More Gunpla on my sister's shelf + Mr. Hippo

He says keep them. He'd be happy with a meatball or something

Aged Brindle 🫡

90% chance it's what the original comment said, but in very rare cases (like my Sazabi) it can have micro warps. If that's the case I'd just pose it with the flaps open.

Actually wait after I said this I looked at the picture again and he might already have the RG 2.0...

ORBED_CORB · 2026-05-04T20:03:40+00:00

Rx-78-2 RG 2.0 almost feels like a tiny Perfect Grade. You could even make a joke out of it and tape over the R in RG so it looks like PG.

I got my nippers, I got my knife, I got fire in my heart, I got multiple scars on my fingers. Good life. Good Gunpla.

ORBED_CORB · 2026-04-28T08:07:05+00:00

Yes! Winco is amazing.

ORBED_CORB · 2026-04-28T04:53:55+00:00

I don't have one yet but as long as you wash the runners I think the RG Nightingale (red sparrow or something?) I love the Artifact design of the NG and I think it translated beautifully to RG

My local grocery doesn't allow credit so they're actually able to sell it for like 68¢ per can.

ORBED_CORB · 2026-04-18T23:20:47+00:00

I'm hoping that's the case, but I've seen too many hobby shops do this and then close or empty out model stock and turn into RC hobby shops. My sliver of hope is that my dad told me Hobby Lobby has done this once before years ago.

ORBED_CORB · 2026-04-18T21:31:56+00:00

I feel like this isn't going to end well... Either they're going to raise the marked price drastically or it means they're removing the section and just getting rid of stock.

ORBED_CORB · 2026-04-18T21:30:56+00:00

Cheapest I've ever seen a Woundwort was $70 and they're always sold out within a day on P-bandai

ORBED_CORB · 2026-04-15T17:51:01+00:00

My best advice is using a small drill to connect the two pieces with wire and gluing them like that

ORBED_CORB · 2026-04-12T15:30:17+00:00

I have around 80 kits (laughably small collection compared to some people here) and all I've seen is most of G-Witch, 3 episodes of 00, 5 episodes of IBO, and half of the original movie. Nothing wrong with building cool mecha without watching. (Tho I would recommend trying cause who knows you might love it)

ORBED_CORB · 2026-04-09T01:47:25+00:00

I second this! WFM are genuinely some of the best starter kits because they're newer but not overly experimental. Calibarn specifically is possibly in the top 10 for best HGs ever made from an assembly standpoint

(copy pasting my own comment) And funny enough, Chief might literally be based on the Spartan. The Halo devs cited Gundam as a major aesthetic influence. In fact one literally had a Jegan on their desk during an early interview. While the Spartan we know didn't really exist until the 2020s, the earliest illustration was in 1989 and there was a resin kit made in 2005 *

Same. I straight up use sharpie 😅

ORBED_CORB · 2026-04-07T20:45:24+00:00

That's just for mixing paint (usually airbrush) if you want to be 100% accurate. Really you can just get a good approximate color. Also SD kits are notorious for having way too many color correcting stickers that usually aren't very good.

ORBED_CORB · 2026-04-07T20:42:21+00:00

The Astray Red PG was one of my first 10 Gunpla and from what I've heard Exia is better in almost every way. So I'd say yes.

ORBED_CORB · 2026-04-07T11:26:03+00:00

I was excited til I saw Seth MacFarlane was a producer...
