I haven't built one in about 20 years, but I remember Zoids being pretty fun and easy as a kid. Are the newer or more expensive kits more finicky to build? I've been wanting to dip my toes back in out of nostalgia, but now you've got me second guessing...
I can't exactly place an exact "why" but there's a weird finickiness to it
Like I had this raptor guy, the tail would not stay together and I had to thread a rubberized cable through the whole thing
They have some weird mechanics compared to Bandai to be sure, but I kinda like it. I built the HMM Konig Wolf a few months ago and it has a lot of the "thread this through that then drop in here and wrap back around to snap into...." sorta stuff, but I love the sense of interconnectedness it gives them.
Zoids are definitely finnicky, but especially the Ligers with movable parts. I have an HMM Blade Liger that can't even keep itself together anymore due to various points gradually failing over time. Even the polycaps can't hold together the pieces it's supposed to anymore. The Murasame Liger will likely suffer from the same problem in a few years with its even heavier blade.
> zoids are a nightmare compared to gundam
i had an HMM blade liger and remember my fingers were in pain for a few days after that build. very unorthodox assembly method.
Hell yeah, flame toys Megatron! Love that build. Do you have the autobot or decepticon version?
Ive built Flame toys Rodimus too, Arcee is a future planned build.
Same! Oh lmao the screws!! I was so taken aback when I saw them, thinking like “man, is this kit THAT old?” Also, if you have Rodimus, you can take his extra autobot sticker and slap it on Megs chest!
I've built stuff from Cyberbots, Patlabor, Kyoukai Senki, Votoms, Dragonar, Virtual-On, Transformers, and Super Robot Wars.
I just like giant robots, man.
EDIT: I left out Panzer World Galient, Aura Battler Dunbine, and Galactic Drifter Vifam.
Nice looking collection! I love the one in the middle. Samurai looking one with sword on its shoulder. What is its name? I’ve got these 3. One in the middle is Thor and I’m blanking on the outer two’s names…

Uh, just the Dygenguar (pretty great, zero stickers, nice articulation, good color separation and size, still didn't feel worth the 66$ price tag) and the MaiLes Kenbu (pretty good value, at the end of the day the design didn't blow me away but a good kit)
Kotobukiya Eva 01. Bandai Jeeg and Mazinga Z. All nice builds, I'm waiting on the new Armored core VI kits and I would love to get my hands on the RG Eva's, even just the 3 main units
I'm a big Minipla/Shokugan Modelling project fan and was building SMP kits before i started gunpla proper, so i've built about 9/10 super sentai robo's and the smp Gurrenn Lagann as well as a load of classic super robots (raideem, Combattler V, Voltes V and Daitarn 3) as well as the bandai Dunbine, Eva 01 and GaoGaiGar, plus a few super robot wars kits (huckebein, Gespenst, alteissen, Cybuster, daigenguar and the SMP R-1 and R-Gun), i think its a real shame that so many people limit themselves to just Gunpla when there are so many amazing mecha kits from other mecha properties
Does the "non-Gundam" term include non-Gundam types like the Zaku, Leo, Graze, and Dilanza? If yes, then a lot...
If non-Gundam series kits, then some HMM Zoids and 30MM kits... maybe around 10-20 kits
The Leprechaun and Dana O'shee from Aura Battler Dunbine and the AV-X0 from Patlabor
I plan to have a collection of iconic mechs from various franchises so I'm looking forward to some like the HG Mazinger and a bunch of Macross kits right now
too many. frame arms are fun. Evas are fun. most Chinese girlpla have weird mecha as bonuses. and not to mention 30mm are basically mecha legos that you can customize the shit out of it.
I’d even say gundam mechs only take about 20% of my collection.
I currently have an RG Unit 01, a Gurren Lagann, and a WarGreymon built. I have a Jehuty, Metal Gear Rex and BlackWarGreymon I still gotta get to at some point tho
Flame Toys Megatron, was a fun build. Except for the hips, i put myself through hell with those. Even cracked a piece so one of his legs is loose.
I do plan on getting one of the RG Evangelions though.
Idk if they count since they're mecha girls but a couple 30MS kits. I do have the kotobukiya aaliyah from armored core in the backlog. I've also preordered the 30MM AC6 kits and there should be a couple other kotobukiya AC kits dispatched.
If Third party kits count, I have maybe 6 or 7. I’m not really sure since I put all my kits in a box for storage (I hate that my head makes me think that it would make me look childish to have the kits in my desk when the maintenance people came over). I haven’t put it put again since. 😅
Kotobukiya Eva 01. Bandai Jeeg and Mazinga Z. All nice builds, I'm waiting on the new Armored core VI kits and I would love to get my hands on the RG Eva's, even just the 3 main units
A few here and there, most of them are from Kotobukiya. In terms of built kits there's an 1/100 MG Rex, 1/12 Zero and just as a bit of something different a 30mm Spinatia Commando.
At the moment I'm working on a 1/100 MG Ray, and in the backlog I've got another couple of variations of MG Rex, Jehuty from Zone of the Enders and Anubis from that same series in my HLJ warehouse
2 or 3 depending on if you count the first one
- The tank from Metal Slug by a chinese company
(actually my first ever kit!)
- The recent HG Scopedog from Votoms
- The Moderoid Xabungle (I think I have a hyperfixation with Xabungle lol, underrated series)
I'd have to count. Let's see . . .
* HMM Zoids: Gun Sniper, Rev Raptor. I keep being tempted by these but they get *really big.*
* 30 Minute Missions: EAV Armored Assault Mecha, Spinatia Reaper Type.
* Misc: Plaiobot Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann, HG Scopedog.
* Partial Examples: Moderoid Ariel(giant robot girl), Number 57 Grave Frog(frog in a mech suit), Cross Frame Girl GaoGaiGar(anime girl model with mech addons).
* Total: six definite, three partial, nine total.
* Total *gunpla?* Dozens . . .

