Gundam FIX FIGURATION #0034: GP03S
Gundam FIX FIGURATION #0034: GP03S
Manufacturer | Bandai |
Availability: | on order |
Unit Number: | PMD-MIA-0207 |
Release date: | March, 2007 |
Item Code: | gs007 |
Price: | $60.00 USD |
Description: | The Pegasus class warship use in 0080: War in the Pocket. The model is on 1/3500 scale and is about 85 mm long. Although it is the same class as the White Base but is appearance look different. Gray phantom is a experimental ship that run tests to se if it suitable for operation. After that many Pegasus class warships construct using this as model. Model's stand is included. Require cement to assemble and paints to color to model. Item still in development state, so there may be changes before release date. |
Review:
For many Gundam fans Gundam FIX FIGURATION is the keyword for perfect (Not in comparison eith HG, MG and PG grade pramodel because they are in different category.). FIX figures are highly detailed, from the shape of the MS to small things such as unit number or symbol show on the MS. Many times the price of a FIX cost more tha a HG grade model, and sometimes a MG model.
Some of the models release on FIX are unique because they never release on other grade. An example of it will be Zeta II. The price of Zeta II was about $380 HKD in Sept. 2007 and an average HG grade pramodel is about $110-150 HKD.
GP03S is the newest MS that add to the collection. The letter "S" stand for Stamen so sometimes GP03S also call Gundam ."Dendrobium Stamen" The MS is lightly armed and can "insert" into the huge armor called "Dendrobium Orchis", the wing binders on the sides of the GP03S both increased the maneuverability of the unit.

Shining Armor: Akatsuki
MS In Action: Akatsuki (Owashi Unit Pack)
Manufacturer | Bandai |
Item number: | PMD-MIA-0206 |
Availability: | on order |
Release date: | March, 2007 (TBA) |
MS unit number: | ORB-01 |
Price: | 20.00 USD |
Description: | The mobile suit from Gundam Seed Destiny. Model already color finished and partial assembled. Its wing can extends to the way it shows in the image above. Weapons included. Weapon and stat: Type 73J2 prototype beam saber x 2 (Owashi Pack): Legs and arms can moved around. |
Review:
In Japanese, Akatsuki means dawn. The color of the MS Akatsuki from Gundam Seed Destiny does intrepret this idea clearly. Shiny Golden color make you think of the scene when the sun raise from horizon.
Akatsuki is an MS created by Orb in secret, and what make it special is the "Yata-no-Kagami" anti-beam defensive reflection system, which it can reflect all kinds of laser beams. The Owashi pack gives the MS the ability to fly faster and with 2 beam cannons.
Ideally, Akatsuki is good for both hand to hand combat and long range shooting, and as a big beam reflector that can protect others during operation.
This MS In Action gives you all these weapons like beam saber and rifle, plus the model's structure let you do poses like sword swinging or leg kicking. Assembles to model is very easy and it should be done within 5 minutes.
My personal comment:
For some reason I think Akatsuki look better than Destiny Gundam. And I think buying this worth the money.

HCM Pro #36: Qubeley Review
Manufacturer | Bandai |
Availability: | on order |
Release date: | Feb, 2007 (TBA) |
Price: | 20.00 USD |
Description: | The mobile suit from ZZ Gundam. It's shoulder can folded up to covers the arms weapon stat: Model already assembled and colored. Preorder your copy now. |
Review:
The first time I know about Qubeley was from playing a Playstation game called Super Robot Wa Alpha. My impression to this MS was it is so powerful with very few weapon (lightsaber, palm gun and funnel.)
HCM-Pro series added Qubeley into its collection. This pearl white MS was ready for some high speed action. The model's wing can fold down to cover the arms, increased its flying ability in space. The model already assembled and colored finished, so you don't need to spend time putting parts together. All weapons of Qubeley was included with this model.
My pesonal comment:
A model that should add to the Gundam collection

Review:
These frog shape alien surely make a great invasion on toy market. The character cell series alreay released 4 pars and another part is going to come out at the end of this month.
The figure is inside the big head of the character, the figure's pose is directly from scenes from the manga, and all of them are funny. Such as one of the figure is Keroro working on his housework.
Not only the figures are funny, the head that contains them also have many expression, which has a high collecting value.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
My persnal comment:
I think it is good to buy the whole set since it will save time and money to collect them one by one.

New Char's counterattack?
Manufacturer | Bandai |
Availability: | on order |
Release date: | Late Feb, 2007 (TBA) |
Price: | $5.00 USD |
Description: | This set of figures have 5 different kinds of figures, plus one secret figure. Featuring Char in different Gundam series: Char in Gundam 0079 (Zeon's uniform and pilot uniform) Char in Zeta Gundam (normal clothing and pilot uniform) Char in Char's Counter Attack Figure is highly detailed. |
Review:
Many people like anti-hero character. Char is definitely one of the famous one from Anime. Some claim that he has higher popularity than Amuro.
Bandai's haro Collection brings you a collection figures of Char. From 0079's aced pilot to the leader of Neo Zeon in Char's Counterattack, each figure is highly detailed, with expressions and poses that show you the personality of Char. A skillful aced pilot to a powerful leader (I remember someone has told me that Char's speech in Char's counterattack is even better than real life politicans.)
Since the item still in development so you did not see colors on those figures, but by the date it releases in Feb all these figures will be completely colored. A must have for Char's fans and Gundam fans.
The item is going to release in Feb, 2007.
My personal comment:
I think the figure looks very good, but the one that has the most collection value should be the one that shows Char as the Neo Zeon's leader. Somehow it resembles some army general
