I find it odd that when GAtoh didn't give us info on S5 he just told us to buy more Gunpla. But at that point in time, more Gunpla just referred to the unreleased Laevatein, colour variations of Savages and these two new Bandai colour variants.
So they are testing the waters with colour variants first to see if there is any interest beyond the heroes?
Maybe they did realise that that FMP is a Gunpla cash cow for the <3000 yen price point and are cheaper to design than RGs. Hopefully Sunrise will pick up S5.
Though, I think only 3rd Gen ASes have a chance of making good Gunpla. I am still hoping for a Dark Bushnell though. Maybe they will also do some FMP Another M9 variants as p-bandai.
It really is odd seeing colour variants for non-Gundam kits being retail. Yamato had the Dessler secret service guard as p-bandai. But the recolours of the bestseller Earth Dreadnaughts are regular and do take some screentime.
