Awesome! I only have one figure. But I used to get the models to build. They were neat. Reminds me that I might still have one to put together. :)

Nice find! I have a couple of the 5-inch figures (a Zaku and a trio of Gundam from the 008thMS series), they're really well-articulated for such small pieces.

I doubt they're worth any money to speak of, especially if they're loose and potentially missing accessories, but I expect they're worth a lot more in terms of good times with the kid. Keep 'em and play with 'em, it's what they're meant for.

is that yours? the antenna area seems an odd place for it to have such heavy faux paint wear, imo, but, still impressive paint job. i've been thinking of getting back into gunpla building/painting myself. i remember it as being a real chill hobby.

Thanks! Yeah I painted. I weathered the whole thing since I figured the entire gundam would probably be getting constantly blasted by sand when it was out on missions.
I took a bunch of pics of it on my gundam blog. You can also see the construction there too. http://theunknownunderground.blogspot.com/2010/03/done.html

Sweet find! I only have a few of those small figures, but they are super coll and really articulated. I still have one or two of the actual kits to build. Right now though I have my favorite finishing job of the bunch keeping watch over my desk at work.
