Update – Ami Ami and Amazon have posted listings for the kit already.
Rumours have been spreading on 2ch that Bandai might be revealing a MG Gundam v3.0 in August for 4,500Y. While no official announcement has been made yet, the timing of this information coincides with the upcoming “MG Evolution” reveal that is planned to go down on Thursday 16th May at the Shizouka Hobby Show.
「機動戦士ガンダム」より、「RX-78-2 ガンダム」がVer.3.0となって登場。脅威の可動範囲と究極の外装連動の融合!前モデルVer.2.0を越える基本可動性能を実現するムーバブルアーマーシステムを搭載。同システムでは装甲パーツにも内部と連動した可動性を付加。従来、可動の妨げになりがちだった肩アーマーなどにアクセント可動を追加することで、可動の自由度を大幅に向上させている。
The ver3.0 seems to take after the RG Gundam and 1/1 scale Gundam in Odaiba. It apparently also sports a “Movable Armour System” which allows the outer armour to move with the inner frame to allow unparalleled freedom of movement.
Note that it has been almost 8 years since the first ver2.0 kit was released (the Gundam MkII) and the start of a ver3.0 line might be what the announcement on Thursday is referring to.
