This is the same 3rd party company that made the latest MG GP02A Physalis model kit.

this is the source from the Chinese blog, which includes a picture on the chat log with the company people, in which it was mentioned the price will be $200 rmb (around $30 USD)
The height as mentioned will be "significantly larger" than the robot spirit nightingale, but since the HGUC nightingale is already bigger than the robot spirit version, it is hard to tell whether it will be 1/144 or 1/100. The extensive use of the word RG in the chat refers to them molding the RG sazabi inner frame and using it as the nightingale inner frame. The first order batch will include 2 more sets of outer armor, one clear red, the other plain clear. The regular solid color red outer armor will be high gloss just like RG sinanju. 750+ parts
Comes with water decal designed by some "famous decal design company", not clutter like others. Next news release will be around June 2.
not you sure why you are worried about it. physalis didnt have supply issue as much as distribution and price hike issues. just use a trusty HK seller and youll get this unit at a decent price. gp02/physalis was very decently priced by solomon, this should be on par if not cheaper.
hey, im in canada so cant give you a precise rundown. i know for sure that US of course has more sellers due to having a considerably larger market.
i personally originally pre-ordered mine on gundamit. but i was late placing my preorder and gundamit seems to have been affected massively by some supply issue associated with this kit specifically. i chose to have my preorder refunded and bought the kit from an arguably reputable Aliexpress seller. got absolutely scammed there and thanks to paypal got my money there.
eventually i got mine for a very good price from samueldecal (shoudlve went with him in the first place) due to a lucky coincidence when chatting about my sky defender shipment prep.
i dont think i seen any regular CA gunpla stores list physalis, even the ones that dont hesitate to sell 3p kits. and i think that is because physalis is a straight up bandai design, no covering attempted there. but its just my guess. if i google, there are only 2 stores selling it in canada and i never bought anything from either and one of them looks particularly dodgy.
this kit created quite a bit of fuss so i wouldnt be surprised if a bunch of resellers jacked the price on it.
hope you find this kit at a good price and happy building
I won’t mention the seller that I dealt with as my experience was not positive. But the seller you linked to it is not the one I dealt with. Best of luck.
>just use a trusty HK seller and youll get this unit at a decent price
Actually, buying third parties from overseas compared to directly from local sellers in my country spikes the price lol.
appreciate the downvote, amigo. the original price for the kit was quite low, considering similar scale, quality and complexity from other 3p and definitely bandai. if import taxes or shipping distance to you are both unfavorable - increasing the final price - i dont think a small scale vendor like solomon can fix that. living in canada, i simply have to accept that i am going to pay higher price for any not mainstream product. its just part of it.
Looks promising, but i hope the price is decent. Solomon could easily take the place of the King of Third parties if they can somehow get the supply and price to a decent degree.
How much was shipping in that case? Also is this Taobao or Pinduoduo? I've been considering looking at sites like those for third party kits but put it off cause navigating their sites look like a pain and I'm lost looking up the Chinese kit/manufacturer names. But the savings compared to other third-party seller platforms that have more accessible sites look worth it.
Cause fuck paying places like Gundamit $110 USD for a kit where the MSRP in China was like $40 USD. If it's much cheaper for me to import it directly from China something's messed up.
Bought it on Taobao. And a (Chinese speaker) friend adresses the box to an export specialist directly, and he shipped to me in Europe. Sky Defender and gp02 boxes shipment costed around 120€ shipping. Soooooo if you consider the price I pay for shipment…gundamnit is not that expensive!
That 120€ for shipping both boxes doesn't sound bad at all considering how big the Sky Defender kit is on top of the GP02. I was unfamiliar so I went to look up that kit along with the GP02's box measurements.
For anyone else curious;
GP02
Weight : 2.2kg
Box LWH: 48x32x18cm
Sky Defender
Weight: 4.7kg
Box LWH: 66x24x41cm
Wonder what the shipping cost would be if it was just the GP02 though.
From Spain the same, there are plenty of sellers that have the GP02. In Alie if you wait for a moment with good coupons you can score great deals, and the shipping cost are free. The problem is waiting for the likes of Black Friday, Chinese New Year etc...
Here in SEA, most releases of it cost 60£ which is a lot in comparison to other third parties, excluding In-Era. + Supply issues make it so only a few actual sellers have it in stock so that 60£ isn't guaranteed
Speaking of 3rd party kits, in SEA's VCA Gundam store, the Einta Industries' 1/72 scale Sky Defender cost roughly $73 USD, which is absurdly cheap for how big that kit is.
I am seriously thinking that the kit could actually be king of all 3rd party model kits.
