Finally got my hands on this limited edition Gundam. I spend 60 bucks on this and work at it for a day. Looks good and certainly nice on my table top.

A little disappointed that I could not get hold of the sg50 RX78-2 Gundam but was happy that I could get up close to the gigantic gundam outside Ngee Ann City. The stock they had was very limited and not much choice to chose from. Finally got over to Toys R us to get the bear guy for my daughter for her first Gunpla. Hope that she will like it.  

As promised last week that I will visit the Gunpla Exposition 2014 at Bugis+, here's my report. Well similar to what we had last year but on a different venue this time. Gundam is celebrating 35 years of Gundam era since the first Gundam anime started way back in 1979. I couldn't remember which Gundam anime was that but it was one of the questions asked by the emcee and the contestant got the answer right. I didn't have the courage to answer any question for fear that I might not be able to give the right answer else you would be able to see what is in the Goodie bag they are giving this year. Maybe next year I would, just have to wait and see. Ok here are the photos, enjoy.     Some familiar Gundams you see here, can you name any of them?   I must say that this year's Gundam girls were disappointing. They should have at least invite the Japanese they had last year. The Singaporean models simply can't make it.     Finally, the MechaCosplay...

My first year visiting this convention as I don't really fancy this kind of things but somehow or rather I was determined to make a trip this year and since its holiday I made the most of it. The entry price to the convention was pricey, at 19 bucks it seems like it would turn down a lot of people on a tied shoestring budget. I spent 38 bucks to get both me and my wife in but luckily kids go free. My girl was fascinated by the beauty costumes of the cosplayers and I thought they really did a decent job posing as the real life version of the characters. However, I was about to nitpick a few of those lesser ones who by the first rule of thumb should not pose as those characters because of a bursting waistline or incomparable skin tone, making a mockery of themselves and shame on the characters they portray. (I did not even try to take any picture of these epic failure) Next week I will be visiting the Annual Gunpla exhibition at Bugis+, stay tuned for another exciting ...

Here's my much awaited Gunpla 2013 review. This event was held at Nex serangoon this year. The moment I stepped into the exhibit hall, I was immediately greeted by the two Gundams from the Unicorn series, Banshee and Unicorn. The giant human size Gundams guarded the entrance of the Gunpla venue.  I immediately went to take a look at the gundam models and this year the focus was on the two Seed series, Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny and also Gundam Unicorn. Fans will be pleased to know that the Gundam Unicorn final episode will be aired in Summer next year.  The Gunpla 2013 also feature competition of Gunpla fan made models which are showcased together with the authentic ones. I did not have the results of which model winning because the results were only released the day after my visit. There is also a custom made minion gundam, cute right?  Finally, I also got a chance to meet the "Gundam girls". Well, two models in Bandai ...
