It’s that time of the year again as Shizuoka Hobby Show 2026 kicks into high gear with new and upcoming releases from various companies and properties. Much like the previous years, I will only mention stuff that interests me, which isn’t to say I’ll be getting them either.

We’re one year past the broadcast premiere of Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX and one year past my build of the original HG GQuuuuuuX.

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.

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.