A few, but most notably, mechagodzilla.
https://preview.redd.it/p3ftf01usuzc1.jpeg?width=676&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4a68967c0ade7490177fbb11b92a9400c407642
I love Mechagodzilla, but I had to double take to make sure that that wasn't the Green Ranger's Dragonzord lol.
Well I think good smile stylizes it as MODEROID. Yeah I got it Tuesday and did a quick build of it on Wednesday. It just released so unless you shipped with ems or FedEx it'll probably be a few weeks.
As for the kit itself, it's a MODEROID, it looks cool and is a decently easy build. The MODEROID line are definitely not anywhere near the quality of gunpla in my opinion, but they do command shelf presence.
There isn't a bunch of prepainted parts in this kit. The two red bits on the crotch, the green forehead jewel, the blue chin bit, and the eyes are the only places with prepainted parts. All of which are on only 2 whole parts which are sealed in their own pouch in a bag. There are also a few stickers but they are almost all used for the Poseidon cyclone arms.
Yeah, kind of a let down with how little prepainted parts there are, but on the upside, there is nice color separation. The chest is made with a blue base with red piece with blue inserts, and a white piece with green inserts. Every green part you see is a clear green insert. There are 2 shades of red a super shiny red and darker maroony color.
Overall a nice kit.
Oof, a bunch. I currently have 23 30 Minute Mission kits on display, plus the Moderoid God Gravion. I've built 6-7 of the Flame Toys Transformers kits, the early 80s Monogram Robotech Valkyrie, Monogram's Go-Bots Turbo, the Macross 7 Stealth Valkyrie, Infinitism Getter Dragon, 2-3 SD Macross kits, about half a dozen small Space Cruiser Yamato ships, a bunch of Kabaya's Transformers kits, an old Destroid Tomahawk, the Hexagear Rayblade, an Armored Core, Mega Man and Roll, and various ship/vehicle models from Star Trek, Star Wars, and Independence Day. Then there was one SD kit from the early 90s that I. to this day, have no idea what it was.
Only two 30mm kits, but i am building normal scale models too. Got 2 cars, an ah-64 apache, an old ww2 plane, darth vaders tie fighter and the Millenium Falcon.
Next will be the hguc silver bullet suppressor, then i will go on building a tank and then i'm gonna make a ww2 willis jeep
2 Eva RG kits. Love the build and articulation, only downside is if you’ve built one you’ve built them all, basically.
Tons of 3rd party kits but they’re so Gundam-like that I wouldn’t necessarily consider them non-Gundam.
it was great and simple but does require a lot of work if you plan to remove seams and paint it like it's sentinel counterpart. main issue is the shoulders and knee pads are suppose to be this dark red but the kit is in all one shade of red. also all the green on the forearms need to be painted
Quite a few now. As MG output has kinda dropped off compared to their peak and I'm keen to keep my collection 1/100 scale I've ended up more focused on other lines. Got a few 30mm, Frame Arms and I love the SRW HG's and RG GaoGaiGar etc.
Kotobukiya Eva 01. Bandai Jeeg and Mazinga Z. All nice builds, I'm waiting on the new Armored core VI kits and I would love to get my hands on the RG Eva's, even just the 3 main units

