Gundam Heads

(Gundam(73)
Thu 2008/12/18 09:48
Many cool Gundam designs out there but have been wondering whether you would buy just the head? I personally prefer to have the whole body too. Would not mind having this though - especially if the cockpit opens to fit a figma ^^; This Nu Gundam head is quite cool too.

These Gundam heads spotted at the Sakuraya Hobby Kan in Shinjuku last Sunday-ish.

Same here lol, Exia Bust would be very cool on my desk ^_^
I've seen some really detailed ones that all open up like that NU GUNDAM one, they look brilliant.

And if I remember correctly they were fan-made and not done by Bandai?
Anyone else remember them?

Well anyways I would by an Exia one, Anything from Wing ^_^
Would have to be head and bust though!

Hmm but the head will be interesting if you combine it with miniatures human figures to create a diorama...
About fitting a figma into a mecha's cockpit, for Gundam, the 1/12 one should match the figma height. Cheaper alternative for 1/12 Gundam is 1/12 Votoms action figure http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT34430

It seems rather like a kabuto display.  
Would fit into my collection pretty well, I think.

Though a full size Gundam head would also make an interesting display... if one has a nice large gallery to put it in...  ヽ(´ー`)┌

I don't see a point in buying just a head. I'm not a big enough Gundam fan that I can even tell the difference between them anyway.

I might. But I would also require a cardboard box, an open field that in the middle of nowhere, and a Gundam fan that will say "What is in the box?!" while another Gundam fan that dislikes these kind of items opens up the box and realize in horror what it is.

Because that would be my final and greatest plan and people would remember from that point on.

Hi everyone. I have been a long time reader, but only just decided to join in, so be gentle with me.  : )

It would be good to have the body that would go with the head.

When I visited Japan I did get a Gundam head, but with a differnce, it was like a rubbic cube.

I think the most important part of the Gundam is the head.  It tells the enemies the status of the Gundam.  If it was a dorky square box...I think the enemies will laugh at you and use you as a shooting target (though it could be used as a strategy I suppose).  I think as important as a unit is, the head should be the most important part.  I wish you could have gundam models where you just build the head ^_^.

I agree with Danny, would like to have it with the body as well... If it could fit a Figma, that'd be cool!

But just the heaed, no way... Unless it's as big as my head and I could wear it... Then maybe...

Hmmm... Ionno it kinda feels pointless to have just a head. I mean when I own a gundam I want to pose it and not just stare at it. Although it would be awesome if it was big enough to fit a figma. Now only if they made gundam pilot figmas...
