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. 😀
Hey Syd and Ryan, Ive noticed that HLJ has almost nothing in stock at the website, Im very loyal when it comes to getting gunpla I only order from you because of your awesome pricing and Im never disapointed with servise
This could be my facepalm caption, just happened to me.
Just ordered PWH shipment, an hour later a payment request e mail came for the item that I’ve been waiting for. Ouch.
I have e mailed HLJ but still waiting for response. Maybe I just send it separately.
Their FAQ mentioned that it’s not possible to change once it reached processing for shipment stage.
Definitely the PG Red Frame… I love it and like @Syd, I love swords and love the katana Gerbera Straight!
It’s not a katana, it’s a tachi. 😉

Tanto refer more to knives though some can be pretty big. Wakizashi is the term used for the shorter of the two swords generally worn by Samurai.