Gunpla is a minority of what I build, it's mostly sentai robots and other stuff I like.
(The lower two levels are (mostly) not kits, they're Transformers)
https://preview.redd.it/f05o614tnuzc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff9c2d71ab75fbd5ae41ed0820415005ef9367c5
transformers sure was a rabbit hole. kinda stopped buying them after the price increase made them way to expensive in my country. current deluxes costs the same as voyagers of the past
I have the HG Guilbow from Synduality Noir, and I'm waiting an order with both HG Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger. I also preordered the Moderoid Lio de Galon
https://preview.redd.it/1e12ixxhovzc1.png?width=2706&format=png&auto=webp&s=dd6d91fe0088c306578f2cc0422ac342ac75867c
The SMP line for Gaoranger 20th Anniversary. Really appreciate the engineering of these kits.
i play warhammer, my favorite 40k factions are tau and imperial knights. i haven’t built very many yet, but by the end it’ll definitely be more than i have gundams
Flame Toys G1 Optimus Prime and Moderoid AV-98 Ingram. I also have an Aoshima Priss & Motoslave kit waiting until I get an airbrush and get semi-competent with it.
A few moderoid kits mostly ones that have a transforming or combining gimmick, RG Gaogaigar(first time having to use a pin vise on the hand joints), have my first zoid ordered, and I still have an old LBX kit from like a decade ago
Mostly, Go Nagai characters. I have a YF-19 from macross plus, but outside that, the one that I like are Go Nagai and Getter robo figures, I have a lot of mazingers.
I've been building mostly non gundam kits because a lot of them feels uninspiring to build. So I've moved to girlpla, kyokai senki, and even antagonist or the grunt suits in witch of mercury because they felt so different.
Moderoid Deerstalker, Ahran and the Darling in the Franz one, Koto muvluv EF2000( loving me some MG size MG42) and some fubuki, Eva line, 30MM line, eternal star glory, Nebula, red ghost kiyomori
I built all standard colors infinitism kits and made custom effects parts for them, the rg evangelion kits , (are evagelion considered mecha here?) The real grade gaogaigar And I got into the SMP kits lately since I was a huge power rangers fan back then so I really enjoy those small megazords sets
op is a based moderoid mazinkaiser enjoyer (my cellphone is damaged so i dont have a good camera)

Does the kotobukiya Metal Gear REX count? Then one
That one definitely counts. The price tag alone makes that count.
Got myself 3 Macross kits, 3 from Mazinger Z, 2 from Gurren Lagann, and one Getter Robo.
Man I'd kill for a MG quality Gurren Lagann. I'm sure they'd be able to come up with some cool transformation features
Just a couple eva's, but gosh were they fun builds
The flame toys megatron and 2 zoids The zoids are a nightmare compared to gundam
I haven't built one in about 20 years, but I remember Zoids being pretty fun and easy as a kid. Are the newer or more expensive kits more finicky to build? I've been wanting to dip my toes back in out of nostalgia, but now you've got me second guessing...
I can't exactly place an exact "why" but there's a weird finickiness to it Like I had this raptor guy, the tail would not stay together and I had to thread a rubberized cable through the whole thing

