Gunpla Pre-orders and New Releases for June-July 2016

It’s summer, and for me that means anime convention season! As much as I love the convenience of ordering Gunpla over Amazon Prime and having it arrive the next day, there’s something magical about picking up a new kit from the dealer’s room.

Wherever you’re buying Gunpla this summer, we’ve got a list for you of the latest and greatest models to order and pre-order in June and July. Check them out below:

New Releases for June 2016

Graze Custom (1/100)

This unique suit is broken on purpose—blending the white and green Graze parts that it was salvaged from in a lopsided, but fitting result for its hardscrabble pilot, Akihiro.

I love the police-tape caution look of this paint job, making an old-model Zaku look a lot more dangerous than it really is.

With classic, streamlined features, Gundam Seed Destiny models like this one have always been some of the best models on the market (so that’s one good thing to come out of Destiny!)

HGUC Full Armor Unicorn Gundam (Destroy Mode/Red Color Ver.) (pictured at top)

For those who are watching Gundam Unicorn Re:0096 (like me), here’s a fitting late-model Unicorn to build. I love that shield-created “ninja star.”
