English Construction Manual for the recently released Master Grade Gundam Astray Red Frame Kai from Gundam SEED vs Astray series. Truly a beautiful kit in my eyes. I find it sad though that this version has the tactical arms but no beam rifle like what the non-grade 1/100 Gundam Astray Red Frame has. Then again, I guess it is much better to not have that because you could always just get the beam rifle and shield from the non-grade 1/100 Gundam Astray Red Frame.
I find myself still in the “Gundam UC zone” as I feel compelled to read the manual of the Gundam Unicorn. And of course I couldn’t resist not translating it to English *snicker* I mentioned before that I’m not really fond of the design of the Gundam Unicorn and find myself more impressed with the design of the antagonists mobile suits (Kshatriya, Sinanju etc)
Yep, still in the Gundam UC episode 1 high that left me with enough energy to translate the MSN-06S Sinanju Ver Ka Titanium Finish’s manual to English… hehehe. The Sinanju was the main ride of the antagonist at Gundam Unicorn. Flown by Full Frontal, who heads the Neo Zeon organization known as the Sleeves. The Sinanju hasn’t made its appearance yet in episode 1 of Gundam Unicorn, but boy am I looking forward to finally seeing it in action
Hobby Link Japan just announced that they are holding a sale on Transformer toys. With sales like these on HLJ, my usual recommendation is to come in early, not dilly-dally and check the item out right away. After observing these sales on HLJ for quite some time I’ve noticed that items really get snapped up quickly.
The Master Grade MSM-07S Z’Gok Char Aznable from Mobile Suit Gundam. Suddenly took an interest to the Z’gok after watching an episode in MS IGLOO which featured the said mobile suit. Of course this one belongs to the legendary Char Aznable. The Z’gok is an aquatic mobile suit which specializes in underwater operations. This thing lacks any rifle and bazooka like weapons but makes up for it by having missiles, beam weapons and melee weapons (the claws)
Didn’t really like the design of the RX-75 Gun Tank in the original Mobile Suit Gundam till I saw the MS08th Team and the MS IGLOO 2 The Gravity Front anime series. I guess its really right what they say that if you have no history with an item/person they don’t really mean anything to you. After watching both animes and seeing the significant and heroic parts they played in the Mobile Suit Gundam shows I understand now why it endeared itself to the fans and made itself worthy enough for Bandai to make it into a Master Grade kit. The kit was released last September 2009.
Couldn’t get the Kshatriya out of my mind after watching Episode 1 of the Gundam UC Ova. That first scene where the Kshatriya was seen fighting with some mobile suits was Epic in my book.
