I figure that I’ll just give him a post here for the review of this, as the primary focus of this page has been (and always will be) about gunpla and the stuff that goes in to them. If I wind up with enough of these to warrant their own page it’s not an impossibility though. Kuuga was technically the first Figuarts that I got even though he was the last one to arrive and was a backup to the frustratingly limited edition Amazing Mighty form Kuuga. Nonetheless I’m really happy that I got this version, so let’s get to the figure!

Firstly, gunpla building is on hold for a bit, as stated so many times, airbrush. Two weeks from now? Next week? Who knows. It will be soon, but life is hectic and it’s hard to pull the trigger on a 270$ purchase sometimes. However, it is not hard to throw down for some 40$ purchases, even if they total up.
I got in to the SH Figuarts line this month with the release of their Son Gohan figure and at the same time decided I’d get myself the Son Goku and Kamen Rider Kuuga (Ultimate form) They went for about 25$ a pop but were entirely worth the purchase price. While a diStage or two would be very helpful for fighting poses I’ve definitely gotten enough of a feel for them while playing around with them and I’m really impressed with the quality. Expect a page some time after this week since I’m currently working ten days in a row, which tends to leave one without much energy for doing photoshoots or the like.
In other news, a good friend of mine picked me up the Real Grade RX-78-2 model at SDCC, so that will be here sooner or later (and for a change, I plan to paint it in normal colors!) along with the special edition ANA G30 RX-78-2 care of Rob over at ASM. That will be getting straight built, so if nothing else you can look forward to some pictures of that! Until then, I leave you with some more Figuarts pictures.
Brought to you in part by the Blue-Fin Corp and the San Diego Comic-Con, we’ve got a big announcement today!
As you know, the SDCC is coming up very soon and of course, there will be some limited edition kits that you can buy at the show. That in itself isn’t something that’s huge, but something that will also be available at the Blue-Fin booth is.
Available on June 22nd, the same day that it goes on sale in Japan will be the Real Grade 1/144 RX-78-2. This item will be exclusively sold at the Blue-Fin booth, as they are North America’s gunpla distributor. Needless to say, I’m pretty envious of everyone who will be there and have a chance to pick this stellar kit up!
Given the exorbitant amount of hits the site has seen today (thanks, Z!), I felt it somewhat appropriate to make a post to commemorate getting four times the average amount. So I did so in the best way I know how, with a bunch of pictures! While the kit itself isn’t a new one or one that was painted it’s still one of my favorite kits and one that has been severely lacking in the photography department for -quite- some time. So, without further adieu, I present you with pictures of the limited edition Karaba Assault Use Zeta Gundam! Please forgive any flaws in the construction or finish of the model as you can see it’s quite an old one. Someday I’d like to find another and give it another go..I’ve already got what I want to do all thought out.
Really sorry about the overlong delay in getting Musha’s page up but it’s there now! I had a hiccup with the internet where I was without it for three days not to mention Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 sucking up all my free time after work instead of taking pictures proper. I’ve got 0081 Senki [PSNid: FrewtLupes] on the way as well, so I’m sure that this page will slow down a bit until I get my airbrush and some other tools. Fear not though, there is something in progress that I’ll share with you now that Musha is finished proper. Bear in mind this is still in the very early planning stages, please!
This page for this will be a bit different. More on that when I get the page up, but for now it’s still awaiting it’s clearcoat and a little touchup work.
