Sleggar' RGM-79 GM - Gundam Fix Figuration (Metal Composite)

The MS piloted by Sleggar Law in the series Mobile Suit Gundam - Cucuruz Doan’s Island. RGM-79 GM(Sleggar)… Gundam Fix Figuration(Metal Composite) is definitely a solid toy. Love by any GM fans including myself… Thank you Stanley for preordering for me on Premium Bandai website. Cool looking GM but pretty useless in the movie, crashing and with its head tossed after a short appearance. Typical fate of a GM...

Macross Frontier RVF-25 Messiah Luca Custom Chogokin (Flight Mode)

To be honest, the pricing of recent chogokin toy related to Macross Frontier had been steep and those so called refined 2nd edition and same valkyrie mold with anniversary prints are driving me nuts. Just could not continue and pace with my latest procurement only at VF-171 Nightmare Plus. Frankly, I could hardly call this a review but more of blogging on the humble collection of the first edition, 1/60 Macross Frontier RVF-25 Messiah Luca Custom Chogokin, with pics of the valkyrie in fighter mode. RVF-25 as the 'R' suggested, as a variable fighter for Reconnaissance. It's a property of S.M.S (Strategic Military Services) assigned to Luca Angelloni of Skull squad. Modification of this custom VF-25 would be the radar disk mounted on top of the messiah and the antenna that could be flipped down. The radar disk could also be rotated and extended for broadening. The head design of the RVF-25 was unique to the rest as the head looked insect and with the overall green colour scheme, the mecha took on the image of a grasshopper. As for the gimmicks, the cockpit could be opened, showing the miniature Luca pilot and the set came with super messiah parts which are attachments.

GFF Psycho Gundam MK-II Metal Composite

A recap post dated 8th September 2008 on the GFF Psycho Gundam MK-II Metal Composite. Launched  during time when GFF metal composite in 1/100 scale just took flight before its huge success now with Exia Gundam, next in line. 4 years had passed and here's how it look after I had put it on display inside my cabinet. Surprised and impressed that the toy still maintained in mint condition without metal oxidation and colour fading. Still proudly standing at a height above 12" with detailed paint works all over. Needless to mention the massive size and weight contributed by steel, provided a delighting feel on the my hands.

The reason for this recap was mainly for archiving as I had sold this toy to a fellow blogger and collector friend as he needed this to complete his GFF metal composite toyline and as for me, I could have the extra money for other new toys and cleared some space of storage. The toy was fully transformable to flight mode but I didn't do it when taking pics because it seems complicated and the instruction in japanese, even with pics and arrows signs, still is rather difficult for me to understand. Another reason would be I didn't want to loosen those tight joints or scratch the paint before transferring the ownership.

GFF Psycho Gundam MK-II Metal Composite has cool gimmicks as well with those interchangeable hands that enables illustration of different poses such as cable connection psycommu fists. Other addition items included the shield, reactor bits and display stand. This GFF is kind of epic now with the price at new heights. The released price was fairly reasonable for such a massive toy with metal component 4 years back and since I'm selling to a friend, there was no profit made.

Chogokin 1/144 scale Hyaku Shiki

This is a repost article of what I had done when this blog just started. It was only recently before I sold it off, I felt a strong attachment to it and this strong sentiment pushes me to retake pics of the toy and all the accessories that came with it. The reason for selling was that after years of display in my cabinet, the chrome on the toy had oxidized, with noticeable black patches you see in some of the pics at close-up. 

This chogokin of Hyaku Shiki MSN-00100 was scale at 1/144, with amazing accessories from basic beam weapons to Mega Bazooka Launcher. An awesome and huge armament that exceeded the height of its MS operator. Just one shot from this Mega Bazooka Launcher could sink a space cruiser. This is what I call solid firepower!

The beam rifle and Clay Bazooka can be attached to the backpack. Hyaku Shiki also has its unique coloured yellow beam saber. The articulation of this toy is top-notch, posing at different poses and even kneeing stances could be done at ease. 

The pilot is Lt Quattro Bajeena (Char Aznable disguise). Char or Quattro may not have powerful new-type abilities, but he is formidable when it comes to piloting skills and of course his wits on playing with politics.
