Master Grade Heavy Gundam from MS-X updated
The FA-78-2 Heavy Gundam is another popular variant on the original Gundam and is essentially a refined version of the Full Armor Gundam. Hailing from the group of new variants called MS-X, the Heavy Gundam has a visor instead of the usual eyes and is equipped with a shoulder cannon, a beam saber, and the massive Frame Launcher (a Gatling gun / missile launcher combo). This Master Grade kit is based on the MG Perfect Gundam. It is being sold through Bandai's Premium Online shop. Coming September 2015 for 4,860 yen.

4 comments postedThe model is actually based off of the MG Perfect Gundam from 2003. Dead giveaways are the hands, the panel line on the shoulder piece inside the shoulder pad, and elbow joints. Also, the detail on the piece emerging from the chest and pegging into the arm is identical to that of the Perfect Gundam.
I hope this will be rectified.
The placard indicates that this is still in the planning stages, so I wonder is the model on display isn't just a mock-up.
Thank you for the correction.
...Bandai... we've got to talk about these exclusives, all of them. The excitement is too heavy for my wallet!
