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 [...]

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 [...]

I’ve always viewed Gundam Exia as a sleek and quick MS that slices and dices its opponents then retreats real fast, ninja-style. That’s why an FA (Full Armor) Exia just completely escapes my imagination. Apparently, someone did daydream of it and put it down to illustration.
Think Exia would still be able to kick ass with [...]

I ran across this mod earlier in the week and took greater interest in it when Gundamaniac posted it in his blog. I think Ngee Khiong also had this up in his blog. Originally, I had assumed that this was a perfect grade conversion of the Exia using the PG Strike inner frame. I was [...]

Keita does it again! I mentioned in a previous blog entry that Keita was working on his upcoming masterpiece which is the Gundam Exia SE. Well, it’s finished and he added something that we (or at least I) didn’t expect: Trans Am Mode!

Practically all the webcomics I visit on a daily basis have put April Fool’s dummy websites. I bet that all across the globe, there are tons more people making pranks on other people in celebration of April Fool’s day. I can take a joke. But most of the April Fool’s pranks I’ve encountered in all [...]

Remember when I said I’m going to buy two MG Gundam Unicorns and build one to be set at Normal Mode and the other in Destroy Mode? N.P.GPM beat me to it but boy is his version a lot sexier than I could ever make it. Of course, he had installed the usual metal bells [...]

This is the 1:100 scale Gundam Astraea prototype. For those who don’t know, the Astraea is part of the sidestory manga for Gundam 00, Sunrise’s current ongoing Gundam series. It looks nearly exactly like the Exia, only significantly lacking melee weapons and sports a beam rifle instead.
I am liking the head design for this one. [...]

Update!
I was able to locate a better-looking picture of the Gundam Astraea and the Gundam Plutone including its pilots: Chall Acoustica and Fon Speak.
