Robot Damashii Advanced GN-X

Robot Spirits, Robot Damashii GNX-604T

As the name says this is an advanced version of the GN-X suit, with some additional armour and weapons. This suit does not appear in the gundam 00 season 1 and season 2 anime, it was only mentioned in the 00V which, if I am not mistaken in story(words) format and some pictures. Well more info about this suit can be found here.

This figure's articulation is similar to the GN-X, with only a few extra moving parts, which is the two shield fins, (not sure what is their real name). The fins are able to rotate 360 and be poped off

The leg;s articulation is the same only the armour plates for the front and back is different from the GN-X.

 
Accessories:
1 x GN proto lance
1 x Weapon clip
2 x Open Hands
1 x Rifle Extension
1 x Sub Machine Gun
1 x Beam Saber
1 x Beam Saber Handle

Beam Saber can also be connected to the rifle extension

GN Proto lance attached to the clip

Sub Machine Gun can also be attached to the clip









This figure was one of my "Must Get" figures, as it was Cool, with the lance and extra armour of the GN-X. The first problem was that this figure was difficult to get. Due to its rarity the price had surged up dramatically for this figure and its counterpart the Deborah Custom Unit which is the same figure only that it is reddish pink colour instead of greyish blue. On ebay the set would cost you around RM1000, for the red one around RM500 and the blue guy is the cheapest. I found him at 6000 yen which is around RM 239.18 without shipping costs. Is he worth it?

Well, it really depends. If you are a hardcore collector and really want to collect them all, YES IF you can get him for the right price. Else save up for something .Sadly I cant get the Deborah's unit as it was out of my budget. but I should be happy with what I have haha.

A few problems I had with this figure is just the articulation, with the GN-X it was already limited and with the additional armours it didn't help as these armours are quite bulky and it gets in the way a lot of times. The GN proto lance is nice to see but hard to make a pose with it as it has very little holding space. All the joints are nice and tight, no complains in that area. From the few pictures above you might noticed that it suffers from the same defect as GN-X and Cherudim if you have one, where the plastic is turning reddish.

Overall this is a nice figure, I kinda like it as a display piece in my collection.
