GFF Ξ / Penelope Gundam (Part 1: Unbox) Xi Kusii Penerope Gundam Fix Figuration review

[below61]

everytime i hear penelope i think of greek mythology and i thought it was just a coincidence, then you said odysseus and i freaked out

[coolbrandon92]

Penerope lol.

[Heroduothecomedian]

*SPOILER* i wonder how bright would had felt if he found out that he killed his own son and then to have the woman hathaway love say she didnt love him is a total bitch slap imo

[gundamSHock12]

with all these future u.c stories the opening of laplaces box isnt all its cut out to be

[Artuiseer]

For some reason I feel that you should've said "You may know Hathaway as the guy who killed Amuro's Girlfriend."

[mechaman13]

The Hathaway's flash novels took place during the Beltorchika's Children version of Char's Counterattack. This means, it's continuity is moot as the novels of Char's Counterattack do not count as canon.

[Amuro1X]

Largest Gundam of all time falls to either the Pscyo or Destroy Gundams, Robbertt.

[superfuckayou]

what ever happened to the zaku mask?

[SergioIsrael14]

where do you get the zaku cup?

[DukeofGrandeour]

Hey rrobbert, get the Banshee Gundam from UC please, i wanna see you do it. Plus i think the Unicorn needs its BROTHER! (MGS reference) with it. Good luck, Faved and Liked. 10/10

[Gaming00Gundam]

Me Gustaf!

[triblademaster]

dint Hathaway die in Char's counter attack?

[Temptation777]

@triblademaster Nope.

[NickIzumi]

While I'll agree that the Fix Figuration had the best detail, I think the best Gundam action figure line for me in terms of articulation, play value and money value will always be MS in Action.

[TVlolz]

What scale is this in?

[Coolflame00]

That idiot could never make it as a terrorist if you watched char's counterattack

[Coolflame00]

Hathaway sucks!!!

[kwmkc13]

Hathaway... where did we go wrong with you....

[nivlaxtended]

for starters i don't like this series at all. The protagonist is a sure hate for all zeta fans becuase he's a spoil brat in chars counter attack. He being death sentence by his own father without knowing he is son and the ms... Looks nothing lke a gundam.

[f2r14]

There's actually a (B-Club I think) resin kit for this gundam...

And it's super expensive...:lol:

[manjyome]

Tomino said that Hathaway's Flash isn't canon...

[guyinpants]

A Gundam Carpet would have been nice...

[ACP2692]

Why are these expensive ?

[xSkye629x]

HATHAWAY IS EXECUTED BEFORE A FIRING SQUAD AND HIS DAD (BRIGHT)

[NigelSSJ1]

@rrobbert184 where did you go to get the penelope gundam?

[ndalum75]

2:50 Largest gundam of all time? What about the 2 psyco gundams?

[rrobbert184]

@ndalum75 Largest 'lead' that's for sure.

[Zeroasd693]

One of the major reason, imo, why Sunrise does not make an animation out ot this is because of Hathaway. Although he is the main character, he is not a hero type, Lelouch is a anti-hero who turns into a hero in the end but Hathaway is childish, delusional and revengeful. Seriously, starting a war because of a girl that dies mostly because of him is not something many people will found interesting.

[ndalum75]

@Zeroasd693 Just because the protagonist isn't a hero doesn't mean people won't watch. Death Note showed that.

[Zeroasd693]

@ndalum75 Kira has a more meaningful cause to his actions, he was slowly pulled to the dark and become a calculative killer but at least he is smart, he knows what he is doing. Hathaway isn't smart, he is delusional about Quess. You can argue otherwise but in a mecha anime, the main character's heroism is much more important than anything. Remember, mecha is different from others, not to mention it is Gundam and I think Sunrise realize that. Hathaway's end is indeed realistic though.

[7javie]

It looks like a mouse pad but its only carpet lol we all love u rrobbert184

[soramuro]

@rrobbert184 penerope?

[GTReplayMaster]

@soramuro No.

[nightcrawlery2j]

love the suit but hates hathaway

[ROGUESPECTRE101]

I also think that after the unicorn OVA is finished and other with they will possibly move onto another novel to work on which could very well be this one "Hathaway's flash" or could even be the crossbones one that you have mentioned, they may also decide to animate the some more of the side stories that we have seen in the other gundam universes like 00 & seed so yeah they have plenty of ova room and I hope they do because the OVA's quality is amazing even though they take a while to come out.

[ROGUESPECTRE101]

wow that gundam visual novel looks awesome not to mention the gundam's look pretty cool and different :). btw do you know if these books are in English or have been translated cause I would be quite interested in reading this.

[aherowon003]

I need to learn Japanese

[Gunplataku]

me want me want me want!!

