TT Hongli HG 1/144 Throne Drei - Review

Two posts in a day! Now I'm hyped up! I'll try to breeze along this review. This kit just didn't leave an impact on me. I'm in anguish waiting for my RG kits. Hopefully by next week I can have my goodies.

Starting up front


Side. Pardon the dusty finish. It fell while applying top coat :(

Close up


Some "action" poses. Sad to say, without any open hands or closed fists, I really can't do anything dramatic with this kit. Boo!





Coolest part in my photoshoot below:

NENA LET'S DOCK!
YOKAI! ANIKI!


*Chaching*


PSSHHHH..


SHINEEE!!!!




Pros:
Easy and fun to build
No assembly cures

Cons:
If poseability is what you're looking for, look elsewhere
One of the newer kits but still did not come with different sets of hands
Minimal armaments -- I mean ZERO!
Does not have any sort of gimmicks

This kit is hideous BUT, the unit was not designed to actually have any kind of specialty. It simply acted as a support for Eins and Zwei in the series. Collecting the Thrones is still a must have if you're a die hard fan of 00. I would not recommend this to any first timer who is looking for a kit to set their foot into the GunPla world. All in all, this is a pretty good bootleg. It does not require any assembly cure or gluing. I would recommend this kit however since it is one of the rarest kits in TTH. So if you spot one, go get it. Just don't expect something exciting.

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 Aile Strike - Review

The day has come to review my most adored kit! The first time I saw Aile Strike, I just knew its mech design is very special. Having the RG treatment really kicked off the old MG in terms of articulation and detail. Let's have a look at Strike and his cool equipment! Yes! Yes! YES! Aggressive curves, sharp angles, and a mean looking head. Zaft should be afraid. Be very very afraid! Add an aggressive looking booster pack to an already aggressive looking Mobile Suit and you get a masterpiece design! It's so...... AGGRESSIVE! Accessories Reanimating Strike's first action. A punch to a puny Ginn! PG? No. RG! Schneider really bumps up the agility of Strike. My weapon of choice. ...YEAH! O_O Signature pose My favorite shot from my photo session Pew pew pew Sword GET-O! 死ぬ Ore wa Gundam! (Whoops wrong series..) ...
