Gunpla Pre-orders and New Releases for February 2015

Here’s an idea: if you stay on top of the Gunpla pre-orders each month, you can sometimes be the first to know which suits are going to be revealed next on currently airing shows. It’s almost like getting a sneak preview.

This post is our second installment of featuring the month’s new releases—and next month’s pre-orders—for your reference. Check out what’s new and upcoming:

New releases for February 2015

MG 1/100 Gundam Exia Dark Matter (pictured above)

It’s not every month that we get a new Master Grade model. This suit dramatizes Exia’s already imposing shoulder-span with wing add-ons. Pointed toes and red-and-black coloring complete the devilish look.

HGBF 1/144 Hi-Nu Gundam Vrabe

Sometimes you’ll also see this called “Hi-Nu Gundam Brave,” which frankly makes more sense. It’s from Gundam Build Fighters Document, a manga about Tatsuya Yuuki’s childhood that isn’t available in English yet.

HG G-Reco 1/144 Gaeon Model Kit (pictured below)

I have a soft spot for purple models, and Gundam Reconguista in G has no shortage of them. Gaeon is a space assault suit, but the sturdy shields surrounding three quarters of its body probably make for great defense.

Elf Bullock (Mask Custom)

“Is this some kind of chicken?” is what I said to John when I first saw this one. Say what you will about G-Reco, but nobody can deny it’s got some of the weirdest mobile suits out there. With twig-like feet and what I can only think of as a turkey waddle, this one is certainly unique.

HGBF 1/144 Try Burning Gundam (pictured below)

Did everybody catch episode 20 of Gundam Build Fighters Try? The more I learn about what this suit is capable of, the more I want to own a copy. Also, look at the full burning mode!

Lightning Back Weapon System Mk-II

This version of Yuuma’s Gunpla comes with all the bells and whistles, included a back-mounted core fighter. Guess that’s a one-up over the original Zeta!

SDBF Star Winning Gundam

Speaking of core fighters, there’s nothing cuter than one that’s been chibified for an SD’s back! I love the choice to make the green pieces opaque like jade gems.
