It's the Psycho Gundam Mk 2 from ZZ Gundam, hopefully that means a bit more than a repaint. The ad says something about a "greater volume by 130%", whatever that means.

Great! BTW, it's not a repaint but it's a new variation. Like gpa said it is the Psycho Gundam MkII from ZZ. Psycho Gundam came from the Zeta series.  jessedart: Psycho is a 1/144 and the height is almost 11" tall...  With 1/144 scale Perfect Gundam, and Perfect Zeong.  With the 1/100 Metal composite RX-78-2 Gundam vic01 |

Man oh man!! I haven't even gotten the Mk-I Psyco yet!
And I believe the Mk-II is more than just a repaint. There's enough to distinguish it from the Mk-I.
Thank for the update, Mowe!

Yup. Mk II Psycho Gundam. I agree that it's more than just a repaint. Nice to see that Bandai is going a bit further with its modifications with the next metal GFF. Can't say that I'm too thrilled about the color scheme of the Mk II though.

For the record, I love the Metal Fix Psycho from Zeta Gundum. It is big, heavy, beautiful paint job, great QC, perfect transformation, stunning decals, lovely packaging, and very good price. It is one of the few toys that I considered to be perfect.

But isn't it supppsedly too small for the stated scale? i think 11 inches is just right. Psyco Gundam head height = 40 meters in 1/144 scale = 11 inches anyways, the ad on Psyco Gundam Mk II says "greater volume by 130%". does it mean size increase by 130%? head height of Psyco Gundam Mk II = 39.98 meters. in 1/144 = 11 inches increase by 130% = 14.3 inches so Psyco Gundam Mk II will be around 14.3 inches height (?) |

130% could refer to total weight. Or diecast content ...out of curiosity, is that a fix figuration batman? |

I'd like a transforming Zeta done in the same style with die-cast.

So would I! I'm a total diehard zeta gundam fan. It's been a while since the kado senshi figure came out. I bought that then promptly sold it so I still have a craving for the perfect zeta representation. A ver Ka zeta would be very welcome.

I'd rather see a GP01/FB metal 1/100 fix. That would be awesome.  |

Man I hope this figure is as nice at it looks, I just scored one with the G-fighter on Ebay for less than $90.

The GFF MC #1001 RX-78-2 with G-Fighter is very nice if that's what you're referring to. Even the G-Fighter sports some diecast and rubber treads. Incredibly well detailed. Incredible display figure.

Yup, that's what I'm getting. I was going to get just the regular GFF #1004 but I actually found that the GFF #1004 is more expensive now than the #1001 which is funny.

Getting one for under $90 is quite a score. New or used? I've learned to wait before buying things now. Much less likely to pre-order items as I've seen so many things drop in price just months after release. The GFF MC Zeta Plus seems like a good deal at HLJ @ 30% off if they still have any left.

Yeah I've noticed a massive drop in prices for most high end figures, I picked up a 1/60 VF-1S Roy Focker with Strike Pack for $115 and I've seen prices for Yamato's Dangaurd Ace for as low as $135. If you have the cash then now is the time to buy stuff.
