Premium Bandai just dropped a few kits that you are going to want to look into. I know my wallet is getting scared. If you enjoy these updates, make sure you like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends.
I love the shape of this kit, and it transforms! The MG ECLIPSE GUNDAM kit is a 1/100 scale model going for $52, which isn’t terrible for a Master Grade. It does have add-ons that I will go over down below. The kit is available for preorder till March 4th or until supplies run out. It is expected to ship in April 2024.
If you want to spruce up your Eclipse Gundam, Premium Bandai is releasing the two Striker kits to add to your collection. I’ll start with the Maneuver Striker kit because I think it is the cooler of the two. The Maneuver Striker is a 1/100 scale model you can pick up for $32. You can display it in its vehicle mode, or combine it with your Eclipse Gundam for some cool action poses! Preorders are open till March 4, or till supplies run out. Kits ship out in April.
The Raijin Striker is still cool, especially when you transform your Eclipse Gundam into the ship, but I still like the aesthetics of the Maneuver Stricker a bit better. It is still a fun add-on if you need it. The Raijin Striker is also a 1/100 scale model, and you can pick one up for $34. Preorders are open till March 4th, or until supplies run out. Kits are expected to ship in April.
Out of all the builds I’ve done so far, I think I’ve had the most fun building my Real Grade kit. While I love the casual building experience that High Grades offer, the details that Real Grades have are just so satisfying to see in person. Premium Bandai has a 1/144 scale OO XN RAISER RG kit and I am tempted. This kit looks so cool. I love the accessories, and I know it’s going to look amazing on the shelf. The kit costs $50, and preorders are open till February 2nd, or when supplies run out. Kits are expected to ship in March.
These little HG kits are always a blast to build. I love how unique it will look in my collection against the more traditional-looking Gundams. This kit has such a visually pleasing color scheme. The GM [MOROCCAN FRONT TYPE] is a 1/44 scale model you can pick up for only $22. Preorders are open til February 2nd, or until supplies run out. The kits ship in March 2024.

Ryusenji Laboratories becomes the world’s leader in Digital World research in a short time after its founding. Although the building has changed, its founders still work tirelessly to achieve their goals.
Saya walks into the office with her usual takeout order and a fresh change of clothes for Kosuke. Yueling gets up from her desk to help her set up for dinner. It had become a ritual between the founders. One that they each cherished in their own way.
“You have to stop coddling him,” Yueling says as she grabs her bowl and takes her seat. “He’s a grown man, and you’re not his mother.”
Saya smiles. “It’s fine, it’s on the way.”
Yueling swallows her mouthful. “I don’t know why you married this bozo, you’re way too good for him.”
Saya rolls her eyes, letting out a playful chuckle. She turns to Kosuke who looks like he’s waking from a trance. “Here’s your soup. Make sure you eat your salad too!” She kisses him before sitting down to her own dinner.
“Yeah yeah, thanks,” he replies. He has deep bags under his eyes. He seems lost in thought.
Ryusenji watches the guests around his table and laughs at the familiar banter. They spend the rest of the dinner talking about their research. They talk about the digital world and newly discovered lifeforms that inhabit it.
“Suppose the proffesor’s hypothesis is correct,” Soya begins, “Suppose these creatures are living AI, what then?”
“If they’re AI life forms, then we could keep them as pets,” Ryusenji chimes in. “Just like that this one,” he says pointing towards a monitor. The monitor is filled with a stream of flowing numbers.
“Its so cute!” Kosuke says, stopping to admire the flow of data.
“You two are the only ones who think so,” Yueling says in an attempt to bring the men back from their trance.
“But just imagine if you could see it all for yourself! Not just the numbers, but the world and the creatures that fill it. Wouldn’t that be amazing?” Saya says dreamily.
“Exactly!” Ryusenji exclaims, shooting a warm smile at his daughter. “We need to be able to see the Digital World if our research is going to scale in any meaningful way.”
“I know that,” Yueling replies, finishing the last of her pork bowl.
“And on that note,” Ryusenji says, clasping his hands together. The table turns their attention to the professor. “I’m starting a business.”
