Gundam in all guises

Turns out that the MG Gundam Unicorn Banshee Final Battle DOESNT light up by LED.
Instead its a special material designed to react under UV or blacklight.

At any rate I found 2 other places where you can buy him other then Tokyohunter. BiginJapan.com is one of them. The other is hobbyjapan.ocnk.net. Never heard of the last place but Im going to see if they ship internationally.

VGM out...

As for what those Gundams have in common, well, they're all 1/144 scale Gundams - that's my guess.

Yes, they are all 1/144 scale but thats not the link - since I doubt anyone will get it, they are all Gundams featured in Dynasty Warriors 3: Gundam. Just need to get a Shin Musha Mk I and II to top it off.

1/48 Gundam AGE-2 is up for pre-order!

I wonder how many more they are going to make and if this will be a regular line.

I only have two gundam(s) which were given to me. MG Crossbone like every else has and a turquoise dude with metallic pink stickers and a protruding crotch.

Crossbone was great in the fact that it had so many damn weapons, I gave them all to my tf figures that are mainly weaponless (except the crossbow).

On the other hand though, it just fell apart whenever I barely touched it. I had to glue the cloth onto the shoulders and other parts that kept falling off. I know it is a model kit but yeah, not really impressed.

It was fun building both, but I prefer figures. Although I am tempted by some of those HMM Zoids hehe....

VGM:
I think the Mega Size line will keep going. Probably 2-3 a year. We already had RX78, Zaku 2 and Chars Zaku 2. Then Age-1 Normal and now Age-2 Normal. If Age-3 Normal anything that the leaked pics to go by, it might not happen as it's one big mech (much like ZZ)

KA:
Yeah not a good place to start with MG Crossbone. Very fragile kit with some engineering problems. Although I'm sure the ReZel was much better. That's one of my favorites actually. Kit's are not for everyone, as it's mainly the build and not so much for playability. You build, you pose then display. Better off with the Robot Damashii figures for playable Gundam figures.

Finally finished this bad boy! This guy's posabilty with the gun is horrible, as about the only thing that can be moved is the free arm. Lots of parts interfere with each other so this is strictly a limited pose display piece. That said I do quite like it, the massive gun is crazy excessive.

Pics!

Took you awhile mate, but well worth it!

That's awesome - nice subtle weathering and very well put together. You can definitely tell that plenty of time and effort was put into building it.

As for massive guns, you might want to check out maybe ReZEL Commander - he's got more poseability but still packs a big ass gun.

So, anymore Gundams in the pipeline?

Thanks VP, I like the look of this guy on my shelf.
No more gundams right now, as I haven't seen anything that shouts 'buy me!'. I'm just going to chip away at my stash of autos, namely something that rhymes with 'comendador'

PWOAR! Sharp as gamblor! Really like the G3 like colours and everything just looks professional and effortless. The real pity is the model's flexibility or lack of as a figure. Maybe on a base? At least his legs can be given a few poses? Well done though!

Mmmm I gotta get myself a ReZel Commander. Loved regular ReZel but the wings and mega gun is a definite winner.

Thanks Stompy. This guy is a nice display piece I like the look of on my shelf.
