And while most of them have some issues (especially my F91 and Wing) I just love seeing those big ol' beasts staring down my EVAs.

These Deluxe Gundams, IMHO, are a perfect size for a truely interactive Gundam toy, and make for a kid-appropriate 1/60-scale equivalent of a model. I only wish they'd make more of them!

My MSiA's do smell, and they have a tendency to bend and stay bent in places that are far too obvious. That said, they're toys, and I love letting my cousins play with my MSiA's as opposed to, say, my SOC's MSiA's are great action figures that are meant for the play, and they happen to look pretty sweet for a vinyl robot figure, too.

Well, how about the floppy, stinky, rubberyness of MSiA's? Just looking at your pics, the main crest is bent off to the side. Also, the thin, yellow beam saber is saggy. To be fair, I don't have too much love for Gundam, like you, Josh. I do like the Sazabi, though. MSiA are booty, though. I actually bought two back in the day. They both now stink of chemicals and have a greasy film on them. Awesome gimmick. I let my idiot co-workers play with them now. And the lines? The shapes? These things, in person, look like rubber chew toys for dogs. Sure, that's the CHARM of vinyl kaiju...but for "realistically"-sculpted mecha? Hell no. Gundam mecha are designed to have sharp, straight lines...that's why gunpla has been so prolific. You want a Gundam action figure? Try the HCM-Pro line. Or just stick with MG kits...if you have the patience/time for modeling. -- Sanjeev Okay, cranky bastard here:

You made me register, in the vain attempt to put a Sazabi next to my lonely Nu Gundam on the "Gundam Shelf". What a 30-something won't do for free toys... That said, I've been coming to the site for months. I'm a big fan of the newer video reviews, my favorite being for Leopaldon, the SOC Spider-Man Mech (obligatory "WTF!" here). It's always a pleasure to see people actually playing with their toys. I harken back... At any rate, I guess I'll be a bit more particapatory now I'm registered. I look forward to the Ideon review, though I kinda hope I receive mine before you tell us how good it is. Sir,