“A business? Like turning this into a company?” Yueling asks.
“I want to see the Digital World with my own eyes, and hear it with my own ears,” the professor continues.
“and the business?” Kosuke interrupts.
“Right. The university has money set aside for incubating businesses. We use that to make Ryusenji Laboratories a publicly traded company. We create some buzz, grab some investors, and we’re on our way to making it all happen.” The professor finishes his proposal with a hopeful smile on his face.
“I’m in,” Yueling says without a moment of hesitation.
“Good, kuz we need you to make the presentation,” the professor answers.
“Are you sure?” Yueling asks, still recovering from the shock of his sudden proposal. “What about my background?” She thinks about her status as a first-generation Japanese. It would be difficult to get public funding as a daughter of immigrants.
“How is any of that a problem?” The professor walks over to Yueling who continues to look more unsure by the second. He places his hand gingerly on her shoulder. “You’re the only one who can do this. I’m counting on you.”
A smile escapes Yueling’s mouth as she fights a sudden flood of happy tears. The doubt she feels fades, and a burst of newfound confidence replaces it. “I won’t let you down!”
“It’s settled then!” the professor exclaims. “Things are about to get busy around here!”
Thank you for your patience and continued support. I hope to catch up with the official release this week. Make sure you always support the original. If you enjoy this project, make sure you like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends!
Yueling zips through the digital world on the back of her dragon Digimon Hisyaryumon. She is dressed in her formal DigiPolice uniform, clearly pressed and finely decorated. Hisyaryumon’s obsidian scales shine as brightly as the ember-colored gem on its forehead.
Hisyaryumon suddenly changes direction, diving towards a group of code crackers. Each controlled a cyborg-type Digimon. They scramble as they see the dragon, but Hisyaryumon is too quick. Hisyaryumon knocks them out with very little effort.
“Code Crackers Contained,” Yueling announces through her radio.
“You’re sharp as ever captain,” Satsuki replies.
“Spare me the flattery and call in processing.”
“On it!”
Satsuki’s Numemon waddles onto the scene. It kicks one of the unconscious Digimon as it begins to secure the criminals.
“What’d we catch, Hisyaryumon?”
“The usual. A bunch of Cyborg-types used for data collection.”
“So it seems,” Yueling replies as she scans Hisyaryumon’s report.
“Looks like they were after state secrets. Judging by their tools, I would guess they were hired by someone overseas. It appears that a few are still in operation. We could send them back with a little souvenir,” Hisyaryumon continues maliciously.
“If your hunch is right, this is above our pay grade.” Yueling continues to read the report. “Why not? I’m feeling playful today. Send them something nasty.”
“As you wish,” Hisyaryumon says cheerily as he gets to work on the restrained Digimon.
Yueling watches from inside the Digicore. Easy days like this made her think of the old days. With nothing to distract her, she gets lost in a memory.
I wonder what Kosuke is up to?
Yueling walks into Ryusenji Laboratories. The air conditioner hums, blowing cool air into the room. The desks are cluttered with papers and books. Large server racks are pushed against one of the walls. The professor sits at his computer, absorbed in the letters moving across his monitor
“Good Morning Professor,” she says cheerily. The clock on the wall reads 6 p.m.
“Good morning,” he says without looking up.
“Got some mail for you,” she says, setting the pile of letters on his desk.
“Mhm,” Ryusenji grunts.
“I delivered your mail! Can you acknowledge me with your words and eyes please? I don’t want you calling me later asking for your mail!”
“There!” Ryuseji announces suddenly, pointing at the screen. “There’s the bug. Who wrote this aweful code?!”
“You probably.”
“No…It couldn’t have…Could it?” The professor becomes distressed by his question looking over the code again.
“Has my proposal for a proper server room been approved? It’s freezing in here.” Yueling puts on a jacket she keeps hanging over a chair.
“Theyre going to move the entire campus over the next few years. They aren’t approving any new projects until everything is settled.”
Yueling shrugs. “I’m just trying to help.”
“I keep telling them how important our work is. I hear investing in our field is quietly exploding around the world. Our advantage could disappear overnight,” Ryusenji grumbles without lifting his eyes.
