Anime Festival Asia 2009 Day One Part 2: Bandai - Dreams & Creations =)

Ren is back for Day One Part 2 of AFA 2009!! =D gonna be another long post.. heh. this post will mainly focus on Bandai's products: Gunpla and Tamashii Nation. its the biggest booth in AFA, there's jus too many things to take photos of.. not to mention crowds and crowds of pple! 

Dreams and Creations is the theme of these collections. =) i'll start with Gunpla and the main highlight of the exhibition.. 

<夢.クリエーション>


Perfect Grade 00 Raiser Gundam



PG 00 Raiser Gundam


it gave me the same feeling when i first saw it at Tokyo's Plamo 2009 exhibition..
Filled with awe. *.*


This kit looks like its panel lined.. but the details are really intricate.


Side view..


Weapon and ammunitions..


00 Gundam and Raiser


Very nice.. ^^ im back in Tokyo.. XD


00 Gundam


Raiser with its weapon systems. sweeet.






PG 00 Raiser Clear parts! i think it'll look very cool with all the details inside.

Looking at PG 00 Raiser Gundam... i can only envy Evangelisque.. XD man!!! she's getting this awesome kit.. even tho there's some slight flaws.. BUT who's gonna play with it everyday?? the main point is to have it displayed somewhere in your house!! and pple who sees it will drop their jaws.. Btw, i did mentioned somewhere above that i saw this PG 00 Raiser Gundam in Tokyo's Plamo 2009 exhibition.. well i did take alot of photos for that event too.. jus that i din have time to sort out the photos and my tokyo trip's posts are moving very slowly.. lolx.. so many things to blog! so little time! i hope i can show you pple soon.. =)

HGUC Unicorn Gundam.. why is there only one Unicorn but two Destroyers??



MG Unicorn Gundam





The Astrays series.. their poses are really bland. given the fact that they're designed for posing!!! >.>



Mr Regen Dual Gundam is the only one really trying i guess.

New HG Susanowo. looks nice with the samurai feeling. ^^




More SD Gundams love... =)


Perfect Grade Collections...

Zaku II. love the eye... ^^


Char's Zaku II. The Red Comet. sorry its blurred..


Astray Red Frame Gundam. nice.. love to get it too..


BAKUC Singapore 2009 Champion!



 


The details on Unicorn Gundam is amazing.. i guess he put in alot of effort on the display base that's why he won the competition.. i say that becos.......


this Zaku-II entry is also as good and breathtaking. but the base was jus a normal mold or smthing.. man. its really a close fight.


Zaku II pilot.


Side view. don't you think its a close fight too??


Limited Edition Gunplas available at AFA 2009. *BLING BLING BLING* ouch. XD


SD Gundam World Set Chrome Color Coating Version


MG Impulse Gundam Chrome Color Coating Version


MG Zaku II Ver2.0 Chrome Color Coatin Version. this is the kit that's snapped up super fast.


MG RX-78-2 Gundam Ver2.0 Mechanical Smoked Clear Version. ^^ i really liked the inner frames of ver2.0 more than its exterior. that's why i got this.. a transparent Core fighter too!! imagine you can combine it with Guntank and G-armor.. heh.


Close up..


Okays. that's the end for the Gunpla part of the post.. hope you liked the photos.. now we're moving on to the Tamashi Nation sections.. with ready-made figures on display... =) im not really sure abt the names of all the characters.. so i'll jus let the photos talk to you.

  3. Nice photos.

    You got the MG RX-78-2 smoked clear version, I thought they are only exclusive to the upcoming Gundam Expo in Hong Kong, How much did you pay for it?

  4. Man nice! Being my other half you covered the stuff that I didn't take lol nice!

    Like rocklee we both need more dough!!!

  5. I am dizzy with happiness now. XDDDDD And yeah, I'm aware that the kit comes with flaws and is not very popular, but I'm still going to take it home, while keeping these flaws in mind. Nobody stands between me and my first PG!! Those clear parts are sweet - still undecided as to whether I should get them for completion sake since they're kind of expensive xDD Thank you for the pics - I almost feel as though I'm seeing the displays myself. And I look forward to your Tokyo Plamo Show pics. =DDD

    Also, what the...one entire missing runner for Wing Zero. :/ Sometimes I wish that it was easier to ask for extra parts from Bandai. Heard that HLJ used to do it, but then they stopped. One missing part is okay [putty to the rescue], but one missing runner is just... -_-

    Kind of amused at how clean Zeta is compared to the other PG displays. XDDD And woot!! Clear parts campaign is coming to Singapore!!

    Thank you for the report again, love the pics. *__* And good luck for your JLPT!!

  7. @rockleelotus: lolx. maybe you could stick to nendoroids eh?? XD dough funds!! ohhh.. you're getting kabuto too? cool! i'll see more of your figma x kamen riders den! thanks alot!! glad you like the photos too. =) haha yes. smtimes too much info is baad. ^^

    @moemoekyun: heh.. good for you! hopefully someone will sell online? =) haha.. danny's wife.. yoda: 'patience.. young padawan..' XD

    @anonymous: thank you =) oh.. i think that's the misconception alot of pple had.. cos Gundam Expo HK is heavily publicized and AFA is jus a South East Asia event and still a young body organising anime-related event. so not many pple know. if my memory serves me well, singapore AFA is the first to launch this kit in Asia. oh.. i think i paid close to $100 for it. jus a little more den the normal version. ^^

    @chubbybots: lolx! we can chogokin combine too alr. XD thanks thanks! yeah!! to more dough!!!

    @Evangelisque: hahaha.. im sure you are. im a little drunk myself from the happiness you're oozing out. XD are the clear parts expensive? cos i've seen some SG online gunpla shop.. the price diff isn't that much.. $20-40 more? you're more den welcomed.. bank acc 23985-64325869-435982574. thank you. lolx! XD i hope to post plamo's pic up soon after AFA.

    ya.. tt's quite a damper. oh.. HLJ dun collect runner lists anymore? i tot they'll still coagulate the list and send them.. hmm sad. one less option.

    heh! Zeta is really smooth rite... lolx!
    thanks! =)

  9. Wow... I stopped breathing when I scrolling down and admire the scenes. I imagine the MG Kshatriya (Kesatria or "warrior/knight") would be X-Box HUEG~!

    Must start breathing~! >_< *takes in breaths*

    ReplyDelete
  10. @Marzz: lolx.. i see.. hmmmmm... XD
