The Poisoned 069: RULING by INFINITE NOVA (SNAA + INFINITE DIMENSION COLLAB)

 So, the reveal has finally been posted in their Weibo account!

I did not expect that the model will be a full ranged-type mecha. I thought that it would be the same as Judge as a melee-type model. But we still don't know if that's already all the weapons the model will have once it is full available. Base on the post, this is just their prototype. So, there could be many other things not included in the model kit yet. Yes, it is a model kit as far as I remember from the news. And I hope it stays like that.

As for the design, I really love it. I might get one if the price will be manageable. My only worry now is how the heck am I going to hide this. I don't want this displayed on my shelf because it will just eat a lot dust. Anyways. Let's wait for other information in the future, especially the painted product and the decals.

The Poisoned 068: DABAN MODEL 6642S - MG PHENEX NARRATIVE VER

 I guess it was just a matter of time before they [Daban] decided to copy the Phenex as well. I will be honest, I am not very much familiar with the difference of the normal Phenex and the Narrative version. Is it just the tail on the Shields?

Anyways, I just hope the quality is good. The big problem here would be the nub marks if they parts are not undergated. We got a lot of new things from Bandai, including the Casval RX 78 2. If Bandai saw these updates from Daban again, we should prepare for the worst that they can be shut down again and will be gone for a couple of years, or maybe even permanent. As long as Daban is still here, people should already get the rare ones just to be sure.

Back to the images, I got the pictures from a friend's post in one of my Gunpla-related groups. I haven't checked the other pages if they already posted this.

The Poisoned 067: NEW 00 GUNDAM MODEL FROM DABAN! 00 7 SWORDS?

 So, this was posted in our local FB Gunpla group and a lot of people made their guesses about this.

Based on the color of the pixels, it's kind of does look like Exia. But I'm sure this will not be the MG Exia Devise or even the Exia Repair IV. It's possible that they might release the MB ver for Exia. 

However! We have a lot of extra parts laid down in front of the model. And if we try to use 7 Swords as a base for the image, it will perfectly match it! 

And here's the picture of the Metal Build 00 7 Swords from Bandai.

So yeah, we already have a possible MB version for 00 7 Swords but in a DIY model kit format. I might get this since I love 00.

The Poisoned 066: MG 1/100 UNICORN PERFECTIBILITY (DABAN 6656)

 I didn't want to post the early rumors yet because there were so many options on the list. We were quite hyped up that the list includes EX-S 1.5, Deep Striker, and even FAZZ ver Ka. But now, it's revealed that it is the MG Unicorn Perfectibility. I'm not mad, but I was expecting Deep Striker more than this.

As for the new builders out there, Bandai released this as a Premium as far as I know. So, if you just want a replica, then this can be an option. Of course, we still need to wait for a proper review to find out about the issues. The picture shows that we don't have any waterslide decals for this kit. We have the common dry transfers and clear stickers. I am not familiar with the P-Bandai version, so, I am not sure if the action base is already included there.

I am not sure if I should get this. I already have a few kits lined up for this year. But if the budget allows me to, then I might reconsider it.

The Poisoned 065: MNO-XH03 AO BING (FROM MOTOR NUCLEAR)

 First off, all I know about the Motor Nuclear brand is that they always release fully built models/figures. And this is a surprise to me that they have released a complete DIY model kit; runners and all. I am not sure if their other models have been like this. I never got interested in them since I always want a model kit and not a fully built figure.

Another thing that made me think is one of the builder's comment in an FB group I follow. He said that SNAA was XH01 and this [Ao Bing] was coded as XH03. In my mind, I don't think SNAA will do any "collab" with Motor Nuclear. IF AND ONLY IF they are actually partners with this kit, then why skip on XH02 and jump straight on XH03? Motor Nuclear already made a good reputation for their "Dynasty Warriors" styled models. There's no benefit for them to partner with someone since they can do it themselves. 

I tried to do some personal checking in the internet. If you search Motor Nuclear kits, the last 2 kits with 01 and 02 was Bai Qi  and Cao Ren. I will show the images below. 

MNQ-01 Bai Qi

MNQ-02 Cao Ren

It's just my personal opinion that I don't think SNAA will have a collaboration with a rival store. But in order to prove me wrong, SNAA should release a kit from XH02 and ALSO JUMP onto XH04. That would connect the dots. Otherwise, it's just a mere coincidence. 

Anyways, the box is huge and there's a lot of runners for this model. I also love the detailing on the parts. Some of them are already pre-colored. So there's no need to paint them. Even though, a separated part would be nice, Motor Nuclear, already giving the full service of painting them is a bonus for straight-builders. I also believe that the parts are undergated base on the placement of their gates. That would be nice since it would cover or hide the nub marks.

The picture also shows a few packs of separated inner frame parts. Probably die-cast metal parts for the joints. If you check the labels of the runners, you can also see the coding of MNP. So that's probably our Motor Nuclear name, but I don't know what the P stands for ('project' perhaps?).
