Gunbuster Victory Action Figure
Manufacturer: Kaiyodo/Xebec
A rather interesting piece of Gunbuster merchandise
which is not very easy to find, but is rather affordable,
just under $20.00 US. The figure includes a set of extra
arms and hands and comes with some rather strange
weapons, such as the Buster Tomahawk and the Buster
Home Run, which are mentioned in the radio dramas.

Gunbuster Perfect Change Model
Manufacturer: Studio HalfEye
This resin model has the distinction of being one of the
most expensive items ever produced of this series at
around $500 US dollars. The kit comes packaged as
Buster Machines 1 and 2, and can be combined to
create the full Gunbuster robot. However, due to its size
(7" tall combined) the model is extremely fragile and one
mistake can spell doom for a collector who spent his hard
earned money for it. And while the kit does include a nice
collection of accessories as well as display stands
modelled after the Exelion, it is recommended that the
collector leave the model in the box as is. In years to
come, this model will probably be highly sought after.

Revoltech Yamaguchi No. 101 Gunbuster
Manufacturer: Kaiyodo
Revoltech's release of the Gunbuster under the
Yamaguchi line is a moderately affordable collectible for
those who aren't able to obtain the more expensive
Chogokin releases. However, while this figure is
transformable, because of its size it does have its issues,
such as lack of posability and random parts popping off.
