the Dengeki series. Although the 1/60 F-91 and the Gundam HCMs are included

of Perfect Gundam)
- Limited edition gold-plated 100 Shiki kits
- Zeta Gundam release of MSV kits
- Prototypes of the rejected designs of the ZZ and F-90M
- Musha Gundam kits
- 1/144 System Injection Full Color Models of OYW designs
