REVIEWS FROM 2011

Both of my children (ages 4 & 7) are huge fans of these characters, and are able to spend hours on end fantasizing stories and activities imagined and inspired by them. Even though the characters may or may not be modeled after real creatures, my kids are able to make some assumptions regarding what each represents.  For example, several remind them of our own pets, even though they are clearly not animals.  They have been given their own unique names, like Cat Lady, and Scary Friend who are seen as pet replicas - Cat Lady has her own litter box and Scary has his very own dog bed inside the rocket ship in which they reside. Both are able to converse and my kids are very comfortable imagining them as super pets who can go from simple play activities to saving lives and using the super powers to help one another. I suspect this kind of imaginary play action is how many younger children engage with these characters, regardless of their original roles in the fantasy realms created by Bandai. As parents, we love to see this, and encourage it. The models are truly unique, creative and inspire kids to bring them to life.

More Background on GGInfiniteNews.com

Since its inception in 2010, GGInfiniteNews.com has established itself as a cornerstone within the Gundam model and collectibles communities. As a specialized platform, it has gained a reputation for delivering the latest news, reviews, and updates on Gundam models, collectibles, and related merchandise. Although the site is now defunct, with its content preserved through various archives, its impact on the Gundam community remains significant.

History and Evolution

GG Infinite News was launched by GG Infinite LLC, a company dedicated to serving the niche yet passionate community of Gundam enthusiasts. The website emerged as an extension of the Gundam Guy Blog, a popular destination for fans of Japanese model kits and collectibles, particularly those produced by Bandai. GG Infinite News capitalized on the rising interest in Gunpla (Gundam plastic models) and other mecha-related merchandise, positioning itself as a trusted source for news, reviews, and product availability.

Over the years, GGInfiniteNews.com became known for its in-depth product reviews and unboxing videos. Contributors, often identified by pseudonyms, provided detailed analyses of various Gundam model kits and figures. The site offered a blend of written reviews and video content, catering to both casual fans and serious collectors. It also served as a hub for community interaction, with users frequently discussing the latest releases and sharing their custom builds.

Audience and Community Engagement

GGInfiniteNews.com primarily catered to a global audience of Gundam enthusiasts. The site's content was particularly appealing to collectors and model builders who sought the latest information on upcoming releases and the best practices for assembling and customizing their kits. The website’s forums and comment sections were active with discussions, allowing users to share their experiences, tips, and opinions on different models and accessories.

The community aspect of GGInfiniteNews.com was a critical part of its success. The website facilitated connections between like-minded individuals, fostering a sense of camaraderie among Gundam fans. This engagement was further enhanced by regular updates, which ensured that the community remained informed and involved in the latest trends and developments within the Gundam universe.

Content and Reviews

One of the most significant contributions of GGInfiniteNews.com was its extensive library of product reviews. The site covered a wide range of products, including high-grade (HG) and master-grade (MG) Gundam kits, as well as figures from other popular franchises like Kamen Rider and Dragon Ball Z. Reviews were often accompanied by high-quality images and videos, offering a detailed look at the products from multiple angles.

For example, reviews of items like the HGUC 1/144 RGM-96X Jesta and the MG 1/100 GN-0000GNHW7SG 00 Gundam Seven Sword/G were particularly popular, providing fans with in-depth analyses of the models’ build quality, articulation, and overall design. Contributors like "Falldog" and "PatrickGrade" became well-known within the community for their thorough and unbiased reviews.

In addition to reviews, GGInfiniteNews.com frequently posted news about upcoming releases, special editions, and exclusive items. These posts were a valuable resource for collectors looking to stay ahead of the curve and secure limited-edition kits before they sold out.

Press and Media Coverage

Despite its niche focus, GG Infinite News received attention from various media outlets within the anime and model-building communities. Its dedication to providing accurate and timely information made it a reliable source for Gundam-related news. The site was occasionally cited in articles discussing the broader trends within the Gunpla community, highlighting its role in popularizing Gundam models outside of Japan.

Cultural and Social Significance

GGInfiniteNews.com played a crucial role in the cultural exchange between Japanese pop culture and Western audiences. By offering detailed coverage of Gundam models and other Japanese collectibles, the site contributed to the growing popularity of these products in the West. It also helped demystify the complexities of Gundam lore for new fans, making the franchise more accessible to a broader audience.

Moreover, the site’s focus on high-quality content and community engagement set a standard for other niche websites. It demonstrated the viability of specialized content platforms in the digital age, paving the way for other fan-driven communities to thrive online.

 

GGInfiniteNews.com may no longer be active, but its legacy continues to influence the Gundam community. The site’s dedication to quality content, community engagement, and comprehensive coverage of Gundam models and collectibles helped solidify its place as a trusted resource for fans worldwide. For those looking to understand the evolution of Gunpla culture and the broader impact of Gundam on global pop culture, GG Infinite News remains a vital chapter in that story.