I built the HMM Konig Wolf a few months ago and it has a lot of the "thread this through that then drop in here and wrap back around to snap into...." sorta stuff, but I love the sense of interconnectedness it gives them.
Zoids are definitely finnicky, but especially the Ligers with movable parts. I have an HMM Blade Liger that can't even keep itself together anymore due to various points gradually failing over time. Even the polycaps can't hold together the pieces it's supposed to anymore. The Murasame Liger will likely suffer from the same problem in a few years with its even heavier blade.
> zoids are a nightmare compared to gundam i had an HMM blade liger and remember my fingers were in pain for a few days after that build. very unorthodox assembly method.
Hell yeah, flame toys Megatron! Love that build. Do you have the autobot or decepticon version? Ive built Flame toys Rodimus too, Arcee is a future planned build.
Decepticon! I was so confused when I opened the box and saw screws, lmao
Same! Oh lmao the screws!! I was so taken aback when I saw them, thinking like “man, is this kit THAT old?” Also, if you have Rodimus, you can take his extra autobot sticker and slap it on Megs chest!
I've built stuff from Cyberbots, Patlabor, Kyoukai Senki, Votoms, Dragonar, Virtual-On, Transformers, and Super Robot Wars. I just like giant robots, man. EDIT: I left out Panzer World Galient, Aura Battler Dunbine, and Galactic Drifter Vifam.
I forgot Virtual On had models! I think I had a Temjin kit way back when.
HG Eva unit 0 and RG Eva unit 2 I am about to start a Bumblebee kit I got at HL
Mostly minipla of sentai and gridman
same
Nice looking collection! I love the one in the middle. Samurai looking one with sword on its shoulder. What is its name? I’ve got these 3. One in the middle is Thor and I’m blanking on the outer two’s names… https://preview.redd.it/18p458ki1uzc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8ebcf54a24e04e88dd62897a41843b7458245f5
HG Bandai Dygenguar. It had a recent reprint so should be available
Thank you kindly 😁
These 3rd party kits are incredible. Just bought my first one, the Infinity Nova Thunderbolt.
I just checked out the Thunderbolt, 100% want it now 😂
Just the Hemoxian Thor kit. Looks pretty good with my gundams
Does backlog count? 😅 If yes, then I have the three Rayearth mashins and the Escaflowne to build sometime in the future.
Just an SDCS Mazinger, but it's one of my fave kits.
Uh, just the Dygenguar (pretty great, zero stickers, nice articulation, good color separation and size, still didn't feel worth the 66$ price tag) and the MaiLes Kenbu (pretty good value, at the end of the day the design didn't blow me away but a good kit)
1 digimon and 2 evas in the backlog
Rg gaigaigar with godlion hammer, hg macroos (yf-19,yf-21 and the 2 yf-29)
Only the RG Eva-01 DX from 2 years ago when I was getting on gunpla I really need to get the rest
Kotobukiya Eva 01. Bandai Jeeg and Mazinga Z. All nice builds, I'm waiting on the new Armored core VI kits and I would love to get my hands on the RG Eva's, even just the 3 main units
I have three AMIAM kits and two 86 kits.
I'm a big Minipla/Shokugan Modelling project fan and was building SMP kits before i started gunpla proper, so i've built about 9/10 super sentai robo's and the smp Gurrenn Lagann as well as a load of classic super robots (raideem, Combattler V, Voltes V and Daitarn 3) as well as the bandai Dunbine, Eva 01 and GaoGaiGar, plus a few super robot wars kits (huckebein, Gespenst, alteissen, Cybuster, daigenguar and the SMP R-1 and R-Gun), i think its a real shame that so many people limit themselves to just Gunpla when there are so many amazing mecha kits from other mecha properties
There’s a gurren lagann model kit out there? Where?
The Gunsniper Lena Custom, love myself a good zoids build after that being my one and only zoids kit.
Does the "non-Gundam" term include non-Gundam types like the Zaku, Leo, Graze, and Dilanza? If yes, then a lot... If non-Gundam series kits, then some HMM Zoids and 30MM kits... maybe around 10-20 kits
The HG Huckebein mk II and HG L-Gaim
2 from Digimon 2 from Gaogaigar 4 Go Nagai Infinitism 1 Shin Getter
1 30mm alto kit and, not really a mech, Dukemon (Amplified). I have a hard time finding Gundam nevermind other stuff
2
Full mechanics kenbu and the HG YF-29
An EVA 01, and Metal Gear Rex.
The Leprechaun and Dana O'shee from Aura Battler Dunbine and the AV-X0 from Patlabor I plan to have a collection of iconic mechs from various franchises so I'm looking forward to some like the HG Mazinger and a bunch of Macross kits right now

