All right, all right, so technically, if you have a Perfect-Grade Gundam kit, you could probably skip this. Hey, I'm a toy-fanatic damn it, not a model builder. ... ok, the line isn't THAT funny, but still true. There are oodles of toy-fans who would LOVE to own a mucho-detailed, mega-articulated Gundam with all sorts of neat extras... and NOT spend over $200 and 100 hours putting the dang thing together. For us without the inclination, what would rock in a toy? Ah, to dream...
Ok, first, let's go with the 11" scale like the Deluxe Nu Gundam. Of the Gundams done, it's my favorite. Why the huge scale? Hey, let's think big here, but while we're at it, let's up-grade the sculpt; more panel-lines, maybe even do some 'battle-damage' painting on it. Some other extras; how about a cockpit that opens and closes? While we're at it, how about lighting effects for the eyes? Not a huge improvement, but a nice extra, and since we've already got batteries in there for the lights, perhaps sound effects such as the engines roaring, firing effects for the weapons. Fortunately, the articulation is fine on this figure.
Now to the weapons. The fin-funnels are well done, as far as being able to attach to the back-pack and fold into the weapons mode. But how about extra display-stands for each funnel so if you reeeeeeeally wanna go nuts with the display, you can have each funnel on it's own stand, 'floating' in air in attack formation. Hmmmmmmmm... beamsabers... let's give them lighting effects as well. Nothing like a glow-in-the-dark beam saber. Hehehehehehehehe. As far as the beam-rifle and hyper-bazooka, how about having them actually launch projectiles? Just a little something extra to mess with.
And there you go, not just a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig Gundam, but a LOADED Gundam.
