Happy Cinco De Mayo FPNYC Faithful! I’m am currently sitting inside typing this up on a gorgeous day, so do me a solid and swing by the shop and by something during your tequila-fueled rampages! […]
I remember back last fall when the Tallgeese MG was announced. I couldn’t even put into words how excited I was. This is something that was LONG overdue, especially since we already got a Katoki-style […]
Man, I have the worst luck when it comes to picking kits these days, don’t I? I love kits with removable armor and just “full armor” variants in general. The gimmick is just really cool […]
Sometimes, I can get extremely motivated when working on kits. Usually it happens when it’s something I’m really excited to build, like the Nu Gundam ver Ka MG. Others, it’s because of what it isn’t. […]
WARNING, WARNING, MONTHLY SHAMELESS PLUG APPROACHING! So SHAMELESS PLUG (I did warn y’all), this time next week I’ll be in Chicago for C2E2, which is exciting for me at the very least.C2E2 isn’t as toy-news […]
This kit, and the one I bought with it, are just a testament to horrible model kit buying habits. A few months ago, I needed some new Master Grades to build once I had my […]
Hey FPNYC Faithful, let’s see what kind of neat stuff we got in this wee- ::: Checks out shelves :: ::: Bangs head against wall repeatedly ::: Don’t get me wrong y’all. I like talking […]
When I was younger, I had the combining Gundam/G-Fighter from the American action figure line. It was great fun, switching around the parts for all the different combinations. Sure, the figure quickly went obsolete when […]
The good old G-Fighter… an absolute testament to the era in which the original Gundam aired. Back in those days, things were even more “to sell toys” than they are now. That’s what lead to […]
Welcome back to FPNYC’s offical Bioshock blog (Blogshock? Bioblog?)!! “REAL” Bioshock fans will get the reference in the title, which only make sense if you own a TV. And continue to not comment on the […]
Okay, okay, I’ll admit… I cheated a bit here. I built a Gundam 2.0 back in 2008 when it first came out. At that point, I didn’t have an RX-78-2 on my shelf, and I […]
With the exception of Gundam Unicorn, new Gundam merchandise in the US has been kind of rare these days, to say the least. Ever since Bandai Entertainment kicked the bucket, all DVD sales have pretty […]
In my defense, it’s an incredible game. Also expect a full review of the “Art of Bioshock Infinite” artbook (published by Dark Horse comics!) in a week or two when I can look at it […]
It’s been even longer since I’ve taken a look at stuff from Tamashii Nations, so let’s take a peek at those… From this year’s Kamen Rider Wizard, both Kamen Rider Beast and Kamen Rider Wizard […]
Since it’s been awhile, let’s take a look at some upcoming Gunpla for the next coming months! Just released in Japan are the HGUC kits of the Banshee Norn and Shin Matsunaga’s High Mobility Type […]
As I’ve mentioned time and time again, I love Gundam Unicorn, even if it does frustrate me quite a bit. One of my favorite aspects of it as all of the “robot porn” the OVA […]
HUMBLE BRAG: PAX East is in a few days, which means next week I’ll have a fun little write up about the show next week. Insert your jealousy/rage/apathy/excitement here. Happy St. Paddy’s day FPNYC Faithful! […]
Okay, after having first previewed this kit several months ago, it’s time for finally get my butt in gear with the Real Type G-Armor! When the Gundam ver 2.0 was first announced back in 2008, […]
Let’s take a little break from the Universal Century, shall we, and we’ll take a look at a series I sometimes forget: Gundam 00. When Gundam 00 first started, it had some of the most […]
The latest episode of Gundam Unicorn made its digital download debut last weekend, with its blu-ray release coming within a few weeks. The episode was long awaited, with the last episode being released in May […]
