Hi everyone! It has been a busy November and December for me. Blog posts are really slow because of the tons of stuff I needed to do at work and in my life. But that does not stop us from getting some goodies for our toy collection! We have here some of the stuff that Santa gave us for December! NEW HAULS! hahaha! We got a couple of Batman Hot Toys figure namely the Batpod and the DX12, a Soul Of Chogokin DX Mazinger Z, a PA KAI Solidus Snake and a NERF Maverick! I would to say thank you to my friends who made getting them possible. You guys know who you are. ^__^ Thanks and Merry Xmas everyone!
I came across this Gundam Tofu Food photos from a forum I happen to check out. Sadly it is available mostly in Japan…And I really wish that I could try one of them to see how it tastes like. I know it is just tofu, but that is GUNDAM TOFU! Talk about eating your tofu with style! I just notice that most of them are Zakus. Perhaps it is easier to create a Zaku Tofu than an RX-78-2 Tofu. Oh well, enjoy the photos.
I think the kit we are going to review today has been in our storage shelves for about a year already. Finally we decided to take it out and do a unboxing and straight build review . We have here the 1/100 Pink Zaku Warrior a.k.a Live Concert Version (Lacus Clyne Custom). This is a 2007 C3xHobby exclusive and is the only 1/100 scale Pink Zaku Warrior that I know of which was released by Bandai. It has a metallic pink finish which looks great! It really compliments the kit very well. I was expecting an annoying shiny finish. But I was really stunned that it looked so cute and beautifully pink! hahaha!
Finally decided to open up and do an unboxing review of what we consider to be a rare find. We have here a Gundam Fix Figuration: Metal CompositeMRX-009 Psycho Gundam dubbed as the Hong Kong Night Version which was released back in year 2009 through the Tamashii Nations. The main difference between the HK version and the regular version of the Psycho Gundam is that the HK version is done in a “glossy-chrome-black-car-like-finish”. Forgive the long description but I that is how I want to describe it. Sadly, the whole beauty of this figure was not captured by my equipment. If only I have the resources and photography skills of PROs haha. I did the best I could to review this kit. This is a must have especially for GFF collectors. I give it a 10/10 rating.
This is an unboxing review of an SDGO RX-78-2 Gundam figure. The only difference is that this one is a G3 rare color variation (a.k.a RX-78-3). It is technically the same as the regular RX-78-2 figure except for the colors. We got this from Toy Kingdom roughly 6 months ago back when only a few people care they exist. I was told that for each box of each type shipped, only 1 of this type can be found inside the box. Before we start the review, I just want to tell you that SDGO is basically a reincarnation of the SD Archive series Bandai had before.
Today we are going to have a double unboxing review. We decided to open up the Robot Damashii Nu Gundam and the RD Full Expansion Set (Bandai online shop exclusive itemsold separately) so we could see what are the benefits of buying the Full Extension Set. This set here is the first Robot Damashii that we ever bought. The reason behind why we bought them is because this is the only set we know of that could replicate the Pyramid Shield Defense of the Nu Gundam. Sure you could scratch build it, but SB-ing is a something we don’t have time to do. So simply put, if you want to have a nice Pyramid Shielding Nu Gundam in your cabinet without effort then by all means get this set. Being our first RD, we do not have basis with regards to quality. But we do not have any complaints about the figure overall. A 9.5 out of 10 rating would suffice.
This is an unboxing and out of the box build review of the ANA 00 Raiser Gundam (an HG 1/144 G30th Limited Edition kit). For those who do not know about ANA you can check this post for more info. This ANA 00 Raiser Gundam is the second kit that we have built among the ANA series. Like the first kit which is ANA RX-78-2, this 00 Raiser is also a very awesome kit. Joints were super tight (maybe because of the paint), chrome-like finish is top notch, nub marks are not really noticeable and decals are nicely thought of (meaning advertising of ANA did not get in the way of the kit). Giving it a 10/10 score! ^_^
November is finally here! We are just about two months away from our awesome GPH Christmas Party! And to spice things up! GundamPH would like to present to all of you our very own Gunpla contest dubbed as “GPH Builder’s Challenge“. Every member is invited to join the challenge! Time to show those Gunpla Building Skills that you have. Time to share your awesome works to the community. So what are you waiting for? Come and Join!
The aim of the challenge is to entice or fuel the interests of members of the group to participate in Gunpla Related Contests such as this. Not only they are improving their skills, they are also having fun at the same time. We want to show them how cool the hobby can be. ^_^
1. this is open only to members of the GPH group.
2. WIP must be recent, in other words, present something from scratch
3. first timers are VERY VERY welcome!
4. you will have to attend the GPH Xmas Party so you need to be there
This is for fun only. ZAKU sounds like SAKO in tagalog (native Filipino language). “Sako” for us mean “sack”. So basically you should get the pun! hahah! Anyway, I took the photo of the cardboard gundam cosplayer and placed the sack on top. I know it is corny haha, but just let this bored guy do what he wants hahaha! Enjoy!
Promise! this is the last haul post for this month! Just want to add to our haul section the 5 items that we got. First is the biggest Sangokuden kit that we know, the big scale Ryuubi / Liu Bei. Next is the MIB 1/60 big scale Force Impulse Gundam. Followed by 1/48 Mega Size Char Zaku (with a dented box *sigh*). The small plastic packs are the 12 piece set of the limited weapons set for the regular Ryuubi Kit. And last but not the least, is the Metal Build Freedom which we already have months ago but forgot to post here.
