Upcoming : Kotobukiya Hexa Gear Bulkarm Alpha
More Hexa Gear goodness from Kotobukiya. This time in the form of Bulkarm Alpha, a powered armor unit. Being a sucker for powered suits, I think this one looks particularly badass. It’s not cheap though @ 6,264 JPY without the Governor (their name for the pilots). More pictures on Hobby Search....
Upcoming : P-Bandai HGUC EWAC Jegan
P-Bandai is a double-edged sword. For one thing, it gives Bandai a chance to issue obscure subjects. On the other hand, these are sometimes the more interesting subjects but are hard to get your hands on. This is one of them. This is coming in February 2018 @ 3,240JPY. More pictures at Gundam Kits Collection....
Upcoming : Wave 1/72 VF-4
This was a surprise since the VF-4 is one of the more obscure valkryries from the Macross metaverse. It’s also a surprise it’s coming from Wave since as far as I know, only Bandai and Hasegawa has the 1/72 kit licenses for Macross. In any case, I hope to see more pics soon. Pictures of …...
Upcoming : AK Interactive ‘Real Color’
AK Interactive has just announced a new line of paints. This time it’s an ‘acrylic lacquer’ based paint line. What does mean though? They have posted up a video about it on their YouTube channel: The Modelling News has a nice write-up on this new product. What’s interesting for me is this quote: These colours...
Upcoming : Kotobukiya HMM Storm Sworder
Kotobukiya has announced the EZ-029 Storm Sworder as their next HMM release. The colors out of the box is monotonous but I think it’s a good canvas for some striking color schemes. I hope parts breakdown makes it easier to paint though. Not sure if the clear base is included but this looks good. This …...
Upcoming : Bandai PG 1/72 Millenium Falcon
I’ve heard rumblings of this and was surprised that it wasn’t announced at Shizouka 2017, but here it is after all. Bandai has labeled it as ‘Perfect Grade’ which means it’ll probably include all the bells and whistles, including the light-up bits. Based on their Star Wars products so far, this will be a...
Upcoming : SOC Dancouga Renewal
This is quite a surprise. Bandai has announced the Renewal version of the Soul of Chogokin GX-13 Dancouga. I have the original DX Chogokin Dancouga from the 1980s and this one runs circles around that one in all sorts of ways. This Renewal version looks to be more anime-accurate compared to GX-13. Looks real good. …...
Upcoming : Max Factory 1/72 Soltic Big Foot
Max Factory is finally releasing the Big Foot from the anime Fang of the Sun Dougram, which is one of my favorite designs from the series. To be honest though, I really paid more attention it after it appeared in Battletech, where it was called the Battlemaster. This was one of the designs FASA appropriated …...
Upcoming : Hasegawa 1/72 VF-1J Siegfried
This is coming in June and the boxart has been released. All I can say is…. FWAH!...
