I was aiming to post this around the end of August, but mid-to-late September should be fine too. The Gundam Base Pop-Up has been having their World Tour for 2026, and fortunately for us, Manila is part of the itinerary. The pop-up store ran for two months from July to August, with people particularly excited … Continue reading Some Late Unsolicited Thoughts: The Gundam Base Pop-Up World Tour 2026 – Manila
A couple of months ago, Bandai Hobby announced a new HG 1/35 Lancelot model kit in development as part of Code Geass’ 20th Anniversary.

Retaining that rigid definition of being “a comprehensive index with the primary purpose of tracking and organizing collectibles.”, it basically means CATALOGUE entries are not reviews but more of my overall thoughts and impressions on a figure or model kit. Reviews would still be present, definitely, but they’ll be more of featured articles.
I’m targeting further expansion of my visual story telling through more photos across the site. Whether it’s an old section like The CATALOGUE, the relaunched One Shots galleries, or even quick blog posts. That also includes the new photo-oriented and responsive site layout.
