Hi Syd and Ryan, Do you guys know why Bandai will release waterslide decals with their other kits (e.g. the new macross kit and figurise – Tiger and Bunny MG’s) but not with the regular MG Gundams? If its not a Ver. Ka. then you have to get it from the exclusive online stores or after market sellers (dodgy). And will HLJ ever think about doing pre…[Read more]
they answered about limited kits before – gentei and gg order these as usual people do – over the web, which is not possible for HLJ. As for Figurise MGs – I have Wild TIger and it comes both, with foil stickers and decals.
What do you think the release of the MG Geara Doga means? Knowing Bandai it is most likely not a one off thing and Bandai will be introducing new Zeon suits. It could mean we will be getting a Geara Zulu in the future, along with all its variants. One thing that bothers me about the new Geara Doga is the crummy Marasai hands. All the feddie kits…[Read more]
I think that the release of the geara doga will see the Jegan come out ( I want it so badly) As for how to handle the hands issue (see what I did there? I’m smart) Yeah the hands were a step back, the marasai’s hands couldn’t hold the beam rifle well. but get it at the right angle and it works. I do think the Sazabi Ver ka will clearly include…[Read more]
Meh, poseable hands are overrated. The Nu ver. Ka hands are pretty cool, but by all accounts they’re kind of fragile (Syd even broke ’em on Gunpla TV) – and as fun as fully-poseable hands are, there is such a thing as having too many moving parts on a kit… It just makes things really fiddly.
Geara Doga is one of my all-time favorite designs so…[Read more]
Tetsujin is right. The hands are pretty cool, meaning they look great, but I found are really fragile and actually make you have to do quite a bit of careful work when you start posing/playing with the kit.
Since there is news about an MG Wing Gundam Proto Zero, I would like to see an updated Wing Gundam Zero Custom with an inner frame similar to the Master Grade EW kits.
Now I know why it is worn by the Red Frame with the cutting edge down and has the ashi (hanger) because its a tachi while katana is worn with the cutting edge up and does not have the ashi. I think Syd has done his homework. lol! Thanks @syd
Thanks for the explanation, @Syd! I know there are many classifications of Japanese swords… I just generally refer to them as katana (long) and tantō (short)… so thanks for the clarification. My collection of replica swords are mainly fantasy swords, medieval swords and movie swords… only one katana from anime Bleach. 😛 Must read up more…[Read more]
I’ve never touched a PG and probably never will. Nothing against them from a design stand point, Bandai did one hell of a job engineering them. But they are not very cost effective for me, plus most of the suits I like will never be made in PG. If I had to pick between the 2 I’d go with the GP01. But my personal favorite is the Gundam Mk. II…[Read more]
I really don’t know ….
Red frame for the colors, the frame and the awesome katana!
GP01 for the two versions/removal-moving parts, the cage and diorama feeling you can make with it.
Actually I like both.
Hi Syd and Ryan, I’m a long time viewer, and thanks to the show I got back into the hobby. Right now I’m working on the MG Tallgeese, my 7th kit since summer 2012. I wanted to ask if you guys could show some love for the HG and MG 08th MS Team kits on the show. I remember seeing the show on Toonami back in 2001 and being impressed by the mech…[Read more]

Hey syd and ryan and other gunpla tv fans, I was wondering do you listen to any music whilst building your kits if so what do you listen to ? Maybe we can get an ultimate gunpla building playlist going !
I usually put some Gunpla tv/boss builds/toy tengoku or even Rrobbert184 vids.
I also log into my deezer account or play music, KMFDM, Combichrist and Maximum the Hormone at this time. ^^
I watched it last saturday night and it was awsome! 😀 The mobile suits are defenitely bigger than a gundam! 🙂 @ryan and @philliptan you should watch it too. 😀