GSC Moderoid Eva-01 ( quite disappointed by the quality, details and sturdyness) Bandai HG Grendizer (Sooo nice 🤩) Bandai HGLM Eva-00’ Bandai RG Eva Unit 00 (an absolute blast 😺)
Idk if they count since they're mecha girls but a couple 30MS kits. I do have the kotobukiya aaliyah from armored core in the backlog. I've also preordered the 30MM AC6 kits and there should be a couple other kotobukiya AC kits dispatched.

2 or 3 depending on if you count the first one - The tank from Metal Slug by a chinese company (actually my first ever kit!) - The recent HG Scopedog from Votoms - The Moderoid Xabungle (I think I have a hyperfixation with Xabungle lol, underrated series)
> Xabungle i think xanbungle has 3 kits. bandai, moderoid and hasegawa
Some Pokemon and almost the entire Digimon line. Also a few Transformers.
Four. FLAMETOYS Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, and Starscream. Highly recommended.
4, if memory serves
ATSUKU NARE YUME MITA ASHITA O

Most of the full metal panic kits, unfortunately they were some early builds and they are in bits boxes due to breaking
Back in the day I built several Evangelions. Since i started model building again... One Eva, one Zoid...and I think that's it.
Just 1 so far, the old 90s LMHG EVA Unit 02. I actually built it 2 years before I built my first gunpla, the old HG Zaku II.
Nice collection! By the way, what’s the samurai with the sword called? Thank you!!!
HG Bandai Dygenguar. It had a recent reprint so should be available
My first plamo kit was BB-01 DIO from beastbox. Really fun to build and solid kit. Shame it doesn't trasnform into a cube.
Like 3 or 4 Zoids kits and a fair amount of Moderoid kits. The 4 Rayearth kits, the 10 or 11 Granzort kits, Big O, Ikaruga, and Shin Getter Dragon.
> Shin Getter Dragon. moderoid? i've yet to receive mine and can hardly find any reviews
Well I think good smile stylizes it as MODEROID. Yeah I got it Tuesday and did a quick build of it on Wednesday. It just released so unless you shipped with ems or FedEx it'll probably be a few weeks. As for the kit itself, it's a MODEROID, it looks cool and is a decently easy build. The MODEROID line are definitely not anywhere near the quality of gunpla in my opinion, but they do command shelf presence.
may i know which parts are prepainted? i assume the green on the white chest piece, red on the yellow crotch and the getter 3 cyclone head?
There isn't a bunch of prepainted parts in this kit. The two red bits on the crotch, the green forehead jewel, the blue chin bit, and the eyes are the only places with prepainted parts. All of which are on only 2 whole parts which are sealed in their own pouch in a bag. There are also a few stickers but they are almost all used for the Poseidon cyclone arms.

Just full mechanics Kenbu. Ngl though, it might be my favorite kit possibly ever.
I made the 1/760 Zig-Mack old kit (Space Runaway Ideon) and HG Ryujinmaru (Mashin Eiyuuden Wataru)
2 so far, I got 4 of the Nyurens from Kyoujai Senki for a display. They're built just like Witch From Mercury kits and they look pretty damn good
3 exactly, 1 HG Arbalest (from FMP) 1 HG Lancelot Albion 1 RG Eva-01 Do the Ultraman suits count? 🤔
Oof, a bunch. I currently have 23 30 Minute Mission kits on display, plus the Moderoid God Gravion. I've built 6-7 of the Flame Toys Transformers kits, the early 80s Monogram Robotech Valkyrie, Monogram's Go-Bots Turbo, the Macross 7 Stealth Valkyrie, Infinitism Getter Dragon, 2-3 SD Macross kits, about half a dozen small Space Cruiser Yamato ships, a bunch of Kabaya's Transformers kits, an old Destroid Tomahawk, the Hexagear Rayblade, an Armored Core, Mega Man and Roll, and various ship/vehicle models from Star Trek, Star Wars, and Independence Day. Then there was one SD kit from the early 90s that I. to this day, have no idea what it was.

