Hey everyone,

If you just typed in the old address and noticed your browser flashed and brought you here—don’t worry, you are in the right place!

After running under the GundamPH banner for over 15 years, it’s time for a much-needed fresh start. As many of you know, the site has basically been sitting in a quiet limbo since August 2013. I hit a massive wall of burnout back then trying to maintain regular posts and kit/figure reviews on top of managing a community which I helped started. I needed to step away, and during that long hiatus, my life moved forward. I relocated from the Philippines a while ago, and as my environment changed, my collection changed along with it.

While I still love Mecha and Gunpla, my shelves are now sharing space with high-end 1/6 scale figures, and even some premium fountain pens. Because of that, the old name just felt a bit too specific and regionally locked for where the hobby is taking me.

Welcome to OmniScale Toys—my new global, multi-hobby space.

What happens to the old content?

Absolutely nothing! I am keeping the entire 15-year archive of Gundam guides, non-PG lists, and historical reviews completely alive right here. You might still see the old “Gundam Philippines” logo and branding scattered across these older posts for a while, but all future updates will live under the new OmniScale name.

What to expect moving forward:

I want this hobby to feel like a hobby again, which means leaving the grinding review formats in the past.

Moving forward, things are going to be incredibly casual. This site is turning into a low-pressure personal diary. Expect plenty of simple image dumps, quick photo showcases, and my raw thoughts and opinions on whatever newly posed figure or pen is sitting on my desk that week. No strict schedule, no corporate stress—just a collector sharing cool stuff.

The old domain will redirect here automatically indefinitely, so you don’t need to change anything. Thank you to everyone who followed the old blog over the last decade and more, and I hope you stick around to see what hits the shelves next!

Cheers,
OmniCollector

Today, July 21, 2012 marks the first month since we have established the GundamPH Facebook Group. We currently have 701 members at the time of this writing and we are looking forward to see more people joining the group. The past month has been quite exciting for everyone, it has only been one month yet we felt that the people and the bond we have is already made by years. I must say that GundamPH has succesfully reached its goal to create a place where people can talk about their hobbies without worrying about strict rules. More power to GPH! Keep on sharing the gunpla love and never forget to just enjoy the moment!!!

I have just read a wonderful news today. Enough to make me jump out of bed despite of being sick because of the rain. Anyway, according to a news from a trusted source, Bandai Namco holdings already announced that they are going to build a factory here in the Philippines with the initial purpose of making capsule toys and figures. The company will be named Bandai (Philippines) Inc. and the headquarters will be located at the province of Batangas. Good news for us collectors here in the Philippines!
