#0044, Full Armor Unicorn Gundam, Part I

When I saw this on eBay I had to have it. The price tag however kept me away for a short while. When it was on sale at 25% off, then I jumped in and got it - Gundam Fix Figuration #0044 Full Armor Unicorn.

Now this was done with green instead of the regular red coloring. That aside, this was a very nice addition to the collection. It sucks that I can build them, but then have to tear them down as we are packing stuff up. I did run into an issue putting this together which I will get to later.

Here is the the outside and inside guts of this little baby. That alone was enough for me to get this unit.

You get plenty of accessories so you can really get creative with how you want this to look. Here are the inside guts. What I really liked was the fact you didn't have those damn ties anymore. You have a plastic shell over the parts - thank the Gods for that. I swear it always took 1/2 a day just to take all them out.

You get 2 sheets of instructions as it seem that they made a slight mistake in the photos on some of the building.

Of course since this is a Destroy Mode version of the Unicorn Gundam, the horn is opened up as seen below.

Enough of this simple stuff and get to the actual figure build. Now there was a really cool thing that this guy has on himself without adding the stuff (well you will need a beam for the swords). I have 3 shots showing the forearm being opened up to review a beam sword. They really did go all out on the decals and armor ans a large amount of it was extremely flexible.

Lets take a look at the other deadly armaments this unit comes with as well. You have your Beam Rifle, a couple small Guns (not shown), a couple Beam Cannons as well. Not to mention the numerous Gatling Guns and Shields. This has so much stuff, you can go up against a full regiment and still have left overs for a warship.

btw: those damn beam swords kept falling off his backpack
while I was assembling - over and over and over again

Now I did end up breaking a part (+_+). They make these so damn fragile sometimes. You have to 'snap' these onto an forearm and it kept slipping. Finally one of the joints snapped and I had to take a break. Super Glue to the rescue - yea.

Above you are seeing the back of the Shield with the Gatling guns which you get 3 sets of. Two are stationary and cannot be move, while one set needs to be put together. Below you see the shields and how you can see one is solid while the other one can be closed and opened up. The two that are open are used for the arms while the adjustable set is used on the back pack.

Come back next week for the BIG conclusion and the figure in all its glory.

Lynn Minmie, a Vintage Figure from Robotech

DC wanted to share this with all you Robotech fans.

Was changing around things on my walls.

There was a Old ROBOTECH "Lynn Minmei" doll. 1983. Hung in the BOX, and in fair condition. Tell of family first REAL Japanese Anime come to us. Ex-wife went out and buying ROBOTECH figures/Mechs, and this doll was Jewel in the ROBOTECH family crown.

Doll stored until came back to me, and box repaired and mounted on my wall.

We are hoping to see her out of the box, but for now, this is what we have for you.


Not sure I would of had this in my collection back in the day, but I would sure be happy to have it now. I bet Barbie is shaking in her shoes now that we have a real singer in our mist.

San Diego Comic-Con 2008 Gundam Fix Figuration

Seems that eBay is my new stomping grounds for Gundam Fix Figurations. I have been dropping a few dollars there, but have 8 new ones. For you viewing pleasure today is a unique one however.

At the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con International, there was a Limited Edition Gundam Fix Figuration. From what I know, it was limited to 1000 pieces. It was a RX-78-2 Gundam "Ver.Ka". It was in a small box and made with a clear blue plastic. Everything in this set was done like that including the stand.

I was extremely excited to get this one. I was very much looking forward to playing with the lighting to see what I could get. They spared no details on this as it is a fully functional Gundam. I was surprised that they even had extra laser handles in the shield.

I had an issue where the arms kept coming off. It was annoying at times, but was able to get them to work. I have to say, some of the shots didn't come out as I had hoped. You got your normal accessories with this. It included a Shield, Beam Rifle, Light Sabres, 5 Hands and the base.

Clear model and lighting was not in my forte of stuff I had experience with. I tried to do the light from underneath and it was 'ok'.

Still, here are more shots that I hope you will enjoy.

I had fun with the shadows as well since I had a strong spotlight.

I was able to build and do a photo shoot with the Gundam Fix Figuration 0014 ~ Ex-S Gundam [Task Force alpha]. I hope to have those up next week.

How many of the Gundam Fix Figurations do you own?

Weekend Shenanigans

It was nice not driving around on Saturday House Hunting. Was able to watch some morning cartoons and relax a bit. I had to drop off a package to be shipped to Australia, but was back in time for Bakugan.

I finally got the wife out of the house later in the day and we drove around shopping. I wanted to stop at an Antique store and check it out. I was quite surprised to see Sailor Moon items. WTF were these doing in a antique store??? I know that they are an older series, but in an antique store?

They had some old VHS tapes, Manga and Card sets. What really took me by surprise was some bathroom items. I looked close and saw a Sailor Mercury hair brush and 2 Sailor Mars toothbrushes. Not sure I would use them myself, but still nice for a collector.

Just then I looked up and saw 2 Sakura Cardcaptors dolls.Both were the same doll, just different packaging from what I could tell. They were $12.95 each and to me was not a bad price for the condition. Still though, not for me.

Rest of the day was more shopping. We stopped by Wonder Books and I got 2 Manga books - Jing: King of Bandits, vol 6 & 7. I wanted to get more as they had a sale that if you bought one, you got one free on Graphic Novel and Comic books. Since this is a second hand shop, there was not much around to buy that peaked my interest. I was able to get both these for a little over $6.00.


I have been wanting to get a new figure for the longest time. I keep adding stuff to my shopping cart at Wal-Mart and then put it back. This time however, I was determined to get something. I finally got a Transformer to satisfy my cravings called Terradive. I have a love of planes and I really liked the design of this one. One I saw it had a trident as a weapon, I was sold. I hope to have a posting up soon of it un-packaged and transformed.


Anything exiting this weekend for you?
