🎥 Bandai Namco just announced the most ambitious Gundam game in years... and it looks absolutely insane! 🔥🤖⚔️

The Gundam franchise is heading in a bold new direction with GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT, a brand-new action game revealed by Bandai Namco at Summer Game Fest 2026. Scheduled for release in 2027, the game introduces an original story, new characters, and a fresh universe built for both longtime fans and newcomers.

From the reveal trailer, expect:

⚔️ High-speed melee combat
🚀 Fast-paced mobile suit action
🤖 The all-new Gundam Helix
🌌 Massive battlefields and giant boss encounters
🎮 Coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in 2027

The combat already gives off serious action-game vibes with aggressive movement, huge swords, and cinematic battles that feel closer to an anime blockbuster than a traditional Gundam game.

As a Gundam fan, I'm excited to see Bandai Namco try something different while still keeping the spirit of giant robots, epic battles, and humanity's fight for survival.

What do you think of the reveal? 👇

🔥 Day 1 purchase?
🔥 Waiting for more gameplay?
🔥 Or are you hoping for Gunpla kits from Rogue Orbit?

📦 UNBOXING: 30MM Full Armor Portanova 📦

Just picked up the 30 Minutes Missions Full Armor Portanova from and I couldn't wait to crack open the box and take a look at what's inside!

First impressions? This thing looks absolutely loaded with armor, weapons, and customization potential. The military-inspired design, dark green color scheme, and bulky silhouette give it a powerful battlefield presence right out of the box.

Today is all about the unboxing and getting a closer look at the runners, manual, parts breakdown, and what Bandai packed into this kit. So far, the engineering and details are looking promising, and I'm already getting ideas for future customization.

👀 Build coming soon

⚔️ UNBOXING: 30 Minutes Fantasy Droskeleton ⚔️

The latest addition to the 30 Minutes Fantasy line has officially landed on my workbench!

This is the Droskeleton, a unique skeletal warrior kit packed with character, sharp details, and tons of customization potential straight out of the box. The design perfectly blends dark fantasy aesthetics with the easy-to-build and highly modular system that the 30MF series is becoming known for.

First impressions? The sculpting and proportions look fantastic, and there are already plenty of ideas running through my head for where this project could go. 👀

Huge thanks to for having this kit!

Qingzhou Kurofune HG 1/144 Hyper Gizmo Python

This third-party take on the Serpent from Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz definitely caught my attention. The Python is noticeably larger than a typical HG kit and comes packed with detail, articulation, and an impressive arsenal.

Included in the box:
🔹 Beam Rifle
🔹 Double Cannons
🔹 Bazooka
🔹 Axe
🔹 8 interchangeable hand options

After building it, I was genuinely impressed by the overall design, proportions, and shelf presence. The articulation is solid, and the mechanical detailing gives it a unique look that stands out from other 1/144 scale kits.

It's not without a few issues. I encountered some minor fitting problems that required a bit of shaving and cleanup. There are also a few areas that could be improved, particularly around the shoulder assemblies and the lower torso-to-leg connection, where some internal parts felt a little too exposed.

That said, these are relatively minor complaints on an otherwise enjoyable build.

⭐️ Final Verdict: Recommended 😎

If you're a fan of heavy-weapon mobile suits or are looking for a unique alternative to the Serpent, the Python is definitely worth checking out.

📦 Qingzhou / Kurofune Model 1/144 Hyper Gizamo Python

Simple brown box, but plenty of interesting details inside. The full-color manual is a nice touch, and the parts look promising right out of the gate.

This is a third-party 1/144 scale model kit designed as an alternative to the MMS-01 Serpent from Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. It is known for its high-quality plastic, good articulation, and significant size, often described as larger than standard HG kits.

FATCAT RX-78-2
Got mine from a while. Back but only got around to finishing it now. Prep and Leading for Anime North took most of my time but know that's over, before I crack the new. Kits I want to. Tidy up and cleanup some past started builds :)

Imo this is the right scale for the model. The 2.0 at 1/100 feels better. Some parts are tight so modifications were required but the details pop out more at this scale. Also it came with extra weapons and an extra core fighter! More pics to come after I set up the photo booth again :)

Let me know what u of the FATCAT??
