DC in Gundams

[frog]

Before these new SOC Gundams, did any Gundam toys have diecast?

Clover had made some right? How about bandai?

There was the clover stuff, I believe the V gundam Mobile Suit in Pocket figures had diecast, though to varying degrees. Banpresto has put out some gundam stuff with diecast, i.e. the 20th aniversary 'retro style' figure, the new V and V Hexa Perfect Transformation figures, and some brick-like SD figures. There's even some diecast content in the MG Nu Gundam model.

Hi,

I agree. I have all the MSIP toys. The MSIP only have screws - the closest you can get to a "metallic" part/s. You are partly correct. I also have the 1/72 and 1/48 Toys from the V Gundam series. Again, metal screws only. Of course if you count the speakers and led lights which includes some soldered metal LOL.

Yup! Correct again. Banpresto came up with the Action Gokin line which is about 80% metal. A think they are the nicest ones when it comes to proportion. Very sleek and lean. Not the best paintjob. You see the seams. But if you customize it like I did with my MK.II, it comes out nice.

There is also the High Complete Models which they are re-issuing right now. Old school design. No Katoki here. The best one I like is the F91 1/60 Scale HCM. Very Nice and Super Cool.

Anyway, just wanted to jump in and share my input. Thanks!

Here is the link my friend :



RX-78-2 Metallic Version - I don't Have A pic of the Regular Color Scheme



Same Mettalic version



Gundam RX-178 Mk.II AEUG Ver



Same Gundam RX-178 Mk.II AEUG Ver - As of now, I applied water slide decals on the Mk.II

BTW, They also have the ZAKU both Chars' and the Green ones. The only one I don't have anymore is the Zeta Gundam.
If you are Blessed enough, you can find the Getter 1,2, and 3 in Yahoo HK from the same AG series...

Enjoy the pics!

I just got the regular color, grey color, and 2 zakus off e-bay. When they come in, I'll post some pix. I also saw an Action Gokin great maz pop up the other day on e-bay.

SOC GUndams??? What SOC Gundams? Do you mean the Bandai Kado Shensi 1/144 scale Gundams? I have been hoping they will give the classic Gundam designs a SOC treatment...

[Gundamfan777]

Yes, that's what I want to know too! How come Gundam was never given the die-cast treatment? Something along the SOC line?
