ガンダム

Dayum~!!

Those are some tasty looking Gundams ^^

Nice photos!! Can't wait fpr the figurine sections of the coverages~XD

Wow... nice gundam pictures you have here. I also think that the Unicron gundam is so damn cool especially when it expanded and show up all the pink color parts.

You are so fast ^^. I will post mine later tomorrow.
I still prefer mecha overall, pre-build if can ^^'

oh my, the new MG Infinite Justice! the 3 doms in a basket and 2 acguys in the couch looked cute. but the acguys' scene seem wrong somehow. ^^ the Strike-E real type color looks badas awesome. ^^ thank you danny for the gundam update. ^^

wow some of those look impressive
I've never put together gunpla before...do you paint the parts yourself and glue 'em together or something?

I'm also a Gunpla collector first before became figures collector, I never bought a single Gunpla in more than 3 years (the last one was PG Strike Gundam) since somehow I lost interest collecting them while my figures have growing so fast in past 3 years. But seeing your report now I would like to buy and built the Unicorn.

Wahhhh~
I'm a huge gundam fan... but never really had an interest in collecting the figures.
But After this post I may have changed my mind. They're really nice!

I looooooooove the gundam on the first pic!

i saw alot of those gundams in this month's issue of hobby japan

I love all the gundam pictures here!

WOAH! they must have used some really powerful car polish or something
now that's what i call a gundam fanatic paradise!

Great pics!

Loving that first picture, Avalanche Astrea!

Now that you mentioned Gundam, It's been so long since I built a kit... Next week will be arrival of my SD Gundam Exia kit and SD GP-03D kit also figma kanu. Can't wait to have them...

Wish I could own any Gunpla rather than watching them here. My parents wouldn't allow me to get them. Scare my parents will throw them away when I'm not at home.

I would give everything to be able to create Gundams like those! x_x

OMGZ..
Wish i could be there also ><

I'm a Gundam fan, too. I used to build a lot of the old Gundam and Patlabor kits as a kid. My real passion, though was in the old 元祖SDガンダム kits. Those were the best...^_^

OMG all look so~ooo cool! ^^ whats that red colour transparent-ish (metallic?) gundam?

love watching gundam but havent put my hands on one yet (but I really want to!) ^^; I always look at those modelers webbie and saw many amazing works!

SWEET LEAPIN JESUS!!! I FEEL THE FIRE TO BUILD GUNPLA NOW!!! *opens nearest queued gunpla box in his stack*

Finally a Master Grade from the SEED series. Infinite Justice looks so cool even in grey-scale. lol.
I know what you mean - not having the time for Gunpla. I had the same problem. a few boxes of unopened/unfinished Gundams stashed in a quiet corner back home. They're near retirement.

well - Ive probably been with your website here over 3-4 or more years??? I was also present long before you had the whole user login system. (building your little empire here & giving us users a voice so we can interact more with you, the site & also other users) well - you have definitely moved away from Gundam. I remember back in the day almost 98% of posts were on Gundam related topics. but i suppose after completing the initial task of making the site successful you got bored (perhaps? :P) & decided to seek out alternative news & happenings to blog about. But one of the main reasons i stuck with this site for so long was the Gundam postings - youd post about new/older models & id start making a wish list for my next trip to Hong Kong.

Im no doubt a huge Gundam Fanatic & because the site Meta expontentialy going from Gundam to more Japanese Culture related & other topics I havent posted as much as I would have liked. Even though I do read all your posts & find them interesting (I hope to visit japan soon & hopefuly be able to meet the 'man behind the mask' - yay stormtrooper!) free saki for all!!! Errrrrrr what elso do i want to say???? yeah! i miss the Gundam posts - I know your really busy & keeping up with every area (Echi, Gundam, Culture etc etc) is obviously not an easy job given that you maintain the website in your own time so trying to blend it in with everything that life throws at you cant be easy.

& with this post I think ive been with the site long enough to meet 'Grand Kai' (or OAP) status

'Nuff Rezpekt'

Hayden. - (one of your most commited fans)

Come to think of it... Danny had stop complaining about Bandai taking ages to release its new Perfect Grade...
Glad to see you put up a new Gundam update!

Nice pics, but I'm more into figures I guess

The figures look awesome, but I have never really been into Gundam.

Bout time we had some gundam content, Want the Master Grade infinite justice. Effing hurry up october!

those pics make me wanna get another gundam >_<

word Purgatoreh (spelt correctly of course) is a 'bad word' which has been pick up by the Danny Choo defence net......

