Well, plenty of you saw photos of the full-scale Gundam during the day. But how many of you saw photos taken during the evening? Not so many. No problem, you’ll find awesome night-time photos of the full-scale Gundam below.
Didn’t really know that the statue lights up at night. Makes you think that the Gundam may be real. Maybe.
It’s finally finished. A full-scale Gundam now stands tall in Japan ready for photos for Gundam fans to drool over. Too bad Japan won’t keep it up for long since they plan to take it down by August. If the Gundam is real, then I guess it’s safe to say don’t mess with Japan.
The latest high grades too come out from the Gundam 00 series are the Garazzo and the Susanowa too great looking kits i might add! The box art is unbelieveable drawn by famous illustrator CARAMEL MAMA aka Naochika Morishita. If his art looks familiar you might recognize it from the Bloody Roar fighting game series or the Rangers Strike illust cards!
It’s not everyday that you see an anime retailer attempting to assist customers on learning how to build a basic Gundam model kit. Anime Otaku Depot LLC recently uploaded a video on YouTube for gunpla beginners. In the video, the person discusses what he believes beginners would need to know about the gunpla hobby.
The kit he uses in the video is the 1/100 High Grade Gundam Wing 0 from the “Gundam Wing” series. He shows the basic tools that most gunpla enthusiasts would recommend and describes the use for each one. Next, he explains some basic steps including confirming all parts are included, how to remove parts, and how to apply stickers. He also mentions about panel lining and shows a brief comparison between a part that has panel lines and one that doesn’t.
The video isn’t in great quality but it’s one of the few that doesn’t have random music playing in the background while a gunpla hobbyist build or details a kit. However, it doesn’t include the person building the Gundam Wing 0 in real-time but if you built a Gundam kit before you’ll probably believe it’s not necessary. The video is quite easy for newcomers to understand and may even motivate giving a gunpla a go.
Bandai Entertainment has informed retailers that the release of Mobile Suit Gundam OO DVD volume 1, in both regular and special edition versions, has been delayed from June 16 to July 21 to allow for the correction of a manufacturing error.
