I usually try to write a wee bit about each photo every time I upload gallery pics but if I did that today then you would have to wait an eternity because thats how long it would probably take me to write up this second installment of the Plamo Radicon show as there are 85 pics for you to feast yer mince pies on ;-)
Coming after this will be Part 3: Armored Core, Part 4: Planes, Part 5: SD Gundam, Part 6:Figurines, Part 8:Guns, Part 9:Bits n bobs but not necessarily in that order.
GM Sniper looks really nice even though its a HG.
MG Freedom and Strike MG were probably the center pieces of the booth even though we all knew about em already.
Stargazer was on display looking not that hot at all.
Mobile Suit In Action Sazaby looks surprisingly good but not as good as the Special Finish HCM Pro Sazaby - Im kicking myself for getting the previous one recently. Urgh.
Bandai had a Zak head diorama which was pretty nice. I think there is a scalled down version of Zak's head coming out as a model soon though.
The small retro Gundam kits were sooo cool - would you buy?
BTW, was going to wait until I wrote up the post (my wife took loadsa pics during rehearsals) to let you know that I made a live TV appearance live on Tokyo MX yesterday. But it looks like Roy spilt za beans ^^; Will let you know the nitty gritty details next week.

Great pics. GM Sniper looks pretty good. Yeah, I saw the show from Roy's page. Looks like they didn't know really know how to react with you. Were they telling how to pose through the earpiece you were wearing?

looking at all the picture you've posted, I'm once again turning thru 85 shades of green not to mention, drowning in my own drool. ^^ love the pictures Danny! seeing that HCM-Pro Sazabi makes me want to strangle myself for getting the previous one as well. ^^

Whoa. The Strike Freedom looks awesome! What's with those upgrades on that Strike Gundam? They weren't in the series...

To Alex : Those are the IWSP upgrades most likly orginally fitted for Strike Rouge, you can see them in the openings of Seed Destiny. They alsmo made a small CG vid, where strike uses it against a sword calamity. Try wikipedia for more information. To DannyChoo : NOW this is a post ive beeeeeeen waiting for, stay classy Danny!!

I think what's a bit off on the MG Strike Freedom is the wings. I don't remember seeing any gold bits connecting the DRAGOONs. IWSP Strike is cool man, still deliberating whether I should get it, but one thing is for sure, I'll get a 1/100 Saviour man.

ack. im sold for the dendro vs. neueziel combo kit! also i've noticed that the MG SFreedom here has a "shiny gold finish" for the internal joints - think this would be the one to be used on the "extra option" version???
