What This Lineup Means for Builders & Collectors

1. For GQuuuuuuX fans: the release of White Gundam and Char’s Zaku (GQ) is a major moment — a chance to own the anime’s iconic suits in plastic form.
   
2. For Gundam history buffs / Wing enthusiasts: Gundam Griepe gives a fresh modern model from the classic Wing lineage — complete with transformation, which is always a plus for display and diorama creativity.
   
3. For niche collectors: Gundam 7th – though from a less famous series — stands out with detailed engineering and a “rare-unit” appeal.
   
4. For builders (both beginners & veterans): The HG 1/144 scale across all kits offers a familiar, manageable build — good articulation, detail, and accessories without going into more expensive or complex grades (like MG or PG).
