  1. Looks amazing! Especially for 2000 yen. But I don't think those missile pods/whatever on the shoulder will be a separate color. I hope they surprise us and make it a plastic piece, its certainly big enough.

    1. I think so, either that or the Jesta MG have parts to convert to Jesta Cannon MG due to its steep price. Now I wonder how much Jesta HGUC part will Jesta Cannon HGU retained?

    2. Probably a lot. If this is anything like the Stark Jegan it should just be armor slapped on the body. Though to be fair the stark jegan was better than I thought.

    3. Judging by the Jesta HGUC runner, I think the Beam Rifle and Shield of the Jesta will be omitted from teh runner of Jesta Cannon HGUC.

  4. "Now Printing." I've seen Japanese retailers use that ambiguous phrase for years. What do you suppose it means? I've always assumed it was some sort of Engrish transliteration meaning "image pending" or whatever. But clearly we have images and a prototype here in the same exhibit. To those more familiar with Japanese: do you understand what is being communicated here? What is the Japanese transliteration?

    Should I chalk it up to some hot-shot misusing English to make the product somehow more appealing?

    1. "Now printing" probably just means in production, coming soon or something along those lines. I'd say misuse of language goes ways since you still see websites write "hit the jump" even when its not appropriate.

    2. "Now Printing" is not a misuse of the english language or a poor translation. It just means that they are now printing off the plates for the kits (mass producing each plate for the model kit)
