Hero Universe Super Robot is made by Color Baby at Colorbaby.es. It is another bootleg from the sunny shores of Spain. The closest match is a Gundam robot. It has an RX-78 body, similar color scheme and a samurai or Gundam like head. The illustration on the back of the box is definitely a Gundam in a Space War sequence and so is the illustration on the front.

The print on the box sounds like it was made by someone using Google Translate. Engrish at its best. Found this at a dollar store in Burgos, Spain. It is a decent robot. It lights up and makes some noise. Watch out for the Action Boldness. It’s kinda cool, but not 10 euros cool, lol.

Zaku MS-06S Vol. 1 Bandai 2001 Polystone Collection Scene G-3

The Bandai Polystone Collection covers various properties like Godzillla, Gundam, Kamen Rider, and Naruto. They are miniature sculpted dioramas that are 3 3/4 by 2 3/4 inches. My personal favorites were the Godzilla dioramas. I may have to pick up  a few eventually. I picked this up in the early 2000’s when all things Gundam were harder to come by. It was one of the few Gundam items I had to display. Not long after all the Gundam anime came out on Cartoon Network and I could pick up Gundam robots at all the local stores.

Zaku MS-06S Vol. 1 Bandai 2001 Polystone Collection Scene G-3

I love Gundam. And I love big robots. And this, THIS is a very large Zaku. Both of my favorite things in one toy! It is interactive, so if you have the other Gundam Motorized action figure(I think it is the RX-78) it kind of looks like they are fighting. Saw this monstrous robot for $15 at Target as they were clearing it out and I just had to buy it.

I think it is 18″. That’s less than a dollar an inch. There is a hole in the packaging so you can press a button to see the Zaku in action. It moves left and right and waves his axe and gun around. The speaker spouts out loud music and copy from the first anime series I believe. Actually that part is kind of irritating, but it is fun to watch once a year.

Yeah, I still haven’t taken it out of the box. I hate the idea of dusting this thing.

Merry Christmas all! ***

Here’s a nice 7 inch deluxe set that I just got on Ebay for like 35 dollars.  It’s the Nu Gundam with the armor and heavy arms.  I haven’t taken it out of the box because there’s so many pieces and I just wanted to put him on this post first.  I’ll take him out someday and take a pix once I have assembled him.

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.

Gundam RGZ-91 Re-GZ & Back Weapon System Deluxe Edition Bandai 2001

Here’s another piece that I bought for a very reasonable price of about 35 dollars.  This one is the RGZ-91 from Char’s Counterattack and was the first transformable Gundam suit. I was hoping it was a big deluxe version but it’s only 7 inches. Still, it’s quite a nice piece and I’m happy with it as I didn’t have this one. Well, I could probably say that for the millions of other Gundam mecha from the various genres (Gundam 0079, 0080, 0082, MS08 Team, Char’s Counterattack, Gundam Seed/Destiny/Wing/Unicorn…)

I finally had some time today and finally took him out of the box. I have only displayed him with the gun because I’m so paranoid about losing pieces.
