Bandai Master Grade MBF-P02KAI Gundam Astray Red Frame Kai English Construction Manual

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.

Iron Man 2 coming this May

I am soooooo watching this… I liked the new way Tony Stark puts on the Iron Man suit… the original method looked like it was skimmed off of the Starcraft 2 trailer but was equally cool-looking as well. According to the trailer the movie is going to be shown on May 7.

RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Construction Manual

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)

Master Grade MSN-06S Sinanju Ver Ka Titanium Finish English Translation of Construction Manual

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

Transformer Toys on Sale at HLJ

Transformer Toys on Sale at Hobby Link Japan

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.

MSM-07S Z'Gok Char Aznable ver Color Guide

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)

Master Grade RX-75 Gun Tank English Translation of Color Guide

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.

HGUC Kshatriya Translated English Manual

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.
