We already get MG 1/100's, we get non-grade 1/100's for shows from time to time. Why bother with a new line at the scale? I've seen people say they think they'd be like 1/100 RG's which makes no damn sense to me since RG's are essentially just hyper realistic Master Grades at a 1/144 scale. So, da fuq?

Money grabs, pure money grabs. The two things that work best in my head are either a line of 1/100 scale RG or a 1/100 scale line along the lines of HGUC, hitting that ¥2500 sweet spot. I doubt that a line of 1/100 scale RG kits would make sense, especially given that MG kits already scratch that itch.

Edit:
Nightingale as first release with the mkIII and GP04 to follow? I'm sold no matter the concept
