    Incidentally, there are 1/12 scale goblin sets out there that would go along well with my warrior and also the 30 Minutes Sisters line. The sun actually broke through the fog today, so I used the precious window of sunlight to take a couple of pics of my completed 30MM mech: I still have a grip of kits and parts, so I'm gonna put together a more generic/militaristic looking one next.

    Loving the retro box art.

    If you saw this inconspicuous looking box in a store, I bet you wouldn't know it contained a Master Grade sized knockoff of a Real Grade God Gundam kit: From my brief inspection, it looks like the color pallete of the RG God Gundam was accurately copied and the plastic is of good quality. Looking forward to a good build session.

    My goodness, a manga based GitS anime AND a new Patlabor show. What year is it again?

    Pardon me, I never did forgive Hot Rod

    Yep, and apparently robots like to guzzle down tankards of ale: That's a very cool promotion. I would totally bring my kids there if the nearest Hobbytown was within striking distance. My fighter got a promotion to a Warrior from a cheap option kit: With some panel lining and a couple coats of matte finish, these 30MF kits look pretty dang cool. They're relatively cheaper than other build-a-figure kits and the line doesn't seem to be slowing down - I'll definitely be keeping an eye on them.

    I will get this for the Hot Rod figure. To make him feel the guilt.

    Saving my pennies now:

    HOT GENERAL's 1/100 scale Kratos figure is coming soon: It's definitely GM based, a GM Type C maybe? I guess it could also pass as a White Dingo member from the Dreamcast Gundam game. Looks good, but those rifles have to go. They look way too much like real guns.

    Looks nice, looking forward to any new labor designs they may have in store.

    Thanks gents! And Bolt, in your quest for cool kits, also check out an offshoot of the 30MM line, the 30 Minutes Fantasy kits. Instead of mecha, 30MF kits use classes of fantasy characters like warriors, knights, and mages. I didn't pay much attention to them until I saw one on sale and bought it on a lark: This guy is whole head taller than the completed 30MM mech at around 6 inches, and would be in good company with the average 1/12 scale action figure. I had fun building this "Rosan Fighter", and it's given me good practice with panel lining. Gotta love the dad bod on this guy.

    Time for some necromancy. I've been recently gifted with a tall stack of 30mm kits; a friend is reducing his backlog and is in turn increasing mine. The 30mm line has been steadily growing for the past few years and some of the custom designs I've seen from the huge selection of available parts look outstanding. I opened up a couple of kits and started playing around with them: The head is from the Kotobukiya Modeling Goods line, and I still have to paint it. I had to do some mods to make it work though, Koto's heads attach differently than the stock 30mm heads. I totally dig this head, it looks like something from a 90's arcade game. I think I'm a 30mm fan now .

    That area is just rife with shops like that. For the past few Thanksgiving holidays, we've been visiting family over there and the Black Friday sales I run into always end up with me with a full loot bag - good times!

    Great show, I just can't get past one thing: Otherwise, I was riveted and I like how the main themes from the novel were kept intact.

    Robot 4 Less might restock it. I've been a customer of theirs online and at their shop in Fullerton - no complaints whatsoever. Aliexpress has a few vendors selling it as well for a considerably cheaper price, but I haven't dealt with them.

    If I was a cheesehead, I'd be all over this thing. If ever a red one is released with gold trim, it just might make the 49er fan in me fork out the cash. Takara must have a lot of faith in the first release.

    I dunno, I love Mospeada mecha, but the forward swept wing Legioss with a strap-on radar dish, decked out in Greenbay Packer colors is not making me sing Lonely Soldier Boy. It's such a weird choice for a first release, but I truly hope this line takes off.

    FAT CAT released an upscaled Real Grade God Gundam to 1/100 scale, along with some effect parts that are seen in the RG's Expansion Set (sadly, no horse): The original Master Grade needs a 2.0 upgrade, and this may just fit the bill.

    For the 30th anniversary of Front Mission, is Kotobukiya going to release a definitive Zenith wanzer figure? Nope, they are going to imagine it as big-boobied blonde anime chick :

    There's only one Robin Hood:

    I cannot recommend the Entry Grade kits enough to anyone who wants to get into gunpla. The parts can simply be pushed off the sprues and the color separation is nice. I built the Nu which looks great right out of the box. It just doesn't have the fin funnels though.

    Exclusive Pizza Hut China Gundam Universe figures: I would love for Gundam collaborations like this to hit the US. I would totally buy a Waffle House Master Gundam.
  24. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Getting back into gunpla with an out of the box build to get my feet wet. RG Aile Strike is fun to pose with just a couple of finnicky spots. Gotta love the engineering on this kit.