(testing parameters)

Dam!!thats alot pictures!! Cant pic my favorite.

The unicorn escaping is quite cool, shame that they didn't manage to recreate the "berserk" feel it gave when it escaped in the animated section they used for the unicorn advert.

And that Modified Perfect Grade Strike Noir is brilliant!!! And I'm not even that big a fan of strike noir!!!

wow the coloured infinite justice is not the to-be-released MG version right but a very good mod right?

due to other commitments, i'm also spending lesser time on gundams now. :-(

i;m not a big fan of gunpla, but looking at these makes me wanna salute Gunotas!!

if Bandai is coming up nicely made Robot Damashi, I might consider a buy.

I have never put together or owned gunpla before, but the pictures look interesting. Nice coverage:)

Ah so you did end up going to Chara Hobby. I also went as well but yet to even look at my photos.

WOW! Very Very Nice!

wow, many nice gundam, i like the 1st one the most.

And it was those Gundam articles that attracted me here to DC.com way before ^____^

I think a lot of those in the models there are actually used for magazine shots; I recall the Astraea x Overflag and Tieren diorama via Ngee Khiong.

hmmmmm gundam 00 series mecha doesnt attracts me. i like the old torso better. the ORb thing in the middle looks like bomberman+gundam. ARGH. and no big wings/back pack for the main mecha. GODAMNIT.

Its just simply stunningly beautiful~

OH MY GHULAY~!
i've just got back 4 hrs ago from a Gundam Exhibit here in my country and this fuels things up again!
Gundams really do own the word "AWESOME".

DO WANT ON THE ASTRIA FRAME~!

I have only wanted one Gundam series. Which was Gundam Wing. So I would love every one of the gundams that they had out for that series. Since I have not seen the others, I don't want em :P

I managed to buy and put together 4 1 to a 100 gundam kits from the Gundam Wing series, but they fell out of fashion in the US before I could get all of them.

The "Gundam modeling tutorial for busy people" was the one that lured me into this site. DC's site is also the reason I got back into gunpla modeling (I switched to Zoids before coming back to gundam). Yea, I really miss the gundam updates from Danny. I learned a lot from here =)

Ah.. I see Khsatriya and Sinanju there..
Hope Bandai will make the MG for them. It would be great! Delta gundam and Geara doga would not bad either.. MS from Unicorn series are awesome..

Currently waiting 00 to storm the MG line up. ^_^

So many Gundams.......
Is that a MG Infinite Justice I see...
I want!!!!!!
I love the details of some of these models...
Just wow!!!!!!

avanlache exia looks sick

I honestly was never a big fan of war stories, which is why I loved G Gundam to death. It was the only Gundam series I watched more than 10 episodes of and liked.

That Zaku is so awesome. I love how they refrence the helmet to German WW2 helmets. Gotta have love also for that beautiful NZ-666 and that MSN-06S. I just love those heavy armors, the Zeon just have different looks than the typical "gundams". So much more design put into there armors while i love the good guys most of the typical "gundams" all look similar. I do love Unicorn though.Great pics Danny, keep the gunamd news/pics coming. I prefer to see and read Gundam coverage over "human" figure news. Im just a Mech head I guess.

Gundams = awesomeness

Great article Danny! I feel reinvigorated. Well, i'm off to buy some more gundam kits.
BTW, can any wise and kind soul tell me what the model is in this pic?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/dannychoo/2810069357/sizes/o/

dont know much about Gundam figures but those are really great *o*

I personally don't care much for Gundams. Never did. They're just not elegant enough for my tastes, I guess.

so many exia's....but good coverage

I LOLed at the basket of doms and the 2 Acguys huddling on the arm chair LOL so adorable!

I'm a gundam fan, though I started visiting this website because of my intrigue in figures. :P

gundams brought me here when i was looking to get the crossbone gundam x-3 in fix figuration! and i ran acrooss ur gallery of the x-2 i belive.. been hooked ever since!
I agree.. haven't had much time for the hobby with school and all, but slowly making more time for it latly as school is winding down. I knew of someboy, not a gunlpa, but a model builder non the less, that he spent a minimum of 2hrs working on his models.. no matter what! it didn't mater if he didn't sleep, he spent quality time with his models.. True dedication!

Gundam is definitely something I can't live without. If I had to give up but one of my other anime otaku type activities, Gundam is what I would keep. I'm sure it is what first brought me to DC.com many years ago. *feeling old*. I understand you not having time Danny to build kits. I'm having the same problem, but I will work it back into my schedule somehow. I enjoy Gundam.

