A look at the 'Art of Gundam' box art

Within the past couple years Bandai has started releasing exclusive kits at various toy & model expos in Japan. They're typically slightly modifications of existing kits using special coatings or clear parts. Generally their boxes are just the standard box art with a bit modification or a logo for differentiation. This year's Art of Gundam expo releases featured several kits never released in a clear format with, what I believe to be, a stunning box design.

 

 

I've always been a fan of simple, clean, modern designs and these boxes nail it. The same pose, the white background with bold lettering, and a great photo that truly highlights the kit within. I was just going to get the Unicorn for my collection, but once I saw the box design, started gobbling them all up. The only one I likely won't have will be the MG Wing Zero which sold out quickly and has been going for over $200 on eBay.
