Times Have Changed! - Japanese Import Toys not what they used to be.

[@AndreSjoberg]

Went to Japan last years summer with my «kid» (he’s 19) and we ended up with an extra suitcase with just Gundam kits (mostly for him …) :) The prices there, especially compared to Norway is insanely low, if we had filled another suitcase and sold them here we could have almost paid for the trip - Managed to visit the huge animated robot in Yokohama before they shut it down as well and filmed the whole long startup sequence as well, so much fun there and the Mandarake-stores are just crazy full of everything - gonna have to go back again at some point, but nice to see some Gundam sneak into this channel as well, this channel has turned into my favourite modern «the good old days» showcase to force feed my kid with all the cool stuff we grew up with ;)

[@slimehousetv]

@@AndreSjoberg oh You always gotta get that extra suitcase on the way home from Japan, I always throw all of my clothes in a big soft giant suitcase sized bag, And use my hard case for the valuables 👌

[@AndreSjoberg]

@ Absolutely :) One big advantage to bringing home Gunpla: the kits weigh almost nothing ;)

[@RANDOMLOOPGENERATOR]

Just built the Guntank myself today, absolutely loving Gunplas. Big fan of Psycho Goreman too, quality movie! Bronx Warriors poster is a beauty, I've had the pleasure of meeting Enzo G Castellari, shared calamari with him lol, lovely fella. Great video, first I've seen of yours and I've happily subscribed. Great content!

What was the big company?

[@yakdeculture9761]

Make vinyl action figure versions of your favorite gundams! Give them the Playmates aesthetic, with limited articulation and everything. That'd be sick.

[@jeffholt9437]

They already make action figures of the main Gundam....

Loved that Re-Ment Evangelion collection, even if it's something I'm not used to see. I've been collecting gunpla for years but stopped due budget/lack of time, but this video was a cool refresher of why they're so awesome. BTW what would be the best UK based stores you'd recommend re:latest japanese imports? I have a friend visiting from London and he offered to get something for me. I checked Forbidden Planet & Kikatek but their inventory is very limited, I'm looking for something that stocks soul of chogokin, CCSTOYS, etc. Every reddit post I've seen recommends I should just import it from HLJ, Amiami, etc but I'm not sure about shipping times & fees. The product I'm looking to get weights only 520g but the box dimensions are 24.7 x 21.4 x 10.2 cm.

[@battlechasers.]

Took your advice and went to Hobbycraft near me 8n Derby. Got 4 kits to try out, so im a big fan of this no glue lark. Whats the biggest kit that bandai namco do??

[@ArionRDAW]

I assume you bought a bunch of HG kits. They are 1/144 scale. Now imagine a complete HG mech being the pilot of another mech... Try looking up the HG Neo Zeong and zoom in close to the upper chest of a completed build... If however you want, say a regular RX-78 Gundam but at that huge size, look up Perfect Grade, they are 1/60 scale (Adam Savage of Mythbusters built one and loved it, you can find the video on KZbin).

[@battlechasers.]

@ArionRDAW thanks for the advice bro. Im after the kit that Mr Savage made, for a PC build as I mentioned to Bents today at the Dono Games Fair.

[@TOKYOTOYBANZAI]

Hell yeah brother. I knew if anyone could shoot the hell out of that translucent glitter PG sofubi, it'd be you! Appreciate all the sincere praise on that figure. The team poured their souls into it!

[@slimehousetv]

Magnificent piece brother, thanks again to you and the lads for sending it! 🙏🙏🙏

[@ivantsang2156]

What scale is the EVA miniature? Is it 1/12 scale ?

[@slimehousetv]

@@ivantsang2156 hey, it's a perfect grade kit so maybe like 1/60 I'll have to have a proper look I did do a video covering it a bit better about 5 months ago the one with 'RARE JAPANESE GOLD' in the thumbnail, So that shows a lot more clips of it 🙏

[@slimehousetv]

@@ivantsang2156 oh wait sorry, I thought you was talking about the evangelion model kit I showed a quick clip of (my bad haha) The scale is like Dolls House scale, It's nice with figma figures apparently, check out REMENT all of their miniature stuff like this will be in the same scale I'm sure

[@jreign]

Brought me back when breaking down that mad scientist kit. I can still remember having a hard time closing that plastic stitch up. Wish I can tell you who that kid is, not ringing a bell.

