Gundam Arios and GN Archer

This has got to be the funniest image I've seen of the GN Archer as it is docked onto the Gundam Arios --

The cartoon parody above is of course done by their respective pilots, Allelujah Haptism and Soma Peries, with the ever-hot* Sumeragi Lee Noriega (although she's not that hot-looking in this one) watching on. Aren't they cute? ^_^

Here's the real GN Archer docking with the Arios Gundam --

* If you haven't watched any 00 Gundam episode yet (pity), just Google "Sumeragi Lee Noriega" and you'll know what I mean.

High Dream Metaltech Super Robots: Grendizer

With Kaiyodo showing off a Revoltech version of Grendaizer in the recent Revoltech Expo '09, here comes High Dream with their Metaltech line, and the super-robot that would hold the distinction of being the first is, yup, Grendizer.

The Metaltech Grendizer would stand at about 6" tall and has die-cast parts... I guess this is in direct competition against Kaiyodo's Revoltechs, huh?

The details on the face are just amazing.
Just look at the golden horns. Very un-SOC-yellow-like.
One downside is the lack of chrome.

Can you guess which is which?

If you're wondering how much gokin is going into this awesome release, here's the un-painted robot --

Since the Revoltech's Grendizer has been announced, it has been put on my wish list. Now that Metaltech's version came out, I'm guessing that I'll be acquiring my second 6-incher of a Grendizer, too! I'd bet they'd look good side-by-side. ^_^
