News: New Bandai Releases down the pipe

Metal Build Double O Gundam, 13800 yen, Late Mar 2011 (Something tells me the extra gunsword will be offered one of those special event items...)

Soul of Chogokin Mirai Robot Daltanious, 22000 yen, Late Apr 2011.

I'd say, start saving now, people...

News: Robot Damashii RX-78-02 Gundam

This looks fantastic, there is always room for one more RX-78-02.

 Coming late Oct will be these very cool looking kamen rider laptop cases.  There are 3 styles (Kamen Rider 1, Kamen Rider 3 and Shock Rider) to choose from, retail for 3000 yen and measuring 250x330x30mm.

News: Yamato Regult Limited: Self indulgence gone awry

So Yamato released this limited edition Regult last month for 38,000 yen.  Made of the same HDP (High Density Polyurethane) material that is used for the 1/2000 Macross, it is an online exclusive for Yamato's online store.

It's a big piece, as seen in comparison to the 1/60 VF-1D.

Well, I guess someone doesn't understand what global recession means...Seriously, this, for this much?

News: Eva Anima Visual Book

 The Anima Visual Book came out in Aug for 2100 yen, it document the evolution of the project, from an idea born out of Dengenki Hobby Magazine, to the production of the Soul of Chogokin Eva Anima.

The book as you can see, also documents concept designs and is very pleasant to look at.

I see submit to you that this is the most beautiful Eva I have seen, and if you can only afford one Eva toy, this Soul of Chogokin is the one to get.

This built up version just looks wrong for some reason, an Eva is supposed to be agile...

I personally think a Cross-Bone or Strike/Dragonar type backpack suits the Eva more than this ass mounted thruster...but that's just me.

News: Robot Damashii Qant

Although these came out a while ago, it's still news worthy given the Qant in Robot Damashii form will be coming out this month.

Also, can somebody tell Google that the new blogger editor is very difficult to use in moving pictures around...

Anyway, I am not too fond of the "bits joined together as a sword" concept, but the included circular stand adds a refreshing touch to the whole thing, don't you think?
