ガンプラエキスポ 2007


個人的にはクリアカラーバージョンはちょっと変に見える。もしかしたらLEDをいくつ突っ込んだら、もっとかっこよく見えるかも。
ガンプラと言えば、フィギュアエフエムだ。あのサイトは現在英語版にしかないのだが、近日日本語対応になる。
このサイトは元JALのエンジニア、アマゾンのウェブサイトマネージャー、マイクロソフトのプロダクトマネージャーそして現在MIRAI株式会社の社長ダニー・チューが書いているブログです。詳しくは彼のプロフィールでどうぞ。

Personally not a fan of the clear Gunpla. If there is any news of a new PG at the expo, take lots of pictures please!

Hmm... I'm not sure what to make of the clear Gunpla. I would like to see one up close...
Yes maybe it would look better with LEDs inside or maybe flood lit with red, blue and white LEDs. What would be nice is a clear Gunpla with representation of the mechanics inside. It would need to be at a nice large scale as well. Wouldn't you like to display that on your desk at work!
I really want to go to a Gunpla show... Need to take lots of money along too! ^o^

I have always hated clear gunpla. I think its because no matter what, a gunpla can't be 100% clear, which in my opinion would look good.
Hope they release some info about that highly anticipated 100th MG!

I think clear/crystal kits are pretty neat, but they are something I wouldn't want to build all the time.
I havnt done a Gundam kit in about a year because you cannot find any kits within a 50 mile radius (I am near a major US City, Philadelphia). The only real way to acquire kits is to go through stores that import everything Japan, OR go to Ebay and pay RIDICULOUS shipping prices out of Hong Kong (because that is where the majority of good kits come out of).
I've sadly fallen out of favor with Gundam kits because I can't find any that are even 1/100 scale. I am very disappointed that model stores in america do not import these kits, probably due to high prices and a lack of interest. Real shame, Ill go back to working on my ships...

I don't mind clear plastic kits if they have matte finish, detailed guts, and no color. Unfortunately haven't seen any Gundam kits like that. Their usual colored gloossy plasticky finish bugs the hell out of me....

Hey Danny.
I recently discoverd you figure fm site. I have been looking for a cool place to post some shots of my recently built strike pg and I thought it would be appropriate to post it on your site since your beautiful strike inspired me to buy it. But i was faced with dissapointment when i found out i could no longer register :(
Could you make an exception and allow me to have an account on your figure fm site? i would really appreciate it.
And on the topic of translucent model kits, i find them really tackey and fit only for a dollar store.

Hey Danny,
Do you know if Advance of Z is a magazine or a book? Where can you purchase it? I looked online at Kinokuniya here in NY, but they don't seem to have it. : /

Gebera04g,
I think its a series that they run in mags but I could be wrong.
Gunho,

Kirby,
Tequilla Gundam?
Jason B,
I'm working on the DB structure at the moment and cant open registrations until the launch of the new site - it wont be long.
Crim,
I believe they do show conversion stuff.
-XYZPDQ,

Isn't the #100 MG supposed to be announced at this event? I'm pretty anxious to find out what it's going to be. As for clear gunpla...I think from a collector's standpoint they're kinda cool since they're limited editions most of the time. However from a builder's standpoint, I think they're rather bleh. Painting over it totally defeats the purpose of it being clear and yet they look kinda crappy if you don't. I'm finally getting back into building gunpla after almost a decade of not (last Gundam kit I built was in like '99 or something). I can't wait to see what pictures you bring back, and I hope we get some new MSIA and or EMSIA annoucements at this thing. Sure it's supposed to be dedicated to the model kits, but one can always hope.

Sorry for the double post, but I just answered my own question. The 100th MG will be announced a month after this event.

If you really want a bad Model Kit, look for the Clear Endless Waltz Gundams. They are terrible renditions of their non-clear HG counterparts. Since they have nothing inside them, you can see right through. Also, what makes them really bad is that they aren't "crystal clear" they are muted and dull. Check them out, they'll give you a laugh...
