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.

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!!

Quick New Addition Update :: Yo-Kai Watch's Togenyan

On my last Houl update, I included a model kit from Yo-Kai Watch, which is Orochi. Already had Orochi build and I was pretty impressed that I bought a new one, Togenyan. Felt pretty lucky that they still have this cactus pussy cat available on TrU sale isle, since during my last visit with my friend, Ana, I was torn (pun intended) on which one to get, the Dragon scarfed Orochi, or the spunky spike neko Togenyan, since both are the last box.

Little Togenyan will have to wait for my next rest day from work for me to build. Also, will be making a review for Orochi. Really hope I get the other characters and they wont sold out soon. Sadly the one that I now kinda want since I figured it was the Pikachu of Yo-Kai Watch, the Jibanyan, isnt available anymore, but will try to find one on some other stores, and would definitely love to have it. 😫

So I did a little research about this Yo-Kai Watch, and found out Im really late from all the Yo-Kai crazy! It has Anime, which I just started watching (english dubbed, of course), 3DS games which I'm planning to get maybe next year, and real version watches and collectible medals which you can get from blind booster packs. I'm now planning to collect those dope medals as well the art looks pretty cool. I'm a fan of bakemonos and other mythical and supernatural creatures, and the Pokemon-isc vibe is coming on me, so I strongly believe Yo-kai Watch will be on top of my fave list this coming year.

1st Week of December :: New Kits

My collecting career doing really good so far, It's just the first week of December, and I already have a lotta additions to my pile of new model kits.

Thanks to the early release of my 13th month pay, I managed to snag Try Burning Gundam HG, Try Burning Gundam Sd Ex Standard, and RX-78-2 Sd Ex Standard, and a base stand also but do not pay much attention on that one. Now, the 2 SDs will surely find its way to my bloog in the future, but I kinda like the HG dude from Build Fighters that much that I might also make a review about it.

Yesterday, a workmate asked me to grab a HG Barbatos from a Toys R Us near my house, and on my way to get it, I found this RX-78-2 HG hidden behind Build Fighters boxes. No time wasted, I went home with my new RX-78-2 which I can use to try campaign items and the SD Ex Standards weapon transformations.

 

And today, after work, I decided to reward myself a Denial Gundam HG, also from Build Fighters, after receiving a pretty high score for the month of November.

Ive been getting a lot of Build Fighters, mostly HGs, and there are also SDs in the series but the only one I have so far is the Ex Standard Try Burning. Really like the series and I might as well dedicate a shelf to Build Fighters models only.

12.7.16 UPDATE
Got a new model kit, but not from Mobile Suit Gundam, its actually another series called Yo-kai Watch. I'm not familiar with the show or the toy line up, but TrU had all the toys from the series on sale, and I got really curious about the model kit, so I bought this character, Orochi, who I thought was the coolest one, most of the characters are cats.

Might get the other ones if this Orochi turn out to be good, and if they still have these guys on stock.

A friend failed to stop me from buying a new one, before we reached TrU, I asked her to do whatever it takes to prevent me from getting a new model kit, it's becoming an addiction. I'm now 3-for-3 days, but I think I'm done for the week. In your face, Ana Necor-Smith!!

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.
