I can actually see a Robot Tower being used in an anime. Like a LevTerr type thing with one guy flying around and the others stacked on his shoulders are able to aim better.
I mean, it's just as plausable as a hammer that smashes stars...
Once again, Feilineki is bar far the coolest person here. Actually, the line-up goes Jumbo Grade, Perfect Grade, Master Grade ver. Ka, HGUC, and topped off with a small VF-1S gashapon.

I know that phrase...where did it come from?

The Voltron jokes are wearing thin. Here I am trying to make a statement about the sheer commercialism of Gundam and you guys are gabbing like a bunch of old dorks at an Chucky Cheese's. Can't you see the art, man? The art?

My Perfect Grade Gundam won't even stand up. The pegs for the ankles were apparently poorly molded, and they split the polycaps in the ankle joints. Need to order a replacement poly sprue.

I will quote the famous Darren Pierce of Zincpanic in order to introduce some of uninitiated to the marketting policies of Gundam.
From time to time, Bandai's crack marketing staff takes a good, long, hard look at their various merchandise lines in order to determine where they might have gaps in product. For example, if Ultraman is really popular with 8 year olds, they'll make sure there's a range of in-demand Ultraman toys suitable for such children.
Recently, Bandai has decided there is a big gap in the Gundam product lines. It seems there's simply not enough Gundam products available in Japan that you can fill your living space with. The number of RX-78 Gundam toy robots available simply doesn't match the buying capacity of the typical Gundam enthusiast. While most scales ranging from 1:6 to 1:400 have been covered, we have yet to see coverage in the vital decimal scales at all, such as 1:32.45, and the ever popular 1:157.21 form factor.
To this end, in November, Bandai introduces the Gundam HMS Selection line. One hundred twenty percent larger than their MS Selection brothers, these 3.5" gashapon toys are heavily modeled after their HCM Pro cousins, offering poseability, quality, and detail. Each HMS toy will feature 26 points of articulation, accessories, and crisp paint. The first round will feature Gundam, G-3 Gundam, GM, Zaku, and Char's Zaku, and the line is planned out far, far into the future ...
