1996 Sazabi toy


This is my first gundam guys, I bought this when I was in my first year of college...and that was back in 1996...ok,ok I'm kinda old. hehehe...I bought this alongside a gp02. I gave the gp02 to a nephew though, not really interested with the design at that time, plus it cannot hold it's shield on it's own.
This is a huge gundam toy, almost as tall as a PG and is very bulky. It has good articulation that snaps much like leader class transformers toys and has really good painting and detail all over the toy. It also came with lots of accessories that I got lazy to look for, like beam sabers and such. Here are the pics...
Size comparison betwen this Sazabi toy and a MG Sinanju...




You see, the Sazabi is huge, the toy is made up of thick hard plastic...and the joint sof plastic rubber similar to transformers toys....

Here are more pics...






Articulation is fairly ok, considering it's bulk...the MG Sazabi aint that articulated too...

Even the undersides have details and the articulation of the legs are very good...except that you won't able to balance it due to it's weight if you give it a dynamic pose like a running pose...


The hands like most of the rubbery parts are well sculpted...

The back pack weapon opens and reveals six missile type weapons, those can be individually detached and are very detailed...




The boosters under the feet are individually movable and are made of rubber plastic...notice that the metal screws has rusted already...

Thanks for viewing! :)

  3. just got this 1/60 toy from ebay, and i'm really proud of it. funny thing, i also got the 1/60 gp02 toy. i also prefer the sazabi to gp02. the sazabi has that majestic presence. i kinda disappointed with the beam riffle. i wish it could be semiliar to the 1/100 conversion riffle kit from the core works. is there anyone would do a tutorial for the riffle? i would be really appreciate it. also is it possible to modify a toy like this? i like the proportion of the 1/100 conversion, i would like to know how to increase the hight, size etc. in case anyone's curious about the 1/100 conversion. this is a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve_l0Xe9QAA. its from vegeta8259 another fellow modeller.
