Miscellaneous non-Gundam updates for this posting ^^

From the prototype, it seems that this won't be merely the first Lancelot mounted with the Float unit and cannon. At least the chest and shoulders are different.
The Plamo version on the other hand, doesn't seem so 'fortunate' to receive such upgrades - hopefully this is subjected to changes. ^^;

Comes with "First Type Arm" - not available in the plamo version.

More VF-25s from a Macross Frontier event as reported by Zoid2003. Not too sure about the details because my Firefox is acting up on me for that site - can only see weird symbols ^^; Anyway, the more important point is that DX Chogokin VF-25 Alto and Ozma Lee's units were on display!

DX Chogokin VF-25. I always prefer Ozma's unit than Alto's VF-25. Its head looks much better than the earlier, and that huge Skull Leader decal on the back of the fighter is just too awesome. ^^ And we have yet to see its Armor pack.
Bandai please be quick in releasing the 1/72 plamo version ^^

1/72 Transformable VF-25 - still in prototype form.

Skull Team's cap? I'd love to have one of these if they are on sale ^^

For SRW fans, 1/100 R-1's release date has being postponed to September, a month later than the original schedule, according to Kotobukiya.


The price is still 6,090 Yen (with tax) though.

On a separate note, Wave Corporation announced that they will be releasing a event-limited 1/100 L-Gaim garage kit during C3XHobby held on August 30th and 31st this year. Only 200 kits will be produced, so interested fans have to think of a way to get to the event to grab hold of this kit. The price is 29,000 Yen.

The details of this L-Gaim do seem really awesome though ^^

Also, good news for Transformer fans: a new line of product is coming, called "Alternity", It doesn't look exactly new to me though, ^^; more like a new branch from the Binal Tech or Kiss Ple series, since the vehicle mode are designed after cool cars in our real life as well.

First release: Nissan GT-R 'Ultimate Metal Silver' Convoy? The scale is 1/32, and the price is 4,725 Yen (with tax). Release date TBA.

As with Wave, Takara also has an event limited release from its Transformers series for the upcoming C3XHobby this year:

Stunticon Wildrider the Dark Rodimus ^^; The original version is Hot Rod from Transformers Classic.

Still on Transformers, fans who missed Masterpiece MP-02 Ultra Magnus can rejoice. The white giant will be reissued in November, according to Hobby Net.
