Last week, we announced our slate for November 2017 new home video release titles—which has turned into one of our biggest months EVER for new releases and limited editions! Today we’re delving more in-depth to give you a thorough sneak peek at all the artwork and extras packed into some of these limited editions.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans
Announced at Anime Expo, Gundam IBO is Funimation’s first home video entry in the long-running and classic Gundam mecha franchise (many of you may have watched the dub on Toonami!), and we’re pulling out all the stops on this one. In addition to standard edition releases of Season One Part One and Season One Part Two, we’re also offering a combined limited edition of the complete Season One with the following inclusions:
- Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans Season One, Parts One and Two Blu-ray/DVD
- Exclusive “HG (High Grade) 1/144 Scale GUNDAM BARBATOS + SMOOTHBORE GUN [METALLIC GLOSS INJECTION]” Gunpla model kit. This is a specific metallic gloss version of this Gunpla model that is ONLY available in the Funimation release and is a limited run that will not be reprinted, so this is a rare item! It’s not even going to be available in Japan.
- Collector’s chipboard box with room for both Season One, Parts One and Two and the next releases of Season Two, Parts One and Two. This release is the ONLY way to get the collector’s box for the entire series!
- Art book, featuring illustrations from Japanese releases and specials
- Two of the extra boxes in the packaging that can double as diorama backdrops to display your finished Gunpla in front of—one with an industrial hatch design, the other with a space backdrop
- All housed in a larger box featuring Gundam Barbatos artwork
- Episodes 1-25 (the complete season one, parts one and two)
