Gundam Week Day 7: MSIA RX-79(G) Ez-8 Gundam
The final day of Gundam Week ends with a bang, as Shiro Amada wages war with Zeon in the Ez-8 Gundam! This Gundam is from the OVA 08th MS Team, one of my favorite series of the Gundam Franchise. As for this figure it's practically 100% accurate to what its based on however it does have the common flaw of pieces easily being lost, broken or warped. Luckily for me I only have like 3 small issues with this figure after owning it for over a decade. I plan to buy kits of this if there is any and do plan to possibly cover them in future reviews.

Gundam Week Day 6: MSIA Gouf & DO-DAI YS
Ramba Ral appears in his Zaku... I mean his Gouf while riding the DO-DAI YS for Day 6. Anyways based off the Zaku II, painted blue and given thicker armor attachments. Its left hand is a lazer blaster, and right arm carrys Heat Rods Whips able to cut into a Gundam. It was seen early on as a huge threat to the Gundam and White Base, until Amuro was able to kick into his Newtype abilities. This figure however comes with a few Heat Rod coils, a Shield, and its Sword along for a spare hand to hold it. I'm glad I got it, but which I culd've gotten the Gouf Custom from the 08th MS Team a whole lot more!

Gundam Week Day 5: MSIA Char's Z'Gok
Day 6 of Gundam Week and Char has returned, spotting his Z'Gok! Char debut this custom when the White Base was stationed at Jaburo. This custom as usual was fast than the regular Z'Gok and was painted in Char Red. The figure however is amazing, even thou it looks pink-ish. But however this doesn't come with accessories except spar claws, just it doesn't change the fact it's a cool mobile suit. This crustacean-based mecha is one of the best and I plan to eventually get some high-grades of these types.

Gundam Week Day 4: MSIA Char's Zaku II
The Red Comet, Char Aznable has arrived to Gundam Week, spotting his Zaku II Custom! This MSIA has basic points of articulation, with four amazing accessories. First up, is the basic Zaku Rifle and Heat Axes used by all Zakus. Then it has the long range rifle, and average mobile suit bazooka. Even thou this figure is the basic Char Zaku II, it truely does attract alot of attention to it. It amazing shade of red always catches everyone's eye, even the likelys of the White Base!

Gundam Week Day 3: MSIA Guntank
Day 3, and we're on to one of my personal favorites the Guntank! It original was a two man operated mobile suit, that was piloted by Hayato Kobayashi and Ryu Jose. But later on after Ryu's death Hayato piloted it solo. This figure is great with one huge flaw thou however, it's treads don't move at all. Since it can't roll on its own it quite horrible indeed, such as wheelchair that still uses bicycle tires. Anyways the figure is wonderful, mostly thou as a paper weight so I guess the model kit would be better.

Gundam Week Day 2: MSIA Guncannon
Day 2 of Gundam Week, and today it's the Guncannon Mobile Suit! This was piloted by several people on White Base, mostly Kai. It the original American dub Richard Cox voice Kai, a voice sharing that of Bit Cloud from Zoids. Anyways this Mobile Suit came with a Beam Rifle and two sets of shoulder cannons. Still as of today, I enjoy this figure for what it was and what it is. For the fact it's an amazing Mobile Suit, with a firery red paint job and cannons that can blow anything that stands in its way to kingdom come.

Gundam Week Day 1: MSIA RX-78 & G-Armor
Starting off Gundam Week is the MISA RX-78 and G-Armor pack. This was released somewhere around 2002 to 2003 here in the states. It came with a better mold of the RX-78 Gundam, alogn with several better made accessories. The Beam Sabers were thicker, and the Javelin had more spikes. Along that it had the extra shield, more paint apps and a Core Fighter. The G-Armor itself too is really nice, as its treads actually work unlike earlier Gundam toys using treads. Justt like most MISA's these toys become very loose jointed and begin to fall apart on themselves. However even after all these years I still love and enjoy this representation of the RX-78 and G-Armor.
