After seven long years, we’re finally getting another main Gundam series! Titled ‘Gundam: The Witch from Mercury<\/a>‘, it debuts in October 2022 with a female lead, a first in its formula since the ‘Mobile Suit Gundam’ first aired in 1979. The unnamed female character was revealed standing in front of her Gundam, Gundam Aerial. However, nothing was revealed yet, not even which timeline or universe it is in!<\/p>\n

New Gunpla<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to the\u00a0launch press conference<\/a>, high-grade 1\/144 scale models for the three revealed mobile suits are already in production: Gundam Aerial, Gundam Lfrith, and Beguir-Beu.<\/p>\n

Gundam Aerial<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The main Gundam of this series is distinct in terms of colour scheme, spotting the classic white and blue primary tones, with a hint of yellow and red. Looking at the armaments, there seem to be two beam sabers attached to the back. On the hand, it seems to be holding onto what looks like a compact beam rifle on the right hand with a shield on the left. For design, it looks fairly inspired by the Iron-Blooded Orphans series with a backpack port. However, it has fairly noticeable differences from the Gundam used there. Could this be the future of the Iron-Blooded Orphans series!?<\/p>\n

Gundam Lfrith<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Gundam Lfrith looks to be the second Gundam in the series (similar to Gundam Gusion Rebake). And as with the Gundam Aerial, it seems to have two beam sabers on the back, a compact beam rifle, and a shield. However, what stands out is how the head is designed. The head seems to be inspired by the Patlabor series (another series that is worth watching).<\/p>\n

Beguir-Beu<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Could this be the arch-nemesis of the Gundam Aerial? It appears to have two thruster\/funnels located at the back. It does not look to be carrying any weapons. However, if history has taught us anything, the weapons might be hidden in the backpack, OR the backpack itself is the weapon! With so many speculations, we can’t help but get excited. Furthermore, we’re pretty sure everyone will want to add these model kits into their collection once it has been released into the market.
