Spatula Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 (edited) I personally think Gundam Fix Figurations are excellent "model-toy" collector items. I have 4 of them and won't stop collecting any time soon. I'm seriously hunting for the 0017 A or B, and 0009 Nu. I actually plan to get ALL of them...someday...someday. GFF's I have so far: 0011 - Ex-s MSA Gundam - the first one I got in 2003 in AsoBit City - Akihabara, Tokyo. (AsoBit City, probably what I consider mecha heaven is closed as of April 2004 due to some safety hazards. It's been broken down to smaller units owned by LAOX, just in case you're wondering) __________________________________________________________ 0013 - Deep Striker ( god this was a pain in the @$$ to fit in overhead compartment, no way I'm checking this thing in the airplane from NYC to my home) __________________________________________________________ 0022 - 010-FAZZ - Found this in a local anime shop and snatched it. __________________________________________________________ 0026 - RX-78-2 - Production Type - Found this in same anime shop as the 0013 in NYC. __________________________________________________________ As well, some of the cosmic region ones have caught my eye from the Gundam SEED series.

Father Jack Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 yeah I never liked katoki's version either if ever we get a turn a fix I hope it wont be based off of that design.
Anubis Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 HLJ has the Nu Gundam and the 0017-b Red Zeta+ in stock. Nu Gundam Zeta+ Red
Spatula Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 HLJ has the Nu Gundam and the 0017-b Red Zeta+ in stock.Nu Gundam Zeta+ Red 336896[/snapback] I usually only get stuff from HLJ if I definately cannot get it any other way. I've seen a couple at anime conventions so whenever possible, I prefer to buy it on the spot and save on shipping costs rather than paying A LOT through EMS shipping. Stuff like the Valkyrie Weapons Set and the Photoetch are somewhat hard to come by in my area, so those I order online.
GRAND CANNON Posted October 15, 2005 Author Posted October 15, 2005 Thanks to Cybergundam for posting a pic of your new GFF: Just a few changes and a new paintjob and we get our RX-79G and 08th MS Team friends.
Dampiel Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 Just a few changes and a new paintjob and we get our RX-79G and 08th MS Team friends. 336960[/snapback] Also they could give us Blue Destiny Unit 3
armentage Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 (edited) Where can we see this awful inteprettation? Katoki's my favorite overall Gundam designer but the Turn-A is one of my absolute favorite Gundams... surprised to hear that they don't go well together! 336807[/snapback] Jesus christ that's awful. He totally missed the aesthetic point! Edited October 15, 2005 by armentage
Anubis Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 (edited) The Blue Destiny looks good. Real good. THe GM ground/-79G would look great from this example. If we're lucky they'll do a GM Sniper/EZ-8 as well. Edited October 15, 2005 by Anubis

zeo-mare Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 hmmm the Blue Destiny looks a little different then I was figuring, unit 2 should have red shoulders if I recall. they are still nice and I will definetly grab them up.

