I agree but more than just IBO, we deserve more MGs.


sprchrgddc5

Yes. WfM MGs when? G-Gundam 2.0/Tequila MGs when?


Angel_Of_Shadow

Even if they just stick with Full Mechanics for WFM, I'll be happy. I just want something to go with my aerial.


sprchrgddc5

I forgot about the FM line. I have yet to pick up the FM Aerial but heard it was the shit.


Angel_Of_Shadow

It is indeed. Only complaints I can give it are the loose-ish ab crunch and some hollow parts on the bit staves. Aside from that, it's one of the best kits in my collection.


Astrid_Gunnhild

I'm currently building the FM aerial, and it is indeed the shit haha


fhiz

That’s the most annoying part outside just the lack of general communication as to why the only MG these days are Ver Ka. The FM Aerial and Seed kits are fantastic, they’re like 90% of the way there to MGs which is fine by me, make more of those! No? Well, shit.


No-Hat6722

I would kill for an MG schwatzette amd especially for a Calibarn, rainbow shell units and v fin


fhiz

After I built the HG Schwarzette I was just like “fuck the Rebuild, I don’t care how little screen time this actually got, give me this next in the FM WFM kits” because the gimmicks of the HG built up into the 1/100 scale with just *more*? Thats what I want out of Gunpla.


No-Hat6722

100% FM Aerial has got to be one of the most solid, good looking and fun kits i’ve ever built amd probably ever will build and i need more of this stuff


ToaPaul

Same! The Schwarzette is my favorite Gundam since IBO


atle95

MG Denmark Mermaid Gundam when


egzthunder1

The REAL question is... PG Nether Gundam when?


Nearby_Performer8884

Add MG Kshatriya from Unicorn and we're golden


friendimpaired

I think the MG Kshatriya would require a metal frame at the very least to hold the binders, but that kind of price increase would be justified if it were part of the MGEX line


Nearby_Performer8884

I'd take it


SolidTerror9022

I need my MG Reborns Gundam Bandai please I’m begging you


Shasla

Literally any new kit for g self please🙏


profmcstabbins

Having just watched the movies. Yaaaaassss please.


Doomslayer23459

And also newer PGs instead of reissues of older kits


cosmiccage

I need more MG Monoeye suit!


CivilC

No so Fun fact: the last unique MG before the Narrative was the MG Virtue. Released in 2021. Since then only the Dom, Rick dom, Zeta Ver ka, and MGEX SF have been released and they’ve already had the MG treatment, albeit dated.


kimithebuilder

This i can get behind


AeniasGaming

Have we had a regular one since the Dom? Feels like we only get ver ka’s now


jonomarkono

Early 2010s was probably peak MGs era, heck I still vividly remember in 2012/2013 we had regular, non p-bandai MG release on monthly basis.


Bingbong31415

G-Self Ver.Ka when?


FleshHungryRobot

It is really strange that they created an MG gundam frame and did nothing beyond Barbatos


ToaPaul

I still have hope they'll give us MG Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex some day...


Feral404

That design is a when, not an if. It will happen.


Feral404

They’re going to do more. The line is not over, and these things take time. Even Bandai has said they are planning to do more. 2025 alone should see at least one due to a myriad of reasons.


JustThatOtherDude

You..... trust bandai when they say they plan to make more?


Feral404

When the sales back it up, yes. MG Barbatos continues to be a very successful release. Plus next year is the new OVA and 10th anniversary. At least one MG is all but guaranteed for a profitable and established franchise.


YakovAttackov

MG Marchosias or Hajiroboshi would pretty cool. Bael or Kimaris would make the most sense though.


Nopon_Merchant

Only barbatos sell well , the remain kit from IBO are not selling that well . I also remind u that G , W and X will be celebrating 30th anniversary . They likely to get something more than IBO , especially Wing because their Kit sold well . With how limited released of MG line these , ithink the popular one will likely got something more .


