Top Ten MS that Need New Gunpla Kits

Been mulling this for awhile, but there’s so many cool mobile suits that go without ever getting a model kit, or at least a decently accessible one. So, here’s my list of the ten I want to see the most as Gunpla, or at least have updated kits.

10. TFA-2 ZuOOT





Gunpla


The ZuOOT didn’t do much in Gundam Seed, but it’s still a shame it wasn’t represented with a kit of some sort. Not even one of those little FG kits with no articulation? This thing's way cooler than the BuCUE or GoohN.

9. Moran


Gunpla

An unfortunately named MS from G no Reconguista, the Moran has an interesting design aesthetic like many of it’s contemporaries. It would have been nice if we could have had at least one of the Towasangan suits as a kit, especially since this one had lots of screen time and recolor potential with Rockpie’s Moran.

8. G-M1F (XM-0754) Bandit

Gunpla

One of many mobile suits from Turn A Gundam that lacks a decent model. The Bandit got a lot of screen time towards the end of the series, and generally speaking it’s a pretty interesting looking MS. I really wish they would make all of the major suits from Turn A, given how notable that series was.

7. RMS-009 Septem


Gunpla

Gundam X is one of the last Gundam series I’ve not finished watching, but that aside it’s easily apparent how underrepresented this series is in terms of Gunpla. The Septem’s look really hearkens back to the classic MS-09 Dom, but updated with the unique style from Gundam X.

6. Jahannam

Gunpla

While the Jahannam Space Type has two kits, the normal Jahannam has zero. The Jahannam and Jahannam Space Type look almost nothing alike too, so scratch or custom building one would be no easy task.

5. Recksnow


Gunpla
I'll be honest: the Recksnow is pretty dorky looking. On the other hand though, it doesn't really look like any other MS made before it, and it's exotic design fits perfectly into the Regild Century story line.


4. OZ-07AMS Aries


Gunpla

Gundam Wing was REALLY underrepresented in the Gunpla department. The Aries has a pair of costly resin kits that I know of, but no standard HG kit. There’s not even many toys of the Aries, the most notable one I can think of is the Robot Spirits figure.

3. Mazraster


Gunpla

I thought it was really strange the Mazraster didn’t get a kit when so many of the other G-IT Laboratory suits did. Kun Soon appeared a good bit in the final episodes too, so it was kind of a bummer it got left out.

2. JMA-0530 Wadom


Gunpla

The “Walking Dome” from Turn A Gundam. The Wadom was a gigantic Mobile Suit very similar to the Big Zam from Mobile Suit Gundam. This thing probably has one of the coolest designs from the entirety of Turn A Gundam. Simple, yet exotic in a way that makes it intimidating.

1. RMV-1 Guntank II


Gunpla

A classic MSV design that’s made small appearances in numerous Gundam titles, including Zeta Gundam! The Guntank II looks like more of a prototype to the original Guntank than a successor,  but that doesn’t make it any less cool. This is probably one of my favorite MSV designs and it just saddens me that it's never had a kit. Bandai! Read my list! Make a kit of this thing now!
