Yeah I know the news is a couple of days old but better late than never right? The show is over and Well needless to say The fandom is very mixed. Some love, some like it some don't care for it, Many Hate it. I'm pretty imapartial, it's not like it's the end of the MG line so even if I was mad I still have many other kits to look forward to. As for Turn A it makes perfect sense. Not only because the DVD box is coming out so soon but also because Turn A represents the "full circle" of Gundam to Tomino. It's kinda like the Cherry on top of a sundae. Sure fans Hate the design but I'd say making Turn A the #100 is more a nod to the Gundam Mythos rather than just making another Popular MG. All in al if you're a Turn A fan (If any of the 7 of you are reading this) you all have a LOT to be excited about. This Turn A will be the Finest Turn A ever made easily destroying the Old 1/100, 1/144, Titanium and MSIA put together. Now that we have a Turn A, does that mean a Turn X is not far behind??

With the HUGE success of Code Geass in Japan, it was only a matter of time before Bandai would try to bank in on the craze and release goods based on the characters and mecha in the series. Model kits are no exception and Bandai has been teasing fans for months with it's 1/35 Scale HG Lancelot kit. Shown in the past several months in various prototype stages in hobby magazines and displayed at Wonderfest winter and Tokyo Toy festival. Bandai finally gives release and pricing details in this month's anime and hobby magazines. Lancelot is the first in a new line of Code Geass HG kits. A 1/20 scale unpainted figure of Suzaku in his pilot suit is included for all you girls to paint up however you like. Release is in May and the price is 2000yen. New kits of other Knightmare Frames will follow every couple of months (or sooner) I'm guessing. Personally I'm hoping Gawain is not too far off..

Ore, Sanjō!

We've got new pics of the second entry in Kotobukiya's HMM Zoids line: the Command Wolf, due out in June. Priced at 3000 yen, it's sure to be one frelling great kit. They're starting with the standard issue white, but we're sure to see one or two other versions before the end. I hope to have my full review of the Kotobukiya Shield Liger uploaded and ready to read shortly!
