Since when have I started collecting Gundam Fix Figuration box sets?
It is definitely the #0029 God & Nobell that captivated me. Though initially the GFF that caught my eye was the EX-S Deep Striker, the price tag put me off. Furthermore, reports of warping of the rifle is another minus point. Careful examination of the Deep Striker made me realise that it is a booster unit, meaning its an S-Gundam with no feet, but 4 instead of 2 booster units. For certain reasons, I get really turned off by the Booster Unit Ex-S. However, with all the 'barang-barang' weapons, it sure made the Deep Striker look better.
From the #0029, I sunk deeper into the addiction and got myself the #0010 and #0023.
Is it gonna end here?
I saw NEVER!
GFF figurines are made from PVC and, despite being able to articulate, it feels very rubbery. The material is what is used to make capsule toys or gashaphons. The first touch of the figurine, gives your fingers a waxy feel. Maintenance of PVC toys is alos important, avoid dust collection and make sure to change poses regularly to prevent hardening and fixing of the PVC. Though the figurines are mass-produced in China, but the modelling is hand-painted, thus explaining the variation in some painting and panel-lining, eg. bleeding. Every set comes with a photocopied instruction sheet that guides the owner on how various customizations can be achieved. GFFs also comes with various customization parts to mod into cool variations of the MS.

#0010 RX-78GP04 Gerbera
The Gerbera is one of the 0083 series RX-78GP custom unit that never made it a HGUC or MG kit. Hence, the only way to own it is to get this! Another 'Buy-Factor' is the possibility of customizing the Gerbera unit into the Gerbera-Tetra Custom. The Gerbera-Tetra appear in a 0083 kit, but will never look as good as this Ka's custom.

#0023 MSN-00100 Hyaku-Shiki (MSR-00100S Hyaku-Shiki KAI)
Despite already having the MG Hyaku-Shiki and the HGUC Hyaku Shiki (from Gyphios War Set), this excellent GFF is definitely a must-get. The main reason being the many customizations that can be made to the Hyaku-Shiki into the various modes of Hyaku-Shiki Kai.

#0029 God Gundam & Nobell Gundam
I never managed to land myself with a MG Neo-Japan Fighter aka God Gundam, hence this 1/144 version will fit into my collection of MS. As we already know that all Katoki Hajime GFF box set will definitely have some sort of add-on parts for customization, but not this set. This set comes with another MS, Nobell Gundam, the female counterpart of God Gundam in G Gundam series. If I am not wrong, the Nobell Gundam never made it to any Gunpla kit.
