7.5" Shadow Gundam

[Dieselboy M]

anyone else pick this up? i recently got the 7.5" burning and master gundams. i haven't wanted any of the previous 7.5" mobile fighters, but i had to have burning and master. they turned out as i expected - satisfactory. i got shadow out of excitement 'cause i didn't even know there was one being released. but, i'm not sure if i should open it, or get 15 bucks back.

I honestly do not know Diesel... Personally, the entire 7.5" line is a flop in my books. When Ban Dai released the initial description of these figures, I really thought they'd be mass produced Master Grade figures. Instead I pick one up (Rose, b/c it actually looks in proportion) and the figure has less articulation and range of motion than the 4.5" figure.

 

It could be though that Speigel there is the saving grace of this line, but I don't know. I haven't heard any reviews for that figure yet.

Even though Shadow G is my favorite character, but I passed on it. I felt the master Grade had a better representation of the character. Since there is no 1/100 model Rose, I may pick it up.

 

By the way, the 4.5 hyper versions of the shuffle alliance is out on ebay for $14.00 (buy it now option from ditoys). With the exception of Dragon Gundam, they all have the same equipment as the original release. Dragon doesn't have the arm extensions or staff weapon, only the corelander and the translucent wings(which looks pretty cool-although I don't know why the creators decided to use butterfly wings)
