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.

Desert Dom OMS-09DRF RF MSIA Bandai- Gundam 0080

Here’s another piece I got loose from Ebay – this time a Dom in Desert colors. I have the original black/purple one that first appeared in Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 and I thought it would be nice to have a complementary piece.

Gato’s Gelgoog MS-14A MSIA 2000 – Gundam ZZ

Here’s a blue Gelgoog from a piece I just got on Ebay.  This one is Gato’s from Gundam ZZ. I’m not too fond of this mecha but I do like the color scheme.  I bought him to complement the red Char’s Gelgoog that I have.

Below is a loose Daitetsujin DX that I traded from one of my cousin’s friends. He was terrible at keeping all the parts and since he played with them, the joints are all loose. I am not a stickler for condition or having the box like my cousin is. Still, I’m glad to have him since he’s an 80’s Bandai Godaikin. My cousin has a better version (also posted on this site here) in box. The image on the right is how he appeared in his show.

This is the 2nd robot I bought and as usual, from Japantown.  I vividly remember going to that store almost 3x a month just to scope out what he had and I’d inevitably come out with a wish list.  I think I got into Godaikins because of this guy.  I also have the big DX version.

I thought I’d post the Bioman ST since I cleaned him up and took a pix of him.  I have the DX Popy version which I purchased in Japan, but this is the Bio Robo ST robot that belongs to my cousin. This is the US Godaikin version that came out in 1984. The Bio Robo GC-12 is a Super Sentai robot from tokusatsu Choudenshi Bioman(超電子バイオマン) in 1984-1985. My cousin really likes these ST robots as opposed to the DX versions, as he feel the proportions and design look much better. Me I always have been a fan of the DX robots. Give me a big heavy Chogokin robot with a ton of die cast metal.

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.
