Q: What Gundam series brought you to the world of Gundam and why?
A: Actually, SD GUNDAM FORCE is my favorite! Since I was an Highschool dude, I always look forward, watching it on Cartoon Network along with DAIGUNDER on Animax, while I was playing Pokemon Trading Card Game with my childhood pals and cousin! But, I wasn’t able to finish the show luckily, there is youtube and I can watch them like before.

Let’s talk about Gunpla.
Q: Why did you to start Gunpla building?
A: At first, when I was 15 yrs old. One of my childhood pal gave me an RX 78-2 *”Lolo” Gundam scaling 1/144 old school as a gift for my 15th Birthday.. Thats my first gunpla! Sad to say it was on our old house in Las Piñas together with my digimon and pokemon figures..
*(lolo = granpa, RX 78 gundam is know for as the grand grand grand, oh you know what I mean… 🙂 )
Q: How long have you been building gunpla?
A: I started to build gunpla, when I was 15. Due to non-profitable kid back then, and none came after that and because my friends and I preferred Pokemon TCG before.
Q: What was your very first kit and why did you chose that model?
A: Like I said awhile ago, RX 78-2 HG Gundam is my very first kit. Actually, I didnt chose that oldschool dude, because its just a gift for me..
Q: Is TYRANT an SD fan?
A: I would like to say that I, Jerry John Tyrant Cruz Goiti Jr. is a CERTIFIED SD FAN even without any CERTIFICATE! Just kidding.. haha
Q: What do SD models have, that caught your attention and inspired you to collect?
A: Sinanju SD caught my attention on that day because it is red and that is one of my KUMANDER’s pick back then .. and that’s my first ever SD kit and from that moment, new friends came along… a total of 7 SDs..
Q: What is your favorite SD kit? Why?
A: My favorite SD Kits?? Hmmmm.. That’s hard! Grabe!! All of our SD of my Kumander are our favorite!! But i would like to say that Epyon SD is one of my favorite. (for the sake of picking one, hope the others won’t feel bad! Naku!)
Q: As we have seen, you custom your SD models to have their eyes lit. How did you come up with this customization, the “TYRANT custom”?
A: Why #tyrantcustom? to tell you frankly dude, Tyrant is my Nickname during my college days and my codename since i was grade 6 i think? Hehe.. I remember a book before(don’t remember the title) when i was in grade school, there is a Vampire named Tyrant, the highlight of the story is Tyrant the vampire is “compassionate” with his slaves, he was a leader but moody and sometimes cruel and kill bad vampires “vampanese” .. I found him cool so there.. then I used his name”TYRANT” on Online Games, etc. #TyrantCustom has a hidden meaning also, I saw before, a picture of the glowing red eyes of Resident Evil T-virus “Tyrant” so that’s it..
SD fans, look forward for TYRANT’s how to “TYRANT custom”.
Q: How many SD models you have now?
A: As of this moment, me and my kumander has 41 built kits , 3 SD horse, 5 unbuilt kits and including my only MG kit, Epyon.
And many more to come?
A: Ofcourse!! But it’s gonna be the last one, the one that I bought this Christmas! (I think I already said this before, but in a different statement) haha..
Now that is an SD fan!!
Q: Do you have a dream SD kit or is there a kit that you really want? Or an SD kit that you hope bandai would make?
A: For my Dream SD kit that I want, I rather wish for a BEARGUY SD!! Haha!! And that’s BANDAI for sure! Hope its not IMPOSSIBLE! haha!
A lot of SD fans really want a BEARGUY SD!!
To finish things up, how about a word of inspiration to other SD fanatics?
TYRANT: Since I am a filipino, I would say that ” kapag tayo ay nagbi-build ng SD GUNPLA, gamitin natin ang ating mga IMAHINASYON at DISKARTE!” (“When we build SD Gunpla, let us use our IMAGINATION and RESOURCEFULNESS!”)
“TANDAAN, HINDI MO MALALAMAN KUNG HINDI MO SUSUBUKAN!”
(“REMEMBER, I WON’T KNOW UNTIL YOU TRY!”)
Thank you so much.
And thank you also Mr. Jerry for letting us, know you. Keep buildin’!! And more love for SD!!
Every month, we will be featuring a fellow SDnatic!! Those whose love for SD Gunpla go way beyond…If your one of us, or knows someone who is, just let me know.
Till the next kit,
SD Dude