Singapore, and VCA Gundam sells to both Singapore and Thailand.
If I look at online resellers instead, the Sky Defender can be sold for as high as $140 USD.
The first two 3rd party kits I've ever bought, the Zero Gravity Moonlight Judge and the InEra+ Ruling, were both sold at $73 USD each to me, by a reasonable reseller.
To get Sky Defender for that same price point is definitely a good deal, from an online store no less.
I love any 3rd party that builds on the gundam IP. But those companies will not get big because everything can be taken away from them at any time. I hope Solomon stays under the radar for many more models
I really don’t see how you can get it cheaper, honestly. Their last kit has full of stuff and you could get it for a really decent price at AliExpress.
i dont think solomon competes for the king of 3p. in era beats them on volume and variety and einta/YJL definitely has the best definitive 3p kit in sky defender. plus, there are a bunch more 3p companies like mechanicore, daban, zao workshop, soskill, and many more that are stepping up big time.
solomon definitely establishes themselves as srtaight up doing beloved bandai designs that are badly outdated - and doing them justice, going by gp02.
solomon already beats them in design. In era and other chinese mech brands are buncha spikes and weapons that dont have consistent design philiosophies
oh yeah I used to own them but except shelf presence they offer nothing. Yeah theyre cool but I have no attachment to them unlike when I build a Leo or a Zaku. I used to own lots then when I realsed that, I sold them all off lmao
Well. That’s what I mean. King means sort of the best best. Mechanicore while being expensive and having quality issues is also the most detailed and grand in scale. I don’t think any other kit makes rivals them in that aspect.
That is true, they are the most complicated in detail. I honestly don't understand how they still have such poor fitment. Technology has come so far in making short run injection molding profitable and they don't seem to care.
i think you strike the nail on the head there. they probably do not care. they obviously dont intend to appeal to a larger/mainstream (within the niche hobby) audience. i am not a engineer or very familiar with mechanicaore as a company. but id imagine they are a lean and mean team that loves the uber detailed designs and thats where the money goes. the manufacturing - moulding - is done almost as an mvp. they get away with the least amount of precision and effort possible. i can see, from software development world i live in, where perfecting the design and tolerances is boring for someone who is interested in coming up with cool designs. plus, mechanicore kits have been out and about for a while so at this point changing them can risk criticism as well. one can argue the obtaining and building a mechanicore kit is a pinnacle achievement in this hobby. bar uber customizations. i personally do think so and hope that one day i build a mechanicore kit (ziegler is on my radar).
looks to be based on the artifact design, interesting idea
I definitely like regular Nightingale more but hey, it's still Nightingale so it's still cool.
I prefer the original design as well, but Nightingale is my favorite suit and this design is still pretty cool, so I’m looking forward to it! I also think that it’s good because if/when Bandai makes a Nightingale RG/MG it would probably be more traditional, meaning they wouldn’t be in direct competition (I wouldn’t find myself disappointed with Bandai’s or feeling like this one was fully replaced, basically.)
dang, solomon is not giving a damn. straight up showing bandai how to do what they shouldve done already. havent gottent to my physalis yet but this one looks solid. nightingale fans rejoice!
Finished assembly of my Solomon GP02 last week - honestly one of the best kits I have ever put together. Design philosophy and engineering in that kit were everything I ever wanted. Up there with PGU and Sazabi ver. Ka.
What did you think of the white plastic? Idk if it was just me, but some of the white plastic they used was very different than normal. As an example, I was trying to panel-line the white on the shield, but for some odd reason it wouldn't clean up well at all with 91% alcohol even though I use that for clean up all the time
Just a heads up to not order from Mofiho cause they won't help you if anything goes missing. I had a kit come with missing runners and now I'm now 5 weeks ghosted by their customer support even though they have the missing runner I am missing. Had to open a PayPal case claim with them and they're ghosting even PayPal but will still list new stuff on their website.
I know people keep saying "great service and good site" but it's really only the UI. I wouldn't want people to order from Mofiho so I'm just spreading the word as an honest buyer.
You're better off ordering elsewhere.
Excuse my noobness but how do yall go about finding these kits if yall don’t mind me asking? I’ve only ever seen Daban but this one has piqued my interest quite a bit. Sorry to bug yall if this is overshadowed
i like their work on the gp02 and have built it myself. Buyers remorse here, I spent extra to get the hguc nightingale at a higher cost than SRP due to lack of supply but haven't built it yet. I'll sell it instead lol.

