Tasmashii Nation Part 2- Robots!
Let’s be BRUTALLY honest here. I love robots. You and I know that very well, but god, how could anything top that Sailor Moon Figuart announcement? Well, at this point, nothing really could, but that […]

Master Grade Zeta Gundam Build Log Preview
Man, if you don’t love the Zeta Gundam, I don’t think we can be friends. If there’s one star Gundam that embodies the 80’s, it’s this one. Transforms? Check. Well-placed color scheme? Check. Sleek and […]

MG Hyaku Shiki Build Log 2
With the Black Tri-Stars Zaku out of the way, I can finally work on a project that I’m totally dedicated to. I’m sure anybody who’s ever been some kind of artist would sympathize with the […]

MG Black Tri Stars Zaku II
After sitting in the corner of my bedroom at the total bottom of my backlog (seriously, below both the Qubeley AND the G-Falcon Double X), my first ever Master Grade Zaku II 2.0 is completed. […]

MG Black Tri Stars Zaku II Build Log Part 1
Ah yes, the Master Grade Zaku version 2.0… I remember how excited everyone was for this kit five years ago. Back then I couldn’t accept the idea of a new design for the Zaku because […]

Master Grade Wing Gundam EW Build Log FINAL
Hey guys, remember when I was doing a build log of the Master Grade Wing Gundam? Yeah… sorry about that. Basically, I got busy with the end of the school year. That’s the short answer. […]

Master Grade Gundam Epyon Review
To say I was excited about the Master Grade Epyon would be an understatement. It really came out of left field. Yeah, Bandai was doing the Wing Ver Ka Master Grade last year, but I […]

Upcoming Master Grade releases for the 4th quarter
This time last year, if you told I was writing an article solely on upcoming Master Grades, I would’ve thought you were crazy… Bandai’s Master Grade line has been interesting this year, to say the […]

MG Gundam Mark II Build Log-FINAL
Okay, with my first fully-painted 2.0 all finished, I guess it’s time to jump in. I don’t think there’s anything about the Mark II in Titans colors I can say here that I didn’t say […]

MG Blitz Gundam Build Log part 1
Very rarely does Bandai put a kit out that makes me want it immediately, especially when it’s not from Unicorn in any way, shape, or form. There are some designs to which I’m weirdly attached, […]

Banshee Destroy Mode Review
My favorite enemy giant robot type has always been the “evil version”. I’m not sure if I’ve spoken of this before, but it’s just so appealing to me. It’s basically like using the good guy’s […]
