Yup, just yesterday news on 2 new Sangokuden kits are found online.
With their release stated as next year, perhaps a Part 4 is confirmed?
Or is Part 3 still a bit more from finish?

Bandai always loves to release nice gunpla in the last quarter of the year. And here’s my list of the drool-worthy gunpla that caught my attention:

Master Grade Blue Frame 2L

The original was good, but of course, any Master Grade treatment for any 1/100 NG kit is always much, much better. Not to mention, I like the Astray series (except for the current one) better than all the anime designs.

So the 49th All Japan Plamodel Hobby Show just ended last weekend.
The tsunami was let lose and I found myself drowning in a sea of new releases (kinda the 2nd time this year). The post came pretty late as I am busy with other stuff (and I’m kinda dry and out of the water now).

Oh well, as usual its the SD Gundam kits I want to talk about..

I’ve always liked some of 00’s designs since it came out, but this original piece is quite nice, actually. So much so that I just had to blog about it!

The 00 sefer concept was cool, and the color scheme followed Sefer’s. Also, I like the mods on the binders as well as the leg orbs. Looks like some limiter or inhibitor or something.

More pictures over here!

Its coming.
The XN Raiser conversion kit, its coming on the 25th next month with the October issue of Hobby Japan.
Ok, this post will kind of recap on this furoku kit and talk about 2 interesting fan variations (8 swords? 13 swords?) involving the XN Raiser design.

Work’s been quite busy for me. Here’s a quick update:

- Lia’s getting married. Wow. At her age, she should. Congratulations to her and her hubby, along with the kid in tow. =D

- Several people I know around the blogosphere are either planning to go or going to either Nana’s, Yoko Kanno’s, or both concerts. INSANE AMOUNT OF MOOLAS EXPECTED TO SPILL.

- I call dibs on blog + bonkurasu. Type out www.bonkurasu.com and it’ll redirect back here. =D (You girls know who you are.)

- Here’s some updates with regards to Daicon; I’m too lazy to eleborate on the entire thing, but it’s about the lighstick call routine for Minorin.

Quick update on the gunpla and chogokin from this month, but first up, is the Chogokin segment.

Yes. The above is a Transformable Chogokin variant of Mazinger Z with God Scrander, transformable into Big Bang Punch mode. I was half-expecting a Chogokin version when Bandai announced a kit version to be out sometime in August. Now that the pictures hold truth to my expectations, well done.

16cm tall. Late October release, 9,240 Yen (inclusive of tax).

More pictures on the God Scrander Mazinger Z Chogokin and other revoltech news over here.
