Wing Gundam Fenice - I think is the crappiest Build Fighter. And I LOVE IT!!

And there you go..

April Finds :: Build Fighters and Infinite Justice

For the mean time, this is going to be my last post about Gundam. I'm still collecting, and still buying and building, and maybe will still make short reviews and updates about my Still growing Gundam collection, but I kinda want to also make updates about my other toys, including the one I just started collecting, Super Hero Mashers and Star Wars Mashers, and 1/18 scale soldiers and other Action figures. So foroww I'm taking rest from Gundam and will start updates about these other cool toys.

Now, for the month of April, I got these bad boys..

Infinite Justice Gundam will be joining my other Justice Gundam, while Gundam The End and Wing Gundam Fenice with Meteor Hoper will be joining my Build Fighters collection.

Inifinite Justice Gundam (Gundam Seed Destiny)

Ive been longing to have this HG, since Justice Gundam is one of my faves, and alsoo I want to collect every scale and form of it, good thing I found one on sale in Toys R Us, Fairview Terraces.

Gundam The End (Gundam Build Fighters)

From range of 0 to 100, how cool do you think it  is to have an office boss who is also a Gundam Fan? I'll tell you, it's more than a thousand, sucker!! That's right, my office boss is the one who picked this up for me lol. A giant Gundam fanatic as I am, and as KC(who was mentioned a few times ago in some posts). Boss Marc picks up model kits from wasabitoys.com for both KC and I, since he is a regular, and we are relying on discounts haha. 

Wing Gundam Fenice + Meteor Hopper (Gundam Build Fighters)

Also one of my lo time targets from BF Series, the Fenice. Managed to find stock also in TrU, Fairview Terraces, but I was hoping to also get a Build Custom Meteor Hopper for it that timr, but is not available, not in TrU, not everywhere I know, unless I order it online or have Boss Marc pick it up for me from wasabitoys.com, ehich isnt available as wll that time. Few days later, on my hunt for Super Heroes Mashers, I reached Metro department store, also located in Fairview Terraces, and found a crumpled Metor Hopper box, alone on a shelf. Who cares about the box, I still bought it as it might be my only chance to get one for a long time again. Good thing all the runners' still in tact.

BTW, not my last Gunpla post. I got few more Fenice photos, following this one.

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:

BB Senshi #336 Nanpo Kibatai

A.k.a Green Military unit, I'm not familiar in which kingdom or troops does these green soldiers serves, but I remember in an early Brave Battle Warrior episode, there are green soldiers working for Ryo-Fu Tallgeese and Toutaku Zaku, the bad guys. While on the side box art, it shows Nanpo Kibatai as the army serving Asurao Mokaku Gundam and Syukuyu Gundam, riding the Kyoshin Elephant. Gotta watch the anime again. Anyway..

The first one I built from the November package I received from GreatToysOnline.com since it is one of the smaller Gunpla model from the box. Here's what inside..

The runners, 2 for the Ji or horse, and 1 for the soldiet, a brown wire for the horse what-you-call-it handle, the decals, the printed instruction manual where the flag cut out is also located, and a free coaster with the character print.

Now here's the built #336 Nanpo Kibatai, nice cloudy weather outside, so I went out for a little shoot..

The green army unit and his brown war horse, a shield, a battle spear, and a troop flag. Great points about this model are: the war horse, of course, and there are more detailed decals for the soldier, while the other 3-unit model kit only has for the eye part. A little less point is, I don't think there's another kit, where you will only get the soldier, or like another 3-unit kit of its kind, and if you want more units, you'll have to buy it with the horse, as part of the model kit. Not a bad idea though, could just repaint the horse for other characters, but that means work.

Here's a couple more pics..

Really like this soldier and his horse companion, might get some more, even though Im not sure right now on which right troop should I have this one place. Sadly, according to GreatToysOnline, they wont be restocking this SD model, or any of the other SD models that I got from them.

And to add this fresh-return-to-blog entry, here's another pic of the unnamed brown horse with 008 Shin Hakugin Ryuuseiba..

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.
