Some of you may have noticed Beardly Designs bought and reviewed one of the illusive Final Fighter/Super Robot knockoff sets, now called Glopo Dream Builders: Masters of Disaster. Of course, I had to get my hands on these. Here\'s my first, the Keetongu knockoff named "Pinhead." I\'m not joking.
Pinhead is a far more "Technic"-heavy set than the others I\'ve seen, as she is supposed to be a titan set. Included are 7L thin liftarms in black and yellow, 5L thin liftarms in black and yellow, a yellow "cam" piece, a black 1/2 bushing, and black and yellow connectors. The two 3L thin liftarms are rather interesting. The black one has the same connections you would expect from Lego, only rotated 45 degrees (X O X). The yellow one, however, only has three pin holes (O O O), yet it is a thin liftarm.
The worst part about building this set was those two connectors down at the bottom. Their molds were off, and so the axle slot had a thick wall on one end I had to cut down with a knife to even get an axle through. Even still, they are slightly angled and thin to the risk of breaking.

I believe these parts come in other sets (the chestplate is the same as the one included in Doomsday, thus why I referred to them as "she", and the blades have been seen before), but there were still some fun recolors. The torso piece is similar to a Mata Torso, yet with a 1L wide waist for attaching the lower and wider hips of Pinhead. The upper part snugly houses the gear function around two 1L axles protruding from the top. One inside connects the head, the other in front remains open. Unfortunately, due to the chest and shoulder construction, this chestpiece doesn\'t actually fit on the model, and will fall off.

magnet-mounted metal print:
some suggestions to people who want to assemble this model:
1: strengthen the shoulder ball joint support (E21)
2: cut out a bit of the hole of shoulder parts (E14) before plug the ball joint in, there are super super tight and the ball joint cant stand with it.
3: the upper arms, part (D4, D3) need glue it tight.
4: the hand parts, the ball joint hole (C14, the circle thing) is very weak, I suggest to use epoxy putty to strengthen it INSIDE.
5: In my case, the both knee joint parts are full of cracks and broken (E17, E18), I also use the super glue to fill the crack gaps and putty to strengthen it INSIDE.
6: about colouring, some of the paint material will make the plastic break apart. please test the coloring carefully. Mr. Hobby series are ok. (in my case)
Enjoy !! :)

Dynamite Action Mach Baron by Evolution Toy
The 70's old school tokusatsu super robot with full articulations which I'm looking for a long time. the figure is no die-cast parts and just 100% a plastic model kit like the Bandai LG/ MC standard with crazy unreasonable price.... besides, the magnet joints are the gimmick of this series but not a good way to the figure....
Anyway, I picked it with love, and Mach Baron is the ancient family of The Big-O btw. XD
Robot Spirit Ka Signature Limited RX-105 Ξ(XI) Gundam (what a long product name!!)
The legendary MS from the fiction "Hathaway's Flash".
I'm not the Gundam fan but I love this Ξ Gundam so so so much, the late 90's Mecha design and still very trendy and up to date. (the next lovers are the Zeta and GN000 O-Gundam).
Unfortunately, the Ξ Gundam actually is the unfinished MG model kit, it is completely different toy compared with the product shots, only 5% painting on the mecha body, and the shield...XD no panel lining and decals, I need to completed it by myself (I give up the decals because the manual is no guiding about this..).... what the... and one more thing, it was very pricey........
BTW, the fiction "Hathaway's Flash" is the very good Gundam story likes the "Zeta Gundam", I love it so much!! :)

A very old type Mazinger-Z action figure from Banpresto "SUPER ROBOT WARS Gashapon" series. I almost forget that I have some of the figures from this series. XD
BTW, this is the first and very late photo of the most important super robot in the world (to me) XD.
From left to right: “Zoark”, “Zark” and “Zoder”
My favorite robot toys when I was a kid (they gave me a lot of fun) but lost them with no reason…. may be I got another new stuff? I can’t remember…XD
anyway, they are the reason why I love the stream punk style robot so much.
I got them back in brand new condition occasionally. The toys are made in fragile plastic, rough in paint and details, no pose ability and the only gimmick is the childhood firearm…. actually they are not the rare stuff but I love them so much and mean a lot to me, because they are my memories. :)
The figure's title is "Strangers from another world", that means they are bad guys??XD
Austrian-Ladin Soldiers pose with their Zaku for a memory picture at the beginning of the war, probably in 1914.
