Chibi RX-78-2 Gundam

It was my birthday recently! So like your typical adult male I got myself a gift! Like your not so typical adult male I got myself a cute miniaturized robot figure from my favourite anime series…

I got the chibi version of the iconic RX-78-2 Gundam. If you havent seen my video from my pilgramage to the Life-sized Unicorn Gundam in Tokyo earlier this year or my visit to the Gundam Cafe in Tokyo almost 7 years ago now during my 1st trip to Japan you should check them out and SURPRISE! I’m really fond of giant robots.

I chose a chibi Gundam because they are easy to build, cheap and most importantly sturdy. I’ve owned a few chibi Gundam models over the years and I havent been disappointed yet. As much as I love Gundam models I’ve been knownΒ to grow bored and stop mid build in the past ( Sorry Zaku, I”ll finish building you one day I promise). The plan in to pimp out out my home in Japan with stuff from my favourite anime, games, movies etc.- a process that is still ongoing.

Building Rex (Yes I’ve named him) took me a few hours while I binged a new Netflix series called “On My Block” check it out its awesome – Jasmin is bae – nobody else is allowed to love her! I saw her first. Back to Rex, I”m happy with the finished product – I think I will assign him guard duty in my Genkan.

I usually take part in reddit gift exchanges – for those who don’t know it is a blind gift exchange facilitated by Reddit.com where you exchange gifts with random people anythere in the world on a particular topic or for a particular occasion from Christmas to plushies to anime and manga. As faith would have it the last reddit gift exchange I participated in was under the anime and manga theme – and guess what my randomly chosen reddit person sent me? Wing Zero from friken Gundam Wing Endless Waltz movie – I feel like I am 14-year-old again and rushing home after table tennis practice to watch Toonami on cartoon network.
