Nerd Builds: SD Delta Plus

Hello everyone-

Hope y'all have been having a stellar week! Today I wanted to feature a change of pace from all of the HG Gundam Build Fighters, especially since I have been pretty busy as of late and have only had time for smaller units...literally. So this is the SD Delta Plus from Gundam Unicorn. I don't know a whole lot about Gundam Unicorn since I haven't been able to watch any of the episodes, but if you will remember, I won this kit at the Gunpla competition last year and I finally built it.

I does everything you see in the box...cray

Comic Book of the Week 3/19/14

I know that Moon Knight actually came out last week, but since I didn't get to do a CBotW and I still haven't read all of my comics for this week (I'm counting on Daredevil #1 or Ms. Marvel #2 to take it for me this week), and since it's obviously very good, I knew I couldn't skip on featuring it for Comic Book of the Week.

Nerd Builds: HG GM Sniper K9

Time for another Nerd Builds~! Praise the Lord that I have a new build to share with everyone once a week. Also thanks to Tamo and my friends at Robot4Less in Fullerton, CA. Today's model is the Renato Brothers custom 1:144 high grade GM Sniper K9 from the Gundam Build Fighters series. With this series quickly coming to a close (I guess they're doing something unusual and finishing the series out at 25 episodes) there will be many new Build Fighters models coming out in the upcoming months. But the GM Sniper K9 was loads of fun because of it's sheer uniqueness. Let's get into it.

How much is that doggy in the window? The one with the gigantic sniper rifle for the head?

2014 Movie Previews Part 1

Some friends and I went to go watch "300: Rise of an Empire" the other night (review to come) and the previews were chock full of trailers for awesome movies coming out this year that every self respecting nerd will have to see! I was so psyched after the previews so I just had to post on the movies we have to look forward to for the rest of 2014! Um...this is not an exhaustive list.

Noah

More than being a nerdy movie, it's a me movie. As a Christian I am incredibly curious as to how this movie will turn out and how Biblically accurate it will be. At least casting will not be an issue with Sir Anthony Hopkins, Emma Watson, and A Beautiful Mind alums Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly starring in the film. In theaters March 28th.

Nerd Builds: HG Kampfer Amazing!

Today's Build post features Meijin Kawaguchi's (Yuki Tatsuya) Kampfer Amazing! (dunno why I always type the exclamation point after "amazing") from the Gundam Build Fighters series. If you remember, this is actually the second in the "Amazing" line, first one being the Zaku Amazing! Well without further much ado let's get into the build.

Anyone notice the foot in the corner?

This Week's Haul: Lent Edition

Hello everyone~! It's time for another haul post. If you do not know, last Wednesday was Ash Wednesday which would start the period of Lent for Catholics and some Protestants. Lent is basically the 40 days leading to Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. Our church started a fasting relay and yesterday was my day, and it was hard. One way I was able to get my mind off of food was this haul!

Pretty excited about the new Moon Knight comic and the SD 00 Raiser!

Comic Book of the Week 3/05/14

Finally, a Spider-Man comic~! Spider-Man has been one of my favorite superheroes since I was a little kid and I first saw Todd McFarlane's Spider-Man. Well this week we feature Superior Spider-Man #28. This is a horrible jumping on point for new readers (at least start from issue 27 for the current arc) because you'll want to know why everyone is referring to Spider-Man as Otto Octavius, and what happened to Peter Parker!!?? But this is still a great arc, and The Superior Spider-Man will be ending soon, so you should at least do some wikipedia-ing on what has been going on for the last year of Spider-Man.

Is this the end of the Superior Spider-Man? Let's hope so.

Nerd Builds: RX-178B Build Gundam Mk-II

Greetings fellow nerds~! It's time for another Nerd Builds! Today I am featuring the Sei and Reiji's 1/144 HG Build Gundam Mk-II from the Gundam Build Fighters series. This model was featured in episode 6 and 7 when the boys needed a stand in for the heavily damaged Build Strike to make it into the world championship. This model is based off of the very old HG Gundam Mk II, which means that they build quality and parts are also pretty dated. But here we go...

Robocop

Today I am once again showing up to the movie reviewing party "fashionably late" and reviewing Robocop. BTW did you know that in the original Robocop made in 1987, the future year that the movie was supposed to portray was 2014? So for the 25th anniversary of the original, Mrs. Nerd and I had a chance to watch one of her favorite action movies as a child and needless to say, this remake is not the same Robocop that you cult classic fans remember. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
