SRW Z HG Gunleon

 

 Another Big surprise for SRW series by Bandai! Thought they will plow on SRW OG series first before moving into other SRW titles considering the former still have more than plenty materials to be worked on. Thus Bandai pull of a combo breaker on their SRW Model kit in order to release Gunleon, One of the main protagonist mecha from SRW Z1! Scheduled for October 2024 release, HG Gunleon will be sold for 5500 Yen SRP.

 I think Bandai really did a superb job for SRW series model kit justifying them taking over this IP from Kotobukiya. I would say the quality for Gunleon is quite superb because it literally features practically all of the gimmick that this unit have including its upgraded form which pretty much turn Gunleon into literal Gaogaigar. Back then I only completed SRW Z1 in Setsuko route and never pushed on to complete Gunleon's but might as well revisit SRW Z if I have the opportunity to tie up the loose ends. To me SRW Z is a wasted potential because it could have been the Saint Seiya of Mecha series featuring 12 Zodiacs of Mechas as the protagonists. But at very least Z1 and Z2 did the job good enough making them still worth playing until this day. Hoping that Bandai will work on Virgola next because Setsuko, the sorrowful maiden do deserves the love
