Month: December 2013

Here’s most of the Gundams that I have recently purchased.  The 3 on the top shelf are models, that I’m displaying since the models may get broken if I try to re-pack them. Most of the stuff I have displayed are Gundam but I have a few Transformers and Diarobos since they’re small.

Dave’s Collection mostly shows Gundam 4.5″, 7.5″, Deluxe 12″, with a sprinkling of Transformer robots

Since I picked up a bunch of these, I decided to put up a Gundam theme display of my 4.5″, 7.5″ and 12″ Bandai Mobile Fighter Action Figures

Here’s the “girl” Gundam that my sister happened to have.  Since she knew I was collecting Gundams, she gave this to me.  The Nobel Gundam represents Sweden in Mobile Fighter G Gundam.

Here’s one of the enemies for the Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz – the Tallgeese III. I got the Arch Enemy Tallgeese III at Target in the early 2000’s. He’s not a big deluxe 12 inch robot figuresl but a nice 7-8 inch figure. He is one of my favorite bad guys based on his design and looks, although I didn’t really get into Gundam Wing.  I am a big fan of bad guy robots as they have so much more variety.

Here’s one of the big deluxe Gundams.  I can’t recall all the big deluxe models they had but I recall there were about 6 or 7 of them.  I can’t recall where I purchased this one but it was definitely early 2000’s.

Here’s another GM Cannon Mobile Suit in Action!! variant.  This time in green.  This was another loose piece I got on Ebay.

Here’s a rare variant that I have never seen – toy or cartoon – a camouflage Zaku MS-06J. This was another loose piece I got on Ebay for a good price.  If you were to get him on the card, you’ll pay about 50 dollars. I got him for about 9 dollars I think. I do not really care about the packaging or box anyway. I really like the camo version of the Zaku. Actually, I have not run into a Zaku I did not like. It is one of my favorite Gundam designs.

Here’s another loose MSIA piece I just got on Ebay.  This one’s called the Alex Gundam( short for Armored Layers EXperimental) and it’s from Gundam 0080. From reading Wiki, this a new mecha built specifically for “Newtypes” (basically, humans with enhanced mental capabilities – they are said to almost , in essence, have a 6th sense).  This model has the new “Chobham” armor which is basically armor plates bolted onto the unit.