“Maybe we should pack up and go overseas then.”
“You can’t seriously be suggesting that,” answers a gravelly voice. Kosuke pops his head from his makeshift cot from between the server racks. He wipes the sleep from his eyes as he makes his way over.
“Slept in the office again?” Yueling asks.
Kosuke nods as he runs his hands through his unkempt hair and lets out a big yawn. The scruff on his beard had grown thick, and it was clear he’d been wearing the same clothes for several days.
“At least wash your face and brush your teeth. Did you at least bring a change of clothes?
“About that…”
The door busts open. A petit woman barges through carrying several takeout bags.
“Feeding time!” She begins organizing the spread on the large table they use for meetings.
“Good! I’m starving.” Kosuke answers.
“Here’s your change of clothes,” the woman says, tossing Kosuke a paper bag.
“Saya…Did you go all the way to Kosuke’s house to get him a change of clothes?”
“Yep! I also brought you a pork bowl. I hope you’re hungry,” Saya beams as she hands Yueling her bowl.
Yueling reaches into her pocket “Thanks. Here, how much do I owe..”
“None of that. It’s dad’s…I mean the professor’s treat.”
The four sit and eat their lunch. The room fills with chatter and laughter over the hum of the air conditioning.

The Digital World is vast and full of mystery. Its biggest mystery lies hidden behind its impenetrable firewall. Early Code Crackers swarmed to the Digital World in search of answers to this mystery. Many put their lives on the line in the name of discovery. Somewhere along the wall was the gateway to the other side, and one brave code cracker was destined to find it. After years of exploration, it is widely believed that the Vortices that appeared indiscriminately along the wall were gateways to the other side.
While most Vortives appear randomly over the wall, one takes its permanent residence at the center of the wall slums. Tartarus and his small team find themselves at the edge of this vortex, with the intention of seeing what’s on the other side.
The expedition starts smoothly. The code crackers and their Digimon work in perfect unison as they make their careful descent toward the void. Suddenly, a swarm of Digimon appear above them.
Megadramon rears back and raises his arms, taking careful aim at the oncoming swarm.
ERADICATION ATTACK!
The cannons at the ends of his arm open up with a swarm of missiles, each exploding its target. The attack leaves a hole in the swarm, but the hole quickly fills with more Digimon.
“There’s too many of them, I can’t hold ’em off for long!” Marvin says from within Megadramon.
The guardian Digimon attack like a swarm of Locust. Megadramon continues to fire, holding back the swarm for the time being.
Dorumon stops his trek and floats in place as he watches the swarm. The small-wing fox waves his tail eagerly.
“Time to get to work Dorumon” Tarturus says from within its core. “Initiate phase 3!”
“Right!” Dorumon shines brightly as it Digivolves into a large strange dragon. Large silver leathery wings beat in the air, holding it up.
Metal Meteor
A massive metal orb begins to form over DoruGreymon’s head, drawing the swarm’s attention. The crystal on DorGreymon’s forehead begins to glow. Strange runes of light appear on the face of the orb. It slowly starts to drop into the vortex. The swarm of Digimon moves to push away the projectile, but the orb continues its descent unmolested.
“Let them try,” Tartarus smirks as he watches the swarm’s vain attempt to stop their attack.
The orb continues to drop, crushing the piles of Digimon until it finally makes contact with the gateway. The orb looks like a tiny pebble against the vast mouth of the vortex. The impact lets out a high-pitched screech.
“Begin decoding! This can still work,” Tartarus commands.
Inside the Digicore, Tartarus starts typing away furiously at his console. A small meter begins to fill across his screen. 20%…25%….
Cracks begin to form on the gateway letting light slip in from the other side. It groans under the growing strain.
“The gateway is breaking!” Tartarus says to himself.
The remaining guardians swarm DoruGreymon in a desperate attempt to stop the attack.
Seeing this, Marvin shouts, “We have to buy them more time, Let’s go!” The group launches a final desperate defense.
The grinding sound goes silent as the orb stops moving. The decoding progress bar stops at 30%.
