Spent the weekend on the other side of the country to attend Souther California Gundam Model Competition. Heading home now. It was a lot of fun, I highly recommend going to next year’s competition if you have the means. View
Yeah, I had an order that shipped on April 3rd, just about two weeks after they mentioned the HG parts promotion on the show, and no HG parts. At this point, the HG parts promotion is over, so unless it restarts, it’s done.
I don’t really mind that I didn’t get the parts – I would’ve liked to get some, and I was curious about what’s in the sets……[Read more]
Yeah, it was all a bit painful. The not-quite-fighter-mode at the start of the video, the not-fully-transformed arms, and the Gerwalk pose without the legs swung far enough forward… And yes, the landing gear! […]
Yeah, the “Y” just means “prototype”. (“X” is “experimental” and Y comes after X, so…) So it’s a prototype of the VF-19. VF-19A looks just like the prototype. The Macross 7 ones are a bit different.
I know others are bound to feel differently about this, but personally… I just think the “articulation check” is just a real waste of time in any video.
Pretty sure Build Booster is compatible with RG Strike – instead of having just a round peg to plug into the Strike, the connecting piece can flip around to give you either the tab-style connector of the RG or the […]
It’s called “Nobel Gundam”, named after Alfred Nobel, the Swedish scientist who invented dynamite.
Of course, Bandai went and butchered the name as they so often do, so now it’s called “Noble Gundam”.
It’s a new tooling. Well, more or less.
Yamato did the 1:60 YF-19 back in 2006, I think… And they followed it up with the Macross 7 VF-19’s more recently – a few years ago I think. Apart from the stylistic […]
Bah, I say! Build Fighters was awesome. Though given that Syd says he doesn’t like Gundam anime so much, I can see why it wouldn’t appeal to him. One of the things I really enjoyed about the show was its abundant […]
Beware, though, the stuff may yellow. This was a huge problem for “Those Gundam Guys” when they used Future on the 7 foot tall Unicorn. I may stop using it based on their experience…
This is a subtle one, I think most fans of the show haven’t picked up on it yet…
If you watch closely, in episode 3, I think, there’s an appearance by Ramba Ral. He even has a Gouf!
(More seriously – yeah. How about that female Hiro Yui who used a Mercurius during the 3 vs. 3 competition? Or the Jerid and Kakricon who ate at the Kousaka restaurant?)
