And what's with this leather bondage suit that Kira has taken to wearing? I keep waiting for Lacas to say "Bring out the Gimp" . Graham

Yes, Mia does seem more erm......'bouncy' than Lacus, if you know what I mean. Graham

I'm a little bit worried about those MWers who have proposed to customise their Monster with 'battle damage'. Me thinks a visit to a specialist may soon be in order. Graham

So how many of you have let your wife/girlfriend/significant other play with your Monster? Graham

But what about sunlight? Should we all expose our Monsters, or keep them in the dark? Graham

Variable Fighter (157,000 results) versus Mobile Suit (5,920,000 results) The winner is: Mobile Suit Graham

The nosecone on my Monster sometimes droops in Shuttle mode. Is this a problem? Graham

So you like to twist and jerk your Monster do you? Graham

As long as the toy is fine and nothing is missing and the box is undamaged (if you are one of these collectors into mint boxes), does it really matter too much whether the tape has been cut and new tape added? As a former seller, I would often cut the tape on Yamato toys before shiping them, just so I could check the contents as sometimes parts would be missing from the factory. This way, I could make sure the customer was getting a complete toy with all accessories. Anyway, can you please post any TF related questions in the pinned TF thread at the top of the page. Graham

Lunamaria getting the Impulse would be cool. She is my favorite female character in Destiny. However, you just know that as a 2nd tier chracter she will die a tragic death before the end of the series . Graham

The MMM Strike is a nice toy no doubt. I also own both the MMM Aile Strike and the MMM Sword/Laucher Strike, although I passed up the 2003 HK Gundam convention excusive clear armor MMM Sword/Launcher version. Still, once you add all the armor to the internal skeleton, articulation does become fairly limited on the MMM Strike. Also, I'm not too happy with the ease that the front and rear groin armor comes off. Personally, I think the superior articulation of the MMMGQ impulse more than makes up for the lower die-cast content. Sorry to sound like a broken record, but I feel Bandai have really done a first class job on the MMMGQ and it's definitely the best toy I bought last year. Graham

, ah but maybe it was the other way around. After the war of all wars, you finally get to settle down with one of the most beautiful girl in world, and you already have previous experience in "you know".. so i'm sure they did lots if "this and that" maybe a bit too much, that's why Kira always looks tired like a old man. Lacus might want it every night so much that it even tired a super coorinator out.... There's no such thing as 'too much' Graham

That pose from ep # 2 should be no problem for the MMMGQ Sword Impulse. As mentioned, the MMMGQ has awesome articulation and the joints are tight enough that it can hold any pose without the limbs sagging. Just thinking it would be great if Bandai also released an MMMGQ Zaku warrior line of toys. With all the different color variants (green, white, blue, red & orange) shown so far in the anime, they certainly would get enough use out of the molds. I'd definitely buy at least one of each. Graham

Heh, just finished watching eps 11 & 12. Looks like Kira is not getting any from Lacus as she's always shown sleeping with an orphan. No wonder Kira looks so moody. Bet Kira wishes he had Frey back. She may have been a bit psycho, but at least she was willing to do the deed . Graham

Just wondering, after Shin gets his mid-season replacement MS, who will take over piloting the Impulse, assuming it is not destroyed outright? I'm betting either Rey or Yzak. Graham

I'm pretty sure that those pics on the Tamashii website are of the painted resin sculpt, which is why they look so good. The pics in the latest Hobby Japan show the finished PVC toy and it doesn't look quite so impressive. I'm still gonna get one though as I want a Freedom toy. As nice as the MG Freedom model looks, I can't bring myself to start buying model kits again. Hope we get an MMMGQ Freedom later. Graham

I'm sure you will be extremely impressed with the MMMGQ Sword Impulse. My MMMGQ Force Impulse blows the MSiA Force Impulse out of the water and is far superior IMO even to the MMM Strike toy. The range of articulation on the MMMGQ Impulse is outstanding and the toy can pull off some awesome action poses. Also the MMMGQ is great quality all the way, excellent construction, well finished, super poseable, nice tight joints and holds its weapons and accesories really well. I haven't been this impressed with a toy in many years. Highly recommended. Graham

XSToys has already admitted to breaking his monster......ouch ! Graham

Me too. best character in the PT IMO. Graham

Haven't bought any SW figs since about 1982. However, when the OT DVDs were released, I did go on a spending spree and bought a whole heap of the SW Action Fleet ships. I'm more of a spacecraft and robot guy than an action figure fan. Graham

I've only put the eyes on the chest ant the UN Spacy Kite emblems on the shoulders. That's all I'm planning to put on. Graham

Oh dear, based on those pics I am panicking already. Marvin looks like a giant cudly ping pong ball, Ford is a black Hip Hop singer!!!!Zaphoid with no second head.....WTF are they thinking? Give me the books or the hillarious BBC TV series anyday. Usually, I don't like to knock a movie before seeing it, but this is going to be bad, bad, bad. I will avoid this like the plague. Graham

Been meaning to ask, how are the official Bandai R1 US SEED DVDs? Are they censored at all? I heard rumors about pistols being changed to a neon color, or some such nonsense when it aired on US TV. Also are the DVDs dub only or are they subbed? If they are subbed, is it proper subs or dubtitles? Graham

Nope, they didn't have any of the upcoming 2005 MSiA on display at the HK Gundam Expo . However, there's some new pics of the Freedom MSiA in the new February issue of Hobby Japan. I'll try to get them scanned. I'm expecting the Freedom MSiA along with the Blue & White Zakus to hit shops here in HK in late January. Graham
