TT Hongli HG 1/144 Throne Eins - Review

Summing up my Throne Eins WIP, here's the review of the kit :)

Front view

Back


With his backpack beam weapon. Humongous beam rifle you got there Eins!


Few silly poses. Can't get much emotion with this Throne Eins because his only pair of hands are the closed fists. He's mad >:(


Now he's really REALLY MAD D:<


Crossbow!!



Can't get much articulation / poses out of this guy


Box art and his coolest pose! Setsuna shineeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!


Ali Al-Saachez. Throne Eins. Exia exterminated. >:D



Pros:
An almost perfect build for a bootleg. Hmm, come to think of it, I give the assembly a perfect 10/10!
Sturdy. No falling parts.
Gigantic mega particle beam looks badass!

Cons:
Can't get much posing
Articulation is limited due to design (Probably my nitpick and got too used with the newer models)

I never thought I'd enjoy this much into building a non-preference kit. The design was "meh" at first but as I proceed in building Eins, I slowly appreciated his alien-ish design. If there was a European car counterpart in terms of design in the Gundam-verse, this is it! Haha! This is a must get since I had 2 minor (micro :p) assembly cures and can be done in no more than 5 mins! The build was perfect and I breezed along the body, arms, and legs. Get it while supplies last since this is one of the rarest kit that TT Hongli produced.

QY SD Shining Gundam - Mini WIP, Assembly Cure and Review

It has been a while since the last time I blogged. Reality bites and I have to focus on the "more important things in life." Work, girlfriend, and of course going outdoors - a much needed "distraction" to regain my appetite for GunPla. In all honesty my interest has gone downhill and the promised TT Hongli MG Sinanju is nothing more of a plan than a work-to-be-done. There will always be the GunPla itch so I picked this teeneeweenee SD that caught my eye. Welcome to the club, Shining Gundam!! To start off, the box. Runners - 5 in total along with the polycaps Issue 01: See the yellow fin attached to the head? Don't force to plug it in. You'll only damage the plastic. Shave off the little opening to fully accommodate the fin. Repeat it on the other side. Issue 02: The usual suspect in QY kits. What I did was shave the male connectors with my hobby knife. Head done! Notice I used the foil stickers. It's not that I was too lazy to paint the eyes, b...

Bandai SD Zeta Karaba Assault - WIP 01

Coming from a competition really fired my GN Drives up! I am now onto my 1st WIP of 2012, SD Zeta! This 2-pack kit was actually bought before I even knew about the GFP competition. But G-SHOT and the 1/144 Challenge came along and the fun and excitement was too hard to pass up! I initially thought of doing Zeta in its accurate colors. Watching Gundam AGE really blew me and I fell in love with white MS's particularly seeing how the G-EXES pawns the UE. Right then and there I decided to try something different, something that I've never tried before (well, sort of). BTW, if you've never encountered the Zeta Karaba Assault it sorta looks like this ~ It is a limited edition color scheme of the MG Zeta V2. The Karaba Assault was piloted by the White Unicorn AKA Amuro Ray. (Photo above is NOT mine. Thank you GundamPH for the reference. Visit his site too. There are a lot of GunPla, mech, and other anime-related cool stuff there to see) Upon straight building this dude, I ...

Bandai RG RX-78-2 Gundam - WIP 01 *and More (Troll Face)

November has been GunPla month for me. Everything is going smooth and I have been progressing faster than expected lately. It's funny because I'm a little busy-er compared to when I was WIPing my Exia Ignition Mode, but anyway here's what I've done so far: Notice that the feet has 3 points of articulation. MG-ish and this is expected since the Zaku II Char is the same Legs gimmick - sliding armor is a win for me :) Color separation of the 'V' in the skirt is awesome. I remember painting that teenee-weenee part on the Ver30thG Body and booster's color separation (ahh yes the different shades) is an eye opener. This is why I fell in love with the RG line <3 The RG Zaku II Char took me more than 2 months to complete the kit and about 2 weeks to slap in the waterslide decals. Here, it has only been 4 days and I'm almost done with the kit's assembly. Ahhh, can't wait to photo Amuro and Char together (no homo!). I guess the excitement e...
