Robot Damashii GN-X

The Robot Damashii or Robot Spirits
GNX-603T , GN-X

Also known as jinx this mobile suit comes from the Gundam 00 series. It only appeared somewhere towards the end of season 1 as a counter attack on Celestial Being ( where my blog names come from ) and they did a very good job at that, since the gundam meisters was almost wiped out. This suits a powered by fake GN drive which emits red GN-particles. More history on the GN-X can be found here.

The Figure

Front

Side

Back

The head is on a double ball joint. However the articulation is limited due to the design of the armour.

Shoulders are on ball joints connecting to the torso, the grey piece is slightly movable. Elbow is on a hinged joint at the above picture shows the maximum angle. Hands are on a ball joint.

This shows the maximum angle on how far the arms can stretch out. It can rotate 360 without any problems

Torso, no joints

Torso is connected to the waist through something, sorry I have yet to know the term for this joint. That joint is not easily separated and only allows it to rotate 360.
The two big grey skirts are connected to the front skirt via the white piece with both ends being ball joint.

Legs, Ball joint from leg to waist, hinged knee, ball joint ankle.

Accessories

1 x Beam Saber handle
1 x Sub-machine Gun 
2 x Open hands
1 x Rifle gun attachment
1 x Shield

Some Poses


unpainted shield




Attached the rifle part to the sub-machine gun and you get one awesome looking gun.
This also helps improve the range of the gun in the anime.



It took me a while to get my hands on this figure, as I missed many many opportunities to buy this guy as I ran out of budget. Also I was a little reluctant to buy this off ebay as it costs ALOT. Luckily I managed to find one for a reasonable price of 3500 yen around RM 139 give or take.Is it worth it? Well if you can find it for a decent price I say go for it.
Mine does not come with the reissued shield, which I can live without.

Being a 2011 Release, this figure has very few articulations, I guess mainly the because of the design and it is a slight up grade of the GN-X III figure, which I will do a review on in a much much later time. Although the articulations are limited the figure is still nice and fun to pose with. The only issues with the figure is that mine comes with a very very very lose ankle joint  so any push and this guy will topple. And the plastic used for the arm and feet are turning red/pinkish, this applies to my Cherudim, and other GN-X figures. Not sure of the cause of this problem might be the chemicals in the plastic or some other things. If you do know please tell me.

Else thats all and thank you for reading.
