So does this Sazabi Customized Build. This one looks really epic! :o The added details are gorgeous and really makes the suit look like a MG/PG Gunpla. That's some serious talent!

The Keikyu Corporation announced that their Grand Pacific Le Daiba hotel in Odaiba, Tokyo will begin offering a Gundam-themed room for customers to stay in beginning June 29. The room is being offered in collaboration with the Gundam Front Tokyo entertainment complex located near the newly rebuilt 1/1 Gundam statue.

The "Room-G Special Type" suite features an Earth Federation-themed living room and and Zeon-themed bedroom, totaling 84 square meters (about 900 square feet) of space. The room will feature Gundam art on its walls, as well as Gundam-themed chairs, room keys, towels, and more. Visitors staying in the room will also be able to order from a special Gundam-themed room service menu. While the room and hotel are located near the 1/1 Gundam statue, it will not be viewable from the room.

The room will cost 26,000 yen (about US$330) a person if it is reserved for two, and 25,000 yen (about US$317) a person if it is reserved for three. Up to three individuals may stay in the room at one time, and only one-night stays in the room can be booked.

The hotel is also offering a "Room-G Standard Type" room plan, where parts of a standard 42-square-meter (about 450 square feet) room are arranged to be Gundam themed. The Standard Type room will cost 13,500 yen (about US$171) per person per night when reserved for two, and 12,500 yen (about US$158) per person per night when reserved for three.

Each room will also come with tickets for the Gundam Front complex. Reservations for the rooms will open June 11.

That Mk-II and RX-78-2 are both looking gorgeous! Same goes for that Marasai. Too bad that Shamblo is only 1/144. I'd love to have it if it was bigger and had more details.

This Zaku-II looks pretty great as well:

One thing I might note is that it's pretty cool that Yasuo Ohtagaki is writing Gundam Thunderbolt. He's the guy behind the great anime "Moonlight Mile" as well.

Never heard of Ohtagaki. But yeah. I really wish Thunderbolt was an anime and not manga. I'd rather wait like what they did with Unicorn, or make a full fledged series.

Too bad that the post to that Jegan doesn't exist anymore.

Also, Sinanju Stein looks very sexy:

I had seen it before but only in drawn pictures of course. It could be seen as the "brother" unit of the Unicorn Gundam because they both are based off of the combat data taken from the Sazabi and RX-93 ? Gundam.

It's a pretty nice custom though. I don't see an MG release in the future though since it's not featured in any anime. Though it is featured in a video game.

I would've loved to see an anime about the development of these mobile suits and the testing. Kinda like "Advance of Zeta", an anime where they test prototype units and where you see them building them and talking about them etc. Kinda like the manga "Outer Gundam" but with nicer mobile suits and a story that's actually cannon and whatnot.

Well I don't think they will do that, sure it can be included in the anime, but I can't see them basing a whole story on building prototype mobile suits. Formula for Gundam anime series : War-> Needs Soldiers->Soldiers-> Advanced Tech-> Mobile Suits->Gundam.

    • Does your iPad support the latest iPadOS version? Here's the iPadOS 27 compatibility list

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Does your iPad support the latest iPadOS version? Here's the iPadOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple announced a ton of new updates and changes during its WWDC 2026 keynote. Of course, the center stage was captured by Apple Intelligence and the new upgraded Siri AI, which brings contextual awareness to Apple's voice assistant. This year's WWDC didn't have a dedicated section discussing what's new in iPadOS 27. That's probably because Apple has been unifying its software ecosystem in recent years through feature parity, changes to its naming scheme, and the Liquid Glass design language that spans all of its operating systems. That said, iPadOS 27 is coming later this year. Here are the iPad models present on the official list of supported devices: iPad Pro (M4 and later) iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th generation and later) iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation and later) iPad Air 13-inch (M2 and later) iPad Air 11-inch (M2, M3, and M4) iPad Air 11-inch (4th generation and later) iPad (A16) iPad (9th generation and later) iPad mini (A17 Pro) iPad mini (6th generation and later) iPadOS 27 is now available as a developer beta release to try out the new features. To get the update on your supported model, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates. Here, select "iOS 27 Developer Beta" from the options to get the latest update. In addition to iPadOS 27, you can try the developer beta versions of iOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and HomePod software 27 on your supported devices. The newest iPad update shares many features with its siblings, including the Liquid Glass slider, performance improvements, an enhanced Flyover in Maps, an updated CPU scheduler, and more. Apple said during the keynote that browsing and transferring files from iPad to an external drive is up to 5x faster. Apple also announced a platter of child safety features and Screen Time updates, which are making their way to iPadOS 27 as well. Siri AI is supported on iPadOS, but the upgraded assistant won't be available in the EU due to DMA restrictions.

      I do trust Apple probably more than these other companies with certain data, but I also do think (and it has been demonstrated that) Apple pulls a lot of shenanigans and always has for a long time.
    • Does your iPhone support the latest iOS version? Here's the iOS 27 compatibility list

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Does your iPhone support the latest iOS version? Here's the iOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari It's that time of year when we get to know about the latest operating system updates for Apple devices. For iPhone, Apple previewed the iOS 27 update at WWDC 2026, where the company finally introduced an upgraded version of Siri. Apple typically supports iPhone models for up to five years. But it has been making exceptions in recent years (read iPhone 11). If you're wondering whether your iPhone is compatible with the iOS 27 update, here is the official list of devices: iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17, iPhone 17e, iPhone Air iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16e iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone SE (3rd generation) So, you can download the iOS 27 developer beta on up to 31 different iPhone models. There has been no change to the list of supported iPhones since iOS 26. However, it will expand to include more devices when the iPhone 18 series arrives later this year. To download the developer beta on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates. Here, select "iOS 27 Developer Beta" from the list of choices to get the new update. In addition to iOS 27, you can try the developer beta versions of macOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and HomePod software 27 on your supported devices. iOS 27 comes with improved Liquid Glass, which you can adjust using a new transparency slider. Apple said during the keynote that iPhone apps now launch up to 30% faster, new photos appear in the Photos app up to 70% faster, and AirDrop transfers work up to 80% faster. The new update promises to improve performance on older iPhones by introducing a new CPU Scheduler that supports devices all the way back to the iPhone 11. While iOS 27 is supported on older iPhones, it goes without saying that they'll lack several features due to hardware differences. For instance, iPhone 14/14 Plus and older models come with a notch instead of the Dynamic Island. Similarly, Apple Intelligence features are supported on iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and later models.
