Hi! Just want to share here my HCM Pro Gundam 00 series. They are very nice for playing, and displaying. I love the details and articulations, though I don't really like on what they did on the Kyrios' groin, can't posed it in a nice way. The best for me in terms of articulation, gimmicks and looks is the Virtue/Nadleeh! I feel everything that needs to be put on in action figs are possessed by this figure. I recommend it! Pics I took when I had free time... Gundam Exia, Dynames, Kyrios, Nadleeh, and Virtue Gundam Exia pics... Gundam Dynames I love the shield armors! Gundam Kyrios Nadleeh riding on Kyrios Gundam Nadleeh I love this fig! Armors and the dummy. Time to put the armors! Gundam Virtue Totally awesome fig! The armors are tightly hold. No falling parts and the articulation is still there. But when you put the armors on the dummy, some of the parts are not tighly hold, but still ok. The BFG is really big! And when you do this pose, the gun can be locked on the chest, so it won't be flimsy and won't fall even the hands aren't in place. Group pics of the Gundams of Celestial Beings Thank you for viewing!!! ;D vic01

Great pictures of what look to be very nice figures. I wasn't sold on the designs initially, but they gradually grew on me as I saw them in the series, which I've enjoyed so far. Virtue's easily my favorite design of the four, and it looks to be the best figure of the bunch as well. EDIT: I was just looking at these on HLJ, and wow are they pricey. Virtue's 3800 yen, which is pretty crazy considering these things are about the size of a Revoltech (I think). I got my Lord of Byston Well Dunbine for that price, and that's a 7-8 inch figure with metal accessories and detail and style similar to a SIC figure. For the 2300 yen it costs to get an HCM Pro Exia, I'd rather opt for the 1/100 model kit of the same design (even if I don't have time to build and paint them anymore ). These HCM Pros *are* nicely detailed and poseable considering the 1/200 scale though.

Pics look good. I might have to get a couple of those and do some tweaks to them.

Hey Vic01,
I've got the Exia, Dynames, Kyrios and will be getting Virtue soon... I thought the clear Kyrios stand was only for flight mode, was there extra clear pieces for a MS mode stand?

Great pics. I like the Kyrios because it transforms. Will now think about getting the Virtue.

I know this is an old thread, but I only just found it, and I was blown away by the pictures-- Nice job, vic01! As an avid collector of the HCM Pro line, I have a bunch of the UC mobile suits and have only recently started picking up suits from Seed and 00. From 00, I have only the Exia and Dynames, and I'm seriously considering picking up the Virtue/Nadleeh.
Now, the Nadleeh is one of the more beautiful MS designs in my opinion (except for the hair/control cables), and the design of the figure seems to lend itself to high poseability. I have a concern about the groin/hip joints though. In a few pictures I've seen, it looks like the hip/groin joint is designed to swing out to the side. Is this to facilitate the Armored Virtue form, or is it to enhance the figures articulation? Also, the swinging hip joint looks kind of fragile. Is this the case, or is it pretty strong?
