Significant Info For Upcoming 1/48 RX-78-2

I'm so drooling over this upcoming 1/48 scale RX-78-2 gundam. I believe you guys already know so much about it, so not gonna say anything more, just wanna inform some nice breaking news about this monster kit....


What d'ya think? A new numbering system?...hmm, by the look of it, it do seems like convenient to me. Or Bandai want to target lower age level with this system?... If so, certainly not a problem with me...haha...

Perfect, Perfect, Perfect Grade!

Hey there...another rather useless post. But thanks for sticking with me....

What to write?....oh ya, about Perfect Grade gundam. Okay, recently a friend of my want to let go his Perfect Grade Strike Rouge. So, after thought about it for 5 seconds, i told myself, what the hell, I take it. I dont possessed any model in PG form before, and this is a good way to start....

The kit itself actually a third hand cos I believe he also bought it from someone else.And the box and manual are nowhere to be found, a couple of broken parts and no V-Fins. (he said his gundam want to be like Hellboy, tanduk kasi patah...^_^; ). This model actually a PG Strike Rouge and it actually came with Sky Grasper/Aile Strike, but it also got lost along the way into my hand. And how it happened is beyond my imagination...

Anyway, my friend/the seller is kindly enough to charge me with zero postage fee (woohooo!!) and later I found he also gave me a surprise gift in a form of HG 1/144 Gunner Zaku Warrior (double woohoo!!). Thanks a lot man! It a nice way to start 2010...this year will be a lucky year to me...


Not bad eh? For RM215 plus shipping I certainly a happy man...although I will probably be happier if it include the box and manual, but I think it's fair...win win situation. Definitely will transform this monster to look nicer than the original, but have to wait till I have the time to do it. So, there you go...my first Perfect Grade model!!!

Stay tune for next post....piu..piu..piu....

MG GN-X Box Art!

The good stuff keeps coming, doesn't it? This is the most anticipated MG for 2010 (so far for me...hihi), and the box art sure didn't disappoint. The purple and red hue (it meant to be the GN particle or the explosion?...i'm not sure) but it sure gives a nice perspective for this illustration. I see it like a futuristic 'Romanticism'...hmm, have to research more about that later...

Anyway, here's the box art...



The theme is kinda similar to the earlier OO MG Exia, but with a different setting of course.
For more info on this model, please visit Bandai Hobbysite. Cheers!

HGUC ReZel Box Art!

Whoa, another 'box art' news in close span of time...yesterday I was babling about my admiration for the Limited Bandai Pro Shop Zaku II, and now we can laid our eyes on the new HGUC Rezel box art. And I think its quite cool...
Illustrated by the ever experienced Gundam Illustrator, Naochika Morishita aka Caramel Mama (he's a guy by the way ^_^:), this illustration is a step higher for his art level direction. We can see the transgression of his art from his early works for Bandai (MG Ex-S, MG Wing Zero and MG Gyan). His latter works are more 'traditional' digital painting compare to more CGI presentation.
And I really like it...


You can check Naochika-san personal website to see more of his works. Peace out!

Stunning box art! (Bandai Pro Shop Limited MG Zaku II)

I really dig this box art. I almost see it like a fine artwork with all the relevant subject matter, content and theme are used to good effect. The 'triangle' shaped pose for the front Zaku simply increase the movement of our eyes, hence create a dynamic mood in this box art. Which is something not easy to do when it involved a bulky 60 tons mobile suit.... ^_^


A little information about this model...it is the latest Bandai Pro Shop (Limited MG MS-06R-1 Zaku II Ver.2.0 A Baoa Qu Defense Squadron Color Ver.) which already hit Japan stores this week. I believe it got many significant modification from the original MG Zaku II, but I'm not really fuzz about it. However for 5,040 yen (RM190) as it price tag, I think it's a good buy for everyone out there who appreciate a fine artwork like this...
