This ain't right: Put your face on this Char Aznable action figure

This ain't right: Put your face on this Char Aznable action figure photo

Like the header image above, something feels a little wrong about what this story is all about. An act in defiance of the natural order. Something...unholy.

Bandai have gone and upset the balance, surely to provoke the wrath of some deity or other, in the sake of bald profit, by by debasing the holy form of Char Aznable, hero of Zeon and champion of Spacenoid liberty. He is the prototype for Gundam's greatest Masked Men. His likeness, always hidden behind cheesy helmets or wraparound sunglasses, lies concealed.

And yet Bandai chooses to sin, by adding  the Red Comet to their Jibundamashii line of action figures. Meaning "your soul," Jibundamashii figures use your face! Just send them a photo of your and Bandai will violate a unique character's countenance with your ugly mug.

This cannot stand. No matter how much one tries to act the doppelganger, only the original can move three times faster. Hit the gallery for pictures of this crime in progress.
