Okay, okay, I’ll admit, I haven’t seen Jetman yet! I don’t have an excuse really; everybody (“YOU MEAN NERDS!”-Chris) considers it to be one of the best Sentai series of the 1990’s. Still, I’ve always […]
In all my years of collecting, I’ve come to notice one thing that is the bane of almost every collector’s existence: exclusives. In a time that doesn’t seem so long ago, mail-away exclusives used […]
It’s done. I have conquered the beast. No, this thing wasn’t a beast. The Unicorn Gundam is a beast. The Sinanju is more like a full-blown demon. There are those kits that we fear. […]
I have never gone up against a more frustrating model kit in my entire life. Now, earlier I spoke of how the Version Katoki kits are essentially the gold standards of Master Grades these days, […]
While I have more or less sworn off Western toys in varying forms, I have made the decision to still purchase a select few. These will only be special examples; like, one-off figures I just […]
I remember when this kit first came out. The Unicorn was awesome and cool and everyone was talking about it. A friend of mine mentioned the Sinanju and all I could say was, “what the […]
So close, it’s just so damn close! Never before in my life have I built a more satisfying kit. The Nu Gundam Version Katoki Master Grade is an engineering marvel, and it looks damn impressive […]
Well, that was easier than expected. Honestly I can’t say I’m surprised. As a much older Master Grade, it was pretty clear that it was going to be much simpler than the Nu Ver […]
Oh man, this kit is awesome. I apologize for the lack of updates, as I’ve been rather busy over the past few days. There’s a lot more to this kit than you can see, so […]
A few months back, you might remember the Real Type G-Armor kit I was going to build. Well, don’t worry, because I certainly haven’t forgotten it. I just got bogged down by Katoki-itis. I […]
Ah, good ol’ Crossbone Gundam. Totally badass and armed to the teeth. Crossbone X-1 is an awesome design, but if it weren’t for my current play-through of Super Robot Wars Alpha 2, I probably never […]
HAPPY NU YEAR. I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist. I’ve been working during pretty much all of my spare time in some way or another on this kit. I kind of wish I had it all […]
Ohhh yes. It’s finally here. When I was at Otakon this past summer, I was pretty close to buying the old Nu Gundam Master Grade. I haven’t done a kit that appeared in Char’s Counterattack […]
I always love it when Gundam adds new concepts that don’t exactly add much to the story itself, but make the whole universe seem richer in a way. While characters like the MSV Ace Pilots […]
With the end of the school year upon me, I haven’t had as much time for Gunpla as I would like. But, no need to fret; I’ve been keeping with a pretty decent schedule on […]
Did someone say Pirate Gundam? I think I heard someone say Pirate Gundam. I remember the day this kit was first announced. I was talking with my friend Keith (who used to write here) […]
After about a month of construction, it’s finally done! I have to admit, I was never one of those crazy-obsessed Zeta Gundam fans. Sure, it’s one of the best series but it’s far from perfect. […]
You know, this time last year, I probably wouldn’t even be making this a separate article. Master Grades just weren’t my thing back then, but now, they’re pretty much my primary. I certainly haven’t given […]
Oh yes. It’s time for Gunpla Expo again. Gunpla Expo World Tour has come, and there are some pretty interesting reveals this time around: some kits getting announced that I thought we’d never see. Images […]
After a week delay, the Zeta’s build log is back. While my power was only out for about 39 hours, I still got pretty damn bored. So, I figured, hey, I’ll do some work on […]
