The previously reviewed GFF 0018 Gundam Alex doesn’t have the Chobham armor attachments however it does have parts to change the GFF to the RX-78-4 Gundam G04.
the Gundam G04  is almost identical to the red G05 except that it carries a Hyper Beam Cannon instead of a Gattling gun.
The GFF requires a  lot of parts to be replaced but is quite easy to snap fit and turn into the G04.
one thing I found strange though was the beam rifle saber, it looks like it’s blinking out and running low on power. ^^;

imo the gundam looks much better in this form. it’s almost as if this GFF was meant to be released as the G04 rather than the Alex. also holding true to the Katoki tradition, this gundam is full of those wonderful and elegantly placed marking that we all love.
anyway here are a few more shots of the G04.

the Gundam Alex is another RX-78 series gundam however built specifically optimized for newtype pilots and is probably the first mobile suit with a panoramic cockpit.
as Bandai promised the new Gundam Alex seem more flexible than the old one,

I remember blogging about this a while back, wonder why I can’t find the post anymore, must have been lost during my first hacking incident. in any case check out this wooden gundam. (warning keep away from high humidity and termites). ^^ knew about it for a while now, but thought it was a limited edition gundam. in any case it is available at Yesasia for a measly US$665.99. ^^; also available at Plamoya for US$588.85

also Check out the limited edition Setsuna figure for US$359.99. “Boku wa Takai!”