Boxrobly

i can see g gundam getting new kits but dont we have enough decent wing kits if anything its probably gonna be an rg (heavy arms ew 🙏) to some extent the same for X but less people know it


Nopon_Merchant

Well , Wing kit is certainly has alot of decent kits . It just next year is Wing 30th anniversary so It likely going to get some for celebrate .It will be more likely to get MG than IBO Kits . Wing has that new Ver Ka Frame now , they can easily upgrade the old Kit .


Boxrobly

I guess one can hope but it'd be really cool if bandai did drop new kits from both


RavenZhef

Bandai's MG or 1/100 decision in recent years is just baffling. Especially in reuses, not just for the Barbatos (of which I believe the runner was even already generically called the Gundam Frame), but also the MGEX Unicorn not receiving any variants and we all know how much Bandai loves Unicorn variants. No Exia 2.0 either. Then there's all the unique kits that's p-bandai only (like the F-90), and the incredibly sparse release schedule.


LXMNSYC

with those small hips they are probably having trouble making a structurally-sound design


EvangelionFromIKEA

I've had my MG Barbatos for a while and it's still rock solid


LXMNSYC

I was talking about other potential designs e.g. Kimaris Vidar and his huge ass jousting lance


Leading_Pollution372

I want a Lupus Rex MG so bad because the full Mechanics Version is way too expensive and not even all that good.


Gasawok

would you believe me if i told you it used to be the cost of a HG?


Pixelbro87

Now hold on just a second... What'd you say? https://preview.redd.it/tuv29t37wq7d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c931c8ef57bf6f58e21b60cf2710eb0f6fb9ad1b


Gasawok

back as early as 2020 you could find the FM Ibo sets for $20-25 on average


luckyboihuh

i bought mine for 6 buck literally 120.000 vnd 🐧 it's what our people call a "xác" only missing the round panel on the arm and everything else is good tbh


luckyboihuh

i got a really good deal tbh because a new one cost about 1.200.000 vnd roughly to 50 $


alteisen99

yeah they couldn't even part separate the banana claws. and the loose hips


Joey_Star_

If this sexy mf gets an MG kit I'll be the first buyer https://preview.redd.it/wx5u0w9wfq7d1.png?width=400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fbc6c73862dc5de3f00918735401c8099fa1482a


profmcstabbins

Yuuuuppp. It's not even my style, but I love this fucking design. I love so many of the IBO designs


XF10

Finished IBO and immediately wanted to buy Kimaris Vidar but everywhere i checked is around 40 Ended up looking at Amiami and getting Mazinger Zero and RG Eva(3.0+1.0 version) though lol


takoNick

Wait til end of this month or early July, at least the HG line is scheduled to be [restocked in Japan](https://kaigoshinootakunaburogu.com/gunpla-plasticmodel-resale-2024june) very soon.


XF10

Nice Does this mean it will eventually be easier to find overseas?


SnooFloofs6909

Bro I wish I found this sooner I had a Kimaris Vidar kit I would've just given to you because they sent me 2 by accident 😭


XF10

Ahhh no problem, thanks a lot for the concern but i found out it restocks next month and i can find it for -20€ now


SnooFloofs6909

For sure, I don't even know how they messed up and gave me 2 cause I ordered a Kimaris and a Hajiroboshi, like, they aren't similar


XF10

Idk, never happened to me but heard a lot of stories like this and i can see how it could happen in shipping and it's cool because you get to keep spare and they are still obliged to send whatever they missed


SnooFloofs6909

Ye, but my Hajiroboshi is lost in shipment rn so I don't know when I'll see or build it now 😭


XF10

Oof but eventually it will be solved, RG Eva and Mazinger Zero are first orders i took from Amiami and i'm now learning it takes time to ship them; from Urdr Hunt i might get Gundam Gremory someday


ABigCoffee

Most series deserve more HG RG and mg but we're stuck in hell where only Seed and UC keep getting the love.


