Thanks to you guys, I now ordered my first bust ever in my collection. Got Nu from cdjapan at a decently good price after using my points. Looking forward to see this in person, see how detail it is. I suppose this is a good way to get a highly detailed Gundam, without resorting to build one. I'll have to see how much I like it before considering Sazabi. Might sound blasphemy, but I am only so so on Sazabi's design. And looking at the pics of the bust hasn't won me over just yet. The higher price didn't help either. We'll see...

I am very tempted if I get the funds though I wonder if shipping negates getting it from overseas.

This one has lots of qc issues hence the price drop. You can check the pics from a chinese forum post here: link |

I got one for about $120 when I was passing through Tokyo, found a place that had it on sale and tax free. QC seems ok on my copy, only thing is the black paint on the cockpit hatch is a bit thick and uneven. Not super obvious but you can tell when you look at the reflections at certain angles. So def not Bandai's best paint job...I wonder if they simply make Formanias at different factories in China?

Mine has a couple flaws. The main one being a crooket shoulder 'U' bar slot, and some minor paint flaws. Nothing too terrible. Heard there will be announcement on the 3rd installment soon. Wonder what it will be, if it will be a brand new Gundam bust (RX-78? Unicorn?)

The third installment of Formania EX is GP-01. No photo shot is allowed at Taiwan Tamashii Exhibition, hence no photo is available at the moment.

Not sure about how I feel about GP-01. GP-01Fb might be a little better. But even then, not sure if it is a significant enough design for this line, especially when the Formania EX line may live a pretty short life.

Have a feeling the price of the Sazabi EX will go down as time goes by...Just like I was able to find the Nu bust for cheaper eventually.

I bought a used one for 20,000 yen from Japan including shipping. I love it. It's not heavy as I thought but the details are really great.
