from the looks of it, the materials used on this one seems to be the same kind used in the robot damashii series - resulting to better QC.

i think its mostly because of the increasing cost of materials for a line that has low tolerance QC issues that made bandai decide to divert to a new kind of line which is the robot damashii. i've noticed that most of the last few MSiAs had higher costs (thrones & 00 1st season units) yet still ...

cosmic region: - torso tends to be somewhat thin thats common to most of its units (freedom, sfreedom, akatsuki, ijustice). - the pegs for the arms are too short resulting to popping off if you pose it around. - fairly limited articulation. robot damashii: - really good in terms of posability and fe...

just watched it.

pretty brutal action (physical-wise) on bond's part like casino royale. still its pretty much a disappointment without the gadgets too.

and i just noticed - did bond ever screw the main girl? if not, then this is a first.

just displayed my psyco mk.2 and transformed my psyco back to ms mode. the diecast contents are generally located at the pelvic joints and knees. as for the zplus series, its just annoying because i already had two two of the "1/144" zplus units - one is WR C1 and another in hummingbird mo...

im having the same dilemma. i kinda like the RD due to its size and simplicity but the hcmpro's detailing (especially the upcoming o-riser set) is pretty tempting to own.

i have the 009 and 010 units. they're pretty massive and hefty but in terms of "metal content", i cant seem to feel it. they're pretty good in detail and posability. as for QC issues, usually there's no issue except for the antenna which is sometimes bent not straight but thats because its...

also take note that due to the size of the PG, they're a lot more prone to sagging due to the weight of each limb if you like to repose/play around with it.

i agree with sushicake. dont give a GFF to a kid unless you want to see it broken in less than a day. despite being an action figure, they're more of high-end display ones. some parts are like model kits in which if not handled carefully will break (zz's head antenna, GX's elbows and knee joints). g...

finally got to watch it. 1. ledger's portrayal is absolutely magnificent. 2. the plot has its twists and turns. you'd expect one part to end but it is already the beginning of another. 3. its not just your regular "here-i-come-to-save-the-day" superhero movie. it also has a lot of argument...

i think thats the good and bad thing about sci-fi - it takes place in the future wherein its possible but when you try or attempt to "translate" it to reality, its practically impossible (for the moment that is, due to the rate of technology). side note: are you an engineer or something, m...

hmmm.

i go nuts over core fighters and the GFF series.

last christmas i got a fixation to build a GX-bit army... good thing the shop that was selling it on clearance got no more stocks... ended up with 2 of them which i had one built as a "divider bit" type.