“What’s happening?” Tartarus barks.
“Process terminated. This is as far as we can get with a single prototype Digimon,” DoruGreymon says cooly.
Tartarus slams his fists on the console. “Dammit. Just like we predicted.” He lets out a heavy sigh.
“The gate requires a tripartite key. We need all three attributes in order to crack it. We need Virus and Vaccine prototype Digimon for this to work.”
“Yueling’s Ryudamon is a Vaccine type, all we need is a virus type…” Tartarus gets lost in thought, staring at the gateway. “Whatever lies beyond the gateway is going to change the world. I don’t know how, but we’re going to change it!”
The metal orb begins to crack, letting the sounds of grinding and bending metal. The symbols on its face fade as the ball breaks into pieces and fades to dust.
“They’re here! The Royal Knights!” DoruGreymon shouts.
“Everyone fall back!” Tartarus shouts. Tartarus and his team flee without hesitation.
“The Royal Knights….” Tartarus mutters to himself as he takes one final glimpse at the gate behind him.
Premium Bandai just put up the Pulsemon & Gammamon Dim set for preorder. The set is $40, which is the average price for Dims. Preorders are open til November 6th, or until supplies run out. The set is expected to ship in April.
This is a fantastic release for fans of the ongoing Digimon Seekers web Novel and the Ghost Game anime. The Pulsemon will have updated art and graphics from the Pulse City Dim, and the Gammamon Dim is nice if you don’t already have it.
I love my Vital Bracelet, but definitely need more Digimon to add to my collection. This is a cool bundle because I love Ghost Game, and I would say that I am invested in the Digimon Seekers web novel. I’ve been working on fixing the translation to make it read better, so go check it out when you get a chance!
You will need a Vital Bracelet Be to use these Dims. You can pick up just the bracelet in Black or White on Amazon. If you need Dims to get you started, Amazon also carries the special edition bundle which includes two dims: Rampage of the Beast and Dragonic Blaze.

The street lights come on as an ambulance zips through the campus streets. Its sirens echo as the. Flashing red lights bounce off large windows. The few cars out move over as the ambulance flies past. Leon lays unresponsive on the metal gurney. The sensors hooked to his arm indicate a steady heartbeat. His vitals are low but within normal levels. He lays unresponsive as the EMT flashes lights in his eyes. Around him, wires and tubes clank on hollow metal as the ambulance jerks through the city streets. The sirens sound muffled over the hum of the engine and the crackling of the radio.
Professor Ryusenji arrives at the hospital shortly after Leon does. He sits in the waiting room while the doctors run their tests. A couple of hours pass when a doctor finally calls him.
“It’s an odd one. Vitals are normal, there are no signs of trauma or drug use. This isn’t a reaction to any of his medication. We can’t determine the cause of his coma at this time, but we’re running more tests.”
“That’s unfortunate…” Ryusenji says sadly.
“I am sorry.” The doctor says warmly. “You can go see him now if you want. Talk to him. He’ll appreciate that.”
Ryusenji shakes the doctor’s hand and walks into Leon’s room. Leon lays peacefully in bed. Sensors monitor his vitals, and a drip slowly keeps him hydrated. The professor watches over his student for a moment before taking the seat closest to his bed.
He was still in his office when received Eiji’s frantic phone call. Eiji’s erratic explanation left him with many unanswered questions, but there wasn’t time for answers. It was Ryusenji who called the ambulance and let the paramedics into Leon’s apartments. It was Ryusenji who now sat as Leon’s only visitor.
The room was quiet except for the rhythmic chiming of the EKG. The chart at the end of Leon’s bed indicated an unknown cause for Leon’s coma, but Ryusenji knew better. Leon had pushed himself too far in his mindlink. He went over the L line, and now he is DMIA. Nothing was bringing Leon back to consciousness. His mind was lost. Scattered across the Digital world like pieces of junk data.
“Did you ever meet Yueling, Leon?” the professor finally makes out. His voice shakes a bit. He leans back in the chair, watching Leon’s peaceful expression. He would have to tell the police everything, and Leon being American complicated things.
