MG Full Armor Unicorn Gundam Coming Soon?

I was able to read some rumors about an MG 1/100 Full Armor Unicorn Gundam plastic model kit to be released by Bandai… But I am not so sure if this is true. Can somebody correct me on this? I was only able to see some pictures of an MG Unicorn MOD by Takayo04… Below are some of the pictures I was talking about.

Mega Magnifier | Alternative Gundam Building Tool

Have you ever thought that there you need a really big magnifying glass while working on your Gundam? Or maybe you saw one with a stand and lights but is priced too high? Then this magnifying glass is for you!!! Haha, sorry for the infomercial intro… Well I have here a MEGA MAGNIFIER which I found at Toy Kingdom SM Megamall… Well Toys R’ Us have them too but theirs is more expensive… This is a really great tool and toy. 3 words… Big, big and BIG! LOL

SD Gundam F90 Full Equipment | Review | OOB Build

This is a snap-fit build review of SD Gundam F90 Full Equipment. Got this from a sale on Toy Kingdom SM Megamall a few months back. All we could say about this kit is that it needs painting – lot of painting 😦 . Though some of the weapons have metallic color finish that will be OK without modification. It has a lot of parts for its different Gundam F90 forms (4 styles to be exact). An old kit but still easy to find.

 

Here are the pictures. Enjoy!

Bootleg Gundam: Dragon Momoko Taiwan vs TT Hongli China

Recently there is ruckus about this KNOCK OFF / BOOTLEG Gundam Deathscythe EW made by a company named “Dragon Momoko“. It appears that this company is from Taiwan. And rumors says that Dragon Momoko is a subsidiary of Bandai with the goal to eliminate the TT HONGLI knockoff in the Gunpla world. So in short, this is a fight of knock-offs! I wonder what will be the outcome of this…

 

**** Just to be clear, we do not support bootleg kits in general. ****

SD Psycho Gundam 1996 Version | Review | OOB Build

Here is a little snap-fit / out of the box build review of an old school SD Psycho Gundam.  Manufacturing date was 1996. It comes with 2 small figures namely Zeta and Rx-178 Mark II. Overall it is a very nice kit! I recommend it if you find one because it is very hard to find one nowadays. I have not come across a new release of SD Psycho Gundam by Bandai. I hope they will re-release another version because this one is already discontinued — a rare kit which I luckily found on Ebay…

MG 1/100 Char’s Rick Dom Review | OOB Build

Hi everyone! I have here a short review of an out of the box build of MG 1/100 Char’s Rick Dom. All I can say about this kit is that it is BIG! I really love the arsenal of weapons especially the BFC – Big F**kin Cannon! You will see it later. Also, the inner frame details is nice… Shame that most of it is covered by the armor. You will need some armor modification to showcase the nice details of inside. Anyway, let us see the pictures….

 

Warning… picture heavy post…

Pre-Owned 1/400 Gundam Collection White Base

I got here a pre-owned 1/400 Gundam Collection White Base which is in good condition. A little dusty but all the parts are COMPLETE… Also there were some marking of being exposed to flourescent light but its ok, nothing a little paint job cannot do. I already have an unbuilt Gundam White Base which I bought last month but have not time to start snap fitting it. Glad that I could find another one since this is a discontinued kit. It belongs to the Gundam Collection series.

I also got a 1/144 Shenlong Gundam from the same person. This Shenlong is the one that comes with Wu Fei figure.

here are the pictures.
