Tomopop Review: DX Break Impact God Gundam by Banpresto


11:00 AM on 04.10.2011


G-Gundam is a lot of things. One of the more divisive series of the Gundam franchise, G-Gundam is best known for its outrageous stereotypical designs and fusion of super and real-type mecha. It's a series that's in my conversation for best of the franchise, so I tend to collect quite a bit of the titular mecha. That said, I needed to have the DX Break Impact version of the God Gundam.

It's been a while since I've done a Gundam review and it's a bit different from the Gunpla I'm used to reviewing, for example, the HGFC God Gundam (reviewed). A dynamic fixed-pose figure of a Gundam isn't something that's released often, but Banpresto sought to change that with its Break Impact line.

In that spirit, let's do something different, as today's review is going to be video. Hit the jump to check it out!

Figure Name: Break Impact DX God Gundam
Figure Maker: Banpresto
Retail Price: ¥1,450
Available at Hobby Link Japan
Note: These figures were originally released in November 2010



Thank you to Hobby Link Japan for providing this sample for review!

I don't really mind the greenish paint, it still looks nice. And that pose with the King of Hearts coming out of the hand is awesome. I might buy one, I mean for just 1.5K yen this looks great.
Meh, could have used a lot more close-ups during the vid.

Looks like a decent piece although I'd probably opt for an articulate god gundam. The massive perk is that cool god fist thingy.

Practice your puppeteering and pre-order this Yoshino

[NSFW] Yuna Tachibana returns after some time in the sun

Last summer we took a look at a rather interesting young lady from the ero-manga Tsundero, which honestly still sounds more like a Mexican restaurant than a trashy porn. Somehow, she's popular enough to warrant an upcoming re...
