The final upgrade to the Lancelot, known as the Lancelot Albion has been released! It comes with two guns, two swords, three pairs of hands, a lance, detachable slash harkens, and of course, those fantastic glowing green wings this version is known for.

Then, there's the Tristan (not shown here) which is less flashier than the Albion, but stays true to its transforming origins with its ability to convert into fighter mode. The Tristan is a timely release, conveniently coinciding with all the excitement of the Transformers 2 movie. Perfect for the Knightmare-Transformers hybrid fan.

Both models retail in Japan at $40US, and bigger, better images can be found here.

Two new knightmare frame data has been added for your browsing leisure. They include the Tristan (shown here) and the Shinkirou-both of which can be found on the website. These are the last 2 new data sheets I am adding, because although there are constant updates to existing Gawain and Lancelot models, there are few other new frames to admire. The only other one I shall regrettably miss is the frame of the Knight of One, which has appeared occasional enough for me to completely miss its name.

[Notes]

Back when R2 first started, I compiled "C.C.'s origin," an analysis on the power of the Geass and its origin. With new information from R2, I've completed the final product that fleshes out the clues and backstory involving C.C. and her power. New revelations in the CG universe was always followed by more hows and whys. For anyone who wants a comprehensive look at how the Geass tied into everything, please read my completed work. You might even re-watch CG to fish out all of those clues!

March and April are busy months for KMF toy releases. From a shape-shifting frame, to the Colonel's personal touch, there's something for every robot lover. Each of them carry a huge sword, which is kind of cute. The official CG site retails them for $36-39US, while I've seen online and store retailers push upwards of $70! Why the big difference, sellers?

Take me to the latest models! (last three on the chart)

[Collectible books]

I'm not sure whether to make this out to be a book or poster or cell-shade, but my limited Japanese informs me that it's the work of Code Geass' character designer. And that certainly gives this collectible a credible boost in the leg. Bandai's main CG site boasts that this art creation (depicting a superb image of C.C. and Emperor Lelouch) is made on a paper material that would last for 30 years under direct lighting. That's pretty impressive, and expensive, racking its value up to $200 US. This description and price leads me to believe that this is probably a piece (or a number of pieces) of cel-shaded art or mounted poster.
