Project Robo G66...

I went Hock Lee plaza with my girlfriend, Chee Fong, yesterday night. She bought me a figurine model kit at a hobby shop on the ground floor. It's a model of Robo Giroro from the 'Keroro Gunsou' anime & manga series. If you guys have completely no idea what 'Keroro Gunsou' is, here's some info for you...

Keroro Gunsou also as known as Sgt. Frog in the US, talks about a platoon of frogs (there are 5 of them) invade Earth in attempt to rule the Universe. But their domination on Earth was brought to a halt due to the Hinata Family.


Keroro Gunsou (green)'s dream to take over Earth was disrupted when his platoon abandoned him alone on Earth. Under the Hinata Family, Keroro had to do meaningless chores & errands. Keroro is easily distracted, & rather spend his time fixing Gundam or surf the Internet than taking over Earth. Aside from Keroro's laziness, Sgt. Keroro's mission is also distracted by the constant abusing & bullying of Hinata's Family's daughter, Natsumi.

Keroro's personality is 360 degrees different to Corporal Giroro (red), who is aggressive but perhaps the only sane individual in the platoon. He is the group's gunman with deadly accuracy, ears from hell, and exceptionally good at cooking potatoes. He is often frustrated with Keroro's laziness, and is disgruntled to have him as a leader. Private Second Class Tamama (black), who loves the Sergeant and is extremely cute, but is extremely sensitive to the point where he reverts to a violent berserker at the single buzz of a fly. He is also grudgingly jealous of anyone who gets near the Sergeant. Next is the platoon's inventor, Sergeant Major Kururu (yellow), is gloomy, insidious, unpopular, and disliked by everyone, who see him as a depressing jerk. He makes most of the platoon's inventions using the money Keroro earns through his daily chores. Finally, the last member Dororo (blue), who is a ninja, and has known Keroro and Giroro since their childhood. Despite Dororo is from a rich family, he is often used as a meat shield by Keroro, but Dororo still follows Keroro's insane orders without question. Due to certain childhood abuse, Dororo falls into a deep but temporary state of depression whenever he is reminded of something bad Keroro did to him in his childhood.

This anime is worth watching as it is so damn hilarious. The humor in this anime is non-stop. Anyway, the main reason for this post is that my girlfriend bought me a model kit, which is form the character Giroro (my fav character), which is piloting the G66 robo.

Took me 1 & a half hours to fix, colour(gundam marker) & assemble the kit. Pretty simple though... The end result was the most satisfying. If compare to a HG (high grade) kit, this kit is nothing. Pretty simple to assemble as I have fix a MG (Master Grade) Gundam kit before.
The inside is almost the same with a Starter Grade Gundam Kit, the one that cost around Rm30 Gundam (in a small box, scale 1/144). But this kit have more articulation point compare to the SG Gundam Kit.

After painting & marking, my figurine was finally ready. Ladies & Gentlemen, with great 'pleasure', i present to you, Project G66, Robo Giroro!

The kit is in good shape & quality. There's another one left in Hock Lee Plaza, which is Tamama's Robo. I think I'm getting that soon... Anyway, thank you darling, for buying me this kit! haha... peace!
