RX-78-3 is the second Gundam in Bandai's Gundam FIX Figuration Metal Composite line. It is basically the same as the RX-78-2 with the only difference being that this 'limited' edition is in the monochromatic color scheme of the G-3.

Compare to the initial GFF line, it is bigger (in 1/100 scale instead of 1/144), has better articulation, has metal parts (in some joints and inner frame), uses better/harder plastic, and is just better overall with no parts falling off.

Voltes V is not widely known in North America, but in the Philippines, saying that it was a huge Japanese animation is an understatement. Initially aired in the late 70's, it was banned then re-aired in the 80's and 90's. Like most kids, I grew up watching the giant robot slash alien robots every afternoon. I've always wanted a Voltes V toy, but was not fortunate to have one. That has now changed and I finally have a Voltes-V in my collection.
Produced by Bandai as part of the Soul of Chogokin line, this Voltes-V (GX-31V) is actually the second version with minor improvements over the previous one although both are really awesome. See for yourself.
