Preview: BB Senshi SD RX-78-2 Gundam

Here's a preview of one of the kits for my projects next year. "Jyuzou, do you have an obsession with RX-78 Gundams or something?" Yeah, I have the EG, a HG (that I haven't finished building yet), and now this. Hmmmm... Probably? Ahehe.

More SD Gundams! MORE SD GUNDAMS! HAHAHA!

I actually bought this a few months ago, as a gift for myself. So, this kit has been in my room for quite a while now.

The second reason is because I really REALLY love SD Gundam model kits! They're so CUTE! *squeals* And the third reason is, like I've said before, I wanted to do small kits first. Hopefully, I'll be able to post my review of this kit soon. ...and the fourth reason is I think it would be super cool to have this side-by-side with the HG version. (Once I complete it that also.)

Well, that's it! See you on the next post!

Already Damaged...

Ah, stupidity... I have plenty. Unfortunately.

While we were in tbe middle of getting the floor of my room repaired last weekend, I had to remove stuff from my room and place them temporarily in the living room. Of course, I had to move my Gunplas as well and guess what, I dropped one of them.

The shield's handle snapped off, and it's only been 2 weeks... Annoying.

G Generation-F Super Deformed No.227: RX-178 + FXA-05D Super Gundam

It's a Gundam. And it's Super. Hah!

Welcome, May 2013! Another month for random Gundam-related stuff and, hopefully, more Gunpla Reviews. And to start this month off, I present to you another Super Deformed Gunpla Review from the G Generation line of kits. (But I was really planning on putting this off for tomorrow.)

Today, we're going to take a look at "SD Super Gundam"! Jump past the break to check the full details.

Whew! SD Gundam Physalis took more time to review than I thought! I'm starting to get a good idea of how long it will take me to review High Grades and Master Grades...

Anyway, I actually bought 2 SD kits to review while I'm preparing (stalling) for my "main" reviews. I was reviewing my reviews (what?) to check its format. I've decided to use my "improved" review format on SD Gundam Physalis' review. Nothing major, though. Just a few tweaks here and there to make the format more "uniform" or whatever. I hope that it's easier to read.

Am I stalling again? Wait. "Preparing". Sorry. So, here's the next kit that I'll be reviewing.

Super Deformed (RX-178 + FXA-05D) Super Gundam

Another G Generation kit! This time, it's "Super Gundam"! Must be Superman's Mobile Suit or somethings. Huh.

So, I'll see you in the next post!

G Generation-0 Super Deformed No.202: Gundam RX-78 GP02A "Physalis" Unboxing & Review

Big shield. Big Bazooka. Big thrusters. Big Gundam. (Well, big SD Gundam..) Be afraid.

Review time! This time, it' for SD Gundam Physalis from Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. Although I haven't watched the Stardust Memory movie, I do remember Gundam Physalis from Gundam Battle Assault 2. It's one of the coolest Gundams I've ever seen. However, it's not one of the Mobile Suits that I'd regularly use in that game...

But we're not here to talk about the game, we're here for the kit! So jump past the break to check the full details on SD Gundam Physalis' unboxing and review.

More "filler" unboxings and reviews while I prepare for my "main" Gunpla Reviews... I've just only started my blog and I'm already having problems. Annoying...

Anyway, I'd hate to call any of my reviews as "filler". I love all of my Gundam kits equally and I hate to degrade them by labeling their review as "filler". I mean, the only reason why I'm calling this a "filler" is because I still haven't prepared the gear for my review in order to do it in its "true" format. Huh. Anyway, I'll still do my best to give every kit that I own a proper and thorough review.

So... on to the preview of the review. Review preview. Right.

Super Deformed RX-78 GP02A Gundam Physalis

I think I'll be needing more time to get this done. Compared to the previous reviews that I've done, this one is the closest thing to a "proper" Gunpla. I mean, looking at the reviews that I've done so far... 2 Entry Grade kits, An old and already assembled SD Gunpla, and an SD Mobile Armor... Yeah.

Anyway, I'll post the review soon and I'll see you in the next post!

G Generation-F Super Deformed No. 57: MAN-08 Newtype's Mobile Armor "Elmeth" Unboxing & Review

The Newtype's Mobile Armor, "Elmeth".

The Blog's content is seriously lacking for the last few days. So, to remedy this, I'm going to occasionally post some Gunpla reviews until I finish preparing for the more interesting Gunpla Model Kits that I have bought. And with that said, let's go ahead with today's Gunpla review! The "SD MAN-08 Newtype's Mobile Armor" a.k.a "Elmeth".

G Generation-0 Super Deformed No. 18: RGM-79N GM Custom Review (Unofficial)

As I was looking for the 'successor' to my beloved SD Jegan, I found this.

A few months (I think) afterwards, after our vacation in Hongkong, I looked for toys similar to my beloved SD Jegan. I'm not really sure where I found this kit, but I still remember why I bought this particular Mobile Suit. Yup, it's because it almost looks exactly like my beloved SD Jegan. Actually, since I don't know SD Jegan's name back then (because it's written in Japanese, and I can't read it), I thought that this particular kit IS Jegan. Well, actually, it's vice-versa since I can read this kit's name. "Oh, so it's called GM Custom!" was probably my reaction when I first saw this kit. I bought it because I wanted to know how it differs from the one that I own. Seriously, I thought it only had a different box because it was a re-release or something.

Since this is a very old Gunpla of mine, I'll label it as an "unofficial" review.

Head on past the break to view the entire post!

Reminiscing: My First SD Gundam Model Kits (Old Construction Manuals)

I found more memories while rummaging in my pile of old stuff, old construction manuals from my first SD Gundam Model Kits. I think that these were the first Gundam Model Kits that I've bought, but I'm not sure. I just realized that there are no Gundams among the kits, which is kinda strange for me since I don't really like non-Gundam Mobile Suits. I think I bought these when I was still unaware of any Gundam Anime or model kits.

The very first BB Senshi SD Gundam that I've bought, "Jegan".

Reminiscing: Old Gundam Wing SD Model Kits

While rummaging through my pile of old stuff, I found my old SD Gundam Wing model kits. I remembered that I was actually trying to restore them before but stopped midway when I realized that I was ruining it even more. They've been stored in my cabinet for a long time now and, obviously, they don't look too good because of that. 

My old Gundam Wing SD Model Kits. They've been stored in my dusty cabinet, so I dunked them all in warm water to remove some of the dust.

What is an "ECOPLA"?

Ok. You go to your local hobby store. You buy a Gundam model kit. "It's kinda strange", you thought. The box is black & white for some reason. Unfortunately, you can't read Japanese. "Maybe it's a limited edition?" is what came to mind while you're staring at the box. But then you thought "If it's a limited edition, why is it this cheap?". It looks just like a normal Gunpla kit (except for the black & white box, that is) and the only thing that you see that's out of place is an "ECOPLA" text/logo that's printed around the box. Hmmm... "Eco.. Pla..?" As you open the box, you're surprised. But not really. This is my first impression when I bought an "ECOPLA" Gundam Model Kit. And if you've bought one in the past, this is probably what your reaction is like as well.

Have you bought a Gunpla that had this logo before?

So, what is an "ECOPLA"?
