Another Gundam MSIA purchased in Asia 2004. This is the Gouf Custom MS-07B-3. I’ve added a screen capture of what he looked like as a cartoon. He’s part of the 08th MS Team anime series.

Below is the Geara Doga in blue. This is a commander’s version. It also comes in a green model which I just got as a loose piece.  I really love the Gundam MSIA line because there’s an endless variety of mechas – especially on the Zeon side.   This was one of many I bought on a trip to Japan and the Philippines in 2004.

Tetsujin 28 ST GB-23 by Popy 1980

Tetsujin 28 is one of my favorite robots.  I bought the Tetsujin 28 ST on Ebay 2003 for 200 dollars which I thought was steep for and ST sized robot. But fast forward 10 years later and Tetsujin 28 rarely comes up for sale at any price and if they do, they’re easily 1000+ for the DX version.

Actually, I had never seen this ST version.  Although I had wanted the Popy or Godaikin DX version, I’m quite happy with having some sort of representation of this robot.  The current re-issues unfortunately are either plastic OR look like the original cartoon back in the 50’s instead of the robot from the new anime The New Adventures of Gigantor or New Tetsujin-28 that came out in 1980-1981.

Deluxe Gundam MK-II Mobile Suit RX-78 1985

This one, I recall buying in a small toy store in Kyoto, Japan. This was my very first Gundam. I grew to love this series immediately as there were so many different mecha (compared to Macross). I don’t recall seeing the Zakus at the time but they may have been in the unfamiliar-to-me-at-the-time  or HCM format rather than a toy like this one. I have also placed its replacement – the 12″ Deluxe Nu Gundam from Char’s Counterattack next to it as comparison. I also have a small booklet that I purchased from Kinokuniya book store. I might also have a VHS tape as well. You can now watch episodes on Youtube.

Here is another Gundam MSIA purchased in Asia. This is the Bandai Mobile Suit in Action!! Dozzle Zabi Use MS-06F Zaku II that came out in 2004. This is the Zaku II piloted by Dozle Zabi.

I really liked this series because we never got the Zaku’s in the U.S. and I just loved all the different models and colors they came in. Below is the actual toy and its cartoon version.  I’m not sure which series this one was in – I’m going to say it was Gundam 0079.

Gundam MSIA Rick Dias RMS-099 2003

Here’s a Mobile Suit In Action!! (MSIA) Rick Dias RMS-099 figure that came out in 2003. I purchased this from either Toy Kingdom in the Philippines or in Tokyo.  I love these figures as the U.S. didn’t get the other robots from the Gundam series other than the Gundams themselves. I just felt there were so many mechas in the various Gundam series that we never got to see.

Galatt DX Hicompact Model Jumbow 1985

This is a robot I bought on a trip to japan in 1985. According to my recently found notes, I purchased the Galatt DX for 13 dollars.  I wasn’t familiar with this series but I have seen some clips of him. It appears to be a spoof about the whole super robot genre as a whole. It was generally my practice to get pretty much any robot that I saw in a toy store (even if I didn’t know the series).

Daidenjin Godaikin 1984

Here’s a Daidenjin Godaikin which I purchased from a little shop in Japantown, San Francisco in 1984. I bought quite a few robot figures/toys from that store. The owner retired sometime in the early 2000’s. I added a picture of what he looks like in his Super Sentai show. I think this is the Japanese DaiDenzin GB-14 DX by Popy instead of the Godaikin version, as the shop in Japantown only sold Japanese robots. This one is another robot with heavy diecast metal content, which makes it another awesome Chogokin robot.
