As is so often the case with us silly newbies, questions bubble up frequently. Here are some of mine, relating to a particular Gundam line Bandai cooked up.
The line that spawned my first, and very recently purchased, Gundam item, to be precise: Kado/Kahen Senshi Chogokin Gundams. I was completely unaware of its existance, but then came a revelation. A very shiny revelation. Clad all in stunning gold. Wielding, amongst other things, a rather gargantuan gun.
Yup. Hyaku Shiki. Now proudly posed betwixt numerous, taller Chogokins, but still managing to stand out; reflecting the soft Halogen lights of the display-cabinet like a mad thing.
So. Before I am too distracted by it's mesmerizing shinyness, I have a query for all you lucky folks who were in the know, and have a head start on me. Bestow upon me your immense wisdom.
How does the Kahen Senshi ZZ Gundam compare to this little beauty?
The place I discovered had these gems sold both the one I took home, and the above-mentioned Chogokin, and now I am obviously considering whether or not to purchase additional Gundamy goodness.
My initial impressions: it seem slightly larger, though the diecast-content was hard to determine. The weight of the box suggested I probably needn't worry, however. It transforms, obviously, which I assume hurts the posability somewhat. To what extent? What accessoires does it actually come with?
Thanks in advance for your expert assistance. And why didn't you tell me about these things before, dammit? *Shakes fist*

I really like the ZZ Gundam chogokin. It has a fully transforming core fighter for starters! It also comes apart to form several different vehicles. The diecast content is decent. I deem it a very worthwhile purchase. I got mine with the cool 3D crystal paperweight. I believe I wrote about this figure in a thread somewhere else a while ago.

Here's the title of the prior thread on the subject:
ZZ GUNDAM GD-60, GD-44 Z GUNDAM or Gundam 78 GD 16

Look on pages 7 & 10. The other thread I started but got no replies to was:
Topic: ZZ Gundam Kahen Senshi Chogokin
currently on page 10. There was a review on the ToyboxDX website for this at the time I believe.

Yep, I found those. As well as the toyboxdx review, though I was surprisingly elusive given the fact that they have a searchengine on their site.. I only searched the gundam board for topics on these toys, but I also just found one sitting in the general toy discussion. My mistake for trying to spare the server-straining search feature by being specific. ![;)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/wink.png) Anyway, just about all I read is jubilant praise. Just a few minor gripes which I can live with. So yeah, if the price is acceptable I'm definately going to pick it up. Thanks for the trouble, my friend.
