MG Gundam Exia Ignition Mode

Finally MG Exia Ignition Mode has arrive in Malaysia yesterday... all the local store was stuffed with boxes & cartons of Exia normal version and Ignition Mode version. Seems like the first batch of Ignition Mode Exia gonna be selling like hot cakes and would proof to be hard to find after it is sold out here.

Why should we rush to grab one now? Since most of the time local importers tend to hike up the price with the first batch of stock... but this time it wont be the same since Bandai was celebrating their 30th Anniversary of Gundam birth... they decide to give this Exia a premium price which is limited for the first batch of production.

As you can see it is at least 1500yen+- cheaper now, even if our local importers do hike up the price it still wont be 1500yen+- (assuming it would be around RM50+-) more. So those that havent grab it happy hunting.

I have compare the box with the normal version, this ignition mode box is bigger, comes with nicer box-art... and lots of goodies for a price which is RM50 more expensive.

The manual book itself also come in a different cover art and it is also thicker than the normal one.

Stickers for your none Trans-arm mode Exia....I bet that there gonna be a Trans-arm mode Exia later, it is the usual practice of Bandai.

The additional parts:

The damage parts.

The chrome swords and cape

Yeah addtional swords to play with... since i got chrome parts, the original none chrome one are gonna be extra swords for you and your others Model Kits (serve as extra part for modding too)

2 LED included.... havent read where it belongs to... one for the chest GN Drive another for where?

Remember to grab one frm your local shop as soon as possible... before the cheap stock solds out... After that you will have to paid more for the next batch.

SRW Person-Lichkeit & GOO Hiling's Garazzo

Another SRW kit acquired... this time it is the mutant monster looking robot frm the SRW Impact (and also SRWOG series) Person-Lichkeit. Then more HG Gundam OO kit, HG Hiling's Garazzo which is just the same old Garazzo with a different color scheme (rip off frm Bandai).

Oh i also got myself the MG Sinanju Decal... took me some time to get it since most of the online store has sold off their first batch stock within 2 days of launching (this show how hot Gundam Unicorn series is).

Anyway this decal come in two sheet and with the same price tag.

Box-art for Gundam OO kits are getting better and better, they look stunning than their HGUC brother. It wont be a surprise if ppl purchase it just for the box art.

As mention before it is just the same old Garazzo that comes in a different color... so you better think before you buy it.

comparison of box-art.

Person-Lichkeit... a name tat cant be remember by most ppl due to its long and hard to pronounce name.

It is devilish and cool looking.

It has less part and its quite easy to build too... but to make it look devilish it might take a lot of effort.

No time to build them yet... still got lots of unbuild kit and need to start building on my recently acquire 30th anniversary HGUC & SD RX78 Gundam for the upcoming LYN groupbuild. Gonna take some picture of them too soon.

HG Gundam Exia R2 vs Gundam O

Just got my hand on this 2 mecha! Really like the box arts of it and to me this was also my favorite scene in Gundam OO season 2, all i could said is back to the origin with no fancy Trans-Arm and bulky weapons.

Definitely worth a watch... and ever since the Turn A gundam i have never watch any nice close quarter combat in Gundam for 9 years. Hope the upcoming Gundam Unicorn will be a great Gundam Anime series since it is back to our beloved Universe Century!



Lets end this with a video, i will try speed building this 2 mecha as soon as possible! It been years since i did anything like that (last one was my Gundam Throne Eins).

Perfect Grade Red Frame + Koto's Valsione & Grungust Type 3

Wanted to post this earlier but Picasa had to do some maintenance so got me delay... anyway PG Red Frame finally, my first PG. Bought the limited first batch edition that came with the transparent parts and additional weapon.

My biggest Gundam Box ever, nice printing and i guess after the amount i paid, i will have a hard time on deciding recycling it or not?

Malaysia distributor was generous this time to give out additional free gift too, an acrylic base with the Gundam Seen Astray printing on it. Its quite thick as you can see, wonder how much does it cost? Its quite thick as you can see.

Chrome sword 菊一文字 but the darker shader sword part is not really noticeable.... and same goes to the other sword.

So this is how PG hands are like... looks like the Eva arm parts and the MG RX78 leg part i got.

Gundam Seed Astray was the only seed series that i liked, the sequel and also the rest GS series does not attract me at all.

They is lots of power up for Astray Red Frame... just looking at the manual I notice lots of amazing power up and the potential Astray Red Frame can go reach to. Hope they gonno come out with additional weapon pack like the PG RX-78.

My limited transparent parts box.... and the leaflet in it. Will they be a second batch release?

On the same day i also got myself SRW Valsione and Grusgunt Type 3. Ohhhhhh need to control myself this month.... spend too much already.

