Coming from my abysmal progress on the HGUC Narrative Gundam C-Packs build in my last update, I decided that I will finish this kit over the recent long weekend. And finish I did.

During the last All Japan Model & Hobby Show, Bandai Hobby revealed, albeit in a cylindrical enclosure, the HG 1/100 VF-1J from the original Super Dimensional Fortress Macross and is being released as part of the franchise’s 45th anniversary celebration.

My collection of giant and not-so-giant robots isn’t that much different from those owned by other collectors. These just happen to have loose ‘inclusion criteria’ to suit my preference and are presented as ‘CATALOGUE Entries’ that feature creative photography.
The MECHA CATALOGUE isn’t different from any other blog or website that covers mecha anime and the hobbies or collectibles it spawned. That said, and this will sound really clichéd, the site was always meant to be my best expression of the hobby through visual media.

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.
