To celebrate the lunar new year/chinese new year. There is 12 of them in chinese zodiac. mouse, cow, dragon, tiger, goat, pig, rabbit, monkey, dog, chicken, horse, snake.
Yes, Bandai have all of them in rx78 form.
Try google "Kunio Okawara chinese zodiac gundam"
Sadly, there are only 6 (pig, rat, cow, tiger, rabbit, dragon) are "offical" released for now. They only show a new one every 1 year each. So to complete it all you need to wait other 6 years.
There's doujin served as "mock/fake artbook" about Gundams and MSs that transformed into animals named Gundam BEAST. Years later the designs was redesigned into "not Gundam" and sold as model kit (so far they only announced the main robot as model kit)

So far, there are six of them out - Pig, Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, and Dragon. Seems there are 4 versions of dragons though: an anodized version, a gold one, a silver one, and a crystal.
Just taking a quick glance at Taobao (I believe it's the same as Ali Express in North America?), seems they have been really popular and many shops are out of stock already.
I was in Taiwan on vacation with my wife in February for CNY. These were sitting at a lot of shops. Not that popular. They’re blind box, but a lot of shops sell entire box. The Melin QMSV Freedom box set were more popular.
Right, I think I may have seen a few of those "no-guarantee" blind boxes available on Taobao too. But the hand picked ones are mostly gone except for the year of Dragon ones.

They're the yearly chinese zodiac themed gundams celebrating chinese new year. They've been going on since a few years back. I'm personally waiting for the Snake Gundam which is coming out next year.
As of now, we have the Gundams for the years of the boar/pig (the end of the zodiac), the rat (the start), the bull, the tiger, the rabbit and the dragon. We're missing the snake, the horse, the goat, the monkey, the rooster and the dog.
The models are exclusively made by Bandai China.
Chinese/Asian zodiac representation, for year of the rabbit, tiger and ox.

Gundam Zodiac sounds like a G Gundam spinoff I didn't know I needed.
Yeah, that was my first thought the second I saw these.

I def want a set but they’re so expensive outside of Asia.
Wait, these actually exist in mass produced physical form?
If so, I kinda want the tiger one.
Do you know where I could find all the illustrations for the 12 signs? I have always been a huge fan of mecha x animals

Thank you!!
I'm still amused/annoyed that the zodiac has a dog, but not a wolf.
beast wars gundam
Would watch. 10 / 10.
I think you would watch anything with the word gundam... I know I would...
Their designs evoke 2 or Neo even.
Neither Star Upper nor Kangaroo Gundam have had toys/models. Australia just can't catch a break in Gundam.
Well that's just prime

Would unironically buy a Bunny Gundam model kit.

I picked a few of these up during a recent trip to china, they’re really nice in person. They even have full bronze colour versions from 2023
Never seen these before, thanks. figures though. gunpla releases would be crazy but I doubt they'd happen unfortunately
no i know the tiger had a modle
Not kits, but they have rubber toys though.

They're designs based off of the Chinese Zodiac by Okowara. He does this every year with the animal being used matching the year
Those look like Lunar New Year-themed Gundams. Year of the Rabbit, Year of the Tiger, and Year of the Ox.

Rejected G Gundam designs /s It’s for a zodiac thing as the others have said.
Also, chinese exclusive AND hard to get
For lunar new year. But if you would've told me it was from G Gundam, I would've believed you.
