Wow! This is it! The 2.5 metre-height of Mitsuteru Yokohama’s late Tetsujin 28’s head is now put on a public display. Well sort of, judging by the look of these pictures from CartoonLeap.com

The unveiling sure is a giveaway.  As this suggests the whole Tetsujin 28 construction is currently underway so what better way to generate public interests is to grant them a glimpse view of its incredibly believable head design of Tetsujin 28.

It is a magnificent thing to view. Said to be weighing at least 50 tonnes. Considering all the parts they had to use to make his limbs less than 8 weeks ago, it would make a complete sense how the building engineers have come up with a  figure summed up like that!  The Kobe Project was estimated to be worth around 100 million yen to construct and build and most of these funds come from donations of individual and corporate firms.

It sure has come a long way since they began this project back in June.  But it’s worth the wait to see the finale of everything once its final construction gets done by September!  Fingers-crossed!!

Less than a week ago, Danny Choo, Earth’s greatest otaku expert, just announced that there’s a Gundam Giveaway contest, currently hosted by Tamashii Robot website. There are 3 Gundams to give away. The contest involves having the participants to design a Gundam model of their own and they must submit them to Tamashii Robot by a certain cut-off point. Once submitted, Tamashii will review the designs and decide which of three them deserves the best looks so they could claim ultimate prize. I would love to give a go but I’m still new to Gundam Kit modelling so I have to sit this one out. :(.

I  bumped onto this link the other day from someone’s blog (which I couldn’t remember the life out of me) on Mazinger Z.  Basically, it’s one of the collectible toys that’s released by Bandai that conforms with standards of “Soul of Chogokin” disciplines.  I do not know a great deal of what “Soul of Chogokin” is about, but my understanding is (after reading from Collectiondx.com) they’re all the up-market action figures of famous classic robots, normally imbued with very high-durable materials when manufactured, which sets them apart from other ordinary robot toy lines children get to play such Lego’s Bionicle.  These items are targeted for the more mature audiences who are keen to collect them as part of their growing memoriabilia in order to reconnect their former childhood memories of fun they had when watching them.  Much like myself.   (Though I am not really a collector, only because they’re slightly out of my personal budget. For the moment…)

Regardless, I just thought it would be nice to share this with everyone, just to take a glimpse of the incredible designs it’s formed (see below).  Aparrently, according to the link, you can purchase this online for Â¥4907 , saving of 22% discount.  I don’t speak or write Japanese but looking at the store’s link, it’s pretty clear about their layout when they highlighted the slashed price in bold and red. (Go figure!).  It also comes with other accessories that assemble with this unit as well.
