The Mac command line offers a faster, easier way to accomplish many tasks. It's also the medium for many commands that aren't accessible using the GUI. The Mac OS X Command Line is a clear, concise, tutorial-style introduction to all the major functionality provided by the command line.

It has to be said from the start: Assault Kingdom volume 4 is a really, really, really excellent set. As much as I think the entire AK line up has been pretty great so far, though perhaps with a heavy focus on (not surprisingly) the Gundams themselves. AK4 takes a big step towards correcting this by adding some really great looking Zeon figures which desperately help to balance your collection for the better. The overall leanings toward the colour blue in its variations is an interesting touch, I wonder if it was accidential or a calculated move by Bandai. In either way, it is a peculiar little twist on things. To me, AK4 will always be known as 'the blue set'.Anyway, having the honour of being the fourth wave of regular figures AK4 was released in January 2014 following hot on the heels of AK3 which was released only two months earlier. As you can see from the above image the set is very varied in terms of mobile suit appearance, and it is made up of only high profile figures. too. Let's take a closer look at what this set has to offer.
13 : Perhaps this presentation is a bit superfluous,as AK4 opens with a real heavy hitter, the RX-93 Nu Gundam
. Now this mobile suit has been around, it is one of those that have managed to make an appearance in all the figure lines covered by this blog, and has even put up multiple appearances in Converge and STANDart. Basically it is a rather generic looking Gundam though in a scaled back black and white colour scheme. The Nu Gundam's standout feature is the large fin funnel weapon system attached to its left shoulder.Apart from this detachable equipment you also get optional equipment in the form of a beam rifle, a bazooka and a removable shield. As per Assault Kingdom standard, both hands are offered either as open or as fists. The shoulder mounted binder system is also available in two slightly different configurations, fully loaded as well as where some of the devices have been launched. The three missing binders themselves are found spread out in the boxes of figures 14-16 to give you an (although completely unnecessary in this case) incentive to buy the full set. As usual with figures with bulky back packs, wings and similar, the Nu Gundam has to be balanced carefully so as not to topple, unless you use any of the stands that are found in all AK boxes.
14 : We're still waiting for the RGZ-91 Re-GZ mobile suit to make an appearance in STANDart, the AK4 version can give you an indication of the massive potential this figure has. At least the figure is due any day now in Converge volume 14 where it will also be very appreciated. As you can see from the images above, this well designed figure has a smooth and sleek appearance and a great colour scheme.
The Assault Kingdom version of the Re-GZ comes equipped with a puny beam rifle, a shield and a transparent beam saber. A choice of hands is also included. This gives you enough options to tweak the figure to your heart's content, although I think the beam sabre configurations are the way to go here. Notice also the first of the three binder weapons belonging to the Nu Gundam in this parts set above. Another truly great figure that livens up the AK figure line.
15 : And now for the real stunner of this set, the incredibly awesome MS-07B-3 Gouf Custom of Zeon notoriety. This figure has also seen widespread release in Converge, STANDart and FWUO, although it is somewhat hard to track down there. Anyway, the Gouf is here now, and it might just be the best figure to come out of the entire Assault Kingdom line, perhaps outshined only by the widely customizable Black Tristar Zaku II. The Gouf Custom simply delivers in spades.
The mobile suit comes armed with two weapons, the combined gatling shield and a heat sword for those nice close encounters. Whichever way you decide to pose it it will do so nicely. In spite of the large gatling shield the figure stands up fairly well without support. Once again the box comes with one of the binders for the Nu Gundam. If you are a picky collector, this is probably one of the AK:s you'd be interested in.
16 : The last figure in wave four is another truly classic figure, which has probably featured in almost every figure line by now. The amphibian MSM-07 Z'Gok has finally found its way to Assault Kingdom (I suppose Char's red version is not far behind...) and although this is a really great figure it does have some minor niggles. I guess the main reason we've had to wait for the Z'Gok is that the engineers would have to think a bit harder on how to articulate it. It is surely no coincidence that we have seen so many sleek Gundams appear in the line, they are all similar in composition with minor artistic deviations only, and the thin and square limbs are fairly straightforward to articulate. It is also not surprising to see the many versions of the Zaku II and Gouf coming out, as the designers take advantage of a previous figure and tweak it somewhat.
Now the Z'Gok is a whole different fish altogether. With its bulky limbs the articulation has to work somewhat differently, and as a resault the options for the Z'Gok are a bit limited when compared to the more flexible figures (the RX-78-2 Gundam for example). You'll find that the legs especially aren't very tweakable, and the strange wide legged stance can only be used so much. Another thing which needs correction is the appearance of the head. The Z'Gok has a 360 degree field of vision but the AK figure only has two slots looking like eyes. The mould is still there for the other 'viewports', you'd really want to paint these black to give the figure a smoother and more rounded appearance more true to the real deal. A nice touch though is that you can move the red monoeye inside the head to look left and right by using a small lever at the back of the head. I'd use it sparingly, there's no telling how fragile it is. The figure also comes with a choice of open or closed claws, as well as the third and last binder for the Nu Gundam.
Above you can see all the components needed to put together the three binders that are released by the Nu Gundam. The first box contains the piece you plug into the lower back of the Gundam and then attach the three binders on transparent arms extending from it, similar to the way the Kshatriya figure was designed.I didn't bother trying this out yet as I'm not really convinced by this whole idea of transparent pieces sticking out from figures to simulate in weapon systems flight. if I do try it out, the review will be updated accordingly.
In conclusion though, there is much to rejoice about in regard to Assault Kingdom vol. 4. If you like to collect these figures I'd say the entire set is a given. At the time of writing they are still easily available on the market, so shouldn't prove too difficult to source at a decent price.