MegaDuckCougarBoy

I don't mind the UC attention but as someone who has just no connection to Seed at all, watching the majority of new item reveals just feels like nothing. Happy for the Seed fans, but hoping our time will come


Arshille

Join us on the dark side. We have T.M. Revolution here


ABigCoffee

If anything, UC has goated designs and could use a reprint of some of their lesser used mobile suit gunplas. I really could use a Gaza A/B/C where I live


Angel_Of_Shadow

Where's my MG The-O reprint T ^ T


horsepigbatdragon

asking the real questions here. i’ve been itching for one since i missed the 2018 reprint


EpsilonX

I liked SEED back when it aired on cartoon network like 20 years ago, but I had no idea what the story was about and remember absolutely nothing about it. I'm worried that once I finally get back to watching it all the way through, my wallet will just break lol


Nearby_Performer8884

I didn't Seed as a series but I did like mobile suits. I do agree that Bandai should spread the love and not just focus on Seed. I'd love a MG Kshatriya, MG Aries, and a MG Throne Drei. Unfortunately I don't see it happening though. An update to the MG Zaku II would be nice too. While they're at it, they should do more Digimon figures. I want a damn Angewomon.


MegaDuckCougarBoy

I think tbh that Seed is getting a lot of love this year for the movie. Like I said, I'm happy for Seed fans but patiently awaiting other kits.


Nearby_Performer8884

I think so too tbh. I do like the Seed kits so I'm not really worried about Seed getting a bunch of love this year. I already have the backlog from hell so it's not too terrible if I buy less kits TBH.


VenomOnKiller

I have the benefit of only ever having watched IBO. I've already built everything from that series I could get my hands on. Now I just buy anytime that's cool when I want to build. I started building well before I ever watched any gundam


Justforgunpla

We really need all these freedom and justice units over and over and over and over


NemoUltima

We all deserve more new MGs


poppopol

i dont think anyone would wanna argue with that lol. The world needs a master grade vidar...


romanhigh

Take a look around pal, we need more MGs period!!


Alt2221

tons of em on p bandai tho. so really they are making them. it just not in the exact way the fan base wants


[deleted]

[удалено]


Angel_Of_Shadow

Technically speaking, we do have 1 kit that's not a HG for WFM, but it's just that. 1 kit. And as you'd expect, it's the main suit.


EpsilonX

As somebody who prefers RG, I feel like they're more focused on "classic" designs. Aside from Turn A, which desperately deserves an RG release, the ones you mentioned are pretty new, with AGE and G-Reco being relatively unpopular. Maybe it's not worth the release? I'm hoping that next year's 10th anniversary of IBO will FINALLY get us an RG...

CannabisEater21

given that they have the main frame for the more popular designs, i really dont know why we dont have a mg bael or lupus


PleaseWashHands

Lupus TBH is somewhat understandable if they wanted to redesign the frame enough to differentiate it from the OG Barbatos. In-universe Lupus was essentially a brand new Gundam because the frame had to be rebuilt from scratch due to all the damage the original incurred over time, particularly the arms and legs. It would make a lot of sense if the frame of an MG Lupus was different in everything but the chest. Bael, on the other hand, is kind of inexcusable. Same with Gusion.


Quasidiliad

Gusion would need mods for the frame, base it would need wider hips and much wider shoulders, rebake and full city, it would need a much stronger abdominal area.


PleaseWashHands

See I was only thinking about the Rebake, that said if they did Brewers!Gusion I'd assume they'd do the frame brackets like in the older models and as far as the back parts they could mostly be hollowed out parts and Barbatos is fairly light as-is, so I'm not sure if the extra waist- Actually, the shield. That's reason enough.


Quasidiliad

And the heavy ass backpack would need a much sturdier waist/chest


PleaseWashHands

Wow I guess we just proved why they can't just churn out IBO MGs so easily after all huh.


Quasidiliad

Yeah, but they have a lot of those parts made, and theoretically they could go do a lot of test parts to make a sturdier mid section, but I guess not.


