Robot Tamashii Crossbone Gundam X-2 Custom

This is the review of Robot Tamashii Crossbone Gundam X-2 Custom.

The price is 3,800 yen (about SGD 62.00) before adding the shipment charges.

The box...




Out of the box...





You will get all these stuff....




The Gundam...




Zan Buster, Beam Saber, Heat Dagger, Brand Marker, Buster Launcher, Shot Lancer, and Beam Shield. Its mantle is also provided, along with optional hands....







2 heads to choose...





I prefer this one.... with red mouth...




The usual spin....











Details sculpt and design is what you could expect from Robot Tamashii - quite decent but not much decals if compared to GFF/GFFN series by Katoki.

I personally believe that the Robot Tamashii is an improved version from the combination of MSIA and HCM Pro series....






Articulation is good though this guy can't really do the usual kneeling pose due to the restriction from the front skirt armor....




But apart from that everything else is quite good....




Without further delay.... let's do some action pose with all the weapons.... first the Shot Lancer....






Next is the Brand Maker....




Ugly cutting/nub marks spotted there.... seems to be normal phenomenon nowadays with all this figures made in the mainland factory.... you know what I mean....







Very cool but Bandai only give 1 unit of that thing.... sigh....






The knife... or Heat Dagger - they provide that gimmick where you can take out the handle from the calf but that's about it....





This is it....




And they provide you with 1 proper knife.... only 1 ?






In fact, according to the actual Crossbone Gundam spec, there are 4 of this knife (Heat Dagger) - 2 stored on the calf and another 2 on the foot....





But on this figure.... you have to make do with that 1 unit that Bandai gave you.... how generous...




The usual shooting weapon.... Buster Gun.... phew phew phew... boom....





You can combine it with the Beam Zanber handle to become Zan Buster....




Phew, phew, phew.....






The beam shield......




Beam Zanber....






Beam saber also just 1 unit - and just like the Robot Tamashii Strike Freedom Gundam - an extremely long beam saber that is more suitable for a bigger size figure in the 1/100 scale....







Last but not least the anti-beam coating cloak or the mantle with the Buster Launcher on his right hand... this is sure looks cool....






Overall, this is another fun action figures for collectors and fans who don't do GunPlaMo kits (in fact there is none for this dark purple model) with decent price. The only complain we have is those cutting/nub marks here and there and the stinginess of Bandai for just giving 1 Brand Marker and 1 Heat Dagger.... Bandai should at least give 2 units each.... but they don't....


We have the white "Crossbone Ver. Ka" but out of randomness, it has been modified to be "Crossbone Ver. Ka Shewsbury Custom"....









With this dark purple model (X-2 Custom) I can always compare the original design and our crazy modified version....
