New Gundam MG – Deathscythe

Aug 09

One of the most anticipated Gundam MG Kit from Bandai is surely Gundam Deathscythe from the Wing series. For the past years, I have been eagerly awaiting an MG kit from the Wing Zero series – only the Wing Ver Ka and the Wing Zero Mobile suits have been released in MG.

Besides Gundam Deathscythe, I also look forward to having Heavy Arms in the Master Grade mold – please oh please!!!

For now, I can be content with the thought that MG Deathscythe will be coming soon – it is set for a September release! Nice! Prepare your 3,990 Yen or around 2,000 Pesos! Woot!

GX-03 Combattler V

Jul 26

Here are some images of Soul of Chogokin GX-03 Combattler V. This was the first SOC Combattler V released – a later version was released last December 09: GX-50 Combattler V.

While the new version is now out in the local toy stores, there is still a considerable number of GX-03 versions for sale.  What I heard with shop owners is that some collectors who have both versions like the old one better. According to feedback, SOX  GX-03 Combattler V is more compact and sturdy.

The Soul of Chogokin GX-03 version is being sold at 5,000 to 6,000 pesos, while GX-50 is sold at 8,000 to 9,000 pesos – depending on the toy store.

Check out what you will get with your GX-03 Combattler V purchase:

Tobikage and Kurojishi SOC-GX 54

Jul 25

The next Soul of Chogokin set for release is the GX-54 Tobikage and Kurojishi. Tobikage and Kurojishi is priced at 8,500 Japanese yen or or 4,500 pesos as listed in hobby link japan and is set for a release this July.

This item already has a low stock status at hobby link Japan – probably due to pre-orders.

GX-54 is set to arrive in Philippine shores by next month or Early September, but thanks to this site (hima-toy.cocolog-nifty.com) we can have an initial look at how Chogokin is in terms of transformation and design.