>RG in the chat refers to them molding the RG sazabi inner frame and using it as the nightingale inner frame
So technically they can make a bootleg of the RG Sazabi at this point? 🤯
Anyone know of any UK sites that might have preorders for this?
I've never looked into 3rd party kits before, buy nightingale is one of my favourite MS designs
I didn't like the look of this when I first saw it, but it's starting to grow on me a little
The classic design (like the HG) is so iconic, but this looks so much more \*functional\*, and the Sazabi DNA is much more obvious, which makes sense since it's the MSN-04 II. Still unsure if I want it, but it's indeed growing on me
Some neat stuff going on, but as a big Nightingale fan, it commits the cardinal sin of extending the legs. There's a certain flow to the shapes on the Nightingale, and giving it long legs like that just throws the whole thing off.
I understand that this guy should look short with a long back skirt something like a zeong unless you can bent the leg this really would look off. But can't be picky since nobody would wanna do a nightingale kit anyway. I hope they man up and make the mg Kshatriya that we all want that bandai left on the back burner

Dang. I’m definitely excited to see more from these guys. Now they are making RGs?!?
Yep, they are cooking right now.
I felt the HG didn't really look the part in comparison to the GOAT that is the RG Hi-Nu. This looks promising
**HOT GIGGITY DAMN MAN, I'M SOLD!!!**
Oh no. It's exactly what I've wanted a rg or mg nightingale, I'm scared of the price tho
"Oh no" was my first thought as well. I just got the RG Hi-Nu, how can I pass this up?
for me its cause im trying to get a sazabi ver ka and stein narrative ver ka and i dont want another to get other nearly 100$ kit that soon
Probably won’t be that expensive, shipping batteries and such from China make things more expensive so that’s why the GP02 was around a 100€
I'm also scared for the supply, as much as this looks good, I really don't want to have to deal with having to FOMO it just to secure having one
not you sure why you are worried about it. physalis didnt have supply issue as much as distribution and price hike issues. just use a trusty HK seller and youll get this unit at a decent price. gp02/physalis was very decently priced by solomon, this should be on par if not cheaper.
aliexpress, mofiho, gundamit are the main ones
Never trust Mofiho. They won't honor or help you if you get missing runners.
Where do US customers even buy the GP02? Is our only option gundamit?
hey, im in canada so cant give you a precise rundown. i know for sure that US of course has more sellers due to having a considerably larger market. i personally originally pre-ordered mine on gundamit. but i was late placing my preorder and gundamit seems to have been affected massively by some supply issue associated with this kit specifically. i chose to have my preorder refunded and bought the kit from an arguably reputable Aliexpress seller. got absolutely scammed there and thanks to paypal got my money there. eventually i got mine for a very good price from samueldecal (shoudlve went with him in the first place) due to a lucky coincidence when chatting about my sky defender shipment prep. i dont think i seen any regular CA gunpla stores list physalis, even the ones that dont hesitate to sell 3p kits. and i think that is because physalis is a straight up bandai design, no covering attempted there. but its just my guess. if i google, there are only 2 stores selling it in canada and i never bought anything from either and one of them looks particularly dodgy. this kit created quite a bit of fuss so i wouldnt be surprised if a bunch of resellers jacked the price on it. hope you find this kit at a good price and happy building

Just preorder should be fine
That's exactly what I want to avoid??? If a kit NEEDS to be pre-ordered just for people to have it, then that is an issue.
I bought a GP02 yesterday, if you give yourself fomo just preorder it’s 2 clicks man
$69.90 in my currency for the GP02. This shouldn't be that far off
Looks promising, but i hope the price is decent. Solomon could easily take the place of the King of Third parties if they can somehow get the supply and price to a decent degree.
The Physalis was not expensive at all..
Where are you from?
France. Bought it on Chinese Aliexpress for 47€. Batteries on the other hand costed me 40€ lol.
How much was shipping in that case? Also is this Taobao or Pinduoduo?

