The 1/48 Sinanju Head Display Base from Gundam Ace’s January 2011 Issue.
Not to be confused with the one included with Daban’s HGUC Sinanju, this thing’s legit. Of course, being long discontinued, you might as well get that version instead of getting ripped off by ebay merchants.
yea… that’s an innerframe.
There’s a gear mechanism that moves the mono-eye along with the neck. Really cool. You can easily hook a LED up with this thing, but I’m too lazy and would rather photoshop all my glows.
THOUGHTS
I have a fetish for heads as well, and this one me like. Very detailed for an appendix kit, and it comes out looking pretty damn good from straight assembly. The inner frame looks very good for paint detailing and the mono-eye gimmick is sexy when seen at such a large scale. As a display base, it does the job with configurations for various angles, but it doesn’t have any lateral rotation, so it’s not as dynamic as the action bases. This is actually pretty common on ebay nowadays priced at around $30, which is a total rip off and they’re likely bootleg remoulds. If you really can’t resist getting this bad boy, then $30 is an alright price to pay, just make sure you get a legit one, otherwise find a cheap ass bootleg elsewhere.
GOOD
-inner frame
-mono-eye gimmick

-aerial displays for your HGUC sinanju (or any 1/144s with a crotch plug for that matter)
BAD
-“omgg… how r u supposed to gold trimmm”
