Here’s another figure that I got as part of a large lot purchased on Craigslist.  I wouldn’t have purchased this myself but he’s cool enough.  This is the Asura Gundam representing Neo Singapore.  I didn’t know Singapore had an entry in Mobile Fighter G Gundam, although I didn’t really follow that series. This 6 armed monster Gundam comes with a pretty bad color scheme as well.

While I didn’t get into the G Gundam series, I really like the robots in this series as they broke the typical Gundam mold by showing representations of different nations.

Below is Jazz.  I did have the original Generation 1 Jazz back in 1984, but I know I traded a bunch of Transformers away for some of the Godaikins I have now.  You can tell this is the 2002 Hasbro Commemorative Series III re-issue because the missile launcher is much larger than the original. Still, he’s one of my favorite autobots.

Gundam MSIA Kampfer MS-18E 2002 from anime Gundam 0080 War in the Pocket

Another MSIA – this time it’s the Kampfer from Gundam 0080 War in the Pocket. Another one bought in the Philippines in 2004. I just couldn’t get enough of the MSIA’s because there were just so many different types of robots.

Another Gundam 7.5″ from the G-Gundam series – this time the Maxter Gundam representing the USA or Neo America. Most likely purchased at Target or Toys R Us early 2002. I didn’t really get into this series but I bought the robots nonetheless, since I loved Gundam as a whole

Here’s the Shadow Gundam 7.5″ figure that’s part of the G Gundam series. This series was different from the other Gundam series in that, rather than having destructive wars, disputes would be settled by individual Gundams representing their respective countries. In this case, this is the Shadow Gundam fighting for Neo Germany.

HCM’s are great little robots. The YMS-09 Dom is by far one of the better ones. I got tired of the white original Gundam armor so the Prototype Dom is a welcome relief. I like the Zions armor as they have more variety. They look more like tanks, heavy armor. More sinister. I love picking up these HCM”s from the 80’s. I eventually want to pick up the Vifam or Neofam HCM’s. Not sure if they are Gundam robots, but I like them.
