This is probably one of the longest periods of time that I haven’t touched my blog, much less write about Gundams and other mecha or merchandise-related stuff.
First to blame is the Prince of Tennis manga which I know has already been released and completed in anime format, but you know me… So there, finished reading [...]

Bandai will be releasing a 1/100 high grade Gundam Avalanche Exia. This is the same Exia with additional armor that makes it look like Shin Musha Gundam’s long lost blue brother. It comes with interchangeable hands rather than the flexing fingers of the master grade series but we can start noticing some of that inner [...]

I recently blogged about the latest Kureha figurine which was done by President Japan. I got more pics from Amiami.com and it makes me want to buy this figurine even more! I’m sure she would look absolutely gorgeous on my desk! To see is to believe. Here are the photos!
Absolutely gorgeous don’t you think? Would [...]

Two figurines that caught my eye because of their sculp…and their cleavage. President Japan released a figurine of Kureha from Shining Tears X Wind. I liked it because of Kureha’s pose as well as those sleeves…and the cleavage.
Next up is Figure WAVE’s Yoko Space Type. Yoko is the rifle-toting chick with the bouncy pair and [...]

It’s been quite some time since I last talked about the Type F. Now, we have actual merchandise pics of the 1/100 model kit. Come have a look.
Box art reminds me too much about the RX-78-2 ver. OYW box art where the classic image of the RX-78-2 slashing through a Zaku is shown.
I’m actually liking [...]

Saw some newer merchandise pics of the GFF Gundam Mk. III and I’m starting reconsider if this is worth buying or not. Let me show you the pictures first.
In Jeremy Clarkson’s tone, I say “Look at that!” Thanks to Hajime Katoki being the main artist for Gundam Sentinel, this one’s looking a lot like the [...]

Remember the Force FX scale model lightsabers from Star Wars? HY2M has recently announced a 1/12 scale model of the Gundam beam saber. It looks awesome and I’m tempted to buy one and put it on my office desk but might not for fear of being fired for bringing a deadly weapon in the office [...]

Saw this at Amiami.com. I can’t read Japanese but I did notice a 1/144 scale written underneath the image. Now I’m not sure if that’s 1/144 model kit or 1/144 action figure. Nevertheless, this looks quite awesome and with the release of the 1/144 Alteisen Riese, this would be an awesome compliment to the hard [...]

The image in the far right is obviously the Gundam Exia which Setsuna pilots. The two other robot images are from the recently-published design of the 00 Gundam. Here are some of the more obvious cosmetic changes:
green orb on chest is gone
one more green orb for each arm
blue wrists
thruster backpack instead of hunchback cone design
traditional [...]

Saw this Amiami.com. I find her quite sexy and that bikini is definitely a crazy outfit for a chick waving around two swords. This is The Oneechanbara’s Aya done in 1/7 scale PVC by Alter. Aya is a character in Tamsoft’s action game series The Oneechanbara.
I wonder if that bikini top is cast-offable. ^_^;;
