Athrun Zala G.E.M. Megahouse Gundam Seed Destiny HD Remaster Project

Just arrived today! Athrun Zala G.E.M. Series from Megehouse. SOOO COOL. Gundam Seed/Destiny are some of my favourite series so I'm really excited to get this. Much nicer quality than the original RAHDX figure of him. Tracking said it was going to be delivered today so I waited around for hours and the delivery man didn't arrive until 1. Turned out his van broke down and had to be repaired. Anyway, I had to start work at 2 so I didn't have enough time to take outside shots but, I'll get around to them tomorrow I think. For now I'll show you a few pictures I took when opening him up for the first time.

His head actually has a ball point joint in the neck so his head can swivel around which is pretty awesome. His hand on the arm reaching out can rotate around so if you want him to be holding the Haro you can. Two haros come with this figure, both the same colour but one has it's little 'wing's spread out and has a mustache drawn on his face (like the one Lacus draws in the show) and the other one has no mustache and it's 'wings' in. There are also two faces that you can put on Athrun. One is a more serious one but the other one has him smiling a little which is nice. The Base is somewhat basic but well done. At first in the pictures I thought he looked a little different than the show but since I've got him I think this figure was done really well. It's great to have another male figure in the collection. Too few of them I reckon.

This is the first pre order figure ever (That I didn't cancel) and it came from Amiami. Also the first time I've purchased from them so that was all pretty exciting as well. I've got Lacus pre ordered (She was supposed to come out with Athrun but got delayed until the end of November :( but yeah I'm pretty excited to get her and I'm REALLY excited for the Kira Yamato figure coming out next year. I can't wait to finally have a proper figurine of Kira in my collection. Up until now I've only had the I-doll one which was pretty basic. About time they made a figure of him! This lacus will be my Sixth figure of her. I have the 2 RAHDX of her, the large and small I-doll and the ball point doll of her. So yeah, overall I'm really excited to get them.
Here's a slide show of some of the other pictures I took (shipping box, figure box, figure inserts etc.)
You can see his serious face in this picture as well.

Athrun Zala I-Doll Gundam Seed

This is my latest acquisition in the figure collecting world! The figure is part of a series which is called I-Doll.
He's Athrun Zala, one of the main characters from Gundam Seed/Destiny

This figure even has a speaker in its base which can play lines he says from the show! Unfortunately he only comes with two lines. :( Pretty lame, some of my others come with a few more. Overally, he's probably the best that I've got so far in terms of quality. The sculpting and paint job are done pretty well so there's not much to really complain about apart from the lack of lines. I'd probably give him a 9/10 overall. He's a lot more refined than the Kira I-Doll. Too bad too cause that's about the only 'decent' figure of Kira Yamato and they didn't even bother to put much effort into him. ;(

So far the others in the 'small' I-Doll line I have are Meyrin, Shinn, Lacus, Kira and I also have the large one of Lacus who has 10 lines from the show! I'm currently awaiting Yzac, Stella, Cagalli and Lunamaria in the mail which should arrive within the next week. Which just leaves the small and large Meer Campbell and the large Lunamaria to acquire!

Other figures I'm awaiting in the mail are Asuka Loppi Lawson and Asuka Pajama Baby and I've got a few others on preorder.

I'll be sure to post photos of them when they arrive!

Last week I received the Yui/Mugi half of the nendoroid stage set which I'll probably post some photos up soon enough. They're really cute! The only thing I can really complain about is how hard it is to get Yui to stand. The support that comes with her is pretty useless. Mio, Mugi, and Ritsu were much easier to set up.

That's all for now. Until next time!
