Tamashii Nations 2009: Gundam FIX

Submitted by JoshB on 25 March, 2009 - 19:42.

Ok, so I'm not the biggest Gundam fan in the world, but things like this sorely tempt me to get back into the fold. This massive toy (not a kit) is still TBD but Bandai says it will happen. Just look at the amazing detail! 1/35 Scale!

I believe the big 1/35th scale Gundam (same size as the Jumbo Grade) is supposed to emulate the Katoki illustration from the old High Grade Gundam's manual.

Yes, you are. Those froggy things are characters from the long-running manga series "Keroro Gunsou", also known as "Sgt. Frog" in the US. Ever since Gundam model kits were featured in the manga, Bandai has stepped up and created Keroro Gunsou toys and models that are cross-compatible with the Gundam products.

I knew they were from a manga with Gundam references,I just always thought the models were entirely the work of fans.

I find the thought of a blinged-out Ex-S Gundam to be extremely amusing.

Although, that Deep Striker...feh. Whoever came up with that deserves a smack. It's like some kind of lobster with a Gundam head glued to it.

Neat too bad it'll cost over 1000 usd just to get.
I think its all just a prelude to the unveiling of the fully functional 1/1 scale version that's being called a "statue".

back in '85 I'd drool over an issue for hours, days even. Who knew Gundam would eventually become monotonous? Here it looks like Bandai is getting over the hump and finally updating the designs with the latest toy coolness. I especially dig the pad printing.

It gives you a sense of how retardedly huge these Gundams actually are. They're something like twice as tall as a VF-1 Valkyrie.

The Jumbo Grade vinyl figures are listed as 1/35 already... they're really pretty affordable, and alot of fun. I bought the Zaku a couple months ago with fight my Hard Graph kits and am thinking about adding some paint detail to the big guy.

OMG! First the 1/2000 scale SDF-1 and now this! It would be cheaper for me to just move to Japan.

Zeta Plus?

Great pics Josh. Thanks for the peek. I see that the Metal Composite Zeta Plus's were there. Was there any indication as to when these are actually going to be released?

BTW, who's that squirly looking GFF with the big shoulder balls?

That would be the Delaz Fleet's MS-21C Dra-C from "Gundam 0083- Stardust Memory". According to MAHQ's profile, it is a mass-production [smaller-scale] mobile armor which uses salvaged parts from other designs, including the Zaku II.

Don't you mean it's so GUNDAMN SEXY!?

Say it with passion dude!

...The Zetaplus might be Gundamn sexy for a Gundam Valkyrie, but the VF-XX will always be the sexiest Valk-mecha in the universe!

Eep...not that *I* really care, as I'm not much of a Gundam toy fan, but early reports of that metal GFF Zeta aren't good.

And there are more negative reviews out there on the 'net, if ya look...