It is half past seven on a night in January 1945. Anton sits at a table in the back room of his home with his folks and his 17-year-old sibling, Dwindle. The light source in the room is a zinc chamber with a Y-formed cylinder jutting from it. A dull light exudes from blazes originating from the cylinder. Clothing hangs to dry, there is a crate to keep nourishment warm, and there is a pile of books used to light the crisis stove that the family uses to cook. Papers have not landed in months. This room, which used to be the lounge area, is the one room that houses the entirety of the family’s exercises, with the exception of resting.
Anton’s mom unwinds a dull blue sweater so as to utilize its yarn. Her light hair is “looped over her ears like two ammonite shells” (10). She is utilizing a clove to alleviate the torment of a depression for which she can’t see a dental specialist. She drinks a chilly tea substitute produced using dissolved day off. Anton’s dad sits over the table from her. He is twisted around a book. His dim, turning gray hair develops “in a crescent like a horseshoe around his uncovered pate” (10). Anton wears Dwindle’s pre-worn stuff, while Diminish wears one of their dad’s larger than usual suits. Diminish, who hit his development spurt exactly when there was less to eat, is extremely flimsy.
He sits chipping away at his schoolwork, in spite of the fact that he has not gone to the road for two months “since he [is] mature enough to be gathered together by the police and sent to a work camp in Germany” (10). He is accordingly being instructed by his dad—schoolwork what not. Dwindle shares his mom’s light hair and blue eyes, while Anton has his dad’s dim dark colored appearance. Anton is likewise not at present going to class—a coal deficiency has broadened the Christmas get-away until the finish of the sub zero climate. Anton is ravenous, however he knows “that he [won’t] get his clingy dark sandwich spread with sugar beet syrup until morning” (11).
That evening, he had hung tight for an hour at the focal kitchen in the nursery school for four scoops of “watery soup”(11) from a cart, which he considers a “sharp blend” (11). The handcar was protected by a police officer with a rifle on his back. Anton peruses an article called “A Letter to Descendants” in the 1938 release of Nature and Mechanics. The article portrays a “gathering of well-encouraged Americans” (11)as they bring down a period container into the ground. The time container contains different things that vouch for “what human development had been similar to at the hour of the World’s Reasonable in New York” (11).

The container is intended to be opened 5,000 years after its entombment. Anton gets some information about the condition of human progress 5,000 years back. His dad discloses to him that development was in its early stages in old Egypt and Mesopotamia 5,000 years prior. The storyteller expresses that Anton imparts a name to Anton Mussert, the pioneer of the Dutch Nazi Gathering. This outcomes in Anton being prodded in school. The storyteller additionally uncovers that later in his life, when Anton meets anybody named Anton or Adolf, he sees if they were conceived in the war—assuming this is the case, their name is a certain sign that their folks were colleagues.
Anton’s dad, alluded to by his last name, Steenwijk, welcomes Dwindle to peruse the interpretation that Diminish is chipping away at for his schoolwork. The entry subtleties the way where the sound of flooding streams reflects that of “the yelling and [… ] difficult battle of [… ] officers occupied with a hand-to-hand fight” (14). Steenwijk appreciates the magnificence of the section, taking note of that the creator thinks about the warriors’ fight to the streams so as to “state that all of presence is a similitude for another reality, and that the general purpose is to get a handle on that other reality” (14).
Dwindle muses how that “other reality” must be the war. Steenwijk likewise revises his child’s interpretation—taking note of that the creator didn’t summon numerous waterways. Or maybe, he utilized the word symballeton, which means “a duality” and “the meeting up of two things” (14), as opposed to various things. Steenwijk additionally educates both regarding his children that a symbolon was a stone broken in two and utilized like two interlocking riddle pieces so as to confirm the characters of optional, obscure gatherings to understandings between known partners.

The introduction of a consummately coordinated symbolon half showed the dependability of an up to this time neglected individual. Anton is excited by his dad’s bits of knowledge, while Subside is disturbed. Mrs. Steenwijk energizes the family, particularly Diminish, to play a tabletop game before heading to sleep. She discloses to Dwindle that they should resign early in light of the fact that they just have enough gas for a couple of days. It is just about eight o’clock: time limitation. The family plays the game together.
