Bandai is going to open another Gundam cafe, which is to commence business on April 24. It is going to be located just outside the Akihabara JR station, so it will be very approachable for everyone getting off there. The cafe will accommodate 60 customers, having about 144 square meters. They will serve an exclusive Jaburo Coffee blend made from South American coffee beans. For the meals, there will be a Gun-pla-yaki on the list, a large size take-away dish designed after the very first 1/144 Gundam model kit.

Bandai will also use this place to promote and sell their new Gundam merchandise.

Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker Play Arts Kai

To celebrate the upcoming Peace Walker release, Square Enix's Play Arts team announced their new project - the Snake Sneaking Suit action figure. Like all of Play Art's collection every plate on the armor and every line on the character's face is sculpted to perfection.

We get a look at Activision and High Moon Studios' surprising new Transformers game.

Bandai is releasing another RX-78-2 Gundam, this time is a RG version… Real Grade 1/144. Saw this pic from another toy forum and it seems like Bandai latest gunpla series. This Real Grade is meant for expert / experienced Gunpla modeller, where there are very detailed parts and other gimmicks.

According to the pic, RG 1/144 RX-78-2 is meant to recreate the image of real mecha with detailed part separation and panel lines. Just like the anime scene, there will be Core Block System and Full Transformable Core Fighter in this 1/144 scale model O_O
