Gundam MSIA Kampfer Bandai Japan 2002
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.

Gundam MSIA Sazabi MSN-04 Bandai 2002
Below is the Sazabi from the MSIA series that I purchased in the Philippines in 2004. I remember the exchange rate being crazy good vs the dollar (62pso to 1) and that these averaged about 600-800 pesos each. So, I was paying anywhere from 6-8 dollars for each, which I thought was very fair. So, I remember scouring every Toy Kingdom in Manila as I could to find as many MSIA’s I could get my hands on. If you try to buy the Sazabi now, it’s about 40 dollars. I had the big deluxe version but I sold that to my cousin as he was very passionate about it. That goes for 200 on Ebay.
Maxter Gundam MSIA 2002 7.5″ Bandai America
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
Shadow Gundam 2002 MSIA Bandai America
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.
Gundam MSIA Qubeley from Gundam Z (Zeta Gundam)
These are two Quebeley type robots as part of the extensive MSIA series. I bought these in Japan 2004. The red one is an MSIA version from 2003. There was a white one (as pictured in the animation cell) that I picked up recently, you can see the post here. I managed to find the blue one in a cartoon clip and I’ve added it here.
Gundam MSIA PMX-003 The-O 2003 Gundam Z
I bought the PMX-003 The-O in Akihabara Japan 2004. This was part of the extensive MSIA series that I just couldn’t get enough of then (and now) due to the variety of mecha. As you can see, he’s much heftier than the typical MSIA, although admittedly, he isn’t much to look at.
Gundam RX-78
This is where it all began – the original RX-78 Gundam. I bought this guy from Toys R Us back when there were a bunch of Gundam cartoons on tv on Cartoon Network as part of Toonami. The Gundam RX-78 Bandai the original Gundam version of this toy was from Clover, 1979. That version is mostly diecast but pretty rare as the company went out of business sometime in the early 80’s and Bandai has since taken over the production run. The 2nd image is a life size replica in Tokyo. Gundam has become such a cultural icon that Japan decided to build a life size version to honor it.
Gundam MSIA Gouf Custom MS-07B3 2006
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.
