Well, this might be old news, but do you remember the Cosplayer who used a cardboard box because he wants to be a Gundam? Well, he seems to be really famous because there is a figure made in honor of him. I do not know the details but it seems fan made. I am just surprised because I knew the story all along about the guy, but a figure in honor of him is proof that many people know him. Hehe, I wonder where I could get my hands on one of them figs? Errr… Maybe it is not for sale, I guess somebody just customized a 1/8 doll to be like that.
Just plain ol’ cardboard, not even a V-FIN or a shield… Just the word GUNDAM on the box.
Official pictures of the Armor Girls Project Mobile Suit Girl Gundam Wing EW (Kai) has been released (thanks to Gunjap). So finally we have an expected release date which is this coming May 2012. Price will be around 5,040 yen or less than 3000 pesos. Figure is made of ABS/PVC material and will stand at about the height of 140mm or 5.5 inches. I hope our local sellers will open the pre-order for this Gundam Girl Figure soon. ^_^
In case you wanted a Gundam watch, maybe you could try out this Char Aznable’s Zaku II version Watch made by G-SHOCK. Well, I do not know where to find or buy this here in the Philippines. But I am pretty sure we could find some in the holy land of Gundams – JAPAN. Haha, maybe this is 3 times more accurate and 3 times tougher LOL. Oh well, I just wish to find one someday, somewhere here in our dear country. ^_^

19th week for our POTW series 🙂

For all of our friends out there in Marikina, SM City Marikina will be having a Gundam Caravan and Gundam Building and Detailing Contest this coming February 18-19, 2012. There will also be a Gundam Exhibit and Gundam Film Showing. It will be on the 2nd floor of SM City Marikina. So mark this on you calendars. It is only a few days wait. ^_^
We have here today an Unboxing Review of SD Archive Shining Gundam from the series G Gundam. This Gundam toy figure is quite fun actually. I really loved the scale and the gimmicks included in this SD Archive figure. By the way, SD Archives are already out of production and considered to be rare. You can get a fairly good box like the one below for an average price of 1000 pesos and above. I only know of 8 SD Archive models and this is the 8th in the series. Let us now move on with the unboxing. ^_^
MC (Model Comprehend) is going to release yet another kit called ANAKLUSMOS. This ANAKLUSMOS seems to be an original from MC Model. It looks like a turtle, not turtle as turtle but a really BADASS TURTLE MECHA! Kit is said to be released between late February 2012 up to mid of March 2012 and we are looking at the price of around 1000 pesos for this model kit. It looks like a 1/100 scale, but we are guessing that it will still be around the 1/120 scale that (MC) Model Comprehend is known for. Anyway, if you are going to ship this guy, expect a weight of around 1.2 to 1.4 kg. Check out the photos below!
Gundam AGE Episode 16 ” The Gundam in the Stable” is now available! The episode is actually the start of Gundam AGE-2. The story is set 25 years after the Battle of Ambat. Flit is now a federation military commander, now married with Emily, and has 2 children, a girl (don’t know name) and a boy named Asemu (17 yrs old). Flit gives his son Asemu the AGE device just in time before their colony Tordia is attacked by the Veigan (formerly UE). Asemu pilots the Gundam AGE-1 Normal to save the colony.

18th week for our POTW series 🙂 Sorry for posting this one late ^_^ Been busy with stuff lately…
The picture below is owned by a member of our GPH Pool — Lunell Dy. A nicely taken shot of Super Deformed RX-78-2. I think this is the 30th anniversary version. Cute (kawaii) ^_^
I was not really aware that the SDGO toy figures have rare color variations like this SDGO Trans Am 00 Gundam and 0 Raiser. The attendant at TK Megamall told me that in one box of each kind of this SDGO figure comes one (take note, only one) rare color variation. So that is why I was having a hard time looking for such colors when I am asking private sellers. Anyway, lets us move on to the SDGO Trans Am 00 Raiser Rare Color Version unboxing review ^_^
