Goodsmile has been quietly releasing Dougram models for a long time. They don't have distribution in America so you have to import them though. But this means they're gonna at some point do a Tequila Gunner, which I MUST HAVE

Huh I didn't know that; I assumed Dougram was kind of forgotten.

Their Bigfoot model looks fantastic :stwoon:

Going away for a long weekend and don't have time to paint and detail yet, but here's a couple of HGs I hacked together after completing the trial of the PG LED Exia.

So another (possible) mass release P-bandai was announced apparently, the MG Gundam Avalanche Exia Dash

https://www.usagundamstore.com/collections/new/products/pre-order-mg-1-100-gundam-avalanche-exia-dash



USAGundam is the only place Im seeing a listing at right now, they might have put it up early or Im just bad at finding things.

They put it up early, P-Bandai orders don't start until 1PM JST.

Also new on P-Bandai today, Ground Type Gundam with Parachute Pants Pack! It also comes with a bunch of weapons not included in the regular kit as well as a GM head, so in other words it's the best possible version of the kit but screw you consumers!

Eh. Other than the backpack and the tri-missile launcher, it's all stuff that comes with the ground GM. Can't work up too much ire for that. One weapon and one new part falls well within the standard range for these things.

Apparently the start of a 25th anniversary line for Sunrise, so hopefully it equates to some Brave love as well.

But it's not a release that's coming, it's just a custom build by Hobby Japan magazine.

nj. good to know shipping to nyc won't take long.

thanks for the help guys.

Gundamplanet to NYC costs less to 1-day ship than standard shipping. It's basically overnight for me so I buy mostly from them. Midtown Comics on W 40th has the best balance of price and variety I've found in Manhattan (Image Anime is alright too, pricy but tons of kits and the owners are fans, gotta ask an employee for paints), Brooklyn has a few gems (Rui Yong on 59th is overpriced but has good taste, unfortunately all the kits are behind the counter for some godforsaken reason). There's a few shops in Chinatown but my friend isn't super hot on the selection.

Don't forget the Red Caboose for paint supplies, they have literally everything. The owners are huge model train nerds, I don't think they like gunpla very much :maga:

If anyone knows any other good ones please post em

Honestly I wanted to use one of the Graze arms but they connect inversely to the way the Miss Sazabi arms and torso connect (arms have the soft gaps that the hard plastic torso sticks into, vice versa on the Graze arms) and I don't know how to work around that.

If you're a local and want to save on shipping at Gundam Planet by going to pick it up in-store:

1) Use the coupon code "pickup"
2) Specify your mailing address as anywhere that isn't New Jersey
3) Complete your order as normal
4) Go to Gundam Planet and pick up

Saves on tax and shipping! Plus you can hit up Tang Maru or Shaburo or any of the other kickass Korean places for lunch with the money you saved.

There are a handful of other places within walking distance of Gundam Planet, but I can only account for Shaburo and Tang Maru.

Shaburo can be pricey but if you're hungry, it's awesome. You pick a broth and then you get all-you-can-eat veggies, dumplings, noodles, and fish cakes to cook in it. Meat is extra per plate. Do not miss the hand-torn pumpkin noodles. Go with friends, it's a great social lunch.

Tang Maru is your basic Korean fare but you get a good bang for your buck. I think basically everything comes with a salad and a fried fish. Just a nice little mackerel, flash-fried, whole. Of course you get the kimchi banchan stuff. Their bibimbop bowls are kept in a constant boiling chamber that you can see from the tables, taken out and dried just before they put the rice into it. Keeps it hot, crisps up the bottom.

If you're driving, there's of course massive amounts of great food in Fort Lee. I'm not sure if the bus route by GP runs through Fort Lee as well, but if it does, and you can go to Menya Sandaime, GO THERE. It's among the best ramen I've ever had.
