Check List: MFS 1/400

The Gundam Mini Figure Selection range consists of two main figure series. The original series ran between 2002 and 2003 and consists of seven basic sets of silver coloured figures as well as a best of volume and a couple of exclusive box sets and promotional figures. Some miniatures come in alternate colour versions and a few are fully painted. The brand was revived again in 2005 when the Mini Figure Selection Plus appeared, now featuring only fully painted figures. MFS Plus saw a total of eleven basic sets until the range disappeared in 2008.

Although not branded as being to scale, the average MFS figure is roughly 1:400 scale and often suitable to mix with figures from the Gundam Collection Gashapon range.

A typical Mini Figure Selection bag, containing candy, technically making this a Shokugan figure.
The MFS figures normally do not feature any movable parts and components typically have shaped pegs which can only be inserted in a predetermined way. All MFS figures come with soft circular bases (almost all are black) containing the figure names on the side and featuring one or two pegs for the figure to be attached to. The Mini Figure Selection Plus figures instead come with white circular bases where the mobile suit name is printed on the top of the base and feature slots for pegs that now sit on the figure's feet instead. Most of the sets contain one or more hidden figures or colour variations.

While it is very hard to find figures in their original plastic bags today most of the figures themselves aren't that rare. As can be seen in the image above, figures were typically sold in blind bags containing a little Gashapon style booklet as well as a bag of candy. This would classify the figures as Shokugan although they feel more like Gashapon in the way that they are randomized.

Since many of the mobile suits that appear in the Mini Figure Selection have multiple variants the best way to identify which set they belong to is to look at the series number printed underneath the base. While the early sets don't have such numbers they still have a figure number between 01 and 16. I have provided such numbers in the lists below where they are known to me.

    I have 16 of these mfs in a dark metallic red color. I can't seem to find much info on them. I'd like to know more about these if anyone can help. Thanks.

      Which mobile suits are they? There are four dark red metallic colour figures in the Char's Customized Selection box; a flying Zaku II, a Z'Gok, Gelgoog and Rick Dom. The bases are not the usual black and white but more of a dark gray with silver text on them. Then there are some red special versions of standard figures like the Sazabi, Rick Dias, Gelgoog etc. You can see most of them here:

      I took a look at the link you provided. I noticed that all of mine have the same name/number as the ones in "Mini Figure Selection vol. 1" but they are just the metallic red instead of silver.

      Interesting. Starting with volume five, MFS figures have five-digit numbers under the bases that identify the sets. I have encountered figures from volume one without such numbers as well as with number "20942" which probably means they were reprints or re-releases. There is supposedly such a re-release of wave one but I have never seen examples of the packaging of either set so cannot confirm the origin of either.

      If reissued perhaps the figures were made available as both silver and red colour variants, Bandai loves to do stunts like that to aggravate collectors. Alternatively it could have been a special boxset associated with a hobby show or similar.

      Hmm, that is interesting. Thank you for the information.
