Gundam RX-78GP03S Stamen
I’ve always wanted a 1/144 Dendrobium, but I guess the Gundam Fix Figuration #0034 RX-78GP03S Gundam Stamen would have to do for now. ^^ this GFF is a simplified version of the dendrobium designed by Hajime Katoki (who incidently kinda looks like Danny on the wikipedia image ^^). The GFF#0034’s package was around 3/4 the size of the GFF#0013. but as it turns out, the stamen when assembled was bigger. ^^ and though the GFF isn’t yet a full dendrobium, it definitely still is a must have for gundam fan out there.

comes with stands to keep the big engine and cannon from falling off. ^^
Back view, oh btw if you do decide to get one, do be carefull when screwing in those thrusters. I broke my stamen’s frame when putting on mine and had to use superglue to fix it. :p

the kit isn’t short on weapons as well, and has a side storage for them goodies. ^^

The kit looks great. Although it’s a simplified version of the original, Hajime and Bandai really did good job in simplifying the Dendrobium Orchis section. people who can afford to buy the the big one, can always buy the GFF. ^_^

hehe, the boosters/thrusters were really difficult to attach to the frame, the same thing happened to me.. though i still wonder… were do the thrusters get power or maybe even fuel from? there weren’t even propellant tanks like the deep striker.. hmmm.

Yasser, thanks! ^^
Gio, lol, the GP03S probably works as a amplifier and the gundam would need to pass wind to power them up. ^^;