Rysuenji sighs, “This is quite a mess…”He picks up the Digimon Linker that sits on the bedside table and puts it back on Leon’s wrist. “I’m afraid you knew too many lies,” he says softly to Leon.
Ryusenji watches the mounds of Leon’s vitals move across the monitor, and listens to the beeps in silence.
Eiji sits alone in his dark tiny apartment curled up in his bed. He stares blankly into space as a mix of dread and shame creeps into his consciousness.
“He’s not coming back…” Eiji says flatly. He can still see Kazuchimon disappearing into the vortex. No one has ever returned from the void. No one has recovered from DMIA. Eiji left Leon to die.
“It’s all my fault..” Tears well up in his eyes. An ugly truth gets stuck in his throat. “I…I killed Leon…” The truth hits him like a punch in the gut. The room starts to spin. He stumbles off his bed and rushes to the bathroom. His empty stomach aches as he vomits only bile and stomach acid into a dirty toilet. He sits against the wall with a bitter taste in his mouth.
“Your readings are a mess Eiji,” Loogamon chimes in from his perch on the bed. Loogamon’s wounds have healed. It was as if the fight had never happened.
“I can’t do this anymore,” Eiji says weakly. He takes the Digimon Linker off his wrist and looks over it pensively.
“Hey careful with that!” Loogamon barks.
“Code crackers, hackers, mindlinks…digivolutions…none of this matters.” Eiji pauses to stare at the ceiling. “It’s all my fault…I pushed you too hard. I put you in danger, and now Leon is gone!” Eiji lets the Digimon Linker fall into the floor. “This isn’t what I wanted…” his voice trails off.
The linker beeps as its face comes to life with a notification. It’s a text from Tartarus. It reads:
Excellent work. You’re a hero!”
Eiji scoffs. He doesn’t feel like a hero. Guilt begins to choke at Eiji. “It should have been me….” The room starts to spin again. Eiji lurches over to vomit.
“Are you sick or something? What’s causing you to vomit?” Loogamon jumps down from the bed and makes its way to the doorway.
Eiji wipes vomit from the corners of his mouth. “Guilt,” he answers flatly, sitting back against the wall.
“Why?”
“He was my friend Logamon…My best friend and now…Now he’s gone and it’s all my fault.” Tears start falling down his cheeks.
The two sit in silence for a while. Eiji’s quiet sobs echo off the tile.
“Hey Eiji,” Loogamon finally says. “I just remembered something.”
“What?” Eiji asks hoarsely.
“That box Pulsemon gave me, the one we thought was a virus. It was just a present.”
“Really?” Eiji looks up at the wolf.
Loogamon’s expression saddens for a moment. It nods slowly. “He left a note. It said ‘Lets hang out again sometime mutt.’ Stupid fairy…”
Another somber silence washes over them.
“I think I know why I went beserk when I digivoled into Hallogarmon.”
“Why’s that?”
“I wanted to fight Pulsemon so badly. I wanted to be better than them. I didn’t want them to look down on me anymore. So when I digivolved and went feral, it was because you didn’t feel the same way.”
Eiji sits in silence and stares at the wolf. Leon’s voice rings in his head. The memory of his guilt sends his head into the toilet. Eiji sits back. This time he can’t hold his tears back. He cries hard into his arm.
“Do you want to save your friend Eiji?”
“Of course I do! It’s my fault!” Eiji yells, looking up.
“I want to save Pulsemon too,” Loogamon says solemnly. “We’ll save them Eiji. Even if it means facing down an army Royal Knights!”
I know I am a little behind on releases. Work has been hectic, and I haven’t had much time to work on these. Thank you for your patience and continued support. I’ll do my best to catch up! I think I’ll start posting updates on Mastodon if that’s an easier way to stay updated, but let me know if there are better options.

Onminomon floats over the two Digimon. Its armor glows from the energy gathering at the tip of the cannon. Omnimon aims it at Helloogarmon, who continues to wriggle in pain. The metallic wolf at the end of the cannon glistens preciously as arcs of energy spill out of its mouth. Omnimon releases the beam. It comes crashing down, engulfing Helloogarmon in a blinding white spotlight of frozen energy before vanishing in the same instant.
