At 32mm they'll fit in gaming miniatures environments...
Very interesting.

I found this link on ebay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/BANDAI-GUNDAM- ... Swf69cZhAc

In yellow, they remind me of the classic Construx space dude.

In stock form they look a bit...generic / goofy to me. However as a blank canvas with slightly thicker limbs than Diaclone Dianauts they look like everything I've wanted for the last....6 to 8 months. Perhaps even longer.

Modify the arms , sculpt some new details , do something about that large noggin and add magnets to the feet and you've got a legit micro action figure. I've been examining a side by side dianaut / micro wars pilot image and I am getting HYPED.

I may need to temper my enthusiasm.

One thing is certain ... if these micro wars pilots aren't able to accept my arm mods I'm done purchasing Diaclone product. I like it a LOT but I need fully articulated pilot figures. If I don't have them there's no point in me buying any more power suits and mechs as I have enough (well maybe I need 1 more...) and Mega Construx is far less of a customizing hassle at 2 inches tall.

Would customize them, but that’s about it.

It’s that giant, goofy noggin... why? [facepalm]

I'll start posting the images that matter to us as customizers.

I'll start with these for now.

I did not take these pictures.

As someone that used to articulate WH40K figures these seem like a much easier way to achieve that if used as a blank body to add parts upon.


*enthusiasm intensifies* lol

Buddy of mine just posted a quick review on Instagram of the Micro Wars stuff he got.

Figures don’t have functional knees or elbows.

And they’re bigger than Dianauts.

Nah. I’m good.


EDIT: After revisiting my buddy’s mini review post, he was speaking about the limited articulation on the Gundam suits themselves, not the pilots. Still not my thing. More for y’all.

I don't particularly care much about the mechs , tanks & other vehicles as i have my own custom rc builds for the pilots but i did find the Gundam tanks interesting as fodder.

For those of you who may want to diversify your Waruder forces!

Those pill bugs would also be good for a Cobra-La diorama.

What a difference 2-3 mm's makes in this scale.
