GFFs were never known for being posable. Always more of a nice display piece than an "action figure". I gave up on the GFF line after buying a couple. Way too expensive for what it was. My GFF GundamX was a POS. This new GFFN line does intrigue me though. The use of diecast metal and ABS plastic sounds like a huge improvement (to me) from the PVC plastic used in the normal GFFs. It was the build of the normal GFFs that really turned me off from them. I'll probably try out the GFFN Aile Strike as it's one of my favorite designs. Yes the new material is a huge improvement as well as the diecast frame. It makes for a much more solid piece and holds together extremely well, also the armor stays on even when handling which was a huge problem with most GFFs. Unfortunately they increased the price even more... GFFs werent really worth what they charged and now the GFFNs are even more expensive.

Apparently, the GFFMC Zeta plus is out. Seems like there's a lot of complain about the figure not being fully painted (the white parts are the plastic color). I think it's a wise move on Bandai to prevent paint scratching from multiple transformation / booster parts removal, but I'm a little worried with my bad experience with the bare white plastic in MMM GQ Impulse Gundam turning yellow...
I hope Bandai uses similar type of white plastic used in the DX MSIA GP01-fb, since they haven't yellow at all after being exposed in UV lights for at least 6 years.

From the photos I've seen online, the white plastic parts seem like the glossy type used in the DX MSiA toys you mentioned. Which is also similar to the type used in the first MMM (not MMM GQ) toys, which had no problem resisting yellowing.
So I *think* we may be safe, but I will keep my fingers crossed nonetheless.

I hear the same complaints about the GFFMC Zeta - we'll see. HLJ just sent me notification that my order is shipping. Can't wait to open that box up.

the lack of paint doesnt matter, its more like the lack of diecast cuz there is hardly any at all!

And so... Next up we have the O Gundam from Gundam 00. Bandai is REALLY getting the mileage out of those Rx-78 parts.....
Can I have a Gouf PLEASE??!!! Also, Zeta Gundam Unit 3....

Wow interesting choice, didnt think they would go that new so fast, but like you said gpa, its pased of the original RX so less production costs. But really what can they offer with this guy, he is just so bare bones!! I would of liked Gundam 00 at least

Who has all of the GFF MC figures? Which is considered the best and why? I just have the RX-78-2 and recently ordered the Zeta Plus (which is on its way!). I've been looking at the Psycho Gundam MK II, but I've been unimpressed with what it transforms into--an ugly blocky thing.
I'm still hoping for a GFF MC Sentinel Gundam with nice diecast content like the KS ZZ Gundam.
