I always like Gundams with big ass cannons, so I chose the blast impulse gundam and display the Strike Gundam in Launcher Strike mode. Only have the regular version, tho.

hey guys, is the 'New Material Model' Turn-A Gundam (diecast) really 1/100? there is no scale indication written on the box and brochure. i got one today for $20, and i wud love it if it is. a companion piece for my upcoming 1/100 RX-78-2  and the MMM Strike and Impulse Gundams, do they have any diecast in their armor? and if i will only get one each of Strike and Impulse Gundam, which version is best? TIA Hey, MannyD. That's a great price on the Turn A. Did you get that locally? Does your seller still have stock? |

hi ben, yeah the shoulder armor on the Turn-A is held only by a small metal peg, and the joint also doubles up as a swivel articulation for the shoulder armor . the design of the shoulder armor is kinda odd, it is made up of two parts. the front part of the armor can be rotated up and down when the arms is raised forward, but the back part of the shoulder armor is on fixed position  .  other than that, everything is solid. i love the titanium fins on the back of its legs. tnx for the heads-up on the MMM Gundams too ben. niko: yeah bro, am going for the regular versions too. chet: hi dude! got it from a seller i've met years ago (in bidshot) |

Oh. Too bad. Great find for you, though. The MM GQ Impulse Gundams will go great with it.

1/100 diecast Turn-A Gundam...    more accesories (chest missles still attached to sprue)...  box...   i did not like the design when i first watched the anime years ago, but i'm liking this figure. one of the unique gundam design it has diecast torso, including the 6 missile pod covers on the chest, and diecast lower legs. quality plastic parts, and titanium fins on the back of its legs. paintjob and panel lines is excellent, articulation is great too. the crystal cover on the torso is the cockpit . it detaches and becomes a core fighter for the pilot...  two more to hunt, 1/100 MMM Strike and Impulse Gundams |

Wow. Turn A gundam. I love this gundam design in die cast and in 1/100 scale. If anyone is able to find one without shoulder damage, your one lucky guy. It took me like 3 try to finally get one with undamaged shoulder armors. Well. For those ppl that got their shoulder armor damaged it’s pretty easy to repair. i personaly thinks this turn A gundam is the best out of the MMM line if not for the shoulder problem

Can't wait, can't wait ;D ;D!! I must say this is not RX78-2 ver Ka but the same old GFF#0004. As we know, RX78-2 ver Ka will get the treatment of Metal Composite edition |
