Gundam fans in Japan and worldwide really do love their giant robots. Multiple showings of the Life-sized Gundam and a permanent Gundam cafe in Akihabara is not enough so the next logical step is to have a mini theme park! No, that is not a typo. Starting in April fans of the Gundam series will be able...

Being the rabid Gundam fan I am I was disappointed that I was unable to see the Life-sized RX-78 Gundam in Tokyo or in Shizouka. My last chance to see it was when it returned disassembled in the name of charity but I unfortunately missed out on that opportunity too because I wouldn’t arrive in...

Forgive me, I have not been a good anime fan lately and I have hardly been watching any new shows. Of the interesting Summer 2011 anime I listed I have only watched a couple episodes of of Blood-C. I am not sure if it’s a lack of time or  that the recent series have not been interesting enough...

My write-up on the third episode of the ongoing Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn series is extremely late. Since returning from Japan I have rewatched the episode and had the opportunity to enjoy it all over again. It is very satisfying in a Gundam episode chuck full of battles and episode 3 was full of...

More than two years after making it’s debut the life-size Gundam is returning to Tokyo, well at least pieces of it are. It wowed crowds as they flocked it when it was revealed in Shiokaze Park in Odaiba and got a beam saber upgrade for it’s Shizuoka debut but now it will be displayed...

After 10 months on on and off building I have finally completed building my 1/100 scale Unicorn Gundam. I have been tweeting progress shots for what seemed like an eternity as this model takes the prize as the most complicated Gundam kit I have every completed. The model was sponsored by Hobby Search...

Details have emerged about the next Gundam series. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE will be the newest Gundam based anime and will premiere this fall in Japan. In true Gundam fashion a manga will be released alongside the series as well as model kits video games and cards. The information is from the Corocoro...

I’ve been meaning to share an interesting web series I discovered a while back via Twitter I think. A web drama featuring a Japanese family obsessed with Gundam anime figures or “Gunpla.” This web series was created and aired in Japan while Gundam OO was on hence there is a lot of reference...

My Chibi Exia figure was one of my favourite figures. He was my first SD scale Gundam figure I aquired almost 2 years ago. He was cheap, easy to build and had a energetic personality that only Seravee and Double O could control. I regret to inform you call that since teaming up with Chibi Gold Frame...

Japan’s giant Gundam that was built and first appeared in Odaiba Japan and was a huge hit. After it was taken down in was re-built with a few upgrades and is now on display in Shizouka where it will remain until March 2011. Something so epic would only been done in a anime/manga crazed land like...
