Review: Master Grade GM C-Type
By Loran Like I mentioned in my last review of the Master Grade GP02A, I get impatient sometimes-why wait for an HGUC when I can just grab a Master Grade to hold me over? Yes, […]

Review: Master Grade Gundam GP02A
By Loran I’m going to be honest-I’m not much of a Master Grade person. Don’t get me wrong, they’re very nice kits-some of the best money can buy. But their more complex construction, silly hands, […]

Series Review: Super Robot War kits
By Loran This isn’t going to be so much a review, per se, as it will be an evaluation, if that makes any sense. I’m not going to be talking about Bandai kits this time-instead, […]

Review: HGOO Tieren Taozi
I gotta say, when Gundam 00 was first announced, I was pretty ecstatic and really looking forward to it-the setting sounded interesting and plausible, the mecha were a breath of fresh air, and the characters […]

Review HGUC GM Blue Destiny
by Loran The Gundam video games, while seldom important to the “big picture” of the Gundam Universe, often give us nice little side-stories or chances to blow stuff up with our favorite mobile suits. But […]

The Empire Strikes Back (1950)

Review: HGUC GM Command
In 1989, the launch of Gundam 0080 attempted to do something new with Gundam: Create all-new mecha designs to replace the ones from the original series-updates, if you will. A lot of the fiction from this time supported this idea, like the SD Gundam OVA episode where the SDs go into the “real” Gundam Universe, and the “MS Era” book, which took a look at the One Year War as if it were an actual war in history. Well, this cool retcon didn’t last long, as Bandai eventually decided to consider them just variants of the original suits as opposed to replacements. Still, they’re awesome designs, and represent one of the coolest design styles ever. […]
