Here's a look at some of the Gundams and mechas at C3xHobby Chara Hobby 2008.

Love the glossy finish on this Qubeley kit. Mono-eye lights up!

'lil Zaku II's first tricycle.
































Basket O' Doms!

0 Gundam from Gundam 00. Oooo~!
































Gundam Rasiel from Gundam 00P.

































Now let's move on to other mechas. Here's a "live-action movie version" of Ingram from Patlabor. Was there ever a live-action movie made for the series?

Volks Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann resin kit - painted and unpainted version on display. The unpainted resin kit will be made avaialble through Volks retail stores throughout Japan from 1 September 2008 onwards.
















Chara Hobby was the last chance fans get to pre-order the 1/144 PVC action figure. More info. One of the most highly-detailed upcoming action figure release of the mecha that I've seen thus far! Ordered one for my own collection and an extra piece for auction when it is released sometime in Fall 2008.















Super-bloody battle.















IMO, the mechas of Muv-Luv look nearly identical to one another but this definitely stands out!















So does this bright yellow mecha!
