Event Photos: Chara Hobby 2012 - MG 1/100 Aegis & Buster

There are lots of new Gundam Model kits that were showcased during the recently held Chara Hobby 2012, but what I am excited about are the MG models kits from Gundam SEED. Earlier, the official full color photos of the MG 1/100 Buster Gundam were released, but this is the first time that we can view MG 1/100 Aegis Buster Gundam up close in full color.

Being a big Gundam SEED fan, I'm really excited to see all it's first five Gundam in Master Grade form and I'm glad that Bandai actually made it happen. Both of these kits looks very sharp and has lots of fine details that made it stand out as compared to the older 1/100 non-grade counterparts.

I'm just a little worried on how the older MG 1/100 Strike would look next to these four new master grade models (Duel, Blitz, Buster and Aegis) because the Strike has lesser details in comparison. I'm kind of wishing that Bandai would release a version 2.0 of the MG Strike but that would make my MG Aile Strike and MG Sword/Launcher Strike obsolete (I haven't even built my MG Sword/Launcher Strike).

Anyway, its still really nice to see the MG model kit product line improving continuously over time. Now that the first five Gundam SEED MG series is complete, I wonder what series will Bandai work on next.

See these awesome shots from Chara Hobby 2012 below.
