Model Kit Build: "Chinagguy" by Bandai
Okay! Here she is: Chinagguy. Undoubtedly the most ridiculous and cutesy model kit I've put together so far.
Are you familiar with the actual Gunpla that this one is cosplaying? Here ya go - The equally silly KUMA-03 Beargguy III:
The most uncuddlable teddy bear since Roosevelt.
Anyways, let's get started, shall we?
Here we have another one of those horrifying face masks, like the Mrs. Loheng-Rinko model had. I'm just gonna hurry up and put the head together before this thing Chuckys me.
Ahh, much better. Here she is. Much cuter now.
So, this kit had the option to use these "invisible lens" style frames or an actual pair of plastic glasses that kind of made her eyes bigger, like real ones. I wanted to use those instead, but I really botched putting the red frames on them because they were a tiny, slivery sticker. Ah well, these are nice, too.
And the torso shot. There's not a lot of photos for this build because it had a surprisingly low amount of parts and stickers for a High Grade kit! I built this one in maybe about an hour, and I was taking my sweet time.
I legit wish all Gundams had a thigh gap like this. They would all be able to actually stand sturdy if that were the case, haha.
In this state, this also looks like some sort of Loli fashion Fryguy or some shit. Maybe I should have just stopped here to confuse people, or just popped the head on top!
But I'm not a monster (?!).
Here she is in full bear costume glory! Ms. China Kousaka, ready to kick your Gunpla's ass.
In an adorable way. Look at that ridiculous maid-style outfit! I love it, y'all.
What's next for building?
I have a teeny, tiny little Gundam that fits in a literal Cup Noodle container. Stay tuned!

Highlights:
I quit vaping!!! March 27th!! So far so strong. I'd been without nicotine since just before the winter holidays and now going without completely!
We moved the CRT into the living room! Now we have both functional retro and modern gaming setups!! I'm obsessed, I started replaying Dead Space 2 and I love the feeling and sound of the hum of a crt and a PS3 booting up.
I made a bunch of perler bead bows and other perler crafts for the craft room walls! It's so cute and I love it so far.
We were kindly gifted a little orange and green mushroom led neon sign that we put in the craft room!
We started displaying all our cute lil pins on a corkboard in the craft room! Plus our con badges and con pins. It's nice to have memories of the summer we spent as my hubby on staff for a local con and I was a volunteer. I did maid cafe that year and it was such a fun time. It's been so long, I can't believe how much things have changed! It's been nice to be able to have those things out on display and look back fondly!
Got our sentimental stuff stored into proper boxes! Glad to have it all done.
I started connecting with people I've known for years but not necessarily very close with which has been nice! I worked with an old friend that I used to work with at a local hotel and she's just such a delight to reconnect with!
Not many more highlights to add without it being a mile long LOL so I'll keep it brief with these! April is our anniversary month 🥰 I can't wait to celebrate with my boy with some time off!
