New Arrivals: The Society of the Walking Vocaloids Revolutions

Chris | November 6, 2011

by Chris Troy Yeah, even I’ll admit the title for this article is a bit weak. Anywho FPNYC faithful, if you haven’t been by the store lately, you should probably check out the new display we have set up in the front window. While FPNYC has been slowing down on keeping Gunpla kits in stock, [...]

End of the Year Gunpla Releases

Chris | October 13, 2011

By Loran With episode of four of Gundam Unicorn just around the corner and Gundam AGE having just premiered a few days ago, it’s time to look at some new upcoming kits! Let’s see what we’ve got this time around… First off, we have colored pictures for the GM II. I’m a bit sad that [...]

Gundam AGE kit releases

Chris | September 21, 2011

By Loran Next month, Gundam AGE will be hitting the airwaves in Japan. I’ve made my thoughts on the show pretty clear in my last article on the series, though I think my opinion is starting to change. While I have no plans on actively following the show while it’s airing, I don’t feel as [...]

More Fall Gunpla Releases

Chris | September 9, 2011

By Loran It’s a new quarter, and that means new Gunpla! Actually, it’s ALWAYS time to look at new Gunpla, but what the hell, let’s take a look at some new stuff coming out in the near future. As always my focus will be on High Grades and Master Grades will be clearly marked. OK, [...]

Real Grade Aile Strike Gundam Review

Chris | September 5, 2011

By Loran When Real Grade started out with the original RX-78 Gundam I was… kind of upset, really. It was less than a year after we got the 30th Anniversary High Grade Gundam. It just felt a little premature to be giving us “the ultimate kit” so soon after that. Time went on and I [...]

HGUC Guards Type Geara Zulu Review

Chris | August 14, 2011

By Loran Yes, yes, I’ve been sort of slacking with the Gunpla reviews. But don’t worry, I’ve got a good one this time! Yep, it’s the Geara Zulu, one of the kits I won at Otakon this year. Normally I don’t build kits like this. I much prefer to paint and stuff as I go, [...]

New High Grade Model kits for August-October

Chris | August 14, 2011

By Loran It’s that time again! Yep, I’m going to be looking at some of the upcoming Gunpla releases for the coming months, namely the stuff I’m interested in. That means one thing: It’s mostly gonna be HGUC stuff. If you prefer Master Grades, well, I struggle to wonder why you even read my reviews [...]

Otakon 2011 Wrap Up

Chris | August 6, 2011

By Loran Otakon has run its course once again, and I’d say it was pretty good to us this year. I got to see lots of people, work autograph sessions for Bandai Entertainment’s booth, and get my feet all cut up by boots that were two sizes too small for me. Whoops. All in all [...]

The Road to Otakon & BAKUC prelims 2011

Chris | July 27, 2011

By Loran Otakon is almost upon us once again, and that of course, means many things: cosplay, buying stuff, and general nerdery… but for me, the most important part is the model contest once again. Good ol’ BAKUC Earlier this year I was so pumped up for what I was gonna build. I had them [...]

HGUC Gouf Custom Review

Chris | July 13, 2011

By Loran Man, was 2001 really ten years ago? I remember back then, the 08th MS Team Gundam kits were showing up on American toy shelves. I got the Gouf Custom in the fall that year, and boy did I love it. I remember back then we still considered kits from the 0080 line–released twelve [...]
