Gundam Head Collection Volume 3: The Newtype's Decision

Thanks God I got a complete set. I do not need to find some secret piece in this volume unlike on the later volumes. I really like the size of these heads. They are pretty much sizable specially for the Unicorn, Banshee and Sazabi which has the large Horn piece. The details are still top notch and not much flaws on the plastic unlike the first releases. But one thing that I noticed is that they didn't do panel lines on most of the parts. You will barely notice that the panel lines are only visible on the face mask on some of the models. I also noticed that the front camera of Sazabi is not the same with the other heads. Instead of green colored clear plastic, they painted Sazabi's forehead camera with metallic green which looks like a foil sticker. 

I liked the innovation on the LED base on this volume. As for Volume 1 & 2, the LED portion of the base is in clear parts that is why when you light it up it has the tendency for the glow to spread on the Head. As for the new LED base, they made it all black with the LED uncovered so it can only focus on the possible outlet of light from the inside of the head as what you have seen on the Banshee when the LED light is turned ON. Though before, every release had 2 pieces of LED base and now they only have 1.

For now I will keep these heads because I will be rebuilding my Display cabinet and add some partition for the Gundam Heads. And maybe I will try to panel line these after the renovation of the Display Cabinet. That's it for now. Stay tuned for more because I will be doing my backlogs starting with MG Deatyhscythe this week. Thanks for your time.
