Robot Damashii Union Flag Custom II (GN Flag)

I fell in love with this mobile suit as soon as it appeared in the season finale of Gundam 00. It was such a bittersweet emergence, though, because it only appeared for less than five minutes. Nevertheless, it was definitely captivating.

This mobile suit is gorgeous. Unlike other grunt suits, it's very sleek and anorexic, which is something that you don't usually see in other Gundam universes. It looks menacing when you put on the open face-mask.

Compared to HG 1:144 Overflag, GN Flag stands a little bit shorter. It's kind of unfortunate, but at least it's not 1:200 short.

Accessories: Pulse rifle, beam saber, GN cable, GN Tau, two open fists, two closed arms, and an open face-mask.

The articulation of this action figure is outstanding. I have to say that it's almost human-like. So, you're always tempted to change the pose of this action figure when displaying it. Although unnecessary, the accessories are great bonuses. Honestly, there really is nothing to complain about this action figure. If you have Tamashii Stage Act, you can definitely pose this action figure in dynamic mid-air poses.

If you love Graham, buy it. If you love Flag derivatives, buy it. I really can't stress enough how much I recommend getting this action figure. Unfortunately, it has become a rarity. Most sellers will sell this action figure around $100, excluding shipping. However, stick around eBay long enough and you will find one that is less than $50. I was lucky enough to find an online hobby store that sells this action figure for $30.

Overall: 9/10

"Indeed, we were destined to fight each other! It was your display of your overwhelming power that stole my heart! This feeling I have, it can only be called love!" Geez. Graham, you're such a romanticist.

Package #003

The boxes look amazing. You can see how exclusive these action figures are. I really like the EMSIA Freedom Gundam because of the widths of the wingspan. Articulations are also amazing. Justice Gundam was a giveaway. I didn't intend on buying it, but someone from eBay sold it together with Freedom. Both action figures came out to be less than $50. So, why not?

Again, back to my finals. "orz

Package #002

It's been months and they're here! Revoltech Arch Gurren Lagann, Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann, and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Finally, Figma archetype: he. This thing is so rare, I'm glad I got it for less than $60 on eBay.

Well, back to my finals now.

GFF Wing Gundam ver.Ka

I really love Katoki's re-design of Wing Gundam. Basically, it is Wing Zero Custom without the angel wings. The color scheme is very vibrant, something that you don't always see in lead Gundams.

Accessories: a shield, a beam saber, a buster rifle, two rifle packs, and three manipulators.

I prefer 1:144 scale figures, so I bought the Gundam Fix Figuration version because there is only master grade version of this mobile suit. I paid way more than I should have been paying. I don't regret it, though.

The quality of this figure is outstanding. The plastic is very sturdy, although it seems to be very fragile for articulations. Besides, GFF figures are not made to be played around, anyway.

Although there are few paint bleeds and molding errors, this figure comes across looking very detailed and realistic. Decals appear almost everywhere in the body. I really appreciate this because this figure doesn't look like a toy.

Articulations are very stiff, but they are as good as HG model kits. Buster rifle guard is very loose. It doesn't want to stay in one place and flaps around all the time. Wings are very stiff. This is great because it would stay up no matter what kind of pose you're trying to do.

I was actually surprised that this figure is able to stand on its feet. The back is very heavy because of the large and long wings. You need to adjust the position of the feet right, though.

Unfortunately, you can't attach this figure to any action base. There aren't an openings for it. So, you would need Tamashii Stage Act to pose this figure in mid-air. 

I really recommend this figure. This GFF figure is an extra item that is comparable to its master grade brother. However, this figure is for display only. So, if you like to play around with your figures, I suggest you avoid buying this.

Overall: 8.7/10

Of course, you just have to pose this figure this way.

These two model kits just arrived a few days ago. My parents are coming to visit me here in the States by the end of this month. So, I'm trying to clean up some of the unbuilt model kits lying around my room. It was 8 hours straight of gunpla building.

I have to say that I had fun building these two kits. There was not any second that I was not impressed while building them. By the end of the building process, I was just amazed with the way they look. I haven't decaled, stickered, nor panel-lined them. However, they already look amazing on my shelf.

I have more model kits coming up. Hopefully,  I have the time to build them in the midst of finals. Sigh.

Comics section is moved!

I realize that I really can't mix gunplas and comics. They are different things from different realms, afterall. Duh. So, I have decided to remove the comic section to here.
