What a great alternative to Haro, he’s now got some competition, haha! Cute and hope to see more variations being released!
-
looks great with figma
-
cute design with the right size
-
Not very into this, but they could be good as “filler” in some displays.
-
Mix and match some armor parts between these to get some interesting combinations.

In today’s episode, Todd takes a look at the first two stages of the PG Unleashed RX-78-2! We get to see the gorgeous details of the interior and also some of the mechanics.
Todd covers some of the PE parts, […]
-
Such fine details and the molding looks amazing, super flexible too by the looks of it! I like that it doesn’t require screws, great work! Looking forward to the next video!
-
dang that durability looks nice
-
lovely heavy detail of the inner frame
-
I mean, I suppose you’d apply those stickers on the head if you want the colours to be more vibrant without using the lighting gimmick. I actually prefer that.
-
Yeah, caught me off guard when the manual called for applying a couple of decals on the inner frame.

Isn’t it wild? It feels like so many of the things from early 2020 were actually much longer ago… Anyway, happy new year!

The good thing is that it’s not usually a requirement in workplaces, just a nice bonus to the office if you choose to do it!

This kind of omiyage are a liiiiittle different than Christmas gifts — they’re usually for coworkers or folks that you may not be quite as close to, and they can be exchanged many times throughout the year! The gift-giving season we mention in this video is Oseibo, but there’s another in the summer just the same that’s called Ochuugen! And,…[Read more]

Anna wrote a new post, Japanese Gift-Giving Culture: Omiyage 2 weeks ago
Today, we’re taking a look at gift-giving in Japan! You may be familiar with the concept of “omiyage” (souvenirs), where small gifts, often snacks, are exchanged in Japan on different occasions. But have you […]
-
What a great educational video! I knew of the practice in Japan, but this is the first time I’ve heard it having an actual name, great thing to learn at the start of the new year! 😀
-
First of all, I hope you guys at HLJ had a great (and safe) Xmas as well as New Year’s Day!
Todd totally was transported to another dimension when he ate that strawberry egg thing. 🤣 I suppose this tradition is more akin to the practice of gift exchanging with loved ones during Xmas these days? But in this case, I presume this is more of a work-related gesture/tradition kind of a thing? Regardless, this is a great way to end the year and show gratitude among employees and co-workers to help boost morale and a sense of unity.-

The gift-giving season we mention in this video is Oseibo, but there’s another in the summer just the same that’s called Ochuugen! And, anytime someone goes on vacation, it’s customary (but not required!) to bring a box or two back for the office 🙂 Always nice to have snacks!

liked the messer in the HG section
-
just think what a new zaku pg can turn out
-
Happy new year! For another one of spending too much money in Gunpla!
-
So much Gunpla goodness this year despite the roller coaster that the world has gone through! Definitely worthy winners in each category, if only I was rich enough and had the space for them all, hehe! XD

There has been a lot of impressive SD kits in 2020. I’m waiting for an SDCS 00 series.
I’m not surprised that the PG Unleashed RX-78-2 Gundam was the winner.
The RG ZGMF-X56S/α Force Impulse Gundam is a great kit from what I hear. There’s already a P-Bandai for the RG ZGMF-X56S/β Sword Impulse Gundam and I presume one for ZGMF-X56S/γ Blast Impulse Gundam will be coming soon. For me, I’m holding off for an MG 2.0 of ZGMF-X56S/α Force Impulse Gundam, ZGMF-X56S/β Sword Impulse Gundam, and ZGMF-X56S/γ Blast Impulse Gundam.
MG GN-003 Gundam Kyrios is a no brainer considering how much people wanted. MG XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero EW “Ver.Ka” … Definitely a great kit.
A great choice for the overall winners…
MGEX RX-0 Unicorn Gundam “Ver.Ka”
MG XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero EW “Ver.Ka”
PG Unleashed RX-78-2 GundamI look forward to see what new kits Bandai releases in 2021. I hear a lot of kits that were supposed to release in 2020 got delayed.
My personal best kits would be (not in any order but in general):
MG XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero EW “Ver.Ka”
MG XXXG-01D Gundam Deathscythe EW (Roussette Unit)
MG XXXG-01SR Gundam Sandrock EW (Armadillo Unit) -
I would have picked the HGBD Jupitive, MG Dynames, and SDCS Valkylander — all great kits with high accessibility because they’re standard, fairly low-priced releases.
-
That 3rd Place SD kit.
I gotta get me that.That and the new MG Wing. =/

Hope they get more Cores in soon. New colours and reissues. Good to see the leg lamp and the runner tree again!
Merry Christmas to all fans of and staff at HLJ. And for sure, a wish for a happy new year to us all.

“Interesting year”, that pretty much sums up 2020 haha! Looking forward to 2021, here’s hoping it’ll be “interesting”, but in a better way! XD

Really good for such a cheap kit! Wish this was around when I first started, haha! Great for a last minute Christmas stocking filler? 🙂
-
This is cheaper than going to the cinema lol.
-
It really is super impressive what they’ve achieved for such a small price yet with such great articulation and colour seperation.
-
RX-78F00 Gundam and G-Dock looks good for tourist gift

can’t wait for a zaku version

Seeing that crotch V-fin on this one, makes me think that they need to improve on their HG game.

Thanks so much for doing this! Best video I’ve seen of this so far, really appreciate you showing us so much of it, especially since a lot of us won’t be able to see it in person. Great views and a great e-experience! I’ll be happy to settle for Odaiba’s Unicorn Gundam when we’re eventually allowed to come visit!

Thanks for sharing this guys, but Todd, get a tighter mask so it stops slipping. And maybe get a few hundred more of those Haro Popcorn holders for resale…? Maybe…?

cute Haro Popcorn

end the one year war of covid

I bet Todd cannot wait to build this one.

Still find it strange that Japan got the mass release of the Sangoku Soketsuden series after the rest of the world. Even stranger that for me at least it was still tricky to track down the kits here in the UK. =/
Some cute little Gundam kits, I love Three Kingdoms, so this range is right up my alley! Wonder Woman looks good, really considering picking her up!
Lots of SD
wonder frame girl
wish the WISM had enough parts to built 2
That Wonder Woman looks really cool. I just wish the shield was a bit bigger.
