The Gunpla model "RE/100 1/100 Denan Ge" (Bandai Spirits) of the Denan Ge that appears in the anime "Mobile Suit Gundam F91" began taking pre-orders on September 4th on Bandai Namco Group's shopping site "Premium Bandai" and has become a hot topic for "instantly selling out." What is this much talked about Denan Ge?
◇Different from Denan Zon!
"Mobile Suit Gundam F91" was released in March 1991 and was a hot topic as it brought together three of the main staff members of "Mobile Suit Gundam" - General Director Tomino, character designer Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, and mecha designer Kunio Okawara.
The Denan Ge is the main mass-produced mobile suit of the Crossbone Vanguard, which aims to establish Cosmo Babylonia. It boasts well-balanced offensive power, equipped with standard features such as a beam rifle. It also served as the favorite mobile suit of ace pilot Sabine Charl towards the end of her career.
The scene in the movie where the Denan Ge kicks the head of a Jegan was also memorable. During the "F91" era, mobile suits were becoming smaller, and the scene highlighted the changing times as the new generation small mobile suit, the Denan Ge, overwhelmed the older generation large mobile suit, the Jegan.
The Denan Ge is sometimes mistaken for the Denan Zon, another mass-produced mobile suit from the Crossbone Vanguard. The Denan Zon is a melee type that excels in close combat, and the Denan Ge supports the Denan Zon. While the two have many similarities, such as circular goggles and a helmet-like head, the Denan Ge is unique in that it has an antenna on its head, and its equipment is also different.
◇First Gunpla
Denan Ge has been made into a three-dimensional figure in the "ROBOT Spirits" and "FW GUNDAM CONVERGE" series, but this is actually the first time that a Gunpla model has been released. Furthermore, it has been a long time since a new Gunpla product in the "RE/100" series was announced, so it has likely become a hot topic among fans.
Although it sold out immediately, Gunpla sold by Premium Bandai often accepts additional pre-orders, so if you missed out, keep an eye on future developments.
