Another month, another Bandai plastic model roundup for April 2014. For Gunpla, the trend is slowly moving away from the recently concluded Gundam Build Fighters (GBF), although  we will still see support for a couple of months at least. We are also getting releases from Gundam Unicorn, Turn A Gundam and a new RG kit! For other Bandai plastic models, we are getting a new Hyper Function LBX kit and a new line and kit from the Nobunaga the Fool series.

So there’s that for April, lots of great stuff coming up this month. While GBF may have already ended, the kits continue to be released! Â I do like the Crossbone Maoh so its definitely in my to get list! I’m really glad the White Doll is finally getting a proper HG kit so that’s in my radar as well. Also, Gundam Exia is getting released as a RG and I really like the development that goes into these RG kits so I’m definitely itching to get that too.
Which of these are you guys aiming to get this month?
