I haven't been paying much attention to the SMP [Shokugan Modeling Project] line and its releases recently, and I can narrow it down to three reasons. First, they're doing combining Brave Series mecha, to which I prefer Kotobukiya's approach of non-transforming kits. Second, they're also doing Super Sentai mecha that I decided to stop buying … Continue reading It’s Been a While Since These Got My Interest: SMP Alternative Destiny Dancouga

SMP Finally Volting In: SMP [Shokugan Modeling Project] Voltes V (Standard / V Together Set)

And I think I've already said multiple times on this blog that I'll stick to Kotobukiya's kits over the SMP stuff. But it's … Continue reading Yep, I’m Still with Kotobukiya: SMP [Shogukan Modeling Project] Might Gaine
Road to SMP No. 100: SMP [Shokugan Modeling Project] Genesis of Aquarion
In 2016, Bandai Candy's Super Minipla line took the simple Minipla kit concept and placed it on a level on par with Bandai Spirits' hobby products. And with its rebranding to SMP [Shokugan Modeling Project] in 2021, the line took even more heights with its engineering and concepts, like the SMP Alternative Destiny sub brand. … Continue reading Road to SMP No. 100: SMP [Shokugan Modeling Project] Genesis of Aquarion
