Gunpla Pre-orders and New Releases for June-July 2017

It’s officially the height of summer! I’d say something like, “go outside and enjoy this weather,” but here in DC it’s so swamptacularly humid I’d rather stay in and build Gunpla.

If you live in a similarly unsuitable climate, there’s fortunately plenty to do indoors. From Gundam Wing and Endless Waltz finally coming to Blu Ray, to Funimation licensing Iron-Blooded Orphans, there are plenty of new releases to watch. And, it turns out, there are plenty of new Gunpla to build, too! Let’s check them out.

P.S. If you are thinking of braving the heat here in DC, Gunpla 101 has a panel at Otakon called “Gunpla Is Freedom.” Stay tuned to find out more!

New Releases for June 2017

MG Justice Gundam (pictured at top)

A classic model gets the Master Grade treatment it deserves. It’s a well proportioned mobile suit in striking red accompanied by showstopping weaponry components.

HG Gundam Dantalion (pictured above)

Very rarely does a model make my eyes pop out as I shout, WHAT IS THIS MONSTROSITY but here we are. Dantalion does not skip arm day. Do you like it or is it too extreme?

HGUC Gundam AN-01 Tristan

Here’s our first model from the new ONA short, Gundam Twilight Axis. It’s a pretty standard build with some huge accessories and a streamlined silhouette.

HGPG Petitgguy Charaguy Fumina (pictured above)

What a cutie! Gundam Build Fighters Try protagonist Fumina gets her own chibi bearsuit.

HGPG Petitgguy Charaguy Gyanko (pictured above)

The same idea, but with Gyanko this time! I love these.
