Will We Ever See a Psycho Gundam Model Kit?
So, I was just scrolling through a forum, lost in the world of Gundam, when I stumbled upon a really interesting question. Someone asked if the
Psycho Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeta would ever be made into a model kit. I mean, how cool would that be, right? But then I read the responses and, well, it got me thinking. One user mentioned that while they’d love to see it, they had a gut feeling it probably wouldn’t happen. Can you imagine the price tag if it were to be made? They brought up some solid points about how the original Psycho Gundam is a beast in size, and just the sheer complexity of its features—like the opening hatches and the external armor that can literally peel away—would make it skyrocket past ¥10,000. I can already hear my wallet crying. I chuckled when I thought about all the model kits I’ve built over the years—some were intricate, some were a hot mess. There was this one time I was so focused on assembling a kit that I ended up spilling soda all over my work table. The mess was epic, but the laughter that followed made it one of those unforgettable moments. I think I spent more time cleaning up than actually building! The user also pointed out that the Psycho Gundam had a pretty short screen time, which makes you wonder why they crammed so many features into it. It’s like they wanted to make a statement, you know? “Look how cool this is, but good luck finding a kit!” Then there was talk about the new kits, like the Kikeroga and how it’s smaller than the original Brau-Bro. It made me reminisce about all the times I debated whether to buy a bigger model or settle for a smaller one. I mean, I love the intricate detail, but my shelf space is crying for help. And then there’s the issue of pricing. The user speculated that the upcoming models might be more reasonable, which got me thinking about the last model I splurged on. I remember standing in the store, snacks in hand, debating whether to choose the more expensive model or save a few bucks. Spoiler alert: I went for the splurge, and now I’m hiding it from my partner! So, what do you think? Do you have any experiences with Gundam model kits, or maybe a favorite that you think deserves to be made? I’d love to hear your stories or tips in the comments below!