Yesterday I was greeted with a box that contained two of the latest GFFs and an HG I'm looking forward to building. It will take sometime to build... T_T I do wish they would let us see what the new GFF Metal will look like soon. At first I wasn't really impresses with the GFF Metal figures. Now I look at them as the PGs of the GFF line. Wish they would give us a few Zeon suits in GFF Metal...

I'm definitely a Gundam fan. Looking foward to seeing more 00 Gundam figures.

Not really into them but I think they look cool.

Ya, been reading for a while. Do miss a lot of the gundamn posts. It was DC that made me more passionate about the gundams. If you don't have time it's hard to make them. I am fairly busy these days too and don't even have time to maintain my own blog as often as I want.

It would be great if someone posted more gundan related material such as new releases in the member news section.

Gundams are awesome and I enjoy building them. But given the choice I'd stick with figures. That's just me though.

i love my GUNDAM!

Gundam is the best! I still haven't picked it up yet LOL
Wished I start sooner...

I've never seen Gundam believe it or not. I have however seen other mecha shows, so I can understand the whole giant-robot appeal.

I love some of the new Zaku models. I have also been under the radar on Gundam a lot too- the primary reason being a lack of availability then I have a lot of work to do here at the campus. I go out of my way sometimes to build models, though. I am working on a Tamiya 1/35 IDF Merkava right now.

New kits to buy!

<rant>
Anyway I felt pretty pissed when I see that the HG 1/144 00 Gundam doesn't include the shield.
Damn! Makes me think of the time when I found out that HG 1/144 Dynames hasn't got the pistols.

Seems like only the HG 1/144 00 Gundam doesn't have the shield.
The Robot Tamashii, HCMpro, 1/100 even the SD have the shield.
Damn!!!
</rant>

Wow all of those are so well built. I only have 2 gundams built, both suck and busted. First one was because I bought a MG for my first time building, did not end up well...I just sucked at it. The 2nd one I just dropped it and it broke...also possibly due to my lack of skill.

can any1 tell me what the gundam in the 1st pic is?

just got my figma saber this morning and my friend gave me a gunpla as a four month late birthday present... so maybe ill try building it sometime soon... need some pens and spray tho..

neat pics
although i am not a big fan of 00 series, there are some really cool looking gundam
1 question--> whats that gundam on the first picture/ cover?
some modification of exia or astraea?

There is a radio knob each on the 1st gundam's knee... wonder is it used to wind-up the legs for moving.. lol

I'm not a collector but I enjoy assembling, posing, modifying/customizing, displaying etc. them. Wow, some mouth watering gundam pics you got there.

I'll be honest and say I've never actually got into Gundam. Mostly because of the lack of opportunity I had to ever watch a Gundam anime. And now that I can there are so many different Gundam series out there that I have no idea where to start. As for Gunpla I wouldn't mind trying my hand at building some of them. I use to enjoy building models when I was younger.

If anyone has any recommendations for a Gundam anime to watch and/or any Gunpla I can start with please let me know.

I've never been into Gundam figures, probably because I don't understand them (I've led a very sheltered life ^_^). I intend going to the Expo in October at the Excel centre in London, so maybe I will pick up something from there. I enjoy the creative aspect of kit figures, so perhaps I should give these fellas a go - after all, it's only fair!

The teal decals on the unicorn looks interesting.. But I really like the destiny variation pic, pretty good turn-out with the maroon/purple color

I discovered this site because of Danny's Gundam coverage! I'm so happy that Danny has more Gundam news for us evn though it is rare nowadays..
I've always thought that the Gundam section had the least news...

Anyways, I'm always in the loop in the world of Gundam, but my unbuilt models are quickly building dust as I don't have time because of school, but I'll never let others build my models for me even though that they can do a better job than me. There's this sense of accomplishment once you finish a Gundam, and it feels very good.

School is brutal, and I'm lucky enough to have finished painting my Pink Zaku. I still have 5 more years of schooling to go, since I plan on taking up Law... but that won't let my love for Gundam wither, I'll always squeeze time so that I can do things that I love (drawing,gundams and gaming)

Heheheh wildflug, i'm taking up law right now, and i'm still building my kits :P so we can do this! when we're lawyers, we'll have gundam model kits in our offices... hahaha... by the way, the gundam unicorn looks cool, no need to paint it huh?

Nice! Gundam has made an epic return in here. Thanks for sharing.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but unfortunately Gunota has officially closed down. Lost another excellent source for Gunpla information. :/

Infinite Justice spotted. INFINITE JUSTIC SPOTTED!! 8D

+1 Gunpla fanatic right here!

