That said, if they wanted to go all-in with the various upgrades, it'd print money IMO.

Bandai seems to be milking the barbatos for all it's worth right now. If nothing else I can see them releasing a no grade 1/60th grade with the same inner frame simular to a megasize

They are doing that Hi-Res model of it. It's not exactly a PG, but it's a similar price point.

That's a bit closer to a metal build though.

True, but it shows they have enough confidence in it's sales to make such an expensive kit.

You know it's neat they're doing different things with IBO, but man I really do hope they do MG Barbatos later in the future.

Well the 1/100 no grade still uses the same inner frame as the high grade. I heard they aren't doing MGs cause the 1/100s are close enough already.

I'm pretty sure if a series does well enough, a Master Grade of the main MS is on the way at some point.

Also, remember that Unicorn TV broadcast rumor I mentioned? Turns out it's true.

It'll get new openings and endings, alongside new animation and Suichi Ikeda as Full Frontal narrating the "NEXT TIME ON..." parts. There's also a confirmation that this will run for 2 cours. But whether or not it will run for a full 26 remains to be seen.

I already told you guys about the way my math worked out, but if this gets a full 26, expect a lot of new stuff. But I wouldn't expect new MSes per say, as there's yet to be any gunpla tie-in.

I personally didn't believe they wouldn't add that much, but then a guy on twitter named Tom Aznable pointed out to me that 26 episodes is plenty of time for extra subplots/extra stops. Which would suck for people who bought the OVAs as they bought like half the show compared to this airing but hey! Whatever...

I better catch up on my UC shows now.

Wait, Sunday, 7 AM, TV Asahi...isn't that channel and timeslot right before Superhero Time? That timeslot seems odd to me. At least for Unicorn.

Yeah, I would have thought that Re:0096 would have taken IBO's timeslot as April is around the time the show will end.

My question regarding this rebroadcast is that was this part of the Original Unicorn plan? That they realized the show was super expensive to make, so they would add more in a tv rebroadcast.

Or maybe they bit off more then they could chew with how much story/ the cost of Unicorn. Remember, Unicorn episodes used to come out every 6 months, until a certain point, when it was a year between episodes. And the existence of adding episode 7 shows me they clearly had some issues regarding that.