Valsione is really one special robot model kit. It is like all those Gundam Gal we see online, a robot with a female head on it and comes with flesh and red hair, not to mention the artificial oppai.

Can change face expression like Figma.....

Grusgunt Type 3 another mecha piloted by Mr. Zengar, I am starting to think that Zengar is the most favorable character in SRW. Almost all the mecha he pilots gets Model Kit Treatment and Chogokin treatment first.

The sword is no match with the PG Astray blade.

Lord of the Gunpla: Return of the Gundam

Wow wow wow.... been 2 months since i did anything on my blog! Sorry for no updating and MIA for so long, being working non-stop and OT endlessly for the pass 2 months, having some really tough time.

So finally yesterday i went to my favourite hobby shop AF Hobby and grab all those kits shown above. Seriously it been quite some time since i ever spend so much on Gunpla in a day!

Recently having some serious OO fever! Bought 4 OO HG kits, wanted to grab the Ahead and Mr. Bushido's Custom Ahead too but found out that i have insufficient funds... so had to postpone for next visit.

I kinda of enjoy the season 2 OO Gundam more than the previous one, maybe it is because the story is more exciting and no more over power gundam (except for Gundam OO Raiser). However after the latest episode 14 & 15 I find Gundam is going the Macross way.... Marina Ismail == Lynn Minmay??? Hope it dont become Macross OO instead of Gundam OO.

My precious red color mono eye mecha, MG Sinanju Ver. Ka. The meanest looking mono eye that has ever been turn into a MG. Must get for all Mono-eye fans.

This time it also comes with some extra free gifts, and as the sticker mention it is exclusive to Singapore and Malaysia consumer. But since most of the free gifts from the pass wasnt really that attractive, so i wasnt really looking forward on it.

To my surprise this time the free gift was a metalic red medal with the Sinanju head as a logo while the other side has Neo Zeon logo.

It is quite thick and heavy too, i think the whole thing is made of metal.

I remember on 2007 Christmas we have Gundam Unicorn release, then 2008 Christmas we got Sinanju.... will the coming 2009 Christmas have a MG Kshatriya???

Oh and just like Gundam Unicorn, u get a additional weapon for Sinanju if you pre-order the upcoming novel this April.

Bandai Recycle Plastic Model Kit

Remember an article i wrote last year October? Regarding the Bandai's Trash and Environment friendly...... Guess now Bandai gonna do something on the extra bits of plastics that with leave behind after cutting out all the parts, rejects from factory, extra and unused plastic material.

This aint a limited or special edition HGUC Gouf, this is a recycle material HGUC kit. Picture frm Toysdaily

This is one of the picture taken from HK Gunpla Expo 2008. According to the article next to the black Gouf HGUC kit, they mention that the kits is make of recycle material. Guess this is really are nice thing to do and also settle a lot waste problem.

Wonder if kits made of this material will be cheaper or not? But I am sure that the plastic quality will for sure degrade, maybe same quality like those bootleg kits. Color wise i think it is quite nice and definitely not a problem for pro who has an AB.

Gundam Thrones Eins

Recently I have been playing too much game and causing me to post less on my blog! Which so not good, really got to control myself in playing TF2 and GTA4. So today post is about gunpla which i think i have not posted any since last year when i finish my Hi Nu gundam!

As in the topic today main character is the new innovative design of gundam, Throne Eins, the big bro's mecha of the Team Trinity which got pawn by Mr. Ali.

Recently i find myself addicted to this HG kits, they are small and easy to assemble. U can really built them fast, and even mod them since of their low cost. However, there are also some major cons, that is it lacks a lot of color.

The long riffle that is hold on his shoulder is the part where lacks the most color, according to the original it should come in 3 colors (Just like the one i did) but the original model kit just came with grey color! So conclusion is hell lot of masking and painting.

So like most HG kits a lot of those small minor minor parts are not color and required u to touch up. Like the leg part and those white parts on this kits, almost 80% of this kits white color are required to be painted by yourself.

You guys should have notice that the pink color on the kits are directly frm the sticker. I just cut the pink color frm the sticker it came with leaving out the rest of the color that came with it, this not onli make it look better, it also make ur job easier.

I also added on some water decal and for ur info those are original Bandai make water decal not third party ones.

The backpack is also really cool and can be connected with its 2 sibling mecha.

I did mention it is an innovative design for gundam right in the starting, i nvr saw any gundam has such sexy legs besides Turn A before. Really some ppl might said there look like chicken legs but to me it is something new for gundam and also cool compare to those skinny leg that OO gundams have.

So this is all for Thrones Eins, i will be starting my Thrones Zwei right after i finish my Alteisen 1/100. Similar to this Eins a lot of color is not included so i also feel a bit lazy..........will update u ppl ASAP.