[ZR0Ver2]

I dont believe it. You're reviewing the Xi and penelope! I absolutely love the Xi, its my favourite design of all time. Got myself the 1/100 resin kit of it.

[averageasian4292]

4:10 that scene still gets to me even after reading the story all those years ago. Such an unfair end in my opinion : (

[detectiveconan996]

I finally realized where Ed got his background from...

[GirGasm]

It's pronounced like the letter Z.

[TheClayHarrison]

I saw one of these in hobbytown, and i had no idea what it was, now i know :P

[detectiveconan996]

@TheClayHarrison Which hobbytown?

[TyrantJ0710]

@rrobbert184 so what is your all around favorite gundam?

[mobiusZero2]

This is your first GFF right?

[rrobbert184]

@mobiusZero2 Yeah, I have no other non-models except for Robot Damashii Crossbone X3.

[vegeta8259]

There's a few resin kits of Xi and Penelope out there, but none of them look quite as good as this figure imo

[rrobbert184]

@vegeta8259 That's cool that they exist at least. I'd imagine they cost a small fortune...

[MaxSonic]

Put the RG Char's Zaku in the cup, seeing as you don't have your mask anymore.



[rrobbert184]

@MaxSonic That's for Yurin's MS only at the moment. Out of respect.

[OdeToSoIitude]

rrobbert send me the gundam mat thing you got with the toy, thanks.

[OcarinaOfTime554]

in the stats for the penelope

it says "VALCUN GUN" towards the bottom

[Zontar82]

@OcarinaOfTime554 that's just "nice English" in japanese terms trust me,i read in some other models stuff like "VALCAN" or even BALCAN..-_-

[Kysen10]

looks guyver-ish

[cake756]

Will you be doing a video about best kit of 2011 please?

[ZeryusAgain]

So you can make the Xi, the Odysseus and the Penelope? :O That's pretty impressive.

[UlrichVIII]

now i wanna more anime from U.C. D:!

[MargaretsLight]

would love crossbone gundam as a series.,

[bozmanga1]

Haruhiko Mikimoto art!!! :D

[VelvetIndigo]

Good thing you do this kind of review !

[xUsagiEffect]

You can get the short ver. Of these books in english read it on gundam wiki

[GNXR]

does it move at all?

[SageofTalos]

@GNXR Do you measn like articulation? Oh yeah, these fix figuartion kits have qutie a number of points of articulation.

[BlitzkriegOmega]

@SageofTalos but the problem is their only pose is standing due to either having extremely restricted articulation or having very loose parts because of having good articulation.

[GNXR]

He doesn't look as large so far

[Grarrgle]

Rrobbert, if you have any idea, what was the idea behind funnel missiles?

It sounds like a bloody stupid idea compared to regular funnels, but do they give any reasoning in the novels?

[BlitzkriegOmega]

@Grarrgle much cheaper to produce.

[ZR0Ver2]

@Grarrgle Since normal missiles cant be used due to minovsky particles they are guided by psycommu to make them accurate. They are most effective against units with I-fields as normal funnels cant harm I-field protected MS.

[Eucep]

32.5 meters tall for the Penerope? Christ, destroy mode Unicorn is what, 21 meters?

[EluciaDeLuteIma]

This gff is 1/144 right?

Cause I'm guessing the 1/100 would be much, much bigger. 

[mrcipher00]

rrobbert you're soo adorable

[maxtergundam]

I have 3 of these, for all 3 different gundam it can form

[garmmera]

One of the most beautiful MS ever.

[unknown6265]

carpet lol

[Mecha82]

28 meters? Thats one huge MS.

[BlitzkriegOmega]

@Mecha82 it wasn't untill SNRI pretty much bankrupted Anaheim that MS started Downsizing.

[belial666999]

ok, so you read my mind now to??? i was just hour ago looking for some info on this gundam and boom you reviwed it =)

[titan1990omega]

for series that never gotten anime please let there be crossbone since only so much of it has been translated online

[YuriBo26]

GFF,... I love the line,... but some of them are so rare and expensive....

[wingshad0w00982]

I remember I saw a GFF of the EXS gundam once, and that was in its' "GP-03" form.

I still regret not buying it

[karelmikulasek]

i <3 penelope too

[deadleg6]

And one more thing, of course they would illustrate a Bright slap into a novel.

[deadleg6]

Penelope looks like it is based off of Nightingale.

[Yukikazehalo]

Hathaway's Flash is canon in that it is a sequal to the Beltolchika's Children timeline, the alternate to Char's Counterattack.

as far as bandai is concerned, if it hasnt been animated, its not canon.

[OFJehutyV2]

Hathaway's Flash, right?
