I honestly thought HGUC Barzam existed, so I didn't pay much attention to its box. Looking back at it, I noticed that its HGUC number in Try is 154 (same as its MS model number). In the real world, HGUC #154 has already been released, and it's the Banshee Norn (Unicorn Mode).
Another thing I noticed about the boxes (one of the first things I noticed, actually), is that, while the Beargguy II box
looks like a HGUC, the box only lists it as an "HG", and doesn't include the "Universal Century" designation. It also lacks quite a bit of detail compared to the standard HGUC aesthetics, and actually looks quite plain, owing to the fact that the art was modified from the real HGBF Beargguy III kit, and the HGBF line is tied to the series. The Barzam and Zakrello, however,
were given the "HGUC" label, so it's entirely possible and plausible that the Beargguy II is from a line completely separate from the HGUC line. That does make a lot more sense than if it were marked as an HGUC, since the Beargguy just isn't a design that you would expect to see in a Universal Century story. Also, I just noticed on the Beargguy II's box that the animators didn't erase the fine printed text at the bottom, and actually modified it to say it was released in 2014, whereas the Beargguy III was released at the end of 2013, and the box listed it as such.
Given the new things I've noticed, I'm content now to just dismiss all of it as rubbish, and completely ignore it from now on. That is unless the BD "corrects" it later.
For reference:

Didn't we just discuss this?
). When we see it, it's already complete and customized. So it make some sense that China actually brough the Bearguy II (not Acguy or Bearguy), then customize it, call it Bearguy-san (which coincidentally can be written as Bearguy III). I really see no problem.
