Bandai revealed their next kit that will be coming from their perfect grade (PG) line at the All Japan Model and Hobby Show 2017 last Sept. 30.

A 1:60 scale of the Exia was unveiled in the event that brought modelers, builders, and collectors swarming in to the Bandai area. The release of the perfect grade kit was in line to celebrate the 10th year anniversary of the anime it came from, "Gundam OO."

The Exia, shown in its Seven Swords Form, will be released on December for ¥18,000 for the regular edition. This package includes the gundam's accessories as seen in the anime such as the GN Sword I, GN Shield, GN Long Blade, GN Short Blade, GN Beam Sabers, and GN Daggers.

Modelers had no gripes with the new gimmick on the shield, having it expand much like the Unicorn's. The silver chrome on the blades and the sword was to be expected from the line since it was the 1:144 Real Grade (RG) version's best selling point. Yet, on the subject of the GN Sword I, fans have noticed the blades appear to be too wide from what they saw in both the anime and the RG kit.

Like most gundam plastic model (gunpla) under the perfect grade line, PG Exia will have a full inner frame with mind-blowing details. The black skeletal frame looked impressive with the clear green parts of the GN Condensers.

However, hardcore kit builders have noticed one flaw in the upcoming gunplay. The leg proportions of the kit is obviously different from the previous ones that were released. Fans understand that this was all part of the LED lighting gimmick the PG line is known for. Still, this may trigger a deal breaker for some.

PG Exia is also part of the Gunpla Evolution Project by Bandai which means a premium model will also be available.
