zeo-mare Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 here it is along side the MK II to show you the size of it. it is a incredible piece and one of the neatest Fixes they have put out so far, some of the parts however in the Xi mode have a tendency to fall off due to the fact they just slide on over existing parts and have no pegs the dragon is also a bitch to put together, but it is still a eye opener.
zeo-mare Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 fom the back this is one of the best figures they have put out so far i definelty recomend it.
zeo-mare Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 i think you could use the normal Xi armor for the backside if you want it is similar to the front skirt armor. chris
Guppy Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 yeah, its rear skirt looks like it was stolen from a Gelgoog.
Black Valkyrie Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 Hmm..... this Gundam design reminds me of Escaflowne dragons.
zeo-mare Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 i definetly agree about the Escaflowne. well i just got my first HCM Pro in today i like these a real lot i am going to get the Nemo and Rick Dias next. my only real gripe is that i will be spending more money out of my pocket.
Black Valkyrie Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 (edited) They look nice but to small for my taste and I`m not in the mood to collect a new MSG category, then I have to buy same figures/kits all over again but any way I`ll stick with HGUC and MSIA-EMSIA. I`m gonna order this kit : Edited June 4, 2005 by Black Valkyrie
Fort Max Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 (edited) Nice pics.Another Galbady gallery: http://pony-hp.web.infoseek.co.jp/MIA-GALBALDY.htm & HCM Pro Nemo gallery: http://pony-hp.web.infoseek.co.jp/HCMP-NEMO.htm I tell ya.....the more I see these HCMPs the more I want them... Don't I know it, I am officially addicted to these things. I have six so far with another two on the way and that Jaburo assult set is simple but oh so sweet, I hope they expand this line in all directions.

Black Valkyrie Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 From Cool Japanese Toys (nothing new in the artical) http://www.figures.com/databases/action.cg...show_article=30
Jolly Rogers Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 is that the new chrome version? Yep Looks more like the cheap spray coating than chrome to my eyes. I doubt Bandai even bothered to redo the mold so the pegs connecting from the frame to the parts is underneath the part instead of on the side of the part, leaving obnoxious, uncoated areas upon assembly... That should have been standard after they made the Hyaku Shiki kit that way.
Black Valkyrie Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 Hmm..... I guess may be Grand Cannon knows/has an idea about it.
Stamen0083 Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 I doubt Bandai even bothered to redo the mold so the pegs connecting from the frame to the parts is underneath the part instead of on the side of the part, leaving obnoxious, uncoated areas upon assembly... Have they EVER bothered to do that with any of their originally non-chrome kits?
Beltane70 Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 Glad to see that the Xi Gundam is out. Too bad it came out at the end of May, after I already left Japan. Thanks to a friend that is going later this month, I'll be getting mine in about 3 weeks or so.
GRAND CANNON Posted June 5, 2005 Author Posted June 5, 2005 Hmm..... I guess may be Grand Cannon knows/has an idea about it. Actually, I don't as I never got too involved with HG kits, sorry ....and Jolly was a great help with my Ltd/Excl MG list, so he would know. zeo --- Nice Pics!! That thing sure is a monster....I mean, c'mon.......it actually has kick-stands!! Fort Max --- Thanks for the HCMP pics!
Black Valkyrie Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 (edited) Zeo`s gonna love this From Guntoa : WCC 20 photo report GFF-Maniax stuck up a photo report of today's World Character Convention 20. Pics include upcoming GFF, Zeonography, and Cosmic Region figures. Further pics, including MSiA, can be seen in Visual Media's talk.toysnews newsgroup. http://f52.aaa.livedoor.jp/~gffm/ http://f52.aaa.livedoor.jp/~gffm/WCC20.html#top http://www.visualmedia.com.hk/cgi-bin/news...st=Latest+Items Edited June 6, 2005 by Black Valkyrie
zeo-mare Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 (edited) i love it. you just went and made this morning great. Freedom Gundam i hope they make a Strike Gundam as well chris Edited June 6, 2005 by zeo-mare
thedarkmarine Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 (edited) From the schematics, that FIX Freedom looks like it can turn into the Stirke Freedom. Note the long skirt on the butt. Edited June 6, 2005 by thedarkmarine
Anubis Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 (edited) I think the Strike Freedom is a separate release. It has a different UPC code and it looks like the Cosmic Region # is different. It looks like 7003, but I thought that was supposed to be the Destiny? That, and the Freedom's base would have reflected if it could become something else, which it doesn't. Edited June 6, 2005 by Anubis
GRAND CANNON Posted June 6, 2005 Author Posted June 6, 2005 You're right. The Strike Freedom will be CR's third release and it was originally reported as being the Destiny.
Fort Max Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 You'd have to swap all of the joints to make it Strike Freedom, I dont think convertable figures is going to be a feature of this line. If it were, they coudl have made the Impulse a must buy by packing with three sets of armour panels and every weapon.
zeo-mare Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 i figured the series was going to be for seed and seed destiny. i wish they would do alittle more for it i would love to have the configurable armor, a Aegis, Justice and Knight gundam would be great as would a nice Zaku Warrior. chris
Jolly Rogers Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 I doubt Bandai even bothered to redo the mold so the pegs connecting from the frame to the parts is underneath the part instead of on the side of the part, leaving obnoxious, uncoated areas upon assembly... Have they EVER bothered to do that with any of their originally non-chrome kits? Dunno, I stopping buying a few years ago as you know. However, given their propensity to release color-coated and crystal variants, you'd think they'd make such molding standard practice once they've developed the molding design to avoid these eyesores.
wolfx Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 Regretable that the shield has to go under the elbow for the Freedom CR. Doesn't allow for some better poses since its tucked under the elbow. Anyway I already got the MG kit...so i won't be getting another Freedom anytime soon. The GM and ver. Ka RX79 looks great though! No gouf pictures yet?
Black Valkyrie Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 Already sale on Cosmic Region Force Impulse Gundam http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN932023
zeo-mare Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 i wonder if it is not selling well? sadly with ems shipping you really are not saving anything on it. chris
Father Jack Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 the picture with the acguys is the best thing I have seen so far today
the white drew carey Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 You know, I've always been a fan of the GMs, I love the grunts!!! The GM version of this GFF makes it much more desireable than the actual Gundam version. Hooray.
zeo-mare Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 (edited) I agree about the GM if only they would make the GM Spartan i would be really happy Studio reckless chris Edited June 9, 2005 by zeo-mare
Black Valkyrie Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Same here the GM`s were more appealing. Crazy it sounds once I had an idea for a VF-1 GM custom kit.
