  Not much is known at this point, only that Sunrise President & CEO Yasuo Miyakawa, Executive Vice-President of Production Cale Boyter, and Bandai Namco Holdings President and Representative Director Mitsuaki Taguchi appeared at the event to announce the movie.  They showed an extremely brief teaser and then showed off the promo poster for the movie itself.     A few Japanese sites have reported that Jing Jing, a popular Asian actress (Pacific Rim: Uprising, Great Wall, King Kong Skull Island) is a popular choice for possibly portraying Lala in the movie.  Which could give us a timeline on where this is actually set in the Mobile Suit Gundam universe. This would be bad news if I did not hear that Legendary will just be the production company, while Sunrise themselves is making the movie.  Sunrise has made every single major Gundam series since Mobile Suit Gundam.

Bandai tweeted out a few days ago that pre-orders for the Master Grade QAN Full Saber will be up tomorrow! This is another P-Bandai kit that will have a limited release in North America like the previous releases.   Are you looking forward to this?

A few months ago we saw that Bandai put an LED inside an RG Unicorn. What we saw were prototypes, and a few other builders also created their own RG Unicorn well.  It looked really good and made me want to try it myself, but did not have the tools or the know-how on how to do it. When I originally built the RG Unicorn, I noticed how a lot of sections had light-piping. Which is a way for light to be dispersed in clear plastic.  It is especially noticeable in the neck and head.  It has the same engineering as 1/100 kits that allow for an LED in the chest to light up the eyes. This is quite interesting as it could have been Bandai's plan from the start. The LED lights that they use are wireless.  They light up using magnetic field resonance.  This way the LED can be extremely small and not have to use wires.   You also do not need to solder or do any modifications. Once the kit is taken off the included base, the LED lights turn off.  You can also turn of the base itself. The base also has three different modes as the psycho frame of the kit is actually clear!  You have red LED pulsating, green LED pulsating, or green to red! The kit is a Gundam Base Tokyo exclusive and will retail for ¥10,800 or $99. It is scheduled to release next month. Click here to check out the official page and check out the promo images below!
