The Gundam Gsight figure collection was a rather short-lived Gashapon series that ran between 2002 and 2004. There are eight main figure sets and two special sets with larger figures. All mobile suits are drawn from the Universal Century timeline, mainly focused on the One Year War although the series branches out a bit at the end.
The normal figures were sold in random hexagonal shaped cylindric boxes, each containing a figure and for the most part an accessory in the form of a diorama piece or small vehicle. Twelve individual figures are packaged in a larger box, which would normally contain two of each type, with different colours.
The figures from Gsight Part III in their primary colours and in alternate colours (below).
And yes, speaking about differenct colours; one of the main features of Gsight is that each figure in the first six sets will come in colour variations which are not necessarily canon. Looking at the RX-78-2 Gundam for example, it comes in three colours variations in the first set. Classic white, grey and blue (which can be taken for a G3) and a wildly olive and dark green imaginary style.
Gsight figures are made from soft and bendy plastic, and you will often have to deal with bent legs, arms and weapons. The common figures do not feature any bases and are therefore a bit unstable (unless they are Doms with huge feet) and the bendy limbs certainly don't help. There is a bit of articulation in legs and arms which can help sort out balance problems but on the whole you will have a lot of issues with figures like Zakus and GMs.
Gsight figures come in their own little scale; 1:350, which means they do not match anything else out there. Still, some of the vehicles and scenery can work decently with 1:400 figures and you often see people using the diorama pieces with those.

I might be wrong , but aren't those were a part of tabletop game ? I'm pretty sure that bandai was released a bunch of figures for tabletop game , tou i think quality of those were bit way higher than ones found in gatcha machines.
ReplyDeleteYou are thinking about the 1:400 "Gundam Collection" Gashapon series (it also has a tab of its own here) but these figures are certainly useful for various homebrew conflict games as well.
