The GPO1FB and Sazabi are the best over than the SE Wing Zero Custom, the GPO2 and Nu arent very good. Bad posibility, detail. You have the good ones. And glaw, those pictures are amazing... how do you find the time?

I agree with you Providence. I forgot to mention that I also own the DX Transforming Wing Gundam, but I lost the shield fin and the beam sabre blade. I think the sculpt is good, but posing is cr@p, because it's too top heavy (I actually like the bird mode better, because it's so big!). I read about the problems with the DX Physalis and Nu Gundam in Collection DX and the late Newtype Asylum, so I refrained in getting them (something about the poseability and the atomic bazooka won't stay in one piece). However, I'm still looking forward to get the DX Wing Zero Custom...

GLaw, creepy pictures man!! Could've sworn it was the Master Grade Kit version!! I agree that the DX Line should be resurrected. I only had chance to get the Zephyrantes and Sazabi! I thought I saw a prototype of DX Freedom Gundam in collectiondx.com some times ago...What happened to that?! hahaha... yes, this is a 100% pure arch enemy series action figure. Shading and panel lines are done really well in this series. But, it's really sad to hear that they are not popular in U.S. market. About DX Freedom Gundam, I had seen that news before. Well, I can say it never get produced since the sales of gundam products was poor in U.S. Guess what, before Cosmic Region version Freedom was released, I was so desparately hoping to get DX Freedom Gundam.. Too bad, this dream has never come true.

And glaw, those pictures are amazing... how do you find the time? Well, I spent one whole weekend afternoon and night to take those pictures at my own bedroom. Thanks for your complement. By the way, what does "SE" stand for? Is it another action figure series?

I think the figure saw limited release in Korea and Hong Kong only. It's too bad that the Freedom never made it to the DX line, but it's good knowing that I'm not the only one heartbroken here...

Guess what, just heard a news from Gunota by saying that the next EMIA figure will be Freedom. I hope this will cheer you up a little bit..

I was also disappointed about the cancellation of the DX Freedom Gundam. It was a definite buy for me since I have nearly all of the DX Gundams ever produced (except for the Musha Cloth ;( ). I had read that it was in the works and was to be released for the holidays. But it got shelved apparently. Another victim in the demise of Gundam here in the states.

I don't think there were DX made of the musha cloth other than those roughly 7.5inch ones released in the 80s
Then of course, there's academy's bootleg 14-16in 1/48 version of the Mk-II with some sets sold with musha armor. Although technically defined as a bootleg as it is a non-licensed product this bad boy is just as good or better made than the bandai original 7 inches Mk-II version except way bigger. Its an awesome piece its look accessories and detail is pretty accurate. It wouldnt make for good pictures though just as the bandai 7.5 versiopn its proportions are somewhat rather "toyish"

I do consider the 7.5" (1/100) ones from the 80's "DX Gundams" since DX Gundams at that time were this size and not 1/60 scale like the later ones. It seems that the toys got bigger over time until now. Now the trend seems to be towards smaller scales like the MSiA and HCM Pros. I don't actually mind this now because of decreasing shelf space.

I also have all except the Aile Strike because of already owning the superior MMM version. However, I wouldn't mind having the AE Aile Strike now for the sake of completeness.

I know the designs of the G-gundam series are of an acquired taste but have you tried their 7.5 figure series? Its quite similar to the arch enemy series except for the paint but in term of quality its identical.

Bandai, bring arch enemy series back please!

The detail doesn't impress that much, but I'll still get the rest.