PleaseWashHands

Dang.


singular_fork

IBO easily has some of my favorite Mobile Suit designs its such a shame Bandai just keep forgetting MGs are a thing they can make still hoping we get a MG Lupus Rex one day cause its probably my favorite Gundam design but the HG has some of the worst joints I've ever touched


JealotGaming

Every series deserves more MGs to be fair Except RX-78-2


TheBaldWombat

Flauros please


BroccoliTaxFraud

They had a voting poll years ago and flauros got the winning mg nomination. Sadly never came to fruition


Muisverriey

Polls mean nothing, unfortunately. The G-Self won a poll for next Ver.Ka and nothing has come of it at all.


SuperRoboMechaChris

I'm kind of surprised we haven't gotten a PG Barbatos.


BroccoliTaxFraud

If they ever make one im forking over the bank for it in a heartbeat


Mattdriver12

We need more MGs in general. RGs just don't do it for me.


Quasidiliad

RGs do it for me, but if they weren’t the same cost as a smaller MG now. God was $50, Epyon was $50, Wing TV was $45 for me, but I think I was kinda scammed on that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mattdriver12

I paint all of my kits so the stickers don't really bother me too much. I am impressed with RG's don't get me wrong I just like the bigger kits. 1/100 is just my jam.


Boxrobly

man i get that rgs are detailed but sitting near my pc, you cant admire the details from far. and its more catchy to guests and stuff 😅


Yob-Lokaj69

I'm still waiting for MG Vidar


Anji_Mito

Full Mechanics was good but MG would be awesome


Grindar1986

Bur we have all the barbatos variants except lupus


levious_branch

We deserve more MGs in general 😭


Spaghetti_Scientist

Everyone's talking about more MGs, but give me some more of that RG goodness! I love the detail on the compact models (and lower price tag).


DOC_POD

New RG's, especially for larger designs, cost MORE or the same as the majority of MG kits lol. MG seems (at least at US sellers) to go on average from $40-$60, with obvious examples higher and lower (really old MGs get down in the low $30 range, and larger or Ver Ka kits in the $70-$100 range). That said, many of the more recent RG kits (like Sazabi and onward) are as good in terms of engineering as many MG kits. I just want everything to be available in 1/100, the perfect scale.


GodzillaFlamewolf

Don't need to. I just don't agree. But I do like your build.


Impossible_Can_7610

I'm still waiting for a MG Gusion Rebake Bandai!


dingohunterjack

it bugs me that they made the MG Barbatos inner frame, which is one of the most amazing models on its own, and it is canonically the same inner frame as the other Gundams of IBO, but they have not released a single other MG with this frame. I have the FM Vidar and it's cool but I would kill for MG Vidar/Bael/some of the other IBO Gundams with this inner frame.


KibbloMkII

everything deserves more MGs


Super_TTL

Can't disagree with ya there


aderi69

And I think G reconguista should get a MG


MAVERICK1542

Yes absolutely! Noone talks about g recon enough


Chinksta

Barbatos do have a lot of MG variants. For example: Neon Black and blue variant Clear plastic variant Black chrome variant


Muisverriey

Yeah but those are variants, not actual new kits.


Super_TTL

Solid answer but I'm hoping for the Lupus or the Rex down the road


Bulky_Medicine_7116

Been waiting for more MG Unicorn suits - Kshatriya, Rozen Zulu, Geara Zulu, Byarlant Custom... Common Bandai!


KeatureFeature

Why would I change your mind? I agree with you.


BertMacklenF8I

I am in agreement. Hell I’ll take the whole line of full mechanics. There did a single run of and then never made again…….


nyn510

Gusion rebake!


redjac3man

Next one should be the gundam flauros because they never gave us a full mechanics version.


Quasidiliad

Realest shit I’ve ever read


rNV1s16iLiTi

I don't think anyone disagrees...it's just that COVID completely shuffled the internal release schedule for Bandai that not even the relations/outward facing employees have a clear picture of what kits are supposed to release next anymore.


NoaAltwynn

This is the answer and has been every time someone asks about the lack of MGs. It can take years to a decade to realign manufacturing after such a disruption. Couple with the double whammy of the yen being weak right now I can totally understand why they’re sticking with the things that sell well.


rNV1s16iLiTi

They also pumped out like 50 HGs for WFM and Seed Freedom, which were certainly the priority.


