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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Finally! I’ve been so eager to see the Psycho Gundam Mk. II Metal Composite action figure in living color and after being away from blogging and Gundam news-hunting for the past week or so, this is definitely a nice welcome back to the geekdom I’ve always been fond of since I was a kid.
When I [...]

First three letters that popped up on my head when I saw this image was WTF?! Seriously, this unit looks like the lovechild of a variable fighter and Gobots’s Leader 1. It’s crazy. I know hardcore fans will say, “no, it doesn’t have the three transformation modes that variable fighters have so it’s not a [...]

Don’t know Gundam Alex? Don’t know Chobham Armor?
I haven’t seen the series itself. The first time I encountered Chobham Armor was when I was still trying to play Super Robot Wars which has that armor as one of the items that you can equip onto your units. So just look at the image above, sexify [...]

More updates on the upcoming Metal Composite Psycho Gundam Mk. II from the Gundam Fix Figuration line. Chil says it’s ugly. I find it ugly too. But I still want to own one for the sake of owning one. It’s too purple for my tastes and the face isn’t as menacing as the black mug [...]
