Do you prefer large cannons or fin funnels?

[Kit Insight] Mcshow Metal Build 1/72 X-105 Blue Warrior

Third party die-cast figures can be a bit of a mixed bag: while they cost a fraction of officially-sanctioned ones, the quality may sometimes leave much to be desired.

[Accessory Analysis] MJH 1/100 Caletvwlch Set - Straight Build

An extremely cost-effective alternative to the real deal that ultimately still lacks the premium feel of the original.

[Kit Insight] Orange Cat Factory Non-Scale Super Robot Heroes ExCreR [Initial Release Ver.] - Straight Build

This is one sharp and edgey blue boy!

[Gallery] MoShow/Poison Toys/Kungfu Toys Metal Build Plus 1/100 00Q Qan[T]

While cosmetically similar to the Bandai version of the Metal Build 1/100 00Q Gundam 00 Qan[T], this third party offering bears many distinct differences, notably in the bundled equipment!

[Gallery] Nillson Works 1/60 Astray Red Frame with M3 1/60 Tactical Arms IIL & Caletvwich (Straight Build)

It's really very big (that's what she said).

The Red-eyed Haro!

[Accessory Analysis] Dragon Momoko Super Evangelion Arming Tree & Progressive Weapons

Dragon Momoko (DM) dropped this bombshell shortly after the shipping of their fabulous MG 1/100 Testament Gundam, surprising a fair bit of the community. For the uninitiated, the Arming Tree & Progressive Weapons package exists as a Bandai Chogokin set released some years back and costs a bomb (as with most Chogokin-branded products). It is a very interesting concept, even for non-followers of the Evangelion franchise, which is why you are now reading this Analysis.

[Accessory Analysis] Anubis HG RG MG Variable Action Base

Third party model kit manufacturer Anubis has been releasing some pretty cool stuff over the past few months, from the titular multi-function Anubis Base to a Heavy Combat Weapon Set that is able to meld mechanically with the Gunpla from almost any Gundam series. Their latest product throws back to simpler times, but with a twist.

[Kit Insight] Suntoys Super Deformed Master Grade RX-78-2 Gundam (Straight Build)

A SD kit with a MG inner frame? Wow.

[Kit Insight] Hobby Star HG 1/144 Gundam Harute Final Battle Ver. (Straight Build)

It has been ten years since the conclusion of 00 Gundam, one of the best series in the entire Gundam franchise. With well developed characters, a decent plot and a fantastic mecha design portfolio, 00 Gundam will be forever etched into the greater cultural collective.
