TT Hongli HG 1/144 Throne Eins - Review

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

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.

TT Hongli MG 1/100 Exia Ignition Mode - Review

Assembling bootleg kits can be a pain at times but this MG Exia Ignition Mode was a breeze. I was surprised from the fact that 90% went well and the other 10% were minor fixes - from shaving male connectors to gluing parts. I really enjoyed assembling my first Master Grade (I was hoping it was Bandai, my wallet was not cooperating as expected lol). Action! G...Gu...Gundaaaaaam!!!!!!!!!!! GUUUUNDAAAAMU!!! Ore wa........... Ore Wa Gundam-da!! Exia exterminating target............... Graham: Ike, Setsuna! Live and unlock the future! More swords Setsuna? Target exterminated! Joining the bunch :D Pros: Assembling is pretty easy for a bootleg Build is sturdy It came with LEDs! Cons: Joints are too stiff (for my liking, anyways, it made the kit solid though) Swords at his wait does not fit the peg in the hand Exia Repair parts does need half of the non-Repair head. (didn't bother with the transformation) The Exia Ignition Mode is a must have! I'm really g...

Photobucket has kidnapped my photos and I'm too lazy to re-upload and update every bit. It's been worthwhile. I'm intending to start a new blog that is more "personal" than just focus on one part of my hobby. Looking at my older posts, I can fairly say I've improved on my toy photography (and English!) in which I am thankful for this space as a medium to share my work. Thank you for reading up to this part! Cheers for 7 years!

Bandai RG RX-78-2 Gundam - Review

The much anticipated (and delayed) review of my RG RX-78-2! I broke the chest piece when I was applying some finishing touches on the kit. Crap it was a nightmare! When the piece snapped into two I couldn't hold back and yelled NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! That serves another lesson for me. Never EVER force yourself into working with half-assed consciousness. Weeks came by and I was able to get in touch with someone who has a spare RG RX-78-2 kit. Viola, my kit is RESTORED! Onto the review, here's the RX-78-2 in its Real Grade Excitement Embodied glory Ah, the Real Grade. Stressing color separation. The attention given to the details of RG kits is just plain awesome! The different shades of white, red, and blue is fantastic. Showing off some articulation here, kneeling poses are a bit better than the RG Char Zaku. Goes to show that top notch engineering with a mini-skirt design Gundam works! That's Amuro by the way :p Will paint...
