Gunpla

First of all, "Gunpla", derived from the phrase "GUNDAM plastic models", commonly refers to the practice of building Gundam models. "What are Gundams?" You ask. Well, Gundams are huge human driven mechanical robots used for war but don't worry, its only found in animes and not something you would see flying around outside your window.

So, collecting these Gundam models has been one of my hobbies lately as I am a huge fan of Gundams. I've been following the current Gundam anime which is the OO series (or double O) which has ended this week and the models in the series are pretty awesome. Thus, I have already bought 3 HG (High Grade) 1/144 scale models (larger scale is 1/100 and 1/60) and there are still plenty more to get. Here are some blur shots of my lousy posers...

Arios and OO-Raiser Gundam (don't know what's the lil one in the middle called)

I'm still gonna get a few models like Cherudim, Seravee and probably the old Nadleeh and Trans-Arm-ed Exia Gundam. Not to forget, there are also models from the other series. Damn I'm gonna be broke.

Finally, I just found a new release from Bandai which looks really awesome and I'm definately gonna get this as well. (Damn you money sucking Bandai)

It's the (freaking long) HG 1/144 Gundam OO Trans-Arm Raiser Gloss Injection Version!!!


This will probably cost me around RM90 I guess. Gonna be really broke now... sobs...
