The BB #370 SD Legend Knight Gundam will be released late April, 2012. Some sellers have already opened pre-order slots. They are selling it between the price of 500 – 600 pesos. We are eagerly awaiting for its release since the previous versions of the SD Legend Knight Gundam model kits were not satisfactory. I hope that this release will get better treatment. Anyway, it looks really good on photos, I hope it is the same when we get our hands on it. Looking forward to review this kit and add it to our collection.

23rd week for our POTW series 🙂
The picture below is owned by a member of our GPH Pool — Kikomachi. He has been one of our biggest contributor on GundamPH’s Flickr group. There really is no denying that he can take awesome pictures of his Gundam kits. This time we are featuring shots of his Infinite Justice Gundam. Now it makes me want to have one as well… haha!
Gundam AGE Episode 21 “The Shadow that Awaits” is now available! After the last battle with Zeheart, Asemu and the Diva fleet manages to arrive at the Federation HQ “Big Ring”. There Asemu is reunited with his father as was told that the Diva will be part of the counter attack against the upcoming Vagan attack on the Big Ring. Asemu participates in the “New Generation Pilot Training Program” to determine his X-rounder aptitude. He failed the tests and was then brought by Wolf to meet Madorna. There at Madorna’s factory, Asemu continued to train using Rody’s training simulator.
We have here today an unboxing review of an MSIA Psycho / Psyco Gundam. On the box it is written as PSYCO Gundam instead of PSYCHO. PSYCO is the correct term because it refers to Psycommu System that is used by Newtypes in the series Mobie Suit Gundam Zeta. But the popular term is Psycho so we will use the terms interchangeably. I really love this MSIA figure because it is easier to convert to Mobile Fortress mode and it feels more durable and tougher than it’s HG 1/144 counterpart. This set comes with a figure of the Cyber Newtype named Four Murasame and a couple of extra hands. We won this figure in an Ebay auction by the way ^_^. Now let us move on with the review.
First of all, I am NOT a PRO photographer. I just love photography and I love toys. This tutorial is based on what setup we are using to take the pictures of the Toys and Gundams you see on this blog. We are sharing this Basic Toy Photography Setup Guide / Tutorial to prove that even though you are using only a cellphone camera, you can have pictures that are nice to look at. Ever since this blog was established up until last month, all the pictures taken here came from a cellphone camera. Only last month did we acquire a DSLR camera since we think that we had abused the cellphone’s camera too much because it was already having a hard time focusing on subjects haha! ^_^ I hope you learn something from this post.

22nd week for our POTW series 🙂
The picture below is owned by a member of our GPH Pool — Merzki. I think this is the first time we are featuring his photos. Today we are featuring his MG Quan[T] with the GN Sword IV Full Saber custom kit attached. Nice kit and nice photo. Looking forward to more shares from him.
That is all for this week… Enjoy! ^_^
and here is another angle of the shot ^_^ (will be doing this from now on if another angle is available)
Saw this posted on a group I frequently visit. Below you will see a series of custom colored (photoshop’d) Gundam RX-78-2. They had the whole Justice League version, as well as some of the Avengers members. Mario and Voltes V are included too. This is a really nice reference and a good practice as well that when you are trying to make a custom colored Gundam kit, you can use Adobe Photoshop to see how the colors will look like first. Anyway, just click on the images to see the bigger version! 🙂
Club-Gunpla – Bandai South Asia will be having a Gundam Building and Detailing Contest tomorrow (Saturday) at Robinsons Place Manila starting 10:00am until 9:30pm. I think this event is an effort by Bankee Philippines to simultaneously hold the event on different Robinsons Mall (IMHO). Go and experience either the Gundam Building & Detailing (for 13 yrs old above) or the Gundam Caravan (for 7-12 yrs old). Or you could just enjoy the Gundam exhibit that they will have.
Club-Gunpla – Bandai South Asia will be having a Gundam Building and Detailing Contest tomorrow (Saturday) at Robinsons Galleria starting 10:00am until 9:30pm. I think this will be only for tomorrow, no repetition on one place will be done. So if you are near Robinsons Galleria Ortigas then go and experience either the Gundam Building & Detailing (for 13 yrs old above) or the Gundam Caravan (for 7-12 yrs old). Or you could just enjoy the Gundam exhibit that they will have.
We have here some additional kits to be reviewed namely an HG 1/144 Palace Athene, an MG Heavy Arms and another MG Quan[T] GN Sword IV Full Saber (this time it comes with the water slide decals sheet for the gn sword). Got them all from Coldfire Gundam. Among them the HG Palace Athene is the one usually out of stock. Glad to finally get one. Looking forward to build and review these kits.
