Same release date for 1/100 O Raizer - 1,680 Yen (inclusive of tax)

GFF M.C.#1005 Z Plus [Red] & SDX Knight Gundam

^Very awesome pictures taken on this beautiful yet epic giant Gundam. The details are suprerior and surpassed many older GFF.M.C gundam? It's going to be a big hit putting side by side with an EX-S... I guess so... ^^;

This GUNDAM FIX FIGURATION METAL COMPOSITE #1005 Zplus[RED] is going to be one of the most popular G.F.F.M.C. Gundam ever produce to me. Although there are no action pose for this kit provided yet but i guess the articulation should be comparable to the MG kit.

^The proportion is sure tempting to all giant-type Gundam fans ^^




^The details for the Zeta itself is fantastic too.

^The size is surely equivalent to HGUC EX-S.

^Plane mode. All I can say is... AWESOME!! ^^

This toy is not going to be cheap to own. It's still in prototype form so there might be changes made in the future before it's official release.

Late February release, 18,900 Yen (inclusive of tax). Same release date and price for the limited Blue version.

Meanwhile, SDX Knight Gundam has some pictures too. It's going to be release soon after it's announcement of this little fella was back in July when it was still being labeled as "under development".

^ Outstanding!! A stand is included too i think...




^HAHA cute!!




^Oh... This SD got the 'heavy feel' due to the die-cast parts designed ^^ ....

Quite expensive for a SD but it worth the price too with the cuteness and the details and playability. SD collectors, grab this for sure!

December 20th release, 4,935 Yen (inclusive of tax).
