"The F-91 isn't really a DX. I had one, but sold it due to the coloration differences in the frame and the model parts. Like a CREAM on WHITE. Not very good unless you plan on painting the whole thing, IMO." Great, now you have me checking mine under white light, actually now that you mentioned it I do see some discoloration? or did it actually come that way? ...i just don't know. ![???](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/huh.png) the shoulders/ head and white in the torso are super white where as the everything else is just a tad off white. its too bad its a pretty good quality dx IMO its got good gimmicks and I dig the design only now that I notice the color difference it kind of bothers me. ![:(](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/sad.png)

But, yeah, they all come like that. Poor QC if you ask me!

Hi all, in case anyone is interested regarding the F-91 DX discoloration. I just opened my MIB one as this "discoloration" issue has been bothering me and this one's "whiteness" is very consistent throughout the whole toy no slight cream color. This would lead me to conclude that it started out white all over but somewhere down the road while on display in my toy lair it yellowed ever so slightly. diespite none exposure to the sun and heat. I just hate this whole yellowing thing I'll probably hang on to this and hope that the MIB I have don't follow in its footsteps. The yellowing on the F-91 is very evenly spread throughout the cream parts, so I really don't know whatelse I could have done to prevent this. So it is poor quality they probably used the same sort of plastic they used on the original bandai 1/55 Valks which are more prone to yellowing. I just hope nothing else yellows in my collection its really very disturbing now I'm keeping a close eye on my 1/48 valks and V gundam for any sign of this.

I think you're right about the earlier Valks. I saw many new in box that had yellowing, so it had nothing to do with sunlight exposure. I'm thinking this is the case with the F-91. But, hey, you could always primer it and paint it to preserve it. I'm not that great with an airbrush, so I sold mine.

Weeeee! ;D My Shining Gundam mobile fighter just arrived in the mail! I scored this ebay auction for only $20... sweetness. He's great - a lot more solid than my Wing (but I do like Wing's proportions better for some reason).... Shining Gundam is just... lanky compared to Wing. Shoulder pop-up switch is too tight (but I don't mind). I'm just so giddy to add such a big toy to my collection, I had to share this with everyone. ![:D](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/grin.png)

I love my DX Gundams too. Too bad they take up SO MUCH space. ![:(](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/sad.png) I've become more interested in the smaller chogokins. I might get more if Bandai maintains the quality of the Hyaku Shiki and ZZ Gundam chogokins. As far as DX Gundams, I think the MSiA DX Psycho Gundam is quite underappreciated. It transforms. It's hefty and constructed of nice hard plastic (not PVC!). It wasn't domestically released so is a bit harder to find. However, I don't think it was a great seller so you might still be able to get it for a good price. BTW, it also comes with a Murasame Four figure to boot. ![;)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/wink.png)

yeah, if I'll find one I'll sure buy it, but it's enough difficult to locate a psyco one, I found in almost two months pratically almost all dx-s ,excepting the 3 V-Gundams from 90s (but two of them I know where to buy...) and the Psyco one so the search continues ![:)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/smiley.png)

so saxa, now that you have almost all the dx s might I suggest going after the vehicle or dx MSIA s eg. 1) elmeth 2) gunnperry 3) gallop 4) Debronium 5) gallop 6) bigro 7) byg Zam 8) zakarello
[i'd also mention the psycho gundam but you already have that on your list]
They're big and make of great display pieces for rather obscure gundam mechas, they also come with a 4.5 figure to boot. Not to mention they're made from good plastic not the flimsy cheap crappy ones used in most MSIA and FIX figures. oh yeah, they also have electronic battle sound pretty cool.
I have almost all of them just missing the gallop
