Gundam Fix Figuration: AUGUST & SEPTEMBER

GUNDAM FIX FIGURATION METAL COMPOSITE #1002 PSYCHO GUNDAMUnlike the earlier GFF Metal Composite #1001 RX78-2 which is the first GFF to be made in 1/100 scale (the scale of Master Grade model kits), the GFF Metal Composite #1002 Psycho Gundam is only 1/144. The GFF Metal Composite #1002 Psycho Gundam is not the 2nd Metal composite to be released. There is actually another GFF METAL COMPOSITE LIMITED #1001 RX78-3, which is exactly the same build as earlier with G-Fighter, except the colour scheme adopts the G3 style. but Though it came about as quite a disappointment since I was expecting to start a 1/100 GFF collection, but the thought of a 1/100 Psycho Gundam is simple insane, not to mention the price tag. In the Zeta Gundam animation, the height comparison of the Psycho Gundam to the RX-178 is approximately 2:1! Having the Psycho Gundam in 1/100 scale will mean it will be around 41cm tall, making its display an issue. Hence, the GFF Metal Composite #1002 Psycho Gundam is expected to stand at around 30cm in height! I will have to settle with that! Like the earlier, I swear by my own blood that the GFF Metal Composite is a 'Premium Collector's Series' where Disappointment is Impossible.

GUNDAM FIX FIGURATION #0035 SHIN-MUSHA GUNDAMI have earlier mentioned about the lastest GFF being the Shin-Musha Gundam, who made its first appearance in the Playstation 3 Gundam Musou ( ガンダム無双) console game. Gundam has long been modelled after feudal Japanese warriors in SD (Super-Deformed) style as Musha (武者) Gundam units in comics and model kits. This is also the first time Katoki Hajime worked on a Musha Gundam in the GFF line-up.
No technical specification for this model is available as yet.

OTHER UPDATEs:
Though I have put a full-stop to my collection of Gundam model kits due to my hundred over backlog and lack of time to do them up, that does not stop me from getting tempted to get the upcoming MG Destiny Gundam.
