Gashapon HGIF Gundam Character 3 Vol Gundam SEED Destiny Part 3

Lunamaria again
Introduction on another two figurines from HGIF Gundam Character 3 Vol. Gundam SEED Destiny gashapon set after the previous posting.

[Lunamaria Hawke]


A little bit of assembly is required, as the figurine is being separated into a few parts.








The head can be turned.









Details of the figurine.
A more relaxed-looking Lunamaria no doubt, and chubby too as compared to Type A and B of her MS Gundam Seed Destiny Heroines 7 gashapon set. Personally, I prefer the character design of the latter for their slimmer "depiction" of Lunamaria and sharper details. ^^ While I like the smiling expression on this figurine, the chubby face and "larger" hair part don't look that well done. ^^; Understandably so anyway, since it's of smaller size as compared to MS Gundam Seed Destiny Heroines 7 gashapon set.

As compared to Lunamaria shown earlier on, the face sculpt of Cagalli is off by an even larger degree I think. ^^; It's just the hair and pilot suit that seem to identify the figurine as being Cagalli. ^^; That's kind of harsh to say, since the level of details on Cagalli, as with Lunamaria and the four figurines mentioned in the previous two postings are very good as gashapon quality, but I suppose I can say that all other details are good expect the face sculpt. ^^; For me, when the latter is not well done, there's something extremely lacking on that particular figurine, which is unfortunately the case for Cagalli. ^^;

The face sculpt issue is kind of inconsistent for this gashapon set though. Cagalli is not good, Lunamaria, Yzak and Asuka and just fine, Dearka and Mayu are really well done - especially Mayu. However, all the other details are really good though, as mentioned above. As compared to Yzak and Dearka in Part 1, Lunamaria and Cagalli's pilot suits are a lot more complex in design and more colorful, which are still very nicely painted on these two figurines. That obviously shows the high level of paint work and attention to details done on these two figures.

A look at the last figurine in the set - the most unique one for me as well in the next posting. ^^
