Don’t know Gundam Alex? Don’t know Chobham Armor?
I haven’t seen the series itself. The first time I encountered Chobham Armor was when I was still trying to play Super Robot Wars which has that armor as one of the items that you can equip onto your units. So just look at the image above, sexify it with Katoki greatness and you’ll know how the product is going to look like. Although judging by the design of the arms, I think the image above is the Katoki sketch already. Heh!

More updates on the upcoming Metal Composite Psycho Gundam Mk. II from the Gundam Fix Figuration line. Chil says it’s ugly. I find it ugly too. But I still want to own one for the sake of owning one. It’s too purple for my tastes and the face isn’t as menacing as the black mug of the first Psycho Gundam.
In the latest Dengeki Hobby Mag, they showed a prototype that has each transforming part color-coded. Makes it uglier than it already is but it’s an interesting image set.


There’s not much difference in the transformation compared to the Mk. I and there seems to be no easier way of transforming this one. But damn do I want one!

Got some merchandise pics from links which I found in Gunota Headlines. A couple of them are old stuff from 2007 which I never found time to write about and one is from this year.

Let’s start with the Zeonography (Perfect) Zeong. For those who aren’t familiar with this mobile suit, it’s probably the largest that Char ever piloted and also probably the most annoying to eliminate in a battle. I’ve come to believe that the Zeong was built to annoy people in the battlefield. This thing can fly without legs, can have its legs put on and get blown off during a battle and still be able to fly. It has wire-guided arms with beam cannons at the tips of its fingers. And when you do succeed to blow off its torso, the head can still come at you and massacre your mobile suit with you included. It also has a large sword mounted on its hip that Char can use to lop off your head, or your torso, or you…

Next up is Bandai’s latest MG release: it’s the Black Tristars High Mobility Zaku. White hips, mix of navy blue and purplse color scheme, tons o boosters and a fatter bazooka. I’d buy one, actually. This is one nice addition to my teensie Zaku collection comprised of…one Zaku II ver. 2.0.

Another interesting release is this special edition Gundam Fix Figuration FA Gundam. The original color scheme for the FA Gundam was green with orange highlights. This one comes in blue with orange highlights. Don’t know how limited this release is but it sure would be nice to be standing on my office desk.

Last but definitely not the least is Bandai’s latest action figure line 00 Region starting with the Gundam Exia from the Gundam 00 series. It comes with oodles of melee weapons and the posability definitely looks promising. I wonder if you can use the Astraea conversion parts on this one or if they’ll release this with Astraea conversion armor.
I’m still waiting to get my MG Unicorns and start building them. Can’t waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait~!
