Dengeki Hobby Editorial Comments
#21–#30 include the GP series at 21, 24, and 26. The GP-00 at #21 is the lead suit of the “Gundam Secret Weapons” side story, and was scratch-built by Ryuji Sorayama. Later, a B-CLUB garage kit was produced. #24’s Dendrobium impressed both in concept and in raw physical size. #26 was produced in collaboration with Enterbrain’s “Mobile Suit Gundam Official Setting Collection Anaheim Journal U.C. 0083–0099”.
The Zephyr Aziel at #22 and Gundam AGE-2 Artemis at #29, both based off projects in our magazine, show off just how much we cover a fresh, never-before-seen side of Gundam.
