G.F.F Banshee Norn Part II ... ...

Living up to the true spirit of a Singaporean, I shall not rest on my laurels and simply leave things as they are.

I've taken out Banshee Norn for another round of shoots with features I have missed from the earlier post.

G.F.F 1013 Banshee Norn ... ...

I've been resisting the temptation to get anymore Gundam related figures and Gundam Fix Figuration (G.F.F) is one of those I told myself to stop getting as I still have many left unboxed in my cabinets. Then, Bandai came up with G.F.F Metal Composite version of various iconic Gundams. They look fantastic and so are their price tags. Thus, I have resisted well thus far.

Until this came along, the Unicorn Gundam 02, Banshee Norn. More information here.

Really Xtreme Full Armor Unicorn ... ...

Gundam is under Bandai's newly improved Gundam Fix Figuration (G.F.F) line now known as Next Generation G.F.F.N. The RX-0 Unicorn is based on the Unicorn Gundam novel.

Bandai retains the original packaging for G.F.F and the only addition is the card (left) that briefly explains the origin of the Gundam).

More info is stated behind and this is again typical of all the G.F.F packaging. The number for the figure also followed on from the previous releases.

The pleasant surprise and greatest improvement to me is Bandai has finally got rid of the twist ties! They are replaced by the tray lid which effectively holds everything in place.

Basic figure is in Destroy mode and there isn't any transformation allowed to the Unicorn mode.

Standard armaments will include a shield and a beam Magnum but this is not the reason why I bought this.

Beam saber x 4

Articulation offered here is pathetic and do not expect too much of any dynamic pose from this.

So why did I buy it? Let's get Unicorn here to show you the rest of his toys. First up is the Hyper Bazooka x 2 and it's loaded with a grenade launcher and loads of grenades.

Beam Gatling Gun x 6

 Rocket Boosters

Display stand with name as standards 

Everything fits neatly onto the propulsion unit at the back inclusive of the huge rocket boosters.

This gundam is not called Full Armor for nothing as it really packs quite a load full of armaments. Well, this item is rather pricey but I am not taking a risk of looking high and low for it at a later time. The logic is also simple; I can always let it go at half price.

Recommendation: Get it if you really like what you see.

unPLANned ... ...

but just wanted to justified this magnificent creation. The Gundam Fix Figuration #0013 - MSA-0011-3[Bst] PLAN303E DEEP STRIKER.

A mouthful to the name but the size justified it all. This was one of the first few GFFs that I was searching high and low for. Then Bandai did a reissue and I bought my second piece. However, due to space constraint, I sold off the reissued piece and kept this which I paid much more for.

There are 4 variations you can create out of the packaging but I prefer the Deep Striker for its fantastic engineering.