Hellogarmon lays motionless, its body and flames left frozen by the blast. Inside the Digicore, Eiji writhes in agony. He vaguely remembers the ice beam washing over them as he slowly loses consciousness. His body burns with unbearable pain. He feels his life slowly fading as he desperately tries to hold onto consciousness.
Eiji’s vision blurs and darkens, but he can still make out the outline of the holy knight as it moves towards them. He struggles to concentrate, but he can make out the menacing blade thirsting for their lives. In his struggle with consciousness, Eiji can make out his own name written in the strange runes that decorate the face of the blade.
“Delete all!” Omnimon’s words fall onto Eiji with a soothing calm. As Omnimon readies for his final blow, Eiji becomes at peace with death. Eiji welcomes the darkness.
CRACK
Omnimon stumbles from a blow to its back.
“Loogamon!” an unseen voice shouts.
Pulsemon?…the familiar voice pulls Eiji back from the darkness. His vision clears as he watches Kazuchimon crash into Omnimon, sending both Digimon flying.
The force of the vortex picks up the flying Digimon and pulls it towards its center. Omnimon struggles to pry Kazuchimon off, but Kazuchimon holds on tightly. Omnimon brings down heavy blows that leave Kazuchimon bruised and bloodied, but Kazuchimon remains unfazed. The vortex continues to pull them closer and closer to its pit.
“Eiji” Leon’s voice crackles from the distance. His voice is barely audible.
“Let go Leon…You have to let go. The vortex is sucking you up!” Eiji shouts back helplessly.
“This…Knight…the last…” Leon’s message comes in gargled with static.
Eiji tries to move but finds himself frozen in the darkness. His body still aches from the bast. His eyes swell with tears, “LEON!!” Eiji watches as his friend is pulled farther and farther away.
“I’m sorry Eiji. I don’t know if you can still hear me. This whole thing is fucked. I tried to save you…I just didn’t know what else to…” his message cuts off. Eiji sits in the silent darkness of the Digicore.
With one sharp elbow, Omnimon frees itself from Kazhuchimon’s grip and turns its attention to Eiji.
Shido Ittetsu!
Before Omnimon can make its escape, an electromagnetic barrier forms around the two Digimon.
“You aren’t getting away!” Leon shouts. Around him, alarms blare loudly as Leon uses the last of his mindlink energy to seal Omnimon. Kazuchimon grapples Omnimon. Omnimon struggles as its limbs become locked in the hold. It turns its head to glare at Kazuchimon. Leon stares back at the angry eyes. “For as long as I’ve got left, you’re not going anywhere.”
Eiji continues to watch as Kazuchimon and Omnimon inch closer to the core.
“They’re nearly through…” Eiji says to himself.
Suddenly, the Digicore around him springs to life. Monitors start to fill with data and status updates. Eiji’s commands begin to register. He fights through the pain and begins typing furiously.
Helloogarmon rises slowly. It shakes off the last bits of frost. Its few lingering flames go out, leaving a charged werewolf skeleton. Hellogarmon splashes through black dirty puddles as it stumbles to its feet. It begins to glow and shrink as it turns back into Loogamon. It takes another step before falling back to the ground.
“Loogamon!” Eiji shouts excitedly, as he appears suddenly next to his fallen friend. He kneels beside Loogamon, “Hang in there buddy.”
“…Eiji…What’s…going on?” Loogamon makes out weakly.
“I’ll tell you later.” Eiji lets out a sigh of relief, forgetting for a moment about the danger around him. But reality hits him suddenly. Eiji looks toward his disappearing friend and shouts, “Leon! Get out of there! You win Leon, I’ll quit! Just get out of there!” The whirl of the vortex drowns out his words.
Eiji watches as Kazuchimon and Omnimon disappear into the Vortex. A moment later, it disappears. The sky fills with an eerie peacefulness. Around him, the world goes silent. Eiji begins tending Loogamon’s wounds. Tears fall down his cheek as the realization hits him. There was nothing more he could do.