Black Valkyrie Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) Now thats a Gundam should be, not like the flamboyant Gundam Seeds ! Edited October 16, 2005 by Black Valkyrie
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) Now thats a Gundam should be, not like the flamboyant Gundam Seeds ! 337112[/snapback] but unit 1 is a GM...isn't it? dammit bandai...just make some BD MG kits already!!! Edited October 16, 2005 by Dat Pinche Haro!
Black Valkyrie Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Then why they called a Gundam ! http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/bluedestiny/rx-79bd-1.htm
wolfx Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 As the One Year War continued in UC 0079, the idea of Newtypes became widespread. Some feared Newtypes, including Zeon scientist Chlust Morses, who believed that Newtypes would eventually dominate Oldtypes. He put all of his hatred of Newtypes into the EXAM combat system, along with the soul of Newtype Marion Welch. The EXAM system allowed for incredible performance, but it was extremely unstable. Since it was controlled by the tormented soul of Marion, it would sometimes go out of control and attack allies, or refuse to move. After developing the EXAM system for use in the MS-08TX(EXAM) Efreet Custom, Morses defected to the Federation and gave them the EXAM system. The Federation Forces would use the EXAM in 3 units: the RX-79BD-1, RX-79BD-2 and RX-79BD-3. The hell....is this Gundam or is this EVA? 0.o UC gundam had technology to capture "souls" ?
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 Then why they called a Gundam ! http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/bluedestiny/rx-79bd-1.htm 337134[/snapback] I see a GM attatched to that unit's name...not Gundam altho, why even give it a Gundam's designation # if it's not a Gundam?
F360° Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 yup,, the code for unit one is: Code name: GM Blue Destiny Unit 1
zeo-mare Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 (edited) yup,, the code for unit one is:Code name: GM Blue Destiny Unit 1 337175[/snapback] I have always veiwed the GM's as non Gundams because they are the grunts, and the term Gundam was used for the more powerful prototypes and customs which highlight the series. but to be honest isnt the word GM short for Gundam Massproduced to show that they are the lesser mass production models instead of their more suped up brothers. if that is the case then all of the GMs are Gundams by design as well, just lesser versions and the term is still acceptable. chris Edited October 17, 2005 by zeo-mare
aaajin Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 (edited) here's a shot of the s-freedom hcm pro..it does look sleek than the ones pictured in the preorders got it here : S-Freedom HCM pro Edited October 17, 2005 by aaajin
zeo-mare Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 i am so picking this figure up, i hope the chest piece and shoulder pads stay on. i have the RX-78 and the chest peice falls off alot.
Valk-1S Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) New pics of the CR Strike Freedom. Looking good. But still with the shorter wings like the CF Freedom. Thanks to Mecha Master from SGCollect. Edited October 19, 2005 by Valk-1S
wolfx Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Nice. But is it me but is the CR line very bad with their paint jobs?
Valk-1S Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I never own any FIX before so I am not sure how they compare to it. But the CR Impulse was pretty bad on mine. The Freedom was better.
zeo-mare Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 thankfully both of my CR were good i guess some are a hit and miss when they are coming off the assembly line. the Impulse alot of people had problems with the freedom was better maybe this one will be the same. I wish the wings were a little bit longer but it still looks nice. i got the Zeta Gundam box set coming in today. i will take pictures later on. chris
wolfx Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 My impulse's feet keep falling off. Parts fitting for the impulse was very bad.
zeo-mare Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 (edited) My impulse's feet keep falling off. Parts fitting for the impulse was very bad. 338615[/snapback] i have not played with it lately and forgot about that , one foot on mine comes off easy, and the backpack does not stay on well but i found a easy way to fix that on mine. i find the simply not useing the little plane (the one that goes between the back pack and the impulse main body) allows the flight pak to stay on better, I simply posed the little jet along side the others I have. chris Edited October 21, 2005 by zeo-mare
zeo-mare Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 Here is my Zeta Box set, it came in yesterday and it is very nice, even though you only get the 3 basic figures without all of the extras it is still a great set. the box is completly clear plastic and can be opened very easily without damaging it (it is not sealed or anything there is simply a flap on it. the figures really do not look chrome (only in a few places) it seems like they just gave it a glossy clear coat over the figure, it is most noticeable on the MK II which is now a glossy white color instead of light grey, the Shiki looks about normal and the zeta looks decent as well. the only new thing is on the left lower leg on all 3 figures is a AEUG symbol which was not present on the original figures. I wish it came with a book or something to comemorate the Z Gundam Movie. The original Gundam Box set was much nicer then this one I wish they would do another one of those. Hopefully this upcoming week I will have the Gouf / Effret Zeonography as well as the HCM-PRO Green Zaku and the Destiny Gundam coming in. I cannot wait. Chris
hevangel2 Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 Hi Zeo-mare, I got a question, the the Z Gundam in the Zeta Box set transform?
zeo-mare Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Hi Zeo-mare,I got a question, the the Z Gundam in the Zeta Box set transform? 338864[/snapback] hi yes it can still transform, all 3 figures also come with their display stands so you can pose them, the Zeta does not however come with its hyper Mega launcher gun
aaajin Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 here';s more pics of the hcm pro s-freedom..when'll mine arrive?? s-freedom HCM pro

zeo-mare Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 very very nice, the guncannon is looking great. I am so picking up all of these. chris
the white drew carey Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Any pics of what the RX77-D version will look like? That's my favorite GunCannon version.
zeo-mare Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) Any pics of what the RX77-D version will look like? That's my favorite GunCannon version. 339683[/snapback] none yet but i have a feeling it will look like the line art that they showed in the pic right near the Fix Guncannon. chris Edited October 26, 2005 by zeo-mare
