It's wild to me that we just got the HG RX-78-2 G40 in December, we're getting the Origin RX-78-02 in March, and they've just announced a new HG RX-78-2 for June.
My only complaint with the HG Core Gundam is the Mercuone form. Not the design, I think it looks dope and aquatic MS are sorely underrepresented. It's how it's being sold. The armor and weapons are both sold separately. Meaning you have to buy another Earthree Gundam to make it.
