MG Hyaku Shiki Build Log-PREGAME!
You know what makes this hobby absolutely toxic? When you get some kind of brilliant idea that you need to act on right away, otherwise you’re going to forget about it. Of course, I still […]

Upcoming HGUC Releases for the 4th Quarter
This has been quite the exciting year for new High Grade Universal Century releases! This is, of course, mostly due to Gundam Unicorn and its massive fanwank in episode 4, finally gaining us model kits […]

Super Robot Chogokin Might Gaine Review
Ahhh the Brave Series; such a great franchise from Sunrise and Takara that just needs more merchandise these days. Well, it seems like Bandai heard the call and answered it, by putting out more Brave […]

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 […]

MG Destiny Gundam Build Log Part 3
One of the coolest parts of the Destiny Gundam is easily its weapons. While most of the designs towards the end of Destiny felt like total rehashes (seriously, is Legend Gundam even any different from […]

MG Destiny Gundam Build Log Part 2
I don’t know why, but I’m just on such a crazy Master Grade kick lately. Part of the reason I make HGUCs is because of the variety, and I’ll only do MGs of stuff that […]

MG Destiny Gundam Build Log Part 1
I’m pretty sure it’s been made clear over the years that I’m not a very big Gundam Master Grade person. I enjoy building them and whatever, but they aren’t really my thing because they don’t […]

The Challenge of GBWC 2012
Well folks, it’s that time of year again. It’s time for Otakon. While all of my friends spend countless hours trying to get all their cosplays done in time, I find myself relaxing while working […]

Kitbash Time! Johnny Ridden’s Gelgoog
Ah yes, it’s time for one of those kitbashes I’ve wanted to do for years. Back in 2008, I made a huge order from HobbyLinkJapan of old Gundam kits. I went for two Dodais, three […]

Super Robot Chogokin Mazinger Weapon Set
By Loran Like any good robot, Mazinger Z’s got his fair share of weapons. Some of them help define his design, while others are so damn obscure, Super Robot Wars doesn’t care about them most […]

Super Robot Chogokin Shin Mazinger Z Review
Ah Mazinger Z… why did it take me so long to finally get a good figure of you? Oh yeah, there’s way too many to choose from! You have the original Soul of Chogokin, which […]

Transformers Prime Knock Out Review
It seems that with every recent Transformers production, there has been that one character that the fans just love. It could be based on how they are on-screen or how they’re played off in their […]

HGUC Marasi (Unicorn Version)
Before I started working on this kit, my friend and I were discussing some of the mobile suits from Zeta Gundam just aren’t cool. Sure, everyone likes the major mecha, but what about some of […]

Transformers Prime Ratchet Review
Ahh, Ratchet. What a great Transformers character. Be it the original Ratchet who was [supposed to be] a crazy party animal that almost flunked out of med school, or the modern interpretation that’s more of […]

Transformers Prime Megatron Review
By Loran And once again, I find myself reviewing Megatron… I wasn’t too big on the design for Megatron in Transformers Prime originally. It just felt like a shameless rehash of his design from the […]

MSV In-Box Impressions
By Loran As I said before, I’m obsessed with MSVs. I love all those silly little variations that don’t serve much of a purpose in the long run (It’s a Guncannon! With… different cannons!) and […]

Kre-O Sentinel Prime Review

A Plethora of Arts
So remember last week when I complained about the severe lack of new arrivals post-holiday and there was barely anything for me to talk about that WASN’T comic book related? Well don’t fret folks, that’s […]
