Gunpla TV – HGUC Baund Doc
From Zeta Gundam, the Baund Doc joins the High Grade Universal Century line of kits! Probably one of the most unique-looking kits that Bandai has produced in some time, this kit is also quite large, standing at around 19cm tall when built. Unique colors and an interesting transformation mode also really set this kit apart. If you are looking for something a bit different, then definitely you’...
Gunpla TV – HGAC Gundam Heavyarms
The first standard-version Gundam Heavyarms kit in 20 years is here, from the hit series “Gundam Wing!” This is the first time Heavyarms’ original form — not a Custom or EW version — has gotten a kit all since the 1/144 scale no-grade kit released in 2000 (which was actually a repackage of a 1995 kit!). Loaded up with guns and missiles, the Heavyarms is Trowa Barton&#...
HGAC Gundam Heavyarms Unboxing
The HGAC Gundam Heavyarms is here, a kit 20 years in the making! I’m so excited for this one, personally, as I love Gundam Wing and am so happy to see its kits being updated and added into modern lines. The Heavyarms is a heavy-artillery mobile suit designed for long-range combat — but also has a trick up its sleeve for melee combat: a Gundanium Alloy knife! We also get gimmicks for se...

Gunpla TV – HGUC RX-78-2 Gundam
The HGUC RX-78-2 — another retro-review! This granddaddy HG was released back in November of 2001! Released as kit # 21 in the then-new HG Universal Century line, this bad boy was state of the art for his time with crisp parts molded in separate colors and packaged with a number of accessories. Just how does this old dog stand up to the current releases — and is it still worth buying n...

This time’s no different, but it’s a bit of a special one — it’s the first time she’s appeared as a Figure-rise Standard kit. (Not to be confused with Figure-rise Bust or Figure-rise LABO). This version of Fumina features her in her white and pink uniform with her yellow ja...
