GunPla Lineup March 2025

Date: 2025-03-01 04:54:00

March’s GunPla lineup may be light on regular retail releases, but it still delivers some heavy hitters! Leading the charge is the long-awaited MG 1/100 Gundam Vidar from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, bringing the sleek yet menacing mobile suit into the Master Grade lineup. Joining it is the HGUC 1/144 Psycho Gundam Mk-II, a massive addition from Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ that dominates with its sheer size and transformation gimmick.While the standard releases may seem sparse, there’s no shortage of kits to build, thanks to a strong showing from Premium Bandai and Gundam Base exclusives filling the gaps!HGUC 1/144 Psycho Gundam Mk-IIRelease Date: March 22, 2025Price: 11,000 YenPRE-ORDER HEREThe MRX-010 Psycho Gundam Mk-II (also known as the Psyco Gundam Mk-II) is a transformable mobile armor that appears in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and its sequel, Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ. It was piloted initially by Titans' Rosamia Badam and later by Neo Zeon's Ple Two.The kit features a completely new mold designed to resemble the Psycho Gundam Mk-II in 1/144 scale. Just like in the anime, this mobile armor is able to transform into a mobile fortress mode without the need to change parts.The MRX-010 Psycho Gundam Mk-II was an upgrade on the original MRX-009 Psycho Gundam. It also had a psycommu and psycho-control system, which allowed its pilot, a Newtype or Cyber Newtype, to control this gigantic mobile weapon with just their thoughts. It also carried over the Minovsky craft system for atmospheric flying and the capability to change into a "Mobile Fortress" mode from its predecessor. Even though the Psycho Gundam Mk-II's fusion reactor could only generate slightly more than half of what the Psyco Gundam could, it was nonetheless more lethal and energy-efficient, and it had more weapons with higher power ratings.MG 1/100 Gundam VidarRelease Date: March 2025Price: 6,600 YenPRE-ORDER HEREThe Gundam Vidar from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans has been brought to life through the GunPla's Master Grade lineup that fans of the series won't want to miss.
