This is the buzz lately coming from the Model Comprehend (MC) SD Line. They are known to produce their own versions of Bandai models. Their last SD Model was Nightingale which turned out really good! Now, I am looking forward to have one of them EX-S Gundoom. It looks really awesome on pictures. Also this will be a nice addition to my collection since I am planning to display this SD EX-S Gundoom beside my MG EX-S Gundam…
Below are some official images coming from their website.
Just want to share to you guys a little list (top 10) I created about some of my favorite Master Grade Gundam model kits. I would have loved to list all of my MG kits, but to be simple let us keep it to 10 hehe. Anyway, just so you know I am only including kits that are already displayed on my cabinet… Meaning I am not including my UNBUILT kits yet since I need to have a kit reviewed first (or somehow have a feel of it) before liking it in the first place, right???
Anyway, I am writing this while at the office (don’t worry, it is break time so it is ok) so pictures 9 of the pictures are courtesy of Dalong and 1 came from HLJ. Credits to the owner of the pictures!
My Top Ten MG Gundams for June (since I started collecting Nov last year) in no particular order
This is a review of my snap-built SD Strike Freedom Gundam, from the popular TV series Gundam Seed Destiny. Got this kit from Toys ‘R Us for 450 PHP – not a bad price for a store owned by Robinsons :). After building the SD Destiny Gundam a few weeks ago, I had to get my hands on its rival. And even though the SD Destiny is a newer release, this one has turned out to be a LOT better.
They call it Gundam DformationS. Pretty much an SD figure to me. I bought this at Toy Kingdom for 375 php. But I checked online and it seems to be priced at $23.99 (1,041 php). A nice buy because it costed me less than half the original price. We are fans of any kind of SD Gundam. Sooo cute! – what my GF always say. Anyway, this is a toy/figure like those SD Archive that I have. “Blast Impulse” is one character I am really not aware of. I checked on gundam wiki and he does exist. LOL for me. My excuse is that I never even started watching SEED yet… not soon.
Because it is raining hard today and there is not much to do, we decided to created speech balloons for our Gundam Pilot and other related characters… We were able to create 3 haha. See for yourselves. Presenting Amuro, Char and Haro! Planning to make more soon when we feel it. GF is the one making the cardboard designs. Hehe hooray for a wonderful work by my hunnie 🙂
Well, I want to share with you guys how I do build my kits… We all have our own preferred ways to build a GUNDAM, here is mine. Maybe you could share to us how you build yours. Painting is another story, but opinions about that is mostly welcomed.
I will showcase here my work area, what tools I use and how I take pictures of my Gundams.
Work Area
I always use extra lights… it helps me (and my eyes, not that I need glasses) to see what I am doing. It is a good practice too because you work on small stuff. I have 2 of them as you can see.
I just sit on a small chair enough to level with the small table.
The white cartolina serves as a background for taking WIP pictures and for photoshoots. (WIP = Work In Progress)
This is a snap-fit review of the 1/100 Astray Mirage Frame Second Issue. A few days ago, I posted a poll on the facebook page regarding which kit to build and Astray Mirage Frame won. The kit, though only an NG seems to be really good IMHO. Also, I love the psychedelic color scheme. For me Gundam Mirage Frame seems to be a combination of evangelion, transformers and gundam… 3 characters molded into one model kit haha.
Here are some pictures of the kit… It is not very “photogenic”, you really need to see it personally to appreciate.
Today I was able to get my hands on a pre-owned MG EX-S Gundam which is already custom painted. The MG EX-S Gundam is one of the Gundams in my list, though I never really imagined I will get a pre-owned one because I wanted to experience the so-called Nightmare of EX-S. But it is hard to let this opportunity pass me by. Kit was previously owned by a buddy in the GMAC group (thanks TAM!). Anyway, for you guys who have not seen the kit, I took the liberty to take some photos. What a good month June is for me, it is raining GUNPLA for me…
The EX-S now has a faded purple color. Other colors were faded as well to match the scheme. The backpack was originally black/grey, now it is a mix of faded purple and white which turned out nice. I loved the metallic red colors!
I have here an out of the box review of SD Archive God Gundam, he is number 3 in the SD Archive series. So far I only got series 3, 6 and 7. SD Archive versions of Gundam are rare nowadays, I was just lucky enough to get a few from my gunpla source. So far I am really happy with this kit or toy, whatever you want to call it. But this one is already built so I would prefer to call it a figure/toy.
After getting some ordered kits at Greenhills, we headed straight to the Toycon 2011 held at SM Megamall’s Megatrade Hall 1, 2 and 3. So many people came and many stores participated. It was really a crowded event and looking for something to buy became quite a task. But overall it was nice though we had to leave early because of an appointment with my dentist.
Anyway, here are some pictures.
*warning – more Gundam pictures less figures and other toys*
there was a 2 day ticket but we bought only the 1 day ticket
