Gundam the Origin Updates

A small batch of updates today since I received my copy of the Gundam the Origin Character and Mechanical Works book (Volume 1): For new pages, I’ve added the Arcana-class Space Passenger Ship and the Large Civilian Spaceship Lunar Line.

Introducing Tyrant Sword

Today I am proud to begin introducing yet another groundbreaking entry of translated Gundam material.

G-SAVIOUR PROMOTIONAL TRAILER

G-Saviour has been one of those entries into the Gundam franchise that everyone tries to dismiss as “alt-UC” or ignoring altogether. In October of 1995, work began on a promotional trailer (as well as the feature film). In March of 1997, the trailer was complete. Linked below is how that promotional trailer played out. In June of […]

OLD GUNDAM PUBLICATIONS

Over the years my Gundam collection has steadily grown. I’ve been on a quest to try and locate older Gundam material from the formative years of Gundam and provide fans in the community an insight into works that will never, ever see the light of day in English much less the Japanese side again. Periodically, […]
