Update Review: Gundam Collection DX #8 Box Set

Can't afford the full blown models or detailed larger figures of Gundam? Then get your hands on any Gundam Gashpon blind box you can find.

Honestly these are the best damn detailed figures (next to Robotech Pencil Sharpeners) that I have seen. I really want to know how in the hell they get that paint onto the figures so nicely. I wish I could of gotten a better head shot as they even paint the eyes on these. 

These figures also average about 2" (or 52mm) in height. Each comes with a stand that will have the figure standing or flying depending on what it is doing. In this box case, there are 2 variations of GN-0000, MSZ-006C1 (Bst), F91 AND LM314V23/24 and one special of RX-0. Some are just color differences while others are the wings.

I got these for my son specially because of the colors and variety in the box. If you have a chance to pickup a case of ANY blind box Gundam figures, it will always be money well spent.

Here is where my son is with his Gundam DX# 8 collection. He has been awarded 4 so far and has had fun putting them together. I also super glue the parts together so that he does not lose any pieces.

MSZ-006C1 (Bst)
GN-00000
Out of the full box of nine random boxes, he has 4 of them. He has both different versions of the LM314V23/24 right now. Today he got a GN-0000 and a MSZ-006C1 (Bst). 

He was suppose to pick one for me, but he wanted the that one too. Here are the shots of the 2 figures he got today. 





What was really cool about this was when everything was done today, he wanted to place them all with my 2 GFF figures. Now we are starting a Gundam family! 


Gundam Family

Does anyone else share their hobbies with their sons, daughters or other family members?

I may not post much this week as my wife is out of town in training. Between my late work schedule and having someone keep an eye on my son, time will definitely be scarce this week.

  2. I hear you on being busy, I've fallen behind in a lot of blogs I enjoy reading. Plus I just shipped off my laptop to be repaired. My blogging activity will be dropping off a bit. It's also because taking pictures and making eBay listings takes a while too. I really want to sell off my collection at a steady stream.

  3. GN-00000 is nice with the hangar like diorama. Damn, I have none of your Gundam collection. Ha! Ha! Yes, I do share my hobby with my kids by letting them play some of my toys but under really watchful eyes. Hee! Hee!
