Yeah.I know on most of the models you can take their helmet off and pose their eye.I'll have to post a picture of how it works.

The real grade has it so that when you turn the head, the eye moves with it.

Other grades have it too,but in a different way.It's a cheap way,but adds some more character to the Zaku.

Actually it started as a trilogy of Sega Saturn games first. The 1st & 2nd game were compiled into the manga but that's it. It was available in the US a long time ago and actually some of the plot from the the 3rd game made it's way into MSG Encounters in Space for PS2. The final battles are even animated as opposed to CG.

That is sweet! I always loved those old Zaku's, you could do some customizing to just a basic model it was fantastic.

Ah. Still xD

just built him, an awesome kit, but thanks to the color of the plastic it makes hiding sprew marks almost impossible

I need to watch more Gundam. I have a whole bunch of it. I did start watching Wing but stopped(for no real reason) just before Epyon is introduced. I was into the model kits for a while. Then I got into toku stuff and Gundam models sort of took a back seat. I still get that model kit itch every once in a while.

Deathscythe is by far my favorite. If they ever make a PG Deathscythe Hell Custom, it is SO bought.

To each his own. I was tired of seeing Gundam fiction that was BSing themselves as being "hard sci-fi" yet falling into almost predictable templates of psychics and mecha and two sides that aren't really wrong...just opposed blah blah blah.

I respect the fact that the OO team went full-fledged to break the mold by introducing a radically different take on truly Alien life rather than go with some Macross-flavored BS and still relevant with the overarching theme that people can change and peace can be attained if ulterior motives are put aside in place of actual understanding.

I'm probably going to piss off plenty of people for saying this but as a person that has seen the Original series, 08th MS Team, Stardust Memories, War in a Pocket , G Gundam, F91 and a little of Wing and SEED/Destiny, OO is probably the most compelling series of the bunch both story and design wise. And I HATED it at the beginning because I thought it was just another take on the Wing formula.

Sorry it's just that movie copped out so hard on any actual plot. Oh there're aliens! They want to assimilate Earth. Setsuna, travel to their homeworld blah blah blah friendship. Giant flower floating in space? Yup that happened. Pointless 50 years later epilogue is also pointless.

I love OO the series. I thought season 1 was great and season 2 was fantastic. But the movie was really unnecessary. Which makes me really sad because I was incredibly pumped for it at the time :(

How it works is the black disk the monoeye is on can spin.You just take the helmet off and move it.
