Cool I prefer kits over built pieces, but that's very nice anyways! (I wouldn't mind some FIX figures myself hehe). That Deep Striker looks awesome And that black Impulse also looks great :-) I recommend panel lining your kits, they look 100% better! May I ask what did you use to raise the back row of FIX figures? It looks like some kind of clear plastic cube or something... I'm running out of shelf space so I'll have to make 2 rows and I dont' want all the figures to be on the same level... Thanks! :-)

I couldn't help but notice that F-91 poster and the F-91 in your collection. I'm a very big fan of that Gundam and am currently considering if I should purchase that model. Would you recommend it?

If you ever want to dump that Sazabi I'm your guy Lol but still fantastic collection. My three favorite Gundam lines are Arch Enemy, FIX, and DX and you have them all covered nicely

Providence: Go (Banana) Slugs! I'm an alum of UCSC. Thanks for the pix of your collection. Nice to see that you're able to afford all that Gundam stuff on a student's budget.

Nice stuff man! The Full Armor Hyaku-Shiki Kai looks amazing! Where do you get it? Is it a Gundam Fix?

Hey guys, to answer your questions...
I like the Fix line best, however I have favorities such as the DX Sazabi, Arch Enemy Talgeese III, GPO1 and Deep Striker, Wing Early Version from Gundam Fix
The thing in the back is a clear stand about 4" X 16", Im guessing its supposed to be for model cars, I bought it for some endless waltz sd figs i have, but they didnt fit, i like it because the deep striker isnt rasied as high as the EX-S when displayed, so it looks kinda weird having them next to each other, havng the elevation really makes it look cooler
F91, I got that poster at the Metreon in San Francisco (they should probably still have some if you ask), the Gundam does'nt have too much articulation, but it does have a variety of weapons, it has the white stand that makes it look professional, I would get it if your an average fan, let alone a big fan
The Hyaku-Shiki Kai Full Armor is a Gundam Fix and its really cool looking, the pics dont do it justice, its big, lots of armor sticking out, you can buy it in a variety of places (hlj.com, bigbadtoystore.com, animequest.com, imageanime.com, gundamstoreandmore.com,)
Sorry, I probably wont sell the Sazabi, its so bulky, believe me, it took forever for me to find it too. A whole year, yur day will come...
Go Banana Slugs, its nice having this, i live at the college eight apartments, its ahrd, its called saving and saving... and patience to build this collection... hopefully it will continue...
Thanks for the comments guys, if anyone has any more questions, dont hesitate to ask :-)

Wow! Great collection! Yeah, I also like GFF the most. May I know if you have GFF#0004 RX78-2, GFF#0022 ZZ Gundam, GFF#0009 RX-93, GFF#0008 Physalis, GFF#0005 FAZZ as I don't see them on the shelf.
I have most of the GFF figures (including the limited edition Gundam Fix Box) except the following:
1) GFF#0025 Xi/Penelope Gundam 2) GFF#0023 Hyaku-Shiki 3) GFF#0021(a) F90 4) GFF#0017(a) Z plus C1 5) GFF#0016(b) Crossbone XM-X2
Among the above-mentioned figures, Hyaku-Shiki is my next target. For Item 3 to 5, I actually have either one of a twin (ie Box (a) or (b)) and the only differences between the twin are either colour or little modification on parts. therefore, I don't think I will be in hurry or intend to get them. For Item 1, people says it's kinda cool, but, I am not really fond of it, especially the huge shoulder plates and chest part look kinda strangely funny. As Xi is converted into Penelope, worse still, I wonder what is that long and strangely-looking panel, which seems like an umbrella, on top of its head for? Well, anyway, I think I would keep this month's saving for the upcoming GFF#0026 RX78-2 ver Ka which I have been long awaiting.
Hey, I realise that some of my GFF gundams are displayed in the similar modes and poses like yours, for example, Ex-S Task-Force Alpha stretching arms forward to hold the long beam rifles, Heavy Gundam instead of RX78-1 mode and placed together with Perfect and Full Armor Gundams, GPO4 instead of Gerbera-Tetra mode.
I know Zeonography is nice collection line, but I don't think I can afford them all. I think I would rather be more into GFF series. For Cosmic Region series, I would selectively collect (Apparently, I have Force Impulse Gundam). So, are you going to collect Cosmic Region Series?
My favourite GFFs are Deep Striker, Wing Gundam ver Ka, EX-S Gundam, Mudrock and RX78NT-1 Alex .
Besides, for Arch Enemy Series, I have Wing Zero Custom and Tallgeese and RX-78-2. I also have the Metal Material Model and GQ figures including Turn A, Aile Strike, Sword/Launcher Strike, Force and Sword Impulse Gundams except Blast Impulse Gundam.
I hope I also could show the pictures of my gundams with you one day.