[@damianl2108]

Pretty sure a bootleg company used those beetleborg model kits. Remember buying a few from a dollar store, had all sorts of really cheap bootleg toys. They would fall apart constantly, almost like they were meant to be a model kit that was press fit together (terribly) and seeing this, just gave me flashbacks.

[@foxbat51]

Psycho Goreman is a brilliant film, with surprising depth. The little girl is actually the psycho. Its great.

[@GentlemansCombatives]

[@Boyoyoable]

You should try the newer real grades they 1/144 sized like hg keep in mind anything that came after the RG unicorn is very solid before then was mostly very experimental and finicky

Things were very different when I got my first gunpla kit about 24 years ago. I got mine from Woolworths when they came out to promote Gundam Wing on cartoon network. Then one day, randomly, I saw some Gundam Seed kits in poundstretchers! I got a HG strike freedom for £1.99!

[@slimehousetv]

[@tomhossain2099]

£1.99??????????

[@StillABigKid]

@tomhossain2099 this was about 15 years ago, and poundstretchers would sell any stuff dirt cheap. I missed a tone of 200X masters of the universe stuff back then.

[@Kruger69]

Love gundams, whenever i see my girl in texas i have to go to hobbylobby 40% off retail depending on the week ! Keep up the fire content g!

[@willisjackson7029]

It’s 40% off all models every other week at Hobby Lobby and the sale is going on this week until Saturday, November 16th. Then the sale will start again on Monday, November 25th- Saturday, November 30th. I just got a kit this week from The Witch From Mercury series that was normally $25.99 for $15.59+ taxes = $16.87 a savings of $10.40 in total before taxes.

[@AngzarrArts]

We had the Alien Dissection Kit when I was little and it was a blast! Sadly, we live in a wet climate and the rubber skin degraded over time and went sticky. My parents tossed it out when they did a clean out. 😭

@@ROBOLOGY.wildcamping sort it out lad

[@KalvaMaySajot]

If you wanna mix Gunpla and toy making you could design your own bits... There's also the 30 Minute Missions/Sisters/Fantasy lines that Bandai has put out too, which are a more generic line with universally fitting parts that's akin to old Bionicle. With some cleverness you could likely make your own figure using the joints from those models.

[@TheHobbyLodge]

Congrats on 20K mate (I can only dream) you do a cracking job always interesting to see what you are up to. Gunpla seems to be very hot at the moment I do plan to have a crack at one myself.

I’d say a cool idea for the next build for the evangelion would to do a collab build - bring someone that’s an expert builder into the studio and the two of yea put they bad boy together. I’m sure lots of wisdom and ideas would come through the process of the build.

[@eltenda]

Growing up, I lived close to an import toy store that had lots of G-Gundam kits. This was way back in the 90's and for a long time, the beautiful box art of those kits was my only window into Gundam. Meaning I believed all of Gundam was as extra as G-Gundam. I KNEW NOTHING.

[@acrodave9287]

In Britain in the 80s the only place you could get imported Japanese model kits was Beatties, now sadly gone. And I used to do the trick with filling in the recesses with a metal tipped ink pen and wiping the residue off so they'd stand out at the time! Sometimes the old ways are the best because why mess with a technique that works? 😂✌️

I remember my first Gundam: the Dragon 1/100 scale. I got it when I was maybe 12, given some snips and sent on my way by my dad. It was great, and really laid those modelling seeds early. Lasted for years, through multiple moves across the US, all the way until I had kids, and then absolutely shattered, pieces lost, etc. What remains is on my desk, like relics of a long dead saint.

Well they are hobby pieces. And Hobbycraft Has always sold model paint and air fix model kits so I suppose it makes a lot of sense 🙏

[@retrorandy77]

@slimehousetv yeah, like you said it's probably the most expensive place for hobby material. It's always seemed aimed at "trends" more than actual enthusiasts. I do enjoy a browse of their model kits though. In fact it's not unusual for me to lose an hour looking round all the craft supplies, I just never buy anything 😂 I spot cool stuff then find it cheaper online. I'm gonna grab a couple of these kits though, help encourage them to stock more stuff like this.