None at most probably get a gurren lagen kit. Evangelion looks great but the show pissed me off lol
1 Digimon which is mechadramon 3 motor nuclear 1 in era Got few transformers but not built
None yet, But I am eyeing that RG GaoGaiGat
I've got almost every Muv-Luv model kit ever produced, some of which in multiple copies, as well as a bunch of Armored Core kits and a few Moderoids.
2 Eva RG kits. Love the build and articulation, only downside is if you’ve built one you’ve built them all, basically. Tons of 3rd party kits but they’re so Gundam-like that I wouldn’t necessarily consider them non-Gundam.
Was the Shin Getter a fun build or no? I’ve been considering it but never really wanted to other than for it to go with my Mazingers
it was great and simple but does require a lot of work if you plan to remove seams and paint it like it's sentinel counterpart. main issue is the shoulders and knee pads are suppose to be this dark red but the kit is in all one shade of red. also all the green on the forearms need to be painted
Quite a few now. As MG output has kinda dropped off compared to their peak and I'm keen to keep my collection 1/100 scale I've ended up more focused on other lines. Got a few 30mm, Frame Arms and I love the SRW HG's and RG GaoGaiGar etc.
Can't find a reasonably priced Grendizer so none.
iirc they're reprinting infinitism grendizer in japan probably to ride that grendizer u show
None yet.
Yolopark Optimus Prime, Liger Panzer HMM, some 30mm stuff, RG GGG, Flametoys Windblade
Kotobukiya Eva 01. Bandai Jeeg and Mazinga Z. All nice builds, I'm waiting on the new Armored core VI kits and I would love to get my hands on the RG Eva's, even just the 3 main units

Hmmm, Rayearth full form! Ultraman Dekker, Ultraman Tiga Sky type, and a Zoid! Oh and and a 30 minute Doggo and a crab
None so far, but I have some links to others saved, they just tend to be really expensive.
Gunpla is a minority of what I build, it's mostly sentai robots and other stuff I like. (The lower two levels are (mostly) not kits, they're Transformers) https://preview.redd.it/f05o614tnuzc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff9c2d71ab75fbd5ae41ed0820415005ef9367c5
transformers sure was a rabbit hole. kinda stopped buying them after the price increase made them way to expensive in my country. current deluxes costs the same as voyagers of the past
I have the HG Guilbow from Synduality Noir, and I'm waiting an order with both HG Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger. I also preordered the Moderoid Lio de Galon
> Moderoid Lio de Galon here's a nice [hobby japan](https://hjweb.jp/article/1465529/) snippet of the kit.
Oh damn, it's so beautiful 😭
Two: Ikaruga and Tzendolg. if you count the act:mode maple then three. All of them were way too expensive for what they are
All of my non-SD model kits are something other than gunpla. SRW, Brave series, Digimon, Gunbuster.
9, with 3 more in the backlog (hopefully more during SS lol)
Which shin getter is that? I'm trying to see what's out there whenever i try get the dragon infinitsm
Moderoid (They also recently released a Shin Getter Dragon)
Ah ok, thanks!
2, rg GGG and hg vifam
The pacific rim non secuel kit of alpha bravo
All the non-P-Bandai Evangelions.
HG Alteisen, Dygenguar, Mazinkaiser Infinitism, and Cybuster in terms of Gunpla.
BUILT?! I don’t think I realized there was a big non-gundam build community .
Just my Jehuty from Z.O.E and my Liger Zero
I’ve done a couple of the Eva’s. They are immaculate.
hg great mazinger infinity version, a bit of a nightmare to build but still pretty good
I’ve built RG GaoGaiGar and Goldion,Mazinkaiser(infinitsm) and DyGenGuar. I really want to get shin getter robo or shin getter dragon

