Christmas ToyCon 2013 Day 3 (Dec 15)

It's the part 2 of our favorite toy convention that we always make sure to save up for. A Toy Auction is also being held here and the amount they receive will be donated to the Yolanda victims. It's great to know that there's still continuous help from generous people until this month, so hopefully everyone will enjoy this Christmas.

Gunpla Tutorial: What is Ver. Ka?

On this topic we'll be talking about the term Ver. Ka in the world of gunpla. What does it mean, where did it came from and how is it different from other models? It's a common word for gunpla fans but is unknown to others. So don't be shy if your not familiar with it. Ver. Ka is short for "Version Katoki". It is a notation used by Bandai to denote specialty models produced by Hajime Katoki.

Hajime Katoki is a popular Japanese mecha designer. A member of the studio Sunrise, he is highly recognized for his work on the Gundam series. The Ver. Ka tag first appeared as a sub-branch of the Master Grade line. Aside from having the Ver. Ka tagline below the MG logo, this models were featured on a characteristic white box.

Nowadays, the Ver. Ka brand has expanded to other premium products like the Metal Composite line. The main appeal of the collection is that it features units redesigned in the Katoki fashion of high details and use of angles.
