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.

Package #001

HGMC Hi-Nu (left) and NG Gale Strike (Right)

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.