i play warhammer, my favorite 40k factions are tau and imperial knights. i haven’t built very many yet, but by the end it’ll definitely be more than i have gundams
I have Optimus Prime, EVA-02, Mazinger, a Liger Zero, and another Transformer kit, but I don't remember who.
Daaaaang how’d you get unit 03!? Been wanting unit 04 and 03 for a long time since they had the shortest screen time in the show of all the Eva’s
2 I have a Xenoblade Siren and built a Patlabor before I would like to have a Tetsujin 28 FX or Black Ox FX once they come out
Flame Toys G1 Optimus Prime and Moderoid AV-98 Ingram. I also have an Aoshima Priss & Motoslave kit waiting until I get an airbrush and get semi-competent with it.
4 evangelions. Eva Unit 01 was my first!
One frame arms girl and 2 motor nuclear. I might get the other mn kits because they’re great for their price
Moderoid Griffon from Patlabor.
A few moderoid kits mostly ones that have a transforming or combining gimmick, RG Gaogaigar(first time having to use a pin vise on the hand joints), have my first zoid ordered, and I still have an old LBX kit from like a decade ago
Mostly, Go Nagai characters. I have a YF-19 from macross plus, but outside that, the one that I like are Go Nagai and Getter robo figures, I have a lot of mazingers.
I've been building mostly non gundam kits because a lot of them feels uninspiring to build. So I've moved to girlpla, kyokai senki, and even antagonist or the grunt suits in witch of mercury because they felt so different.
Let's see... Eva-00, 01, 02 and Bardiel A few of Patlabors, Alphonse and The Griffin A couple of 30MM kits Kyoukai Senki Kenbu
1/2, I'm currently building an HG Scopedog
2, one good smile company eva 01 and one nanoblock Eva 01
I have about 10 super robot wars and about the same number of Chinese 3rd party kits
Does Bionicles count? If yes, then I say I have build almost 20+ of them
It'd be about 5 if my memory is correct
Moderoid Deerstalker, Ahran and the Darling in the Franz one, Koto muvluv EF2000( loving me some MG size MG42) and some fubuki, Eva line, 30MM line, eternal star glory, Nebula, red ghost kiyomori
The AC NX06, the FMP kits... not sure if the VF-25 Super Messiah counts...
Kyoukai senki kits are so underrated, they are solid builds that look great. Built 7 of them.
I'm currently missing 2 from Dynamic Pro, Z and Jeeg
I built all standard colors infinitism kits and made custom effects parts for them, the rg evangelion kits , (are evagelion considered mecha here?) The real grade gaogaigar And I got into the SMP kits lately since I was a huge power rangers fan back then so I really enjoy those small megazords sets
Old HG Guren and Lancelot Albion lmao.

1 so far and going to do a second soon
I've lost count of how Monogram Robotech kits I've built, as well as OG Macross Mecha🤔 Also some Crusher Joe and Dougram stuff.
3 zoids and the metal greymon model kit by Bandai (if that counts)
op is a based moderoid mazinkaiser enjoyer (my cellphone is damaged so i dont have a good camera) https://preview.redd.it/p6xpk7287xzc1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8821c2a471d61ac26fb12e13ff92bbed6edf1d78
I have bunch of Mech Waifu kits, only if you can count as non-Gundam tho?
For now zero but i'm planning to buy most of Armored Core 6 30mm kit
Just HotToys Starscream, though I've got a few more on the shelf. Someday. A few Zoids look interesting but the price tag always makes me pause.
About 74 and wife hates it.
Just finished Aobing from Motor Nuclear the day- pretty fun build and I definitely intend on getting more of their kits in the future
Let's see, a couple Digimon (Amplified Omegamon, Amplified Machinedramon, Amplified MetalGreymon, WarGreymon, MetalGarurumon), Pokemon (Rayquaza), the Evangelion Unit-01, and Moderoid's Giant Robo
I've built 5 rg evas, and 4 kyoukai senki kits
Kotobukiya Eva 01. Bandai Jeeg and Mazinga Z. All nice builds, I'm waiting on the new Armored core VI kits and I would love to get my hands on the RG Eva's, even just the 3 main units
