MINI FIG coming near you in NOV!

The MINI FIG! This is a new collection of figurations of 1/200 Gundam. By looking at the picture, the MINI FIGs are pretty good in details. The listed price for the MINI FIG is 780 yen. That comes to around 10 bucks each. Again, if you don't know this already. I live in Seattle, Washington. There is a Japanese Super Market, Uwajimaya, here. I hope they will sell those there. There price for toys are usually pretty good!



Here is the size comparison of the MINI FIG and the Gundam Fix.

Up Coming G.F.F Release Schedule - Dec 08

Wow, In Feb, we are going to get our hands on the big Z-plus!!!! Yes, I have covered so many time on this Gundam. I can't wait for it. There are also MINI FIG coming in DEC too. My next blog entry is going to cover that! Stay tuned! Also, the red warrior is coming in NOV too!

Gundam Fix Metal MRX-010 PSYCO GUNDAM Mk-II #1003 1/144 Scale

It's BIG! It is freaking HUGE. It's purple, and it's evil. That's my first impression!


This version of the Psyco Gundam MK II comes with a stand (shown in the below pictures) for Gundam mode, and Mobile Fortress mode. This fix is way bigger in real life than you can see in the pictures. It is around 300mm tall. It's the tallest Fix out there in the wild!

It's even bigger and taller than the Gundam FIX 1002 Psyco Gundam Metal Composite Fix!

Now let's dive down to the details. B0y, this Fix is perfectly painted, the paint job is as perfect as all the other 100X series. Not a single flaw on the paint job! However, the head. Hmm.... the head is a bit inproportional compare to the rest of the body. I wish they can make the head a bit bigger. Also, the legs are way too log for the body too, or the body is too short for the Gundam. To see that in perspective, MK II is taller than the MK I, but the head is smaller, and the body is shorter. It is just not quite working for me.


The Gundam is made of the hard plastic and metal. However, The only metal parts are the joints. The actual metal part is in the ass, the leg joints, and internal leg frame. You can see that from the below pictures.





The "mobile fortress" mode:

When the Gundam in this mode, it looks awesome! It looks as good as it can be!




Posting!

One word! Hard! This fix is hard to post! The legs are too long. There is a tendency for all transformable Fixes that they look out of proportion when they are in the Gundam form, and their parts are falling apart. Good examples are the Gundam Fix 0024 Z Gundam, and the Gundam Fix 0016 Z plus. The below picture is the best I can post this Gundam. Don't get me wrong, when the Gundam is in the mobile fortress mode, it looks awesome. It looks some what funky when it is in Gundam mode.



Value:

It's huge and with the excellent paint job. I think it worth getting it if you can get it under 100 US dollars including shipping from ebay.

History:

Roughly halfway through Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, the mostly-intact body of the Psyco Mark II was recovered by the Neo Zeon forces under Haman Khan. After being brought back online, the Mark II is delivered to Glemy Toto's detachment overseeing the colony drop operation on Dublin. Piloted by Puru Two (a clone of Elpeo Puru in Toto's service), the Mark II's full potential wreaks havoc on the AEUG forces attempting to evacuate Dublin. The goliath is heavily damaged during the drop itself, and destroyed for good by protagonist Judau Ashta'sZZ Gundam (unlike its previous operator, Puru Two makes good use of the detachable head and escapes).

Conclusion:

This Fix has some head, body, and legs proportional problems. However the paint job is perfectly done, and it's huge. It's not a must buy, but if you have extra money to spend, get it! I still recommend people to get this huge Gundam Fix!

Gundam Fix 0040 - final product pictures

Gundam Fix 1005 MSZ-006 Z plus - more info

Check this out! It is the up coming Gundam Fix 1005. A 12 inches tall Z plus. This time you can really transform it without breaking it. The smaller Z plus (Gundam Fix 0017) is very easy to break, and it does not look good in it's Gundam Form. If you look at the picture closely, you can see that it has all the backpacks and armors when the gundam is in heavy armor form. I am looking forward to buying this one!

More details about G.F.F #1004 RX-78-2 Gundam Ver. Ka - scan

This a scan from November release of Hobby Japan.

The new GFF #1004 is basically same as the #1001, without the G-armor. What's new in the box is that you will get a Gundam hammer, and the bean javelin. Also, it will come with the making of "Gundam Crisis".

Also, you will see some graphic differences. At the antenna, you will see a print of "Gundam". There are also another logo on the left shoulder.

G.F.F. #0014 Transformation Project - Day 6 - Completion

Yesterday, we had the legs put onto the body. Today, we put the arms, and the backpack boosters back on. In the below pictures, you can see that two while joint that I built for the arms. They are four pieces of 1mm plastic sheets stack on each other. Then I cut out the shape, and used super glue to glue them together. Notice that I also drill a hole on the joint that I built to fit into the original shoulder joint that comes with the


A closer look to the G-crusier, you can see the shape of the joint.