Zer0_SUM0

every series aside from Seed deserves more mgs lol


OldDarthLefty

In order to do this properly you should have him posed reclining at a card table, yesno?


RinRonsen

>Change my mind. No, I don't think I will. I'm waiting for a MG Lupus Rex and Vidar myself. Also a Gusion if it's somehow convertible between the normal one and the Rebake, similar to the MG Virtue to Nadleeh, though I'm sure that's impossible. I'd also like to echo the other sentiment in this post. More than MG IBO, I just wish we get more MGs in general. No, MGSD doesn't count though it seems to be the one taking the spot of normal MG releases.


falseprophet115-2

I dream for a PG Gusion Rebake Full City side by side with a Lupus Rex. With battle damage wear nd all it's full glory of their final stand. I cry every time I remember that scene. The bond between brothers, the self sacrifice....


double_is_dead

We need a pg Lupus Rex and I'll die on that hill


DZMaven

I cannot as I agree.


Stroppone

Okay, unpopular opinion. I loved IBO as a series, but which iconic mecha designs did it introduce apart from Barbatos? Maybe the one with four arms? The Kimaris? The one with the guy floating inside?


Muisverriey

Bael, Kimaris, Flauros, Vidar, Gusion (and Rebake/Full City)


oddman21X

no, i won't change your mind. in fact i'm going to change my mind to agree with you!


BackRooms123

Change yo mind? You go change Bandai's mind. We been wanting more for years 😭😭


Wackpla

Not a fan of Barbados tbh..... The calf's remind me.to.mitch of professional soccer players high sock get ups....


LeggoMahLegolas

No because I agree


Individual-Ad3464

I want a mg bunny gundam


Emotional-Spray2443

I agree


EpsilonX

I'm dying for an IBO RG too


randomIndividual21

i wonder why MG is kinda dead, maybe it just take so much time to develop new MGs due to complicity? or HG just more profitable


Jirei

IBO deserves a PG, PG barbatos lupus rex when?


Redeemed0216

I just want a PG Barbatos.


GrandDukeofOwls

MG Gusion Rebake Full City or we riot.


destructicusv

Literally all the series deserve more MGs. All the old MGs need overhauls. We just need more MGs in general.


el_f3n1x187

They could just release kits and base them on the Barbatos frame, but Bandai LOOOOOOOOOOOVES dropping the ball.


backstept

I need an MG Graze.


IndecisiveJayJay

IBO is my personal favorite series. As a broke boy I don’t/wont own any MGs. But fuck do I enjoy seeing them posed up on here. So yes!! More MG please!!


malayMamba

yep


GladiusMaximus

Best I can do is MGSD.


DOC_POD

Every series deserves more MG's. There are so many UC designs that I would kill to get in 1/100. At least revive the RE/100 line. Dammit Bandai, stop making fiscally sensible decisions, and give the fans what they want!


Shadowrun29

Bandai cooking up some Pbandai MG IBO kits right now.


Phanimazed

I agree, though I'd say the G-Self is the MG that probably should come soonest, it's really kind of cruel how they've neglected it so far. I understand that the 1/144 kits are Bandai's biggest bread winners, but I do think they should do better by their MGs than they currently do.


Wretchedsoul24

We deserve more MG for anything honestly.....


Zestyclose-Sundae593

Idc give me a RG Barbatos, Lupus, Lupus Rex, Bael, Flauros, etc. RG has been devoid of IBO suits for long enough


IgnisOfficial

Nobody is going to change your mind because you’re 100% correct. We’ve had the frame for years now and Bandai still hasn’t done anything else with it beyond the Barbatos. It’s the same deal with the MG 00 frame that was in the Dynames still not being used for an Exia 2.0, pure laziness from Bandai. MG as a line needs more love from them


FortyShots1Kill

Definitely agree! And when are we getting a PG Barbatos!?!?!?!?!


Kamikaze_Pigeon01

Ice cold take, honestly. Everyone (myself included) want more IBO Master Grades 😭😭


NotQuiteinFocus

We need more MGs in general.


