Hi to all. The 2011 Philippines Toycon was recently held over the weekend at Megatrade Halls 1-3 of SM Megamall, Pasig, Metro Manila, and our group Mechapinoy had a booth alongside our sister org IPMS-Philippines. It was a well attended event and everyone had a good time with the displayed kits and ...

Are you referring to this?

if we get lucky, it may even join the RG roster

^ That is great news indeed, one of the long overdue releases from Hase, imma have to grab one. Would you mind sharing the link for this announcement?

EDIT: nvm, found the HLJ preorder link as well as the announcement from Shizuoka 2011.

^ not actually an announcement of the release of RG Zaku I, but customization of RG Char's Zaku into Zaku I. gundamguy has posted info about it a couple of days back.

Some new images of the upcoming 1/100 VF-25F Alto Custom kit from Bandai: http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f364/maverick_valquiff/Mecha/9d9393bb.jpg http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f364/maverick_valquiff/Mecha/62302a6f.jpg http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f364/maverick_valquiff/Mecha/a9630a5a.jp...

After the YF-29, it looks like Bandai is on a roll with the 1/100 model kit line. Next up is the 1/100 VF-25F Alto Custom: http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f364/maverick_valquiff/Mecha/4be6739f.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f364/maverick_valquiff/Mecha/8ff45213.jpg http://i51.photobucket.co...

Not at all surprised, since the bitchier of the two love interests always wins in Macross series :lol: Not in the original, she didn't. Minmay IMO was far more of a stuck-up bitch than Misa, and Hikaru ended up going with the latter. Well, that's where we disagree. Granted, I haven't seen all of th...

i think the reason they are posting either the MG or PG pics is to emphasize that they are going to capture a lot of their features in the RG kit. in any case, i am absolutely getting this kit once it's released

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UVRoF5dMi7U/TRInbib5EsI/AAAAAAAAbfM/QmQNL2mpGtw/s1600/1.jpg Apparently it's called Extreme Gundam, and it's piloted by Gackt. No clue if this is actually meant to be in a serious Gundam continuity or if it's just a LOLZ Gunpla fan thing. Mod Edit (Red): Merged into exsisti...

I'm not an expert in stealth and the related technologies, but I think Radar absorbent material / coating from what I know does not absorb all radiowaves being sent out by radar systems to a target craft. Highly reflective angles may help, similar to the ones on the F-117A and F-22, but in the end, ...

don't forget Dynames Repair and Setsuna's Flag too

Sorry for the reaally delayed posting, please check out the article on the Mechapinoy front page regarding the recently held BMKWC 2010 here in the Philippines. Here are some of the winners from Mechapinoy: Individual Entries: CHAMPION Pro-Open Category Bum-BALL-Bee (by ecapz) / Image 2 / Image 3 Ba...

BMKWC 2010 is still ongoing - and there are soooo many entries! Ban Kee also displayed new and upcoming kits, like PG Strike Freedom, MG 00-Quan[T], RG Char's Zaku, and HGUC Gouf Custom. I will try to take pics tomorrow when I get back there and post 'em up here

^ Interestingly, a friend who is into GunPla also living there in Iloilo will be coming over here to Manila for a visit. :) Well, as far as I know, Ban Kee has no plans to do caravans outside of Manila in the immediate future, but hey, one can always wish. :D Well, just to remind everyone who will b...

Minimalistic? Lol, god is in the details, which it definitely has. I believe it's concept art or fan art of that one fan design, F-95 IIRC http://www.e2046.com/product.php?products_id=5358 I remember looking around for the F-95 and it was mentioned that it might be a variation. it looks similar, bu...

Hello everyone, for those who are in Manila I would just like to inform everyone of the upcoming Gundam/Mecha related events here in Manila. Ban Kee Phils. , the official distributor of Bandai products here in the Philippines, has requested Mechapinoy.org to put up displays of built and painted Gund...

That is indeed the official website, and MAHQ not having the complete profile for the 00 movie mecha doesn't mean it's not legit, but that Chris is just probably busy with work and life outside MAHQ

Sadly, Hobby Search only has this Wing 0 on stock right now:
