ACen 2013: Bandai/Bluefin part 2

It's funny how being around a lot of something can make me want that thing. I never figured myself to be big on Gunpla, as I was never into Gundam. But seeing all the various model kits on display at Bluefin's booth was enoug...

Shizuoka Hobby Show: Roll out the re-colors edition

There's a fine line between milking the cow and killing the golden goose. Bandai's Premium Web Shop walks the line like a guy with a blood alcohol level of 0.08. While a few of their efforts aren't too offensive, when you sta...

Shizuoka Hobby Show: new Gundam High Grade kits

This year's Shizuoka has been my Itchy and Scratchy Land. Ready to go head over heels at all of the sights, only to be disappointed by the sameness of it all. That's not to say that there aren't gems and things to be excited ...

Combine two great tastes in one: Gundam models and curry

If 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...

Custom Delights: Howl's Moving Castle made of Zakus

Custom Gundams? They're expected. As complex as they can be, you get used to them. In order to stand out, you need to do something truly remarkable, like combine it with Howl's Moving Castle. That's just what Dunpeel did with...

Point and laugh at the new MG Strike Gundam on display

I won't say that the new Master Grade edition of the Strike Gundam is bad. I expect it to be a great kit. The Strike Gundam is my favorite mobile suit, I have over 10 of them built between scales, and I may even get this one....
