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.

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...
