![]() Now the franchise is full of new, parallel timelines like After Colony, After War, and Post Disaster. G Gundam’s gambit would be so successful that setting Gundam series in alternate timelines has practically become the norm, so to speak. G Gundam opening the door to new timelines would allow the Gundam series to breathe a little more and not be so beholden to the previously established events in the Universal Century series. ![]() ![]() Many changes behind the scenes would result in the next official Gundam series, Yasuhiro Imagawa’s Mobile Fighter G Gundam, being set in a new timeline, “Future Century.” The Future Century timeline offers up a vision of space that sees colonies settling their political disputes every four years in the gladiatorial “Gundam Fight.” Mobile Suit Victory Gundam was the fourth official Gundam series and its conclusion marked the end of the franchise’s long-running “Universal Century” timeline. So get ready, because whether you’re a Newtype or a complete newbie to the Gundam world, here are the 15 Things You Didn’t Know About Mobile Fighter G Gundam. Those that do give the series their time are often surprised at its impressive draw. However, this is truly a shame in a lot of ways because G Gundam happens to be one of the more experimental, ambitious Gundam series out there. ![]() Mobile Fighter G Gundam is one of these titles that has seen a complicated relationship with its fanbase and never quite experienced the mainstream success of other series. Many of the bigger Gundam hits, such as Gundam Wingor Iron-Blooded Orphans, can make a name for themselves and stand out amongst the crowd, but there are many other gems that have fallen to the wayside. The brand has led to the creation of so many manga, anime, toy lines, and other ancillary streams that it can often be difficult to stay on top of the growing franchise. The Gundam series has been rejuvenating the face of mech series ever since it blasted off nearly 40 years ago. The regular price in Japan is 1,450 Yen each (according to HLJ: Gundam RX-78-2, God Gundam), but if you do get to see them, I really recommend them.The Gundam franchise has proven to be one of the most resilient properties in all of Japan. It's much simpler as compared to Tamashii Nation's Robot Damashii series, but being a prize item set, it may be hard to find in certain places, so the price may not be pretty as well. God Gundam ( mecha setting: 16.6 meter) is taller and bigger than Gundam RX-78-2 ( mecha setting: 18 meter) ^^ Īnyway, this Humable Model series from Banpresto is an extremely worthwhile Gundam action figure series to get in my opinion. Too bad the chest panel doesn't come with the hatch open function to show the King of Hearts crest inside, else the pose would be perfect ^^ Īnd that's why I said it's not exactly in 1/144 scale in Part 3. ^^ Some of the moves are able to show the moves from the anime, especially "Sekiha Tenkyoken" very well. ^^ īut on top of these weaknesses, some of God Gundam's poses turn out to be really cool, especially when a display stand is included. And it doesn't help at all when the forearm guard would pop off sometimes when I'm adjusting the poses of the arm. ^^ God Gundam on the other hand, belongs to the more "Super Robot" category of the Gundam Universe, and its articulation is extremely human-like in the TV series, so it becomes a disappointment when the figure doesn't move as well.Īlso, after a while, I can feel that the joints of the wings on the backpack are somewhat loosening, especially the top two pieces which would slide downwards when I move the figure. As an UC unit, the movement of Gundam RX-78-2 is confined within a limitation of mechanical logic, but since Banpresto's prize item version could move a lot more, the figure becomes extremely awesome. Also, I believe mentality could be an issue as well. The later does have the "benefit" of having less bulky parts on its body that would limit its articulation. So, I can't say God Gundam's action poses are as great as Gundam RX-78-2. ![]() The shoulder armors would collide with the wings of the backpack when you rotate them upwards, and the ankle guards really prevent him from posing much "on land" ^^ While they are exactly the same as the ones used by Gundam RX-78-2, various parts on God Gundam limit the articulation range of the figure. The limitations of God Gundam's joints mentioned yesterday are quite a toll to its action poses. ![]()
