In the Backlog as long as “Hathaway 2” was in Production: HGUC Xi Gundam – Work in Progress #1
I purchased the HGUC Xi Gundam at the same time it came out in stores, which is around the same time as Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway came out, right in the middle of the pandemic. So, while I secured the kit, I really didn’t feel building it. The kit stayed in the backlog since then, … Continue reading In the Backlog as long as “Hathaway 2” was in Production: HGUC Xi Gundam – Work in Progress #1
Bandai Hobby Q4 2026 Reveals: HG Alteisen Riese, and others of Interest
Bandai Hobby held their online announcement for Q4 2026 releases, where most of them were already revealed during the Shizuoka Hobby Show some weeks ago.

The CATALOGUE
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.
About
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.
Hobbies. Collections.
It is all about focusing on three key aspects — hobbies, collections, and photographs. Hobbies and collections are self-explanatory, that’s what The CATALOGUE is. 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.
Photographs.
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.
