Enough said. And the plushies do look pretty big!

So the Kanden Yamaneko plushie does exist, and its made by Cospa no less. Its not fair, I was just about to do some planning for my upcoming budget and Bjorn has to show me this. I can either get the Fate plushie or this, but a voice in my head keeps saying “both, both, both”. And worse of all, the voice sounds like Nana.

Shit, I am hearing Yukarin’s voice too. And it sounds like Seppuku Kurousagi.

I’m so screwed.

GAMLIN! KIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!

Just got some news from a good friend that Yamato is releasing a YF-21 repaint, in the form of Gamlin’s VF-22. Now this may not seem like much, but I think Yamato has gotten the license to do their own line for Macross 7. That means Max and Miriya’s own VF-22s and of course, Barasa’s VF-19 Fire Valkyrie. This is also further reinforced by news from Macrossworld that Yamato is going to do a lot of non-VF-1 repaints in the coming year. *keeps fingers crossed*

Ever wondered where Seven Arcs got the inspiration for my wife’s Bardiche Zanber?

After more than a year of waiting for something concrete, Bandai has decreed that their Soul Of Chogokin Daizengar and Aussenseiter (I still refuse to spell it ‘properly’) set would be released in the month of June. Looks like a scratchbuilt larger Zankantou is in order. My wallet weeps in pain and joy. Damn the high exchange rate.

So I finally finished off this kit. Despite what I said in my preview, I did not like the kit one bit once I got down to building it. I don’t really want to say what I really think about it because it involves a lot of expletives and none of them are positive related. I’ll be truthful. There were times that I thought the best place for this kit was for it to take a flight to my wall.

Took a lot of liberties with the kit like the positioning of the flashes and colour of the gunpod.

More pictures after the jump.

And my Shugo Chara collection grows. (Notice how much Batsu Dia I have)

Over the AFA weekend, I got a mail from Mike that my pre-order of the (bear with it) Bandai 1/72 VF-25S Messiah (Ozma Colours) had arrived. I had given up my pre-order of Hime-sama’s VF-25 for this baby. Reason? The Jolly Rogers. As a child, I was fascinated with the yellow and black colour scheme on the tail fins of their aircraft. Heck, even the F-14 and F-18 kits I have are associated with the Jolly Rogers. So, Ozma’s unit it was.

I will be doing what is known as an inbox review, meaning that I will be giving my impressions on what I think of the kit before I start building it.