Sad that you seem to have lost interest due to time constraints Danny. Please keep up the Gundam coverage T_T

Gunpla has been always close to my heart, even though my finances don't approve of 'em. I do hope you find time to knock out a kit or two, they're always a surefire good time. :)

That Zaku with all the extra clips and armour?? Is that a custom build or something we'll be seeing available for purchase in future?
Come back Gunota!! Sad, sad news. I hugely appreciated the work you guys did and I'm sad to see you go!
Sorry for all the posts in this article! ^^

Wow all the models look great! I definatly want to get my hands on the OO Gundam and I love the Char's Zaku II iPhone stand.

Wow. Those gundams look cool. especially the one with the pink wings. ^^ Would love to try out doing gunpla but i'm just not good at doing the painting myself. heheh. I wish I had some artistic talent.

MORE GUNDAM NEEDED DANNY!!!!!!

:))
Three DOMs in a basket? How much for a dozen? And do you happen to have a green ones?
:))

I'm not fan of Gundam enough to remember the names of most characters or Gundams ^^; I do like watching the series though, my brother got a hold of the older ones and I like them too =D (I started from Gundam Wing at first).
My brother builds them, but no painting or sanding u_u~ We'd like to try completing a few, but our rooms are too small too even attempt.

Wow, these models are amazing! Gundam 0079 has been my bag since I watched it on Toonami oh, so many years ago...but now I see that there are more people that like it just like me and know way more about it.

my user name says it all :)

I've dedicated a lot of my life, time and money to my interest and adoration of MS Gundam. I'm just about finished with my Crossbone Gundam Ver. Ka (MG), and then plan on working on my S Gundam or Resin FA Gundam Mk.II.

Wow! Finally some gundam coverage!

I was wandering around HLJ and saw the page for MG Strike Freedom Extra Finish version, due for release September, I wonder why it wasn't at the show? Here's the link anyways: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN956892?nav=rss

Anyone have any pictures of it or know anything about it?

MORE GUNDAM POSTS!
hehehe awww thats too bad, I love seen your pictures of gundams. makes me want to buy a few hehehe

very badass designs

Nice ... very nice ...

Gundam 00 Season 2 FTW!!!!!!!!!!!! 00 gundam looks cool with the double solar furnaces and the special trans-am (i think) is ownage also!

Started watching Gundam 00. :D
Now looking at those... solar energy things inside the Exia reminds me of those toys of "Bomberman" with a marble inside it and push the button behind. ahah xD

Has been ages since you posted gundam stuff lol, Tis how i stumbled upon this site. I remember when you were still writing that tutorial thing :P. That was very useful, thanks a bunch!! Hope you find time to finish your Wing Gundam, maybe start building some more! ^^

So is that Exia a master grade...I feel stupid not being able to tell...God I hope it is...

Dear Danny Choo..

You did said the following;

"Now that the readership has changed a lot, am wondering how many Gundam fanatics are out there?"

Well... I can tell you that there are still many Gundam fanatics out here... most of them always add a link of your website into their website/blog...

Gundam... a small market or a big toy universe it is, will surely have their fans as long as BANDAI never stop in making them better and better year in year out... both the anime and the toys/kits...

As for other loyal readers of your portal... I think anything that you posts.. they'll read it anyway...

wooooo, i like those picture superb details, that what kind of gunpla want ^^

I never caught on to the whole Acguy crazy. In Gundam online they'd be entire player-run events that were dedicated to them.

I was building a master grade version of the first gundam but I lost the little red jewel thing on the head... I don't think I can finish this anymore and call it a gundam -__-

As much as I prefer realism and something sensible, those are killer, awesome.

gundam hobby is very time consuming... i've got a heap of unbuilt gundams... can't evne find time myself! i wish i had like a month or so to just harsh work on my gundams... sigh

excellent work..makes me like gundam even more

I am in sheer awe of the mechanical beauty I've just seen...

This is just incredible. So many awesome gundams. I like the shiny red one especially.

Whoa! I just became a noob at plasmo.
Those Gundams are sweet.

Wow, those look delicious.

Hey guys,

I'm a big fan of Gundam, and started collecting the Gundam RX-78-2 models, I want to get them all. From the High Grade, Perfect Grade, Master Grade, Jumbo Grade and so on . . .

I'm doing research on the net, and hopefully I manage to get the information about all the RX-78-2, but if anyone could help me out locating which models have been made that would be really great...

I do live in Japan, so it shouldn't that hard, but I live far in the country hehe...

Anyway, any help would be much appreciated...

Sincerely,
RX-78-2
