Mugen Calibur 1983 Takatoku

My cousin has this same toy, however, I can’t seem to recall how I got my Mugen Calibur 1983. I do know I got his on a trip to Japan. Anyway, he’s already made a post for this robot, complete with box. Still, I thought I’d make my own post so that I could catalog my entire collection.

Char’s Gelgoog – Gundam

Here’s the smaller 4.5 inch version of Char’s Gelgoog which I also have it in the big 7.5 inch deluxe version. I actually had some leftover red shoulder armor pieces from the lot from a different Gundam and they just happen to match with this guy.  I think the shoulder pieces are from a Gundam Epyon from Gundam Wing but I think he goes pretty well with this guy too. I have always been a fan of the Gelgoog and Zakus. The combat armors for the bad guys have always been more appealing to me design and color wise.

Rick Dom Zaku – Gundam 0079

Below are the still image and actual toy of the Rick Dom Zaku from Gundam 0079.

This was part of large lot recently purchased from Craigslist.  He’s missing his right arm but I could probably find it somewhere on Ebay or even get an entire used loose piece if desired as he’s not too hard to get. Again, I love the Zaku color schemes – this time in black and purple – compared to the Gundams.

GM Guncannon/RGM-89 Jegan (“Jim”) Gundams

Below are two variants of the GM (or otherwise known as the “Jim”) Gundams.  One is the twin cannon variant and the other is the grunt/cannon fodder version that usually gets killed off right away.

Dancouga GigaBrain 2003

Here’s the Dancouga GigaBrain. Another robot that my cousin lent me since I didn’t have the original Dancougar.  This one’s a new version from Gigabrain.  I don’t know when the Real Action Robo Dancouga came out as I couldn’t find a year on the box but guessing in the mid-2000’s. I am seeing 2003 on the web.  I think the new version looks better as a robot but the original has more heft and that’s the one I grew up with.  My cousin has the original one as well.

Sandrock Gundam XXG-01SR Bandai America 2000

Here’s another one that I got as part of recently purchased large lot of Gundams.  This one is the Sandrock Gundam XXG-01SR. He’s kind of cool with the blades in his hands and back.  I spent many, many hours trying to piece these robots together as I was handed a bunch of loose arms, legs, shields, weapons etc….I’ve had to watch numerous YouTube videos to get them mostly right.  Unfortunately, this guy is missing his right arm.  I had to Frankenstein him as I had that left over arm piece.  I then remember I had the blades but didn’t know which Gundam he went to originally, so I had to go back to my loose pieces box for those.  The color is a little different from the show as they had different colors.

UFO Robo Grendizer 12″- Yamato Toys 2007

Here’s a vinyl 12″ Yamato UFO Robo Grandizer that I borrowed from my cousin. I was curious to see how much he might be and found the ST version of him in Japan for “only” 900 dollars.  I believe they have made a Soul of Chogokin version and that might be a worthwhile option since the vintage version is out of my price range.

Heavyarms Gundam MSIA 4.5″ Bandai America 2000

Below are the Heavyarms Gundam from Gundam Wing.  There’s an orange/white variant and the grey/white variant.  The grey/white one is missing the right shoulder missile launcher.  I got these two as part of 20 pc loose lot.  I spent 5 hours one night piecing together various arms, legs, shoulders etc.  I did pretty good – there were only about 3 Gundams that I couldn’t complete and I Frankenstiened two of them so that at least they could look functional.
