Bandai's cornucopia of Sentai for your wallet offerings
Oh Bandai, you just love to make my wallet weep in pain. It was only yesterday I gushed about the S.H. Figuarts releases of BoukenRed and Red Busters. Then there was Super Robot Chogokin Daizyujin. Now you're also adding a new release from AkibaRanger, Moe Moe Zukyuun. It's just all too much for my wallet to bear. Now with budgeting decisions to make, I'm going with the Megazord. Maybe if I buy enough of them, they'll make me a Dragon Zord. For those who will make different decisions than I, these will all be dropping in September. S.H. Figuarts BoukenRed and RedBusters will retail for 3,500 yen, Super Robot Chogokin Daizyujin for 4,800 yen and the DX MMZ-01 Moe Moe Zukyuun for 12,000 yen. Sure that may sound like a lot, but it's a 1/1 scale moe blob that turns into a gun. I think I can dig that. In fact, I'll dub her Moetron. I'll take your angry letters for that nickname in the comments. What would be of more use though is heading over to Tamashii Nations USA's Facebook page and telling them you want Daizyujin to come out stateside. Do you really want to pay that shipping on a die-cast mecha of your childhood? I think not. [Pre-order S.H. Figuarts BoukenRed at AmiAmi | Hobby Search] Did you know?

9:15 PM on 05.15.2013 Shizuoka Hobby Show: Master Grade Gundam 3.0It was just announced yesterday and I wasn't thrilled by the news. It's just what feels like Master Grade Gundam #47. There's a reason why it was made though and Bandai had to prove that today. With what looks like a 1/100 sc...

10:00 AM on 05.13.2013 Combine two great tastes in one: Gundam models and curryIf there is any dish I love, it's curry. If there's any object I love, it's Gundam models. When the two get together, you would think I'd devour this down. When faced with an unappetizing dish, slap a Gundam on it and watch i...
