Upcoming : Hasegawa Crusher Joe Fighter 1
It’s about time I say! Back in the 1980s I had the 1/144 Takara release and of course, I wrecked it by painting with Tamiya markers. Since this is from Hasegawa’s Creative Works line, it should be quite nicely detailed. Plus it’s in a nice 1/72 scale to boot. Can’t wait for the actual finished …...
Upcoming : Super Minipla Beast King Go-Lion
Official pictures of this upcoming toy/kit are now online. Each lion will be packaged in its own box with weapons and a stick of chewing gum. They can then be combined into this 18cm tall Super Robot. The proportions of the individual lions look off to me but Go-Lion itself looks brilliant. And it seems …...
Upcoming : Bandai 1/72 B-wing Starfighter
Bandai has released official pics of their upcoming 1/72 B-Wing Starfighter. This finally completes the 4 Rebel Alliance Starfighters in 1/72 scale. This will uniquely feature a Sullustan pilot figure and ‘glowing’ exhaust parts with an optional LED unit. Another unique feature is revealed if you clicked onto the announcement...
Upcoming : Good Smile Company Moderoid Godmars
This was unexpected but very welcome. A new Godmars model kit is coming! It looks like there will be part swapping involved depending on what mode the modeler wants to achieve. It’s simpler and probably more sturdy this way as it will feature a lot of articulation. This is coming in August @ 7,500JPY. More …...
Forever a Toys R Us kid
Ah well, the other shoe has fallen. Toys R Us will be closing all its US stores with the intention to sell all the ones overseas. They previously shuttered 180 stores in the US and all its British stores but alas, too little too late. Even though I didn’t live in the US until my …...
Upcoming : Wave 1/72 VF-4 Lightning III
Final product pictures have popped up on the internet and it looks good. But it’s a Wave kit, which based on my experience usually means the plastic would be softer, the molding would not be as sharp as Bandai or Hasegawa and there might be fit issues. Still, I’m glad someone is finally tackling this …...
Upcoming : Bandai Deep Striker
Just… wow. Bandai did it. I’m sure it’ll sell and not get built after people realize how big it really is. Coming in March 2018 @ 20,000 JPY. More pictures on Gundam Kits Collection....
Upcoming : KASL Hobby Eggplane Weapons
I’m surprised it took this long for someone to come up with these. More pictures here and here at the KASL Hobby Facebook page....
