Got this toy at Dollar World at Knoxville Town Center. Used up most of my loose coinage to get it. At first I thought it was based on the Mobile Suit in Action RX-78, but it's a little too big...it scales at 1/150th. The figures come molded in black or white, but the paint application and stickers are the same for both colors.

It's posability is awful, and the ankle joints are so loose that it tends to fall backward. It has a gimmick--there is a button on the butt that is supposed to cause an LED bulb in the chest to light up. On mine, either the watch batteries were dead or the wires on the LED were corroded. I have since stripped the batteries and light "fixture" from the toy and reassembled it.

The plan? Add more joints to the upper legs and upper arms, and do other cosmetic mods. My original plan was to buy a bunch of them and rebuild them as various flavors of GM--I may still do that. I've got plenty of Gundams in my collection, but few of the supporting-cast Mobile Suits other than Guncannon.
