The Dark Side of Gunpla

Okie - this might be very subjective here...very subjective (like my views on how the Star Wars licensing has been handled). But I've started to try out some third-party Gundam kits (as in not by Bandai). While some might be "OMG, KOs" I am a little more pragmatic because some models, Bandai ain't gonna make. >.<
Because of that, I've gotten a few different kits - the Model Comprehend RX-105 Ξ Gundam (ahem, Gundoom; and considering the price of the GFF and Robot Damashii Ver Ka. Signature figures - this is a bargain) and the Dragon Momoko 1/144 Gundam Geminass Unit 1 (still should be Gemini Gundam since it was designed by OZ), the 1/100 MG Akatsuki, MG Skygrasper w/ Aile Strike and the Tallgeese I (which has the Glory of the Losers' lance and halberd). Been working with Gemini Gundam so far and other than the arm-to-shoulder connection being a little loose (though to be honest, that sometimes happens on Bandai kits, too) has been a fun build. ^^ Next I'd like to get the MG Sword Strike and Launcher kit from Dragon Momoko to complete a Perfect Strike Gundam. Am interested in the DM AGE-1 Sparrow and AGE-1 Razor since they are both better than their Bandai counterparts. :P
In other news, CoroCoro has just revealed Pokemon #722 - Magiana. Looks like a dolled up version of Klink, Klank and Kilnklang. :P We are supposed to see more with the movie about Volcanion. Just hope I don't have to go through a load of hoops and all to get it. Speaking of hoops, it's been a pain to get codes for Mew for all four copies of my Gen VI games. Unlike the first Diancie distribution where the gal in Atlanta's GameStop let me get two codes from her, I could only get one code per GameStop. Thankfully when I was getting two codes, I was able to stop at two GameStops in VA Beach. :P Hopefully I get get most of them via Mystery Gift as they come out. If not, I have extra Diancie and Hoopas to trade for them.
Just don't get me started on how these giveaways don't have their signature moves (no Doom Desire for Jirarchi, no V-Create for Victini, etc.)...real annoying. >.<

BTW, have you seen the G-Tekketsu models out current? Even the 1/144 scale models have a functioning inner frame on them.
Here's the 1/100 scale Gundam Gusion (also comes with the Rebake as well) - for being such a tubbo, this guy can really move. :P http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2016/.....rebake_14.html
