Just saw pics of new Epyon Line Art with MG next to it. Should be popping up soon. Sorry for not posting pics, but they belong to someone else and I didn't want to steal.

I saw the scans as well. Definitely...different. I am not sure if I am excited, or disappointed at this point. Will have to reserve judgment until I see some clearer pics. Epyon is still one of my favorite designs, I was kinda hoping it would be the original, not a newly designed EW style kit.

Based on the sketch, I may still do my own version of the Epyon using the Wing Ka. and other random parts. Will have to wait and see though.

Ok, that kit has gone from a "more than likely going to get" to a "must have." Thanks for the news :)

Wait... Bandai has been including waterslides for the whole UCHG line so far. No big news that this would have them too, but they are always welcome.

AHHHH!!! I did not realize that. Oh well I was excited about it even if it's not news.

Like Matt, I didn't realize this either. Haven't really paid much attention to the UCHG line, as none of the kits before this one interested me at all. Depending on how I like this, I may end up picking up the Hovertruck, too.

They also include waterslides with all of the Macross Frontier kits too. :)

Waterslides in the Hovertruck set.

The Mega Size 1/48 Gundam & Zaku kits also include waterslide decals. But it's a very small sheet.

AmiAmi has colored shots of the kit up on its pre-order page:

Parts I like, parts not so much. I'm still torn...

Asmodeous · April 01, 2011, 07:15:11 PM

Looks alright. The head looks weird along with the thighs. The rest looks good.

FichtenFoo · April 01, 2011, 07:42:23 PM

Man... Epyon got fat. He's really let himself go since the 90's.

Mrex-sgundam · April 02, 2011, 05:09:46 AM

I like Katokis iteration of the Epyon. Would have liked broader shoulders at 45 degree angle, but I can live with this. Now, bring on the Tallgeese so I can squeal to the heavens.

Asmodeous · April 02, 2011, 09:28:12 AM

Now where is this epyon? http://media.photobucket.com/image/epyon+/Phophet/epyon.jpg

tetsujin · April 05, 2011, 07:21:40 AM

I think there's an error in the aspect ratio of the colored images of the Epyon. Look at the chest gem, for instance, it's wider than it is tall...

I did a little photo edit, "correcting" the aspect ratio of the colored image of the Epyon and comparing it with an earlier single-color prototype photo. It's on Hobbyfanatics:
My Epyon post

If somebody wants to pull the image and upload it somewhere else and repost it here, that's cool. I'm not going to bother. :)

If people are saying this version of Epyon is fat... then I'd have to say they forgot what the Epyon looks like. Huge Okawara barrel-chest, like the rest of the Winger Gundams...

Seems the next RG will be the Freedom!

I'm going to pass on this one. I will probably get the RG Strike though.
