PLAMO Radicon Show 2006

This will be quite a long post, with so many pictures.

These are photos from PLAMO Radicon Show 2006 in Japan, another one of those annual toy exhibitions we would never get to see here in Kuching. Images are from Run Chicken S (Don’t ask me, I don’t know why that guy want this for his blog name)

Remember this big guy from Macross /Robotech? Seem like he’s transformable. Not sure about the scale, i.e. how humongous he will be but people who like him can save around 15000 Yen when he is finally out.

Walau! Very girlish robot from don’t-know-what-series. Reminds me of Nobel Gundam from G Gundam. Cute?

A few really kiss-ass mecha from Armored Core.

This is R-1 from Super Robot War. Looks really close to Victory Gundam, and he transforms as well. With the release of Gundam F91 this year, I speculate that Victory, the smallest fully transformable Gundam will be out next year.

Another unknown mecha from Super Robot War. Super-duper sword.

One of the latest entries for Zoids. I used to collect some of these models a few years back, when I was just wondering how many guns they can put on a single animal :-) Now they are making these mecha to look really mean, but cool~

The 3rd entry for UC Hard Graph, and finally it’s the EFSF’s turn to get one of their scenes to be turned into models. This is a hover tank from the 08th Gundam Team. Seems like the characters included are from the anime as well. Not sure if the kit also include the tables and other props you see here.

Next UC Hard Graph release will be this… a GM arm and a soldier… I wonder what will it be.

HG 1-144 Stargazer. Got to love the beam ring. Plus, can you see the box art of Kerberos BuCue on the left. That’s one of the best refit-design from that anime for me. I wonder when we’ll be able to have a peak into its content.

The model of L Gaim Mk II from Bandai’s Real Robot Revolution series. The first one is 1-48 Layzner. L Gaim Mk II will come out pretty soon, before the end of this year. The next one is Xabungle, with is under construction.

Ex Model White Base. Those designers must have worked really hard to turn such a simple design from the original anime into this marvelous piece of model.

HGUC Gaplant TR-5 from Advance of Zeta. I have seen the design in Dengeki Magazine, and the details of this mecha is astonishing. Never thought hat Bandai make a model out of it. Priced at 2600 Yen, this Gaplant is pretty close to a MG model already.

Also, GM Striker and Zaku Sniper, which were mentioned once in my blog. Still not impressive enough for me even when I’m looking at it for the n-th times now.

The biggest surprise of the event is Ex Model Hildoltr. Wuhuh~ Finally the incredible tank-MS from MS IgLoo is going to be out, in a model affordable for me. You can read about Hildoltr's action in that episode here. Previously, Hildoltr was featured as an expensive kit, but now, looks like there’s another model on my wish list already. Not sure if he is transformable, but the details on the body and armor are enough for a ‘Go’.
