I am not surprised that the HG GN-0000DVR Gundam 00 Diver is such a good kit given that it’s based off of the HG GN-0000 00 Gundam.
However, I’d be more interested in buying a Real Grade version of it and it just so happens that Bandai already made an RG GN-0000+GNR-010 00 Raiser that they can repurpose for an RG GN-0000DVR Gundam 00 Diver or I suppose an RG GN-0000DVRA Gundam 00 Diver Ace.

Speaking the GN-0000DVR Gundam 00 Diver…
The name 00 Diver sort of sounds like Odaiba if you read the ‘double oh’ part as “Ō” like ‘Ōkami’ (like the video game).

Hopefully if these HG Pacific Rim kits sell a lot, it will encourage Bandai to get he license to make model kits for the first movie as well.

If the HG releases sell well enough, I’m sure Bandai will keep making more and more. Heck, it might sell well enough for Bandai to go back and do model kits of the original movie as well.
So the best way is to keep supporting Bandai by purchasing Pacific Rim model kits if you want more.
Bandai (like any other company) runs on popularity, profits, and sales. Whatever product/product line is popular, sells well, and profits a lot will encourage them to continue making more products in that line up.
Makes sense right?
In terms of a retail store, if a retail store regularly sells out of a particular item or product line up (i.e. HG Pacific Rim model kits), then they’ll have to order more stock from Bandai. If Bandai seems that regular restocks are being made by retail stores,…[Read more]

Well it’s not like the High Grade, GunPla kits are bad. If anything, they’re always getting better. Starting with the HG Revive series that started in 2015, High Grade kits have gotten much better.

I am excited for the new Gundam Build Divers series! I hope that we see some Real Grade kits as well. Also, I wonder if Bandai will go back and make model kits from the original Pacific Rim movie.

Aw man. Ryan is leaving HLJ for good? Dang. It’s been a good run. You will be missed. I hope you do well in whatever endeavors you take part in.

With ¥2000, I could probably buy myself a new RG, MG, or maybe towards a PG. I’m holding off to see what new kits are going to be announced for the rest of 2018.

The MG MSA-0011［Bst］ S Gundam Booster Unit Type Plan 303E “Deep Striker is just a brick.

I guess the ‘Diver’ part could be from Diver City or maybe ‘Diving’ will be what ‘Divers’ do when they go into the VR world?
The HG AGE-IIMG Gundam AGEII Magnum is exciting. It’s nice that Bandai is revisiting the Mobile Suit Gundam Age designs.
Maybe Bandai will try the MG Age line up again and we’ll get:
AGE-1AJ Gundam AGE-1 Assault Jacket
AGE-1FG Gundam AGE-1FG Full Glansa
AGE-3 Gundam AGE-3 Fortress
AGE-3 Gundam AGE-3 Normal
AGE-3 Gundam AGE-3 Orbital
AGE-FX Gundam AGE-FX
AGE-FX Gundam AGE-FX (Burst)
RGE-B790CW Genoace Custom
WMS-GB5 G-Bouncer
WMS-GEX1 G-Exes
Maybe Bandai will do RG Age kits?
The Shiguru Shield on the AGE-IIMG Gundam AGEII Magnum is a nod to the AGE-1S Gun…[Read more]

Funny how Lindsay and David guess each other’s choices on the first pair they unboxed. Hopefully I win.

It’s actually Frieza in the English dub for Dragon Ball Z and フリーザ (Fu-ri-za) in Japanese.
The Pokemon’s name is Articuno (Englsih) and フリーザー (Freezer) so there’s a slight difference in the katakana. ^_^

15:11
That’s Polywag, right? LOL

4:28 Now you guys do memes? LOL

I’m looking forward to more RG kits from Build Fighters.

MG RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee “Ver.Ka” should’ve been a P-Bandai release IMO.

I hope that with Build Divers, Bandai might be convinced to give the MG Age series another shot and finish it up with:
– AGE-1FG Gundam AGE-1 Full Glansa
– AGE-3 Gundam AGE-3 Normal
– AGE-3F Gundam AGE-3 Fortress
– AGE-3O Gundam AGE-3 Orbital
– AGE-FX Gundam AGE-FX
– AGE-FX Gundam AGE-FX (FX Burst)
– RGE-B790CW Genoace Custom
– WMS-GB5 G-Bouncer
– WMS-GEX1 G-Exes

It’d be nice if I could win something one day. The Hobby Work Station (Pro) seems like it’d be nice to have.

Good to see Ryan again. It feels like it’s been a while.
8:46 The ‘real’ Toy Tengoku team appears! Not surprise of their choices. I don’t drink soft drinks much, but I never liked the Diet or Zero variants as they taste horrible.
10:54 “…a wild Todd approaches…” Oh Todd…Classic Todd…LOL I hope that Todd feels better soon.

Mario Renato piloted in Gundam Build Fighters the:
RGM-79K9 GM Sniper K9
RGM-89GM Ghost Jegan M
TMF/T BuCUE Tank

So I guess that the HG GNX-611T/G Striker GN-X is the only way you can get an HG GNX-604T Advanced GN-X?

Delightfully Terrifying. LOL
I also heard that Star Wars designs were inspired by samurai so I guess it’s no surprise we’re getting these samurai versions of Star Wars characters in figure form.
Apparently, the Sith (including Darth Maul) are left handed.
I’d like to see the Desktop Real McCoy 06: Son Goku & Bulma next time.

Good to hear your leg is getting better Todd.
Of course January would be a little slow since December is when we usually get a huge release, and then January is the calm before the storm when it seems like we get everything.
So in preparation for that, I’d love to win something to help ease the pain of all of the things I want from HLJ.

I really like the updated designs that the Action Base 4 and Action Base 5 provides for RG and MG kits.
But my question is why hasn’t Bandai made an Action Base for PG kits?

Please review the Darth Maul. I’m interested in the Star Wars characters done up in samurai style. I’ve never gotten into figure collecting so it would be interesting if I could start. They’ve always seem expensive.
Thanks for another great episode! It’s great to see Toy Tengoku (really) return after such a long time.

“A Christmas Story” is definitely a great movie. I love how Todd took inspiration from that leg lamp that the father character in that movie was so obsessed over.

It’s great that Bandai finally releases a new Action Base for the 1/144 and 1/100 GunPla kits.
Given that it’s the end of the year, it should be expected that we wouldn’t get any new releases. However, we have lots of new kits already announced for 2018.
