Want to make a thread where all the Ka Signature stuff goes, since they spread across a few sub-line and past info were very scattered in a few different threads here.
Upcoming retooled Ka Signature Penelope, P-Bandai preorder coming up 4/28 4pm Japan time. Though some shops carry exclusives already started preorder a couple days ago. Wish I can wait on P-Bandai US to see if they have this. But even as popular as Metal Robot Damashii Zeta, P-Bandai US didn't carry it (though they had Ka Signature ZZ), so its a risk if you want Penelope but prefer to wait and see. Below is Anime-Export's listing:

Interestingly, the movie adopted Yasuhiro Moriki's Xi Gundam design, but used Katoki's Penelope, sort of one of each for the pair. I personally like Katoki's Xi Gundam look better, so I am glad I picked up his Ka Signature Xi a few years back (though still in the box). This new Ka Signature Penelope looks like it got some minor re-sculpt, and more integrated transformation than the one from 2015 without extra add-on parts. Though price also got bumped up a few thousand yen. This pair looked odd for me back then, especially the Penelope. But the movie hype and looking at them more now, I really start to dig their unconventional designs as they have a lot of cool details hidden under the relatively strange silhouettes.
