2016 Additions to the ShihoMT Gunpla Shelf

I know I started late this year, but I still manage to grab a lot of new additions to my Gunpla family. My first houl for 2016 came third week of November, then I didnt stop getting more, from old models to somehow, still new ones.

Fantastic Beast Houl
MG Age-1 Titus, HG Justice Gundam, some Sangokuden military units.
The set I got after the Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them premier. The Sangokuden guys are part of a Gundam sale event, and I got them for free.

November GTO Houl
My first package from GreatToysOnline. Most consisting Sangokuden models, and my first Gunpla which transforms from Sd to HG.

13th Month Houl
From my 13th month pay LOL!!  Got my first 2 SD EX-Standard dudes, one of which is Lolo Gundam!

Given the number of pals who joined my shelf today, I'd say this year has been a success in my Gunpla collecting career. Some I already made a blog entry this past weeks, and more will surely come. Have them scheduled, to make sure my blog will remain alive, even though my sched is really busy. No promises will be made for the coming year, but I will surely try to make more updates.

This year-end post is dedicated to my new found family from Q.Ave, It wouldn't be possible if it wasnt from the good peeps of my first BPO. Finally, I'm a real fledge adult. So, thanks a lot, 14th floor, for the great opportunity and I'm really glad to be part of the family! May we all have a very fortunate year this 2017. Happy New Year!!

BB Senshi #324 Military Unit Soldier + Promotional Campaign Military Units

The not so top priority characters from the Sangokuden anime, Brave Battle Warriors, these boys serves as the ever loyal and disposable army of the different clans and troops. The red ones belongs to CaoCao's troop, the orange ones to the Son clan, and the blue ones are from Ryubi's troop, I think.

The box contains 3 Militry Unit soldiers, one from each troops mentioned above. I strongly hoped they instead released a box containing 3 guys from the same troop, that way it would be easier to collect as many from the same troop as you want.

Included in the box are the runners, 1 for each unit as each one is an easy built but in one color only though and needs heavy paint job to get the look, the decal sheet for the eyes and flag holder only, a printed sheet of cut out flag, and a promotional coaster with the 3 units art.

Each unit has a shield, a spear-axe, and a flag representing a troop, for accessories. Its all dull without the paint job, as only the eyes has decals provided. Here's some more photos..

For my November 17th houl, which I got from a 1-day private sale from Toys R Us Trinoma, I got 3 promotional sangokuden military units for free. 2 of them are red and one orange.

Forgot to take a photo of the runners before I built them. On the instruction sheet, it shows it is also possible to own a green one, which looks different from the other 3, and also different from #336 Nanpo Kibatai. It looks like it could have higher ranking than the normal units. Unfortunately only red and orange ones are given away, and they didnt even had the blue one. How I wish I could also own the green one as well. The cut out flags are also on the instruction sheets, 4 of it but you'll only need one.

Even though the instruction sheet shows there are certain weapons included on each unit, All three that I got has a sword, but that's fine, at least it's different from the #324 ones. Also, the flags are a little different from the model kit above.

So far, my soldier counts: 1 Nanpo Kibatai, 4 Red (small one free from a dif model kit), 2 Orange, 2 Blue (small one also from the dif model kit). Would love to have more but its hard to find this model kit since the sangokuden has already phased out and only few stores and online sellers has them. 1 final pic of all of them:

Long Pause Unpaused + November 2016 Houl

2 years past, and within I kept on trying to find time to make an update in this blog. I just love it, I cant abandon it completely. Anyway, Im still figuring out how blogger works on iPad, and since I'm kind of busy because of my job, upcoming posts might not be coming sooner, but will definitely come.

So last week, I got these goods from a Toys R Us private sale, after my date from Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them premier, great movie, btw.

I got a MG Age-1 Titus, and a HG Justice Gundam. Also, since there was a Gundam event happening in T'r'U that time, I got 3 free Sangokuden Army Units from a raffle, for my BBW collection which I'm also trying to continue, and a Custom Weapon Campaign, for my HG Justice Gundam.

And since I cant find time to do a descent shoot for my new Titus and Justice, nor even apply the dry transfer decals; well, none of my other Gunplas due to my schedule in that matter, I just took some phone pics..

Justice Gundam is one of my faves, and the Titus is definitely my fave Age-1 mobile suite. The HG Justice Gundam is holding the free campaign weapon from the event. While MG Titus looks cooler with its SD version. Also took a photo of HG Justice with its SD, but I cant open the image.

Also, a few days back, I made a 7 SD purchase from GreatToysOnline.com, most of it are Sangokuden, and I received the package last night. If you are also in the Philippines, and would want to buy Gunplas at lower price, just visit their website, most of their products are on Christmas Sale, and they have some promotions going on as well!

So excited to start these babies. Been a while since I built a SD, and would love to have my Brave Battle Warriors collection continue to grow. 

HG Victory Gundam + HG Customize Campaign Item A

Normally, I'd buy a new SD for my semester end kickback, from my last week of the semester allowance. It's been my thing for 2 years now. but since the nearest local toy store and hobby store doesn't have the new SD I wanted, and some of those in stock are old, I decided to get an HG instead. and It comes with a Campaign Item. If there is a second thing I love collecting Gundam, it's freebies and campaign items!! Also, they gave me the second copy of GUNPLA Catalogue 2013.

Since I already have my cam ready by my side.. I also took a photo of Victory Gundam runners and manual. A photocopy of "How to build GUNPLA" page from 2013 GUNPLA Navigation Catalogue is also included in the box.

The HG Customize Campaign item, that was given to me for free after purchaising Victory Gundam, was also from 2013, but only available this month on my fave hobby store. I got "A" (there are six of them to collect). Included in the runner is a Cannon that can be used by almost every HG modelkit with gun-holding fist, and several pairs of connectors that can be used to morph 2 different model kits into 1.

hmm..might as well do a little photoshoot for Victory Gundam + campaign item and post it here.... later.
