DX4 Pre-Production Pictures?
Faithful reader akum6n has pointed me to DX4 pre-production pictures posted to the Hong Kong-based ToysDaily Forum. The pictured figures are the Victory Gundam with base-fighter, the Strike Freedom Gundam from Gundam SEED Destiny, a Marasai with ballute, and a Zaku II with Samson trailer. There has been no official word on a figure lineup or release date for DX4, though the post claims March. I would think it rather soon for DX4... not that I'm complaining.

NEO 3 Final Lineup [Updated]
HobbyLink Japan has put up a pre-order page for Gundam Collection NEO 3, which will be released in early February. HLJ includes a finalized picture of the lineup, which reveals a sixteenth figure: Haman Karn's custom-painted AMX-003 Gaza C from the second Zeta Gundam compilation movie. The picture also confirms that the Gundam, Gouf, Leo and Gogg figures are posable, and that the Gundam and Gouf are meant to be posed with one another. The Zaku Marine, GM Cannon and both Gouf Flight Types are in Federation colors (as seen in Zeta Gundam), with the red-and-white Gouf being the MS-07H-4 variant. The rest of the lineup is as we previously reported.

The picture also indicates the "limited edition" figures for this volumn will be the battle-damaged Wing Gundam and Cima's Gelgoog Marine. I also think the Gouf posed with the Gundam at the top-right is getting its arms chopped off, but there's no text to that effect so maybe I'm imagining things.