Hey Glaw, Yes, I have every Gundam Fix except the 0004 G-Armor, I also have the Zeonography 3004a and b, pewun dowage and chars rick dom. They are all great figures, im really envious that you have the limited edition 0004 G-Armor, that one is really cool, i wonder what the clear material is made out of... plus that art book... So many cool FIXs, I wish I had 2 of 9 for the regular and NWS, 10 for Gerbera Terra and GPO4, 12 for MKII Titans and Barzam, 2 of 13 for EX-s with Booster and Deep Striker, 15 for RX and Heavy, 18 for Alex and GPo4, 19 for Super and MK II Full Armor, 20 for Mudrock and GPO5, 22 for ZZ and Full Armor II, 23 for Hyakishiki and Hyakishiki Kai FA, and 2 zeta for 2 transformations... I want to continue to build my collection, have a million of things... all over the house, although right now, its just in my on campus apartment.... so you love Fix too huh? I wish they would do an Rx-79 (G) Gundam Fix, or EZ8, I also hope the Zeonography Gouf Custom has the Gatling gun.. hope to meet you, ill put up more pics of my collection...

Providence,
Wow, you are truly a Fix collector! You really have made investment in Fix collection.
Regarding the limited edition Gundam Fix Box, if I have not mistaken, it was limited to 6,000 sets and I am glad that I have one. Honestly speaking, I have yet to open up the box of the clear version #0004 G-Armor and still display this unopened GFF box on shelf. Yeah, The Gundam Fix Box contains two art books, a CD Rom and one set of post cards. Let me briefly tell you what is the contents of those things. One of the art books called "Gundam Fix - the popular edition" containing Katoki's artwork which portrays gundams existing in this real world. They are the same pictures as you see at the back of GFF boxes. All these pictures have been published in Newtype, a japanese anime magazine couple years ago. The another art book is an explanatory book "Transition ++" which were previously sold only at Katoki Hajime art exhibitions, but this time with explanations of new artworks added. About the CD Rom, it just contains all the pictures found in those art books. All the pictures in the popular edition book are also found in the post cards. They are really marvellous!
I wonder if you keep all the GFF boxes and how do you handle all of them? Since they are not reuseable, what i mean is once you open the box, you couldn't pack the figures back into the box, unlike MMM (or GQ) series boxes which are reuseable. Another problem with the boxes, they take up some room space, aren't they? Hey, I like the image design at the back of the box and intend to cut them out for collection.
the next GFF figure (after the release of RX78-2 ver Ka in August) that I really want to have is Wing Zero Custom (Endless Waltz) since it is one of my favourite gundams. Do you know that the MG Wing Zero Custom is designed by Katoki? I wish the new design and engineering technieques of the wings in MG figure will be similarly applied to his GFF version one day...

Wow Glaw, Your gundam fix are extremely cool, I love how you posed them with other fixs, they look very nice. Especially the art on that G-Armor special edition, wow.... Also very clean, a lot of mine have dust and stuff... although that can be taken care of... Ill post some more detailed pictures in the months ahead, when I get back to college, all of my gundams are in a trunk in san francisco as I speak so... but I have been painting houses so, working summer jobs, I was able to afford a few more gundams (Cosmic region, G Armor, EMSIA MK II 1 and 2, and I know your gonna hate me, but I got another Deep Striker (OMG), because my old one saggs a little bit, and I always liked the S Booster/ EX-S in orange, so im gonna convert my old into either one of those, and use my new one for the deep striker, very cool... I would also like to stress that I work hard to earn the money I do, and I use to constantly save and sacrifice, so im not just some student with money. I always have to find the lowest drives, drive long distances, build relationships and make deals with vendors, the deep striker i got for 90 pickup, new, a lot of places sell for 115, 125, 150, 160, so part of this is finding the right price. Also, I love the way you psed that Wing Zero, very very cool. I want to customize a stand so I can see that famous speading wing pose as well. All in all Glaw, very nice collection. Im going to England this summer for school EAP (education aborad program), but when I get back and start school in Santa Cruz, ill take a more detailed pictoral of my collection and let oyu check it out. Cant wait to get 0025..... Take care buddy, and keep collecting... your collection kicks....

I also hope the Zeonography Gouf Custom has the Gatling gun.. Looks like you're dreams will be coming true. The Gouf Zeonography is the Custom Variant so it'll have that big Gatling Gun. I had hoped they'd make an Ez-8 too, but with the Blue Destiny units coming out, I think it might be awhile longer if we ever get those 08th MS Team GFFs.

if they do make an EZ-8 i don't see what it's alternate armor would be.

Post by nidaram12 on Jul 17, 2005 12:36:05 GMT -5
Maybe a Ground Gundam? If they do the Ez-8 in grey not tan its a possibility... i mean look at the Gerbera fix : )

Post by Mudrock's Ace on Jul 17, 2005 13:29:21 GMT -5
no, since the BD and BDII are next along with the guncannon and gouf, i think BDIII will have the ground type for alternate armor
