A Little Break (UPDATE)

I'll try to get the next review up in a couple days. Thursday, I'll be going to Chicago, IL, to see some friends I haven't seen in almost 2 years. So I'll be away from my computer for a few days. Once I'm back, I'll try to have the follow-up review shortly after!

UPDATE: We're leaving earlier than originally expected, so the next review won't be up until sometime next week. Review's written just not finished implementing the photos.

Until then!

HGUC 1/144 Qubeley Review

Another reclamation from my previous HGUC collection, the AMX-004 Qubeley has always been another favorite MS from Z Gundam and Gundam ZZ (Though I've still not seen it). Its organic design, along with its strong femininity (It is piloted by a woman, after all), makes it very sleek, endearing, yet wrathful looking. Being Haman Karn's personal machine throughout the end of the Gryps Conflict and through the 1st Neo Zeon War, this machine stays ahead of the game the whole way, thanks to the miniaturization of the Psycommu System and being the fore-bearer of the Funnel weapons.

HGUC 1/144 Hyaku-Shiki + Mega Bazooka Launcher Review

A re-acquisition from my old HG-Gunpla days (although it’s only from 2004). I still prefer this version over the plated original release.
Giant guns just win. Period.
This was also the first in a line of me waiting for more complete versions of HG kits, which is why the Master Gundam + Fuunsaiki kit will be a day-one must on my list! Hopefully…

Backlog Poll Results!!

Well, the results from last month's poll are in. And, unfortunately, only 3 people voted...
So I'm include those that were runner ups in some people's comments to bring it to five kits.
All HGUC's, no less. (Not that I gave much to vary that result, still...)
Once again, though, I will be doing a surprise kit in between each review that were NOT listed in the poll, so stay tuned for those. And then one of my own choosing at the end (Maybe was in the poll maybe not). So that'll bring it up to ten reviews!

1: HGUC 1/144 Hyaku-Shiki + Mega Bazooka Launcher
2: HGUC 1/144 Qubeley
3: HGUC 1/144 Char's Zaku II
4: ???
5: HGUC 1/144 Zeta Gundam
6: ???
7: HGUC 1/144 Gouf Custom
8: ???
9: HGUC 1/144 ZZ Gundam
10: ?!?

I plan on two-or-three a week (depending on free time). Photos have already been started and review write-ups only take a couple hours once that's done.

If I do this in the future, I would definitely love more interaction, please. I know it sounds desperate, but it's hard to know whether anyone who follows me actually reads my stuff.

Time Out for a Shout out

I'm still rounding up my necessities for my next batch of reviews, so until then, I want to point you in the direction of someone I found on DeviantART recently...


DisAstranagant is a vector artist from Canada who has very good taste in his choice of works. He's done many of the insgnias from Gundam, Gurren Lagann and the Metal Gear Solid series, and other things as well.
He's also doing the Gundam show logos at the moment, which I have to thank him personally for! Do him a favor and if you're on DA, give him +watch because he's definitely doing the Gundam community a favor by doing this!

Also, for those unaware, I'm also on DA. Username: OZKai (Of course!).
