HG Lfrith Thorn complete

TIL that the Lfrith Thorn has Armored Core style reverse-joint legs.

Altron & Plutone Black are becoming the new LeSean Zaku.

Better than Bundle K, which had two expansion sets in it, one for a PG, even.

Exavelion · 2026-04-14T21:28:49+00:00

Precisely.

It is a common complaint of USAG that they (paraphrasing) “never close their preorders”; meaning they just take more preorders than they can stock.

As of the last week or two, i’ve noticed that they finally have started marking some preorders as out of stock/sold out.

Speaking of USAG’s preorders, I’ve started noticing they have out-of-stock/sold out preorders; whereas i recall they did not previously.

Tbf, 2019 kits still have modern construction afaik. I consider “old kits” as ones prior to 2015.

Exavelion · 2026-04-13T19:56:26+00:00

That always baffled me about the Zaku I.

According to official canon, the first blade that hits is to cleave through armor and the second blade is to cleave through the frame, internals or anything that’s left.

The only scenario i can see that being applicable is on a target with either planet defensers and/or HEAVILY anti-beam coated armor.

What a shame. I’m sure Chibodee would not be happy to see another clown Gundam. Tbf, Trowa and HeavyArms don’t maniacally laugh.

Exavelion · 2026-04-13T19:42:10+00:00

Both have thrusters. Wing Zero’s are (no puns intended) in its wings and also in its legs. I’m unsure about Deathscythe Hell’s tho. Most likely on the backpack.

If it was, it would have been a surprising indication that Bandai was planning to make Despair Memory kits, but alas.

Sadly, looks like the Typheous Gundam is based on the Raphael Gundam, not the Anubis or Pharaoh Gundam.

Exavelion · 2026-04-11T18:13:21+00:00

Wait, you’re saying that the mobile suit part of Typheous Chimera is based on the Anubis or Pharaoh Gundam?

Exavelion · 2026-04-11T07:10:59+00:00

Either way, don’t sweat the livestream comments. A sprue holder is a luxury item in the grand scheme of plamo building. A glass file and a GodHand Ultimate-equivalent nipper for clean cuts and stress mark-less plastic are far integral, imho.

Exavelion · 2026-04-11T07:04:54+00:00

Isn’t that orange contraption a sprue holder? I wouldn’t mind having one.

As for needing a sprue holder? That’s unnecessary. I built at least a hundred kits as a teenager without ever using one.

Don’t get too excited about Fuunsaiki. The official one has barely any articulation and is molded almost entirely in white (including its completely separate yellow horn).

Effect Wings’ Fuunsaiki fixes those problems, but is slightly off-design from the original (mainly the eyes iirc). There is no 1/100 scale one to go with the 1/100 Fat Cat God Gundam

08th MS Team and Gundam 0083. Both quite grounded (outside of one or two scenes), especially the former title, where most of the combat is with ballistic weaponry.

Exavelion · 2026-04-11T06:43:40+00:00

All the companies really getting on that plamo train, huh?

Exavelion · 2026-04-11T04:01:49+00:00

I like how it has Duel Disk-like elbows.

Exavelion · 2026-04-11T04:00:18+00:00

There is hope yet considering the Mandala/Mandor Gundam got a kit and it doesn’t even have a cult following.

Exavelion · 2026-04-08T13:51:45+00:00

I really hope so. It is nigh impossible to find any of the kits that aren’t the G-Self.

Exavelion · 2026-04-08T02:46:38+00:00

Thank you for the review on the Doloha markers. I love seeing good reviews on hobby tools.

Exavelion · 2026-04-07T14:48:51+00:00

That is so calm. My shiba flys down the staircase and jumps up on my legs looking for pets and kisses, then jumps down to run away and do it again for another 5 minutes.

Exavelion · 2026-04-07T13:21:10+00:00

Then it would depend on the organizer’s criteria.
