My favs of Tamashii Nations 2012: Diecast Gunpla and Chogokin Mazinger Z Rocket Punch

Out of all the stuff I've seen from the coverage of Tamashii nations (Aside from the GX-62 Dangurad Ace) these are the two things I'm looking forward to because they look like they are loaded with diecast.

DIECAST GUNPLA?!!!! This is amazing to me...What will it be called? GunMetal? Can't be called Gun"PLA". I wonder how diehard Gunpla people feel about this. I for one will love it and hump it. It's an RX-78-2!

I heard about this a little while back and I didn't know what it was...I still don't but I do see Chogokin logos in the back. Will this be a solid metal Mazinger Z fist? Or a fully articulated Maznger Z fist? Either way, really cool. Kind of goes with my whole Rocket Punch theme.

Bandai Golion and Korean Voltron Model kits

As most of my followers know, I bought a few Voltron items at Comic Con. Aside from the big sets, I bought two small kits. I don't plan on ever building them since I really only bought them for the artwork. The Bandai Golion kit is on the left and features a very classic representation on my favorite robot. The Korean kit shows a lesser seen rendition of this robot, but awesome nonetheless.

1/144 RG RX-78-2 Gundam E.F.S.F. kit

I picked this kit up at the Bluefin booth at Comic Con. Seeing as it was the smallest kit out of the bunch I got, I figured it would be a breeze... I was wrong. I took my time trimming flash, sanding the surface if mold swirls were present, panel lining etc. Im doing stickers now and they are a huge pain. Excellent kit though. SO much detail for a 1/144... as a matter of fact lots of details regardless of size. Contemplating whether or not to dullcoat it.
