Updates and Such by Chris 8:50 A.M. EST
Hurricanes are no fun, and neither is losing power for three days. But now that I'm back, it's time for some updates that were ready to go several days ago. First up, Sir Red XIV sent in some new lineart for Crossbone Gundam, along with some lineart for the GOUF Crusher. He and Thomas Wesinger also sent in some color lineart for the Akatsuki.

Next up is more model reviews, so let's get to them:

MSiA ZGMF-X31S Abyss Gundam

And finally, the 150th review for the Models section:
HGUC 1/144 RGM-79GS GM Command Space Type by me

With this, the model/figure backlog has been cleared out. Feel free to begin submitting reviews again. I'm particularly interested in getting some reviews up for older kits, so submit those if you can. Also, if you submitted a review to the old Newtype Asylum website, I'd be interested in that as well. Also, I'm looking to open a Macross model section, so submissions for that series will be accepted as well.

The first saga comes to a close… by Joel 5:29 P.M. EST
Hello folks, I’ve returned, and this time we say goodbye. NO NO NO! Not that kind of goodbye, heh. I have for you reviews for Tekkaman Blade episodes 41-43, and with that, for now, the first series has now been fully reviewed. Keep an eye from time to time though, as I do plan on re-reviewing the episodes when the time comes. For now, there are still specials to look out for, as well as the second series Space Knight: Tekkaman Blade II . See you later folks, and keep on trucking.
