Hey Danny Nice Pics the RX-78 with the open parts to see the insides looks very cool ^^ Hope to see more mecha pics & Figures or any other interesting stuff there (Like Maybe RC toys, Trains etc)
Great pics! Some really cool models there, especially a couple with great paint jobs. Can't say I like the pearly effect on the PG Wing Zero Custom. Looks horribly plastic under that light. Loved the Freedom piercing Destroy's chest though ^^.
I would never get bored of gundam making, the actual anime though I sometimes get bored watching. Great pics, especially the SD Gundams which look great for their size. I saw some of my own gundams in the pics, great seeing them as I just pass them sometimes without even glancing at them. Can't wait for that nose bleeder figure ;p.
So many RX 78, though it doesn't matter I like them anyway.
*Looks at HG Blu Duel* I wish I can paint my 1/144 kits like that. >.
woo hoo! i have the Zaku MG in the second photo. put it together like more than 6 years ago...i think. didn't get the chance to paint it though. it's now stored away somewhere.
Really nice pics Danny~ And your wish for GFF Musha Gundam came true too :-)
Gah! Sooo...much stuff! Destroy looks better than the promotion pictures but it still lacks internal frame. I would get akatsuki, but I already have the cosmic region version. What is the size of the strike freedom and destiny with those docking bay? Man...I so want those holders...I was thinking about scratch building one for my PG Strike. The Wing Zero looks decent enough, but the gundam was totally battle scarred in Endless Waltz so it really doesn't fit the pearl version. I wonder if they fixed all those stupid joint problems on the frame though...mine can't even stand up on it's own even without the wings... IT'S A GOLDEN SAVIOUR! AHHHHH! They totally did that on purpose.
GOUF CUSTOM!!!!! u sure know how to make me happy :D
PenPen, Gouf is so cool. Would like to see it in another color than blue. Ken, Those are HCM Pro's Ngee, I knew it when I saw the illustration - was too obvious ^^;
Ooo, is that a Shin Matsunaga Ver.2 Zaku High Mobility? Musha Gundam looks crazy big, wish we could have seen the Psyco Gundam. Is that new RX-78-2 MG just another color variant? Kinda looks like what the Gundam would look like in Full Armor colors, but no extra equipment. Wish Bandai would get on making MG's for other series, would love to see some MG's from V Gundam or X Gundam.
the wing katori custom is totally awesome thanks for the pics danny.
I was actually really impressed with the HCM-Pro Akatsuki Full Set. I thought that it was neat that the DRAGOON trails can also be used as a display stand. That Super HCM-Pro RX-78-2 looks cooler than more I see it. It's a shame that I can't afford to buy it. I still don't have an RX-78-2 in my collection and I've been a Gundam fan for about 8 years now... :) That Desert Colored RX-79[G] Gundam looks awesome too. LOL I think it's funny that the BB Senshi Stargazer Gundam is the best looking version of the Stargazer Gundam to me. Great pics as always Danny. I can't wait for your report on the other mecha stuff, especially those 2 awesome Kotobukiya SRW OG kits that they had at that event. Hopefully you can give us the dish on those 2.
@Space Cowboy That RX-78-2 Gundam is ver. 1.5 in Katsumi Kawaguchi-produced color specs. It's the first in the Bandai Hobby Pro-Shop series to be released this August. It reminded me of the special edition ver. 1.5 in red instead of black or blue with the same decal set.
Questions to everyone*: What are the qualities of Gundams that make you (still) attract to it? If these toys took another form, such, for example, a bird or a dragon, with the same quality that the Gundams are made of, will you still buy it? Why or why not? Why are Gundams so aesthetically pleasing and entertaining? *These are just questions out of my curiosity. Please don't be offended.
unlike the last one, this is the shit i'd like to see on my shelves....ha gundam it, i'm buying it
love photo 9216. Is it really that big? or is that just a closeup shot? I'm leaning more on the former. I'm not that fond of gundam figures but I do know a good figure when I see one. With regards to tangey's question, I can't really say. I'm not a fan. heheh
hi danny! i see a pic with 3 chromed gundams.the savior,strike freedom and destiny. Do you know what scales are they? are they HCM pros or 1/144?
wow thats soo kool .... sadly i bought the pg of char aznable's zaku and i think this one is better becuz de pg of de zaku isn t that good becuz dey don fit well .. guess de new master grades are betta .... awell the gm and gelgoog and de black rx78 looks relli gdd!
Awesome coverage Danny, one question is that RX-78 a future model kit? Cause it's really awesome with all that mobility.
@the blind fool Those are 1/144 HGGS (High Grade Gundam SEED) special coating model kits, if memory serves. But there are a good number of stuff displayed in the Shizuoka Hobby Festival that were for display only like the BB Senshi Astray Gold Frame so I'm not sure if these would roll out as regular merchandise. @CrazyAnimeTuga I think the RX-78-2 you're talking about is the Super HCM Pro RX-78-2 Gundam which is at 1/144 scale with the detail and articulation rivaling that of the MG line. ^_^
Now i know why most of the older gundam fans prefer the original series, not the SEED; compared to those from UC, CE mobile suits look too... well, smooth. Too clean, an example being the Blu Duel.
woah 45 minutes? the things you do for your readers. ^^ congratulations on another set of awesome pictures Danny.
Oh man, gundam galore. Gets me excited whenever i build one. You know what, imma go order me one now. A MG
I'm not a really big fan of Gundam, but I do like the Gundams models**!* OMG, I
Love Gundam Mechs, esp. the GUNPLA MG lines of each model being improved from the last. It kind screams to the modeller.. "Buy me!"
cool kits and cool pix ... like the SD stargazer, hehe! Actually, I like everything I see there ...

danny i just cant get over the detail of your gundams it just amazes me so i would like to know if you had something like a book or website to teach you how to paint ur gundams or if it just came naturally. ps i love ur gold blue and red gundams they are awsome.
Nice...any advance of zeta primrose escape pod?
sigh V.V I wish I could go.. Is that a PG or the MG Strike Freedom? which ever one it is, I want it really badly!! I love Strike Freedom its freakin awesome!!
I don't think I'll ever get tired of Gundam.. Great pictures, I like the Akatsuki.
