The release of the Gunpla (plastic model) "HG 1/144 Destiny Gundam Spec II & Zeus Silhouette" (Bandai Spirits) from the anime "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM" on November 23rd is a hot topic. In addition, many new and popular products will be released in November, such as "HG 1/144 Borynok Saman". We will explain the notable Gunpla that will be released in November.
◇The long-awaited Destiny Spec II
The "HG 1/144 Destiny Gundam Spec II & Zeus Silhouette" (7,920 yen), which will be released on November 23rd, is a three-dimensional set of Destiny Gundam Spec II and Zeus Silhouette in the "HG" series. Although there is a clear color version of Destiny Gundam Spec II as a Gunpla sold in advance at the theater, the regular version has not been announced, so it has become a long-awaited new product for fans.
The Zeus Silhouette can also transform into MA form on its own. The large-volume main body, over 50 cm in length, can be displayed on the included action base. The hatches on the back and legs of the Zeus silhouette can be opened and closed, and the missile warhead can be exposed by replacing parts.
The Destiny Gundam Spec II reproduces the original coloring with molding colors. It comes with clear molded parts such as Wings of Light, Palma Fiocina effect, beam shield, and beam boomerang. It can also be equipped with weapons such as the Arondight beam sword and high-energy long-range beam cannon. The price is 7,920 yen.
◇ Gunpla of "Z" and "ZZ" are coming soon
The Gunpla of Borinook Saman, which appears in "Mobile Suit Z Gundam", "HG 1/144 Borinook Saman", will be released on November 30th. The special shield has a movable gimmick in the claw part, and fine details such as the beam output part at the tip are also reproduced. By attaching effect parts to the grip stored on the back of the special shield, it can become a beam tomahawk or beam saber. The shoulder armor is equipped with a deployment gimmick for recreating the firing of the explosive bullet launcher.
A head part that expresses the radiating state of the radome is included. The shine of the dome is reproduced by a replacement type using reflection cuts and stickers. In addition to the ball movement of the head, a movable axis is provided at the base of the neck, allowing it to swing back and forth widely. A pull-out mechanism is installed on the shoulders, expanding the range of motion of the arms. The backpack, which is the key to high mobility, can be moved individually using multiple ball joints. The price is 3,520 yen.
In addition to the Borynok Saman, new Gunpla products from "Mobile Suit Z Gundam" and "Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ" were announced at the event "HYPER PLAMO Fes.2024" held in March. "Figure-rise Standard Ple Two" is scheduled to be released in February 2025, and "HG 1/144 Psycho Gundam Mk-II" in March 2025, so future developments are also attracting attention.
