    Collectibles and Figures Guide

    Before You Buy

    Limited & Exclusive Releases: Certain figures are produced in limited quantities or as store exclusives. Availability may be limited, and restocks are not guaranteed.

    Blind Box Items: Some figures come in blind boxes, meaning you will receive a random character. Please check the product description before purchasing.

    Pre-Orders: If the figure is a pre-order item, check the estimated release date and shipping timeline before placing an order.


    How to Care for Your Figures

    Avoid Direct Sunlight: UV exposure can cause colors to fade over time. Store figures away from direct sunlight.

    Temperature & Humidity Control: Keep figures in a cool, dry place to prevent warping or deterioration of materials.

    Regular Dusting: Use a soft brush or compressed air to gently remove dust without damaging delicate paintwork.

    Storage for Extra Parts: Some figures come with interchangeable hands, faces, or accessories. Store them in labeled bags or small containers to prevent loss.


    What you need
    Display:

    Some figures include stands, but others may require an additional stand for better stability.
    Recommendation: Action Base 5

    Protective Cases:

    If you wish to keep your collectibles in pristine condition, consider using acrylic display cases or protective boxes.

    Camera:

    Use a good camera or smartphone with proper lighting, like a ring light or softbox, for clear and detailed photos.

      If you don't succeed, try again

      Ahhhhhh, Bael...my very first Gundam kit...and due to it being my first, I made many mistake. You couldn't tell a first, but over time and over many Gundam kits, you could tell that it was a disaster. The legs were loose, the backpack wing assembly was constantly breaking off (eventually one of the pegs that you put each wing into broke off but I fixed it but still....), and the detail was sorely lacking. So, after a year of languishing, I decided to start from scratch and try again.

      This time, it was quite the revelation: the joints fitted together perfectly and it was a solid build; the backpack assembly that had previously tormented me, became a joy and truly completes Bael's look (turns out the connector joint assembly that connects the wing to the backpack was upside down and had been causing movement interference, hence the finnicky backpack), and detailing the Gundam truly gave it a fresh new look. The new version now proudly sits on my table, standing as if McGillis is in it proclaiming his new world order once again.

      P.S. As a little homage to the fact that this was my first Gundam, I reused the chest and shoulders from the older kit, partly out of the aforementioned homage, but also because they had some decals on them that gave it a bit more real look.

      Regal, but something is missing

      This twin sword wielding angelic kit has a great presence. But it lacks something to be top tier. Maybe it's the lack of accessories, or color variations, or just that the pilot is a punk. Still, it looks good with its wings (if you call them that) spread and swords drawn. Like other IBO kits, they fade with time (loose parts) so put it in a good pose and keep it.

      Gjallarhorn's Pride And Joy

      As the first flagship Gundam of Gjallarhorn and the Calamity War, this suit has a lot to live up to. I'm pleased to say that it succeeds in what it had to do, and I love it for it. I wish there was a bit more part separation, particularly at the V-Fin and the Gjallarhorn symbol on its shoulder. I definitely suggest panel lining to bring out the details and break up the absurd amount of white plastic on this guy. He may seem plain OOB, but put in that extra bit of effort and Bael will show you why McGillis wanted him so badly.

      Great Gundam, weird pilot

      It was really easy to build and its also a great Gundam in general, stickers were a bit hard to put on but that's about it
