Master Grade Tallgeese II finished build log
Motivation strikes once again! I’ve noticed my favorite “II” mobile suits keep ending up as webshop exclusives, and I, in my infinite wisdom, have purchased all of them. The White Dingo GM Sniper II, the Tallgeese II, and I’ve already put the money down on the Crossbone Gundam X-2. Hopefully, spending lots of money on [...]
Tallegeese II Build log part 1
Once again, motivation hits me like a brick to the face. And that’s a good thing! Especially since in this case, I’m incredibly motivated by what I’m actually building, not by the fact that it isn’t something else. If that makes any sense. I’m a huge fan of the Tallgeese II, and have been ever [...]
Master Grade Dual Gundam Build Log Part 1
Sometimes, I can get extremely motivated when working on kits. Usually it happens when it’s something I’m really excited to build, like the Nu Gundam ver Ka MG. Others, it’s because of what it isn’t. You see, the past two projects (the G-Armor and the Sinanju) have both been incredibly draining, from the gigantic pieces, [...]
Master Grade G-Armor Build Log Finished
When I was younger, I had the combining Gundam/G-Fighter from the American action figure line. It was great fun, switching around the parts for all the different combinations. Sure, the figure quickly went obsolete when Bandai put the Gundam 2.0 figure out for that line, but hey, all that had was a Core Booster! Problem [...]
Master Grade G-Armor Build Log Part 2
Okay, okay, I’ll admit… I cheated a bit here. I built a Gundam 2.0 back in 2008 when it first came out. At that point, I didn’t have an RX-78-2 on my shelf, and I figured the 2.0 would be the perfect choice. Of course, I didn’t paint my larger kits back then, so it [...]
Upcoming Tamashii Nations Products for Spring 2013
It’s been even longer since I’ve taken a look at stuff from Tamashii Nations, so let’s take a peek at those… From this year’s Kamen Rider Wizard, both Kamen Rider Beast and Kamen Rider Wizard Flame Dragon are getting a nice pair of Figuarts. Each is slated to come with a selection of Tamashii Stages, [...]
Upcoming Gunpla for Spring 2013
Since it’s been awhile, let’s take a look at some upcoming Gunpla for the next coming months! Just released in Japan are the HGUC kits of the Banshee Norn and Shin Matsunaga’s High Mobility Type Zaku! As I’ve mentioned before, the Banshee Norn took me by surprise as a kit actually appearing in the OVA, [...]
Master Grade G-Armor Build Log Part 1
Okay, after having first previewed this kit several months ago, it’s time for finally get my butt in gear with the Real Type G-Armor! When the Gundam ver 2.0 was first announced back in 2008, some people wondered, “What’s the point? The One Year War version is good enough!” To some, yes, but not all. [...]
HG00 Tieren Space Type Review
Let’s take a little break from the Universal Century, shall we, and we’ll take a look at a series I sometimes forget: Gundam 00. When Gundam 00 first started, it had some of the most unique mechanical designs Gundam has had in years. Each faction had its own unique style and could be easily identified. [...]
Gundam Unicorn Episode 6
The latest episode of Gundam Unicorn made its digital download debut last weekend, with its blu-ray release coming within a few weeks. The episode was long awaited, with the last episode being released in May of last year, and with one more episode still to come. Naturally, I was pretty excited for the episode, dashing [...]
Master Grade Sinanju Version Ka Build Log-FINSHED
It’s done. I have conquered the beast. No, this thing wasn’t a beast. The Unicorn Gundam is a beast. The Sinanju is more like a full-blown demon. There are those kits that we fear. We know that when they’re completed, they’ll be a beautiful piece worthy of any collection. They tend to be the [...]
Master Grade Sinanju Version Katoki Buildlog part 1
I have never gone up against a more frustrating model kit in my entire life. Now, earlier I spoke of how the Version Katoki kits are essentially the gold standards of Master Grades these days, and that the Sinanju helped make that so. Well… it turned out I was half right. In terms of a [...]
Toy Fair 2013: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
Toy Fair has happen and me start this article by thanking whatever Hasbro employee is reading this site on the regular, or stalking me elsewhere, internet or in real life. The fruits of your research are something I’m willing to throw some serious cash at this year, and since my wife is out of town [...]
Toy Fair 2013 is going down, and we’re not there!
Happy Saturday everyone! Hopefully the snow didn’t mess up your weekend plans too bad, and if they did, I feel for you and can relate. I HAD MUSEUM PLANS TODAY DAMMIT! As the title implies, the 2013 Toy Fair is going down, and we’re not there because getting a press pass for the event is [...]
Master Grade Sinanji Version Kai Preview
I remember when this kit first came out. The Unicorn was awesome and cool and everyone was talking about it. A friend of mine mentioned the Sinanju and all I could say was, “what the hell is that?” I’m not sure if it was my ignorance of Master Grades at the time, but I had [...]
