By Rose It's Suletta Sunday once again, which arbitrarily means it's time to take another peek into Rose's Robot Room. It's been a while! Pretend it hasn't! I've decided to take a dive into the Iron-Blooded Orphans spinoff line, Urðr Hunt, starting with the HG Gundam Asmoday. The IBO line has been a mixed bag so far, some incredible designs marred by loose joints and an over-reliance on stickers. The Asmoday, unfortunately, is no different. Let's take a look.
By Rose The Mobile Suit Gundam franchise was granted the honor of representing Japan as one of their pavilion ambassadors for Expo 2020 Dubai (an event which began in 2021, you know why). And, as is customary for Gundam, you just can’t have that franchise show up for a major event without a bespoke Gunpla figure to match. Sold under the limited edition Premium Bandai line, this pre-order exclusive model kit is a recolor of the High Grade Granddaddy Gundam itself: Amuro Ray’s RX-78-2, the titular Mobile Suit from the 1979 series that started it all.
By Rose After a long wait, Bandai Namco and Sunrise Animation have finally dropped a wealth of information regarding the newest upcoming mainline entry in the Gundam franchise — Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury. Announced in September of 2021, The Witch From Mercury is the first mainline entry in the series since 2015’s Iron Blooded Orphans.
By Rose Almost everybody building gunpla in the US has heard of the USA Gundam Store. The Florida-based company is known for their personal touch, usually including stickers and signed postcards with every order they receive. Omnipresent across the USAGS website and merchandise is their cute robot mascot Apex, seen below:
