LED that switch between glowing green in normal mode and red to simulate the unit's EXAM system (Berserk mode). The lights even influenced the verniers on the backpack.
Comes with a tons of accessories such as optional hands, machine gun, beam rifle, shield, unique spray gun, bazooka, beam sabers, taser probes and awesome printed stand base for aerial pose.
Salute to third party toy maker FunHobby with 1/100 scale BD01 RX-79BD-1 Blue Destiny Gundam Metal Build. For the first time, this under appreciated enhanced GM unit is given a standard equivalent to Bandai's Metal Build style, alloy skeleton frame presented in complete model with die-cast and ABS. In the past, I have to go through the pain and sweat to build my own custom kit using resin parts. Not to mention having to spray and hand-paint it.
I have so rejoiced when I received this toy. The only issue is with the box, such a pity that the box came pretty battered which is common when parcel is shipped from China. Fortunately, the styrofoam insert protected the toy in its excellent condition.

It stands sturdily at 7"(18cm) and poses pretty well. The joints are impressively tight and provided a firm grip. Personally, I'm impressed by the neat paint job and details on the toy. Just look at all those fine prints all over the toy. From a Gunpla builder point of view, these precise prints would surely save a hell lot of time applying decals.
What really WOW me is the gimmick packed in this simple GM Head which contains LED that switch between glowing green in normal mode and red to simulate the unit's EXAM system (Berserk mode). The lights even influenced the verniers on the backpack. Built-in rechargeable lithium battery (can be charged with USB cable). The accessory and weapon selection is great and the LED system works just fine for me and is a really nice touch. Since this is UNIT-01 of the Gundam Blue Destiny Unit from the series, I hope that Funhobby has plans to come out with UNIT-02 and UNIT-03 in order to complete the team!

I am a sucker for Diecast Toys nowadays and certainly Third Party had come a long way.
Given enough time they could come up with something that surpass Bandai's if the latter didn't step up their game.
There is this particular Lupus Rex conversion Metal Build that look quite good too
You are so right pal. Fan projects sure are chasing up and their product at times really make my dream come true just like this Blue Destiny!
Looking at the figure, the quality is very good indeed..
Yeah bro, indeed a very solid toy. Glad I have it.
