Remember the post about the work in progressGMG 1/100 Sazabi Formania Resin Conversion Kit? Now it is finally complete and ready for pre-order. Price seems to be around $330 without shipping costs. It specifically needs the MG 1/100 Char’s Zaku version 2 frame according to the source of the pictures (a guy from indonesia). And shipping date will be around June 2012. I want to emphasize that this is a resin conversion kit. Aside from the need of another frame, it also needs a paint job. Most likely it will come in your regular resin cast color which is beige. I own a Bandai Formania Sazabi myself, and I could say that this resin kit was indeed done well! Good job GMG!

25th week for our POTW series 🙂
The picture below is owned by a member of our GPH Pool — Jaqio. This is our first time to feature his photo here in GPH. It seems that his share is a custom painted Strike Noir Gundam. Nice metallic finish I must say. For those who does not know, NOIR means black… So it literally means Black Strike.
One of the most memorable games in Playstation One was Metal Gear Solid. Brings back lots of memories especially that time when Solid Snake was fighting the weapon code-name REX in the final stage… I was in high school back then. Anyway, ThreeA Toys is going to release that Final Boss REX as a figure. ThreeA Toys collaborated with Team Kojima and Konami to create this awesome monster of a figure! It has a dimension of 23 x 19 x 14 all in inches. It sure will make a any Metal Gear fan drool with anticipation haha. Known price around the net is roughly $500 without the shipping costs. It will be released by mid of August 2012. Below are pictures, and one of them shows a man carrying the figure as if holding a baby chimpanzee.
Gundam AGE 2 Episode 24 “X-Rounder” is now available! In this episode, Zeheart visits Asemu to persuade him to just give up. Romary shows up which heated things up, a pursuit to catch Zeheart follows. Asemu, Wolf, Flit and the crew engages in combat but the enemy was just overwhelming. Zeheart was stronger than Flit. Dique launches the new Gundam AGE-2 armor which is the Double Bullet. It was really a powerful upgrade, annihilating two X-Rounder Vagan Suits at the same with just one attack! Before the series ended, someone really dear to Flit was murdered. Discussion thread HERE
This is the MG Unicorn Banshee Ver Ka Final Battle Box Art. Being a version Ka (Katoki), it follows the same box arts as the previous Ver Ka releases. But this time, what they did was they removed the color (“desaturated” if you are familiar with photoshop). Its just like a black and white box with a big BANSHEE stamped in the middle.
Check out this cool clear colored full burst stands made for 1/144 and SD model kits. This is not made by Bandai and I do not know the exact brand name. Probably this will be the same price as the Sinanju Sleeves logo base which was sold at 150 pesos at Divisoria 168 Mall. Saw the pictures from Hobbymate, so I think it will not be long till we see this in the local market. I think the yellow, red and blue colors will be popular choices when this comes out.
Local sellers have already announced their prices for the upcoming release of the MG 1/100 Blitz Gundam (GAT-X207). It will be released this coming June 2012 at Japan for the price of ¥4200. Luckily price range here in the Philippines is around 2000 pesos only. We are really excited for the release of this kit. Long have we waited for an MG version of Blitz Gundam! Expect the kits to land on your local hobby shops either late June or early July. Below are pictures of the prototype as displayed on the 2012 Tokyo International Anime Fair.
Here are some upcoming Gundam AGE Model Kits as displayed on the 2012 Tokyo International Anime Fair. Among the Gundam AGE kits displayed there, two of them caught my attention. Namely Vagan mobile suit FARSIA (pink mobile suit from season 1) and Gundam AGE-3 Normal which looks ZZ Double Zeta Gundam. There is also the Shaldoll (green suit) and Adele (blue suit). I am not sure if the Gundam Age-2 Double Bullet (with red cannons) is already out, but he is there as well in case you missed the news. You can check the pictures below.
We have here an unboxing review of Bandai’s Formania Sazabi MSN-04 Neon Zeon Char Aznable Mobile Suit. The FORMANIA line is targeted towards Gundam Collectors who value form, design and detail. Bandai was already successful with the release of the Formania Nu Gundam, but the Formania Sazabi proved far more better than it’s predecessor. Formania Sazabi has so many details that some modelers use it as basis for customizing their kits. It weighs around 1400g and has a dimension of 8.5″ x 8.5″ x 10.5″ (inches) when displayed. It was released on September 2010 and was priced at ¥18,000. There is only one word to describe Formania Sazabi — AWESOME!