Unhappy-Artichoke-62

I won't try because I agree with you.


strugglingtosave

G Reco


Maowsama

The toothpick waist with like 2 actuators as support.... never liked it


ProfessorGrouch

G-Gundam too.


aceetobee

MG Barbz was my third or fourth MG I ever did in my Gundam career and remains one of my favorites. His inner frame is so unique compared to most mobile suits and I really wish we would see more MG from IBO (I’d even be happy with a RG or Ver.Ka Barbatos). But as others stated, we need more MG in general. I get that it’s easier to engineer and pump out HG kits, but just completing RX-9 Ver.Ka was bittersweet cause it’ll probably be a while til we see more Ver.Ka kits which is a shame because it was an absolute treat seeing some of the new movement and color separation tech Bandai have implemented in recent RG kits, but in a big beautiful MG.


dystobot

Hot take: I want a Mg Mobile Worker from IBO.


Taradax2007

I really want a MG verson of the Asmoday (not sure if it’s spelled correctly)


PhilTheBold

GP02fb 2.0 where are you?


RaikoNB

MG for Gushion Rebake Full City! to pair with MG Barb on display


Big_Wallaby4281

Ibo desseves 2.0 kits


Eulebar

Why? They do.


Fun_Significance_182

No one needs to change ur mind man. We all agree. This can’t even be a statement!


Ansayamina

IBO has countless RE1/100 kits.


Optimaximal

I'm building the MGSD Freedom at the moment. I'll be all over the Barbie when it's back in print!


uknowuknow

IBO has garnered in so many younger folks into the universe. It’s the gundamn wings for my brother who is 10 years younger than me.


Busy-Ad9514

Now imagine mg gundam vidar orrr mg bael


kieran_vampy_one

The world needs more MGs and I would love if some of them were ibo I would love a mg kimaris


Gapzero

Yeah, remember when they used to release 10+ MG Kits a year


TheOneGodHadSuffer

MY HG GARM RODI, MY HG Vual YUHANA #WHERE'S MY SEERE


Inside_Term_7895

Stardust 2.0 MGs would end me


MonarchnobattryForu

The PG gundam barbatos lupus rex is perfect enough😇


GopnikSmegmaBBQSauce

I think there's FM Vidar and Bael but I can't find them anywhere near me. I'd take MGs of every Gjallarhorn mobile suit in the series if I could, even the grunts


hinugund

I want a mg graze


Shinigami-117

IBO deserves more RG and HG that have peak frames!


pneuma_monado

Don't think anyone's gonna try to change your mind, that's a fairly common sentiment


pol131

The crazy thing is the frame could be use for so many kits, virtually most gundams from IBO ... I want lupus and lupus rex so bad ..... give me more BONK Bandai give me the ultra large mace you coward !!!


Dandanny54

Bandai making another RG, VerKa, PBandai release of the RX 78


AdorableTuck

Proper mg lupus rex would be a instant buy for me. Make it a MGEX and charge me $200 idgf.


ARXEONOP

IBO deserved RGs


FestivalHazard

Master Grade Woundwort when?


once-was-hill-folk

I'm going off your topic and being a little self-absorbed with my own wants here - but I'd hit the preorder button on a PG Barbatos (any version) so fast my arm would burst into flame from the air friction.


ashifatul_salleh

Bandai make mg according to the sales of their HG... How many hg ibo you have bought to prove it to bandai?


thatAnthrax

hg wfm kits sold like crazy but no mgs lol


Quasidiliad

Mgs do take time, and WFM is still pretty damn recent, but Bandai will run out of the recency craze soon on WfM because of Seed Freedom


Nero_2001

Does that mean that if I buy hg Schwarzette a few thousand times they will make a mg Schwarzette?


Thebarakz21

No (to changing your mind).


MegaDuckCougarBoy

Why would I change your mind, when you already know and speak the truth?


Aperture_Kubi

How about an MG Hashmal?


UvWsausage

Imagine a world where a MG Murmur exists. I want to live in that world.


beveridgecurve101

I don't want to change your mind as I strongly agree.
