  1. Here's a comparison of the 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam kits I currently have. Unfortunately, I don't have the 2001 HGUC kit and I lost my 1990 HG kit. Entry Grade (EG) vs. High Grade Ver.G30th (HG Ver.G30th) ver. High Grade Universal Century Revive (HGUC Revive) vs. Real Grade (RG) Elbow Bend Comparison. EG has no elbow joints. HG Ver.G30th is single-jointed with a 90° bend. HGUC Revive and RG are double-jointed with a bend of over 135°. Knee Bend Comparison. EG has no knee joints. HG Ver.G30th is single-joined with a bend of a little over 90°. HGUC Revive and RG are double-jointed with a bend of over 135°, but the RG extends it further with some armor shifting. Beam Rifle Comparison. EG is a single piece (and molded in blue) with no articulation. HG Ver.G30th, HCUC Revive, and RG have separate yellow pieces for the scope. Only the HGUC Revive has a smaller front handle for easier grip. RG has unique color separation with dark gray and white parts. Hyper Bazooka Comparison. HG Ver.G30th has no articulated handle. HGUC Revive and RG have movable handles, but HGUC Revive has the most swivel distance. RG continues the color separation with white and dark gray parts. Shield Comparison. EG is a single red piece with a long peg connector and no handle. HG Ver.G30th has two different pegs for the forearm and the backpack, but no handle. HGUC Revive has a very tight peg connector and a handle. RG has a movable mount with a handle and a rather loose peg connector on a ball joint. Last Shooting Pose Comparison. RG is just a b*tch to pose for this pic.
  2. Ready Player One is an upcoming dystopian sci-fi film directed by Steven Spielberg, based on the 2011 novel by Ernest Cline (Fanboys). The film stars Tye Sheridan (Scott/Cyclops in X-Men: Apocalypse), Olivia Cooke (Emma in Bates Motel), Ben Mendelsohn (John Daggett in The Dark Knight Rises, Orson Krennic in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), Mark Rylance (Rudolf Abel in Bridge of Spies), Simon Pegg (Scotty in Star Trek [2009], Unkar Plutt in Star Wars: The Force Awakens), and T. J. Miller (Lucas in Transformers: Age of Extinction, Tuffnut in How to Train Your Dragon). The film is slated for release on March 30, 2018. Ready Player One @ IMDb
  3. Bandai needs to mass-produce this. Non-Scale MA-04X Zakrello Scratch Build
  4. Guess I'll go hunt down an HGUC Dreissen before Christmas. As for Zaku III Sleeves, we'll probably see a P-Bandai release within the next year or so.
  5. Speaking of Unicorn, my Byarlant Custom needs a sparring partner. Any recommendations for a Sleeves/Neo-Zeon Remnants MS that's not a Sinanju or a Rozen Zulu?
  6. Some people are just nuts about Jurassic Park that they've modified their Jeeps and Explorers to look like the park vehicles.
  7. Currently on display at The Art of Gundam Exhibition in Roppongi, Tokyo, is a full-size replica of the Gundam's head after being blasted by the Zeong during the Battle of A Baoa Qu. 1/1 Scale RX-78-2 Gundam Final Battle Damaged Head - On Display @ The Art of Gundam Exhibition (Roppongi, Tokyo)
  8. Finally picked it up today. Overall a fun build that doesn't feel like the same RX-78-2 Gundam all over. Despite lacking a Core Fighter, Gundam Hammer, or Beam Javelin, this kit is a lot of Gunpla for such a low price due to its incredible articulation.
  9. When Gunpla goes retro. Photo credit to number2672 (http://number2672.blogspot.com/).
