AZM Ally Kiey sent along news that Bandai is about to unleash a 1/48 scale Gundam! Picture above is a scale comparison all the way from the tiny 1/144 HGUC to the gigantic 1/48. See how it dominates the Perfect Grade! There are more amazing photos of this thing in action over at Tomopop.

While the size of the MEGA SIZE MODEL Gundam is quite impressive in and of itself, what I find most insanely awesome is the price. HobbyLink Japan has this puppy for only ¥7,800 (about $86.28USD). Considering the Perfect Grade RX-78-2 is ¥12,000 (about $132.74USD), that’s crazy nuts! I’m guessing it lacks the internal detailing insanity that is standard in the PG series to make it actually affordable. But the size, THE SIZE. Do. Want. Now.

Oh, if it were only closer to my birthday. I would buy this thing, assemble it, slap on the Yellow Peril logo, and take him with me to cons as my awesome booth babe! I love Gundam Wednesdays!

So epically manly!

No matter what gender you are, I believe that playing this game will either put hair on your chest or make your head explode. Or both. Probably both. This is Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star) Musou style. The same company that turned Gundam into a Dynasty Warriors type game is doing the same with Hokuto no Ken.

DO WANT!

It’s coming to the PS3 and 360. Hopefully we’ll get a US version that we can all drool over. Hell, they released the Gundam Musou here and no one likes giant robots in America. I’m thinking releasing Fist of the North Star is a no brainer.

For a limited time, Bandai Channel is streaming the first seven minutes of Gundam Unicorn in English. There’s a lot of exposition and set up and some headscratching on my part, but the shit kicks into high gear at around the six minute mark. That’s when Neo Zeon ace pilot Marida Cruz jumps in her Kshatriya and fucking dominates a whole bunch of Jegans. Goddamn, it’s a gorgeous Mobile Suit battle. I love the little details when they focus on Marida’s hand as she taps the buttons on the controls. So amazing. This is what the UC is all about!

As badass as the Kshatriya is, I think it’s a tad overpowered. I mean, the Jegans can’t do shit against it. Marida cuts through them like butter. Also, why haven’t the Feddies built suits with Funnels. Oh sure, Amuro gets Funnels in his RX-93 Nu Gundam, but the Jegans? They just get shitty missiles. I’m pretty sure the Unicorn will be just as overpowered as the Kshatriya so it’ll all probably even out in the end. But whatever, the battle is beautiful. I’m still not pleased with the pricing scheme, but Unicorn looks fucking fantastic. A nice big geeky love letter to the UC.

“Form feet and legs! Form arms and body! And I’ll form the adorably cute girl who has the bestest costume ever head!”

I hope she goes to school like that every day and kicks the shit out of all the bullies in the school yard. This is the greatest photo of the greatest costume I have ever seen. Ever. EVER!

I fucking knew it! Thanks to AZM Ally Hawk for uncovering this video footage that proves once and for all that Zordon was a racist, misogynistic pig of a floating head!

The crew at HJU Radio is back with another episode. In Part 1, they talk about all sorts of geeky shit including the fighting game that stands at the top of all fighting games, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom (release it on 360 already, pleeeeeeeeez!). In Part 2, they pay tribute to Power Ranger RPM, possibly the last Americanized Power Rangers show we will get.

I guess now that she’s not going to play MJ anymore and I guess now that no one’s going to give him another Terminator movie ever, Kirsten Dunst and McG have some time to dick around Akihabara. Along with artist Takashi Murakami, who we’ve featured before, Kirsten, McG, and Murakami have unleashed the Akihabara Majokko Princess. Huh?

Be warned, once you see it, you cannot unsee it.

Thanks, I think, to AZM Ally Hawk for sending this over.

OH! NSFW because of cartoon boobage.

Remember folks, tokusatsu fandom begins at birth! Bandai is releasing this set of ten absolutely adorable onesies from Japan’s most favorite tokusatsu and anime shows! Just look! You can dress up your babay as Devilman, Doraemon, Ultra Seven, Ultraman, Goku, a Shocker trooper, Kamen Rider, Go Ranger Red, or Go Ranger Pink.

Seriously cute. So now the question is do you have babies just so you can dress them up as Ichigo and Shocker and pit them against each other to film your own live-action chibi Kamen Rider remake or… um… do you buy them for your friends who are having babies?

Okay, forget all that shit I said about subtlety. There’s nothing subtle about Windows icons dancing a fool.

And now the Korean Winphone song is stuck in my head! I’m soooo buying this shit!

Jabroni Pictures who we’ve featured before returns with their own take on Tokusatsu with Episode 1 of Battle Hero Absolute. I’m really digging the diy Kamen Rider feel to the filming. The fight choreography is quite good as well as the editing. Clocking in at 11 minutes, it feels like a full episode of a Rider show. Can’t wait for more! I just wish I had a shit ton of money to throw at them to design them a proper Rider suit.

Oh, and if you listen closely, you can hear AZM Ally Mike Dent’s golden voice as a new reporter and voice-over voice of voicyness.