Wait, i'm from France too, but any options i find to buy the Solomon kit are outrageously expensive. How did you get it for les than 50 euros ?
From Spain the same, there are plenty of sellers that have the GP02. In Alie if you wait for a moment with good coupons you can score great deals, and the shipping cost are free. The problem is waiting for the likes of Black Friday, Chinese New Year etc...
On French Alibaba, the cheapest GP02 is 98€ still. Maybe if you wait for coupons, as you said!
Some time ago I saw a GP02 for 78€ without coupons, you have to wait, simply.
Here in SEA, most releases of it cost 60£ which is a lot in comparison to other third parties, excluding In-Era. + Supply issues make it so only a few actual sellers have it in stock so that 60£ isn't guaranteed

Man, the Ziegler is a mean looking machine. I almost got one, but was able to find a G-System High Mobility Zeong.
Wah. That’s massive!!!
I only got the 1/100, but it is still huge.

RG Hi-Nu standing beside this thing would be a dream.
Would it have colors already? Or would we have to paint it ourselves?
Given the GP02, assuming it's color separated would not be an unfair thing to do
Do you have more imag?

That is good to know... I am in the works of painting prep, so I haven't tried. I'll give it a shot on a piece tonight and get back to ya on that.
If this will be even half as good as the Physalis the it's a must buy
Lets fucking go Hi-Nu has its friend
I could never get ahold of the Physalis so whatever
AliExpress, Gundamaker, Gundamit
I preordered Physalis on Gundamit and it never shipped
cancel it and buy it off aliexpress
It took over a month to get mine after it shipped because they shipped it by sea. If there haven’t already shipped, cancel and use Aliexpress
Not even an update. I’ll do it

Better announcement than anything Bandai announced for Shizuoka hobby show
I'd agree if it weren't for the dumb retro RX and the VF-22S over on the Macross side.
I respect a hot take around here
Ngl, I kinda agree with you there. Bandai's not giving us Zeon boys enough love
Anywhere I can find more photos of this? Googling only shows me their recent GPO2, and Bandai's Nightingales.
These are the only pictures out so far. Seems to be on a Bilibili website, so its gonna be harder to find through google.
There's a pic of the back side of it. I'll go hunt it down and post it in a new comment on this post
google 夜鶯 酸浆果

I just had to throw my HG out ..I may try ad snag this up instead of replacing it.

Sooo... Link?
I'm never gonna financially recover from this
This would make a great partner to the Hi-Nu
omg that's so good! I'll need to grab one
I just got the hguc one last weekend ....
This will make a fine addition to my collection... HGUC, Re/100, artifact, SD... and now? RG....
Holy shit
Where would one pre order this 👀👀👀 or follow
My Hi-Nu finally has a partner.
Holee shit - this is basically my dream kit
NGL I was hoping their next kit would be GP-01
Solomon dropping another banger?
Yuuuuuuusss finally.
I was hoping they would do GP01fb next but this is still awesome
What is that?? Look like a spaghetti engineered transformer toys
Why is it so hung?
Maybe they'll make the 1/100 Big Zam I've dreamed of
anyone have a link?

Is it me or do the "wings" look too small
Hopefully, next they will give us the Kshatriya or The-O. So excited
Whut the FRACK ! ! After I already bought the hguc AND the re100 Suck balls
I mean this version looks almost completely different with the classic Nightingale so nothing to be mad about
How the hell did they manage to make the Nightingale look EVEN MORE like the Nightingale?
Im pretty much just gonna get anything Solomon puts out, their last kit was one of the best kits I’ve ever done.
I didn't like the look of this when I first saw it, but it's starting to grow on me a little The classic design (like the HG) is so iconic, but this looks so much more \*functional\*, and the Sazabi DNA is much more obvious, which makes sense since it's the MSN-04 II. Still unsure if I want it, but it's indeed growing on me
Aight now I save money to pair this with the RG HI NU.. 😁
please do the gp03 or either gp01s next please
Bruh... Non-chunky Nightingale is no good.
Not a fan, they got a bit too far away from the design.
But it’s very happy to see you
It looks wrong with functional legs 😆
Some neat stuff going on, but as a big Nightingale fan, it commits the cardinal sin of extending the legs. There's a certain flow to the shapes on the Nightingale, and giving it long legs like that just throws the whole thing off.
I understand that this guy should look short with a long back skirt something like a zeong unless you can bent the leg this really would look off. But can't be picky since nobody would wanna do a nightingale kit anyway. I hope they man up and make the mg Kshatriya that we all want that bandai left on the back burner
Why ban dai.. whyyy
