SD AGE1

Although I still refuse to watch Gundam Age I actually find this SD kit kinda cool!

RG MkII

I remember in 2004... I wa studying at my friend Henry's place. We were having a study break playing the PS2! LOL shows my age doesn't it! He told me I would love a particular game it was AEUG vs Titans. Who would have though that a single video game would put me on the path of model building, collecting anime and of course starting ODU!?

Its interesting that I post on this video game as the star of this thread is of course the incoming RG MKII. MKII was one of the very first machines I learnt to play with for its reasonable affordability in the game costing system, damage and reloadable ammo. So of course I felt obliged to comment about this incoming gem from Bandai.

Coming in April this year! and of course theres the AEUG and Titans version.

If the next lot of RG releases are Zeta Gundam related I would personally like to see Zeta and Hyakushiki or maybe Quebelly or The-O so many options!

Metal Build Freedom

The Metal Build Freedom is on its way! True to the series of metal figures... its made from alloy, 1:100, detailed and of course made of pwnage! I've always had a soft spot for the Freedom range so of course trust me to blog on it! Okay honest and straightforward what do I like about this kit?
Posability.....even upside down true to some of the crazy HIMAT stunts that Kira pulled off in the anime.

Interesting magazine scan re Strike Gundam

The RG Skygrasper is getting released at the end of the month which I am getting for Kenji for his Strike! Anyway I was doing my usual runs at my various sources and stumbled across this neat pic. Could this configuration be debuting in the HD remaster!

This concept however isn't new but to see it animated will be pretty awesome. I'd probably say the scene where he was changing packs every twenty seconds with the end result being the death of Nicol. As some of us will recall a SD kit was sold years ago which had all the Striker packs and the front cover art was of course this,

I started to try find subs of the HD Seed remaster all I can find are the 10 bit ones which dont seem to work on my system. My search is still going on! Perhaps our readers can help on this endeavour?


Edit: 8:35PM I managed to get the 10 Bit videos to work I had to downgrade my version of Windows Media Classic and download CCCP. Ended up working like a gem. This rather interesting pic shows up in the ad break screens!

Otaku Down what.....?

Hello friends its been ages since my last post. Work got in the way and............I got married! I've been a bit of a busy bee and my life's finally settling back down. So what does this mean? I get back onto ODU of course! The crew have been really excited lately because first off the Otakun novel project is now completely in full swing we got a complete plot summary for the first arc and pages of concept drafts!

I may have mentioned this before but because of my grandmother's condition I have completely stopped building models but..... this doesn't stop me from posting the COMPLETE PG Strike Freedom!

After a somewhat stale year of releases Bandai has launched back into full swing offering a variety of RG and MG models including the MG Duel Assault Shroud and the subsequent Seed MG releases coming out to allign with the HD remaster project and the RG Gundam MKII which is under development. The toy I have in mind this year would be a Hot Toys release I am praying for a release of Iron Man Mk7! Cant wait to get back into the engine room....ODU full steam ahead!!!

Supanova 2011 Saturday 19/6/11

I went to this year's Supanova which happened to be my first. Although its not an exclusively anime event it was easily the best convention I've been to in recent years. Firstly the foremost reason being scale it was held at The Dome in Olympic Park which meant that the event would be HUGE. In recent years anime conventions had been depressingly small I am still waiting for the day when they will be similar to scale to the ones in Japan and America... Supanova even!

With a crew of four we tackled the crowds to get into the door which took a good half an hour even with advanced tickets! The funny thing was being Agam's first convention he gave into some serious internal struggling wrapping up the day spending close to $200 in goods. The day for me was just being our teams photographer and liason with the cosplayers so that we can take their pictures without looking like creepy stalkers. I was largely impressed with the cosplay!

What the F is Bandai thinking?!!! Gundam Age looks so FAIL!!!

OMG I cant believe that after my hiatus the first post that I put on the blog is a rant!!! So here we are waiting for a new Gundam series... teased by a very mean looking silhouette then they drop this bomb shell man what is Bandai thinking. The pilots look like they are twelve at the most!

Well at least I wont be investing in Gunpla for this series...more money in my pocket!
