Robot Damashii - O Gundam

Robot Damashii - O Gundam

I like O Gundam that appear in the last 2 or 3 episodes of Gundam 00 anime - battling to the death with Gundam Exia R2...

This is the only Gundam designed by Kunio Okawara in Gundam 00 anime and in my opinion; it is cool... I'm so in love with it as much as I love Strike Gundam and the SWS...

They said classic is gold... having watching lots of modern design in Gundam 00 anime, I was so surprised to suddenly see the appearance of O Gundam... and the moment I saw it, I said to my self, that design looks so familiar, looks so classic... cool, very cool...

This is my first Robot Damashii figure and I wonder how good it is... so let's have a look at this item now;

The box...

Out of the box...

These 2 papers showing about a special stand for Robot Damashii items and also product information on O Gundam.

All the contents... the O Gundam, 2 extra chase part (atthena?), beam rifle, extra forehead part (horn), 2 pairs of extra hands, a beam saber, normal back pack, GN-Drive back pack and of coz the simple but lovely shield...

The O Gundam body...

Overall, everything is excellent so far...

Let's see the joint system on the elbow and the knee...

And we also should highlight about the foot... absolutely nice... I don't think the 1/144 HG kit can do the same on it's foot... this one here is magnificent... I am full of praise of this particular Robot Damashii product... brilliant...

See, to pose like this is never a problem...

Now to the back pack (normal version and GN Drive version)... you can always choose and switch it according to your mood... very nice...

And now the hands part... this how they designed it... no complain from me... very nice...

O Gundam - front view...

OK, let's see some action and some posing... I love this part... we start with the beam rifle...

Let's see some outdoor action...

OK, now we move on to the beam saber...

Some outdoor photos...

Another thing I would like to highlight here is the shield... I love the simplicity and the effectiveness of the design of this shield...

This how it look like at the back...

You can lift that handle there...

And this is how you attach it into the arm.. no problem, very easy and very stable, wont fall down easily like the one on that 1/100 MG Sinanju...

Now let's see the size factor... on this photo, you can see my previous GFF and MSIA items together with the Robot Damashii... sorted accordingly from left to right...

MSIA is the shortest of them all, about 4 inch, GFF and Robot Spirit is almost the same with 1/144 HG kit scale (about 5 inch or 12cm - somewhere near there)

Direct height comparison between 1/144 HG Gundam Exia and Robot Damashii O Gundam...

Gundam Exia a little taller by just a few milimeter...

See... about 12cm or 5 inch...

OK, last but not least... let's see the "classic touch" that I love so much...

This is 1/100 MG RX-78-2 Gundam (OYWV) - look at the head, the face and the chest part...
