Here's a couple of very dusty kits that I boxed up and recently dug up this afternoon.

The first is a HG 1/100 Serpent Custom. This was part of the buy-1-take-1 promo in SM a long time ago where if you bought a MG kit, you get a free HG 1/100 kit.





-------------------------------

This one is an old-style HG 1/44 kit of the ZZ gundam. As you can see, as opposed to the newer kits, this gundam is in mint-green. Majority of the parts that should be white are in mint green.

Yes, it transforms to all 3 modes, has a core fighter, has translucent green plastic for the eyes (ala-1/100) and has a major structural flaw in its knees -- that's why I just keep it standing in mech mode.

The 1/100 Endless Waltz series didnt appeal that good to me in the past. Now, I might consider collecting them! ;D

About 4 years ago, the promo was that if you buy an MG kit, you get a 1/100 Endless Waltz kit. Since napagpilian na yun kits, you can't find any Talgese III or Wing Zero or Deathscythe Hell Custom.

I bought a MG Char's Zaku and dug up a Serpent Custom as the "take one". I was lucky coz on a retail, the Serpent Custom was the same price as a Talgese III which cost more than Char's Zaku hehehe.

Serpent custom has 4 weapons -- a couple of gatling guns ala-gundam heavy arms, a long beam cannon and a huge bazooka thingy. The pics I have has the beam cannon and bazooka mounted at the back. I don't remember how to mount the gatling guns to the back though....

After 4 years the kit is kindda wobbly already and brittle. The missle racks at the shoulder armour refused to open at first. I'm tempted to pannel line the kit....if I manage to find the assembly manual which I might have thrown away...

Thanks for viewing!

You are lucky! That kit is scarce in the market already! ;D

Here's something for the Gouf fans!

MSiA Gouf Custom! Found in TK SM Mkti (for P699.75).

I don't have much free time to put together a MG Gouf Custom nor have the spare cash to get one, so an MSiA Gouf Custom is quite a find for me!

Pics of the box:


The box opens differently....here's what you get when you open it:


Accessories include that huge gatling gun/sheild combo, that grenade launcher thing on the hand, the sword, a regular sheild, 1 cable w/ open grapler and 1 w/ closed grapler and 2 open hands to hold stuff.


The Gouf Custom weighs heavier than the Destiny or Strike Freedom -- I guess they don't make MSiA the way they used to. The fig is stiff and stable. Here's a pic of the Gouf w/ the big gun standing on a pillow.


As you can see, the weight gives it a center of gravity that allows it to stand on a pillow even with the weapon arm extended:


Here's a different angle on the weapon:


As you can see, the left leg is where the weight of the fig is. That's where the point of balance is when fully arming the fig.


That's all for now for the MSiA Gouf Custom! Quite a find I should say!

Here's one for the Zeta Fans!

HGUC Zeta Gundam (1/44 kit)!

Here attached with the HyperMegaCannon + it's gun mounted at the back:


The HGUC Zeta can actually hold the huge gun and not tip over. Here's a close-up:


Here's something you don't get to see often: HGUC Gundam right beside a Kahen-Senshi Titan's Zeta Gundam:


Close ups of the Titan's Zeta:




That's it for the Zeta right now. I'd like to get a EMSiA Zeta one of these days and compare it with what I have. Maybe one day I'll be able to post a pic of an EMSiA beside my GFF Zeta, HGUC Zeta and KS Zeta

[Uberjam]

nice gouf custom ;D we both have the same problem with the gatling shield weight. nasa left leg nga yun center of gravity nya. pero ok ahh... nakatayo sa unan hehehe.

btw its 3-barrelled machine gun not a bazooka thingy FYI lang for a fellow gouf custom owner ;D

one more thing, i think you can't mount the serpent custom's gatling guns on its back... yun bazooka at beam cannon lang ang pwede.

[RAJ-]

ZETA!!!~ *faints*

(over-load sa ganda!)

[Daycot]

Cool comparisons dude! ;D Makes me want to get a Zeta! ;D

Not really sure...could be a variation from a video game or something....
