Revoltech Yamaguchi Himura Kenshin

Revoltech Yamaguchi Himura Kenshin - Review

It's probably figure month day for October 2012! Another awesome piece from Revoltech Yamaguchi that rekindles the inner child in me. Samurai X. One of the classics that has stood the test of time and is considered to be one of the monumental gears (along with some greats during its time; aaahh good times the late 90's) in introducing Japanimation to the world. Without further adieu, meet and greet Mr. Himura.

...Shit just got serious

0.8765925sec Iaido!!!!!

Still fresh from my boy mind how I pee'd my pants when Kenshin pulled of the spinning Hitten Mitsurugi

ಠ_ಠ holy mother of..... #&*%@!

Hitten Mitsurugi style: "They see me rollin'!"

Blam! And they see you flyin'

Pros:

Superb details

Cons:

Legs seem a bit loose

"Limited" articulation

Revoltech Yamaguchi's figures seeing and feeling two of them, continues the trend with its top notch attention to detail. Everything is just well put and staring at Vash and/or Kenshin takes my breath away. One of the concerns though is its legs. I can feel it getting loose over time especially if you plan to play with it a lot for whatever reason. Another thing is the "flying" kimono on shoulder and elbow is placed awkwardly and non-revol jointed knee and groin is a bummer but that's just has to be a design issue. All in all a solid product with a couple of nitpicks here and there.

Ta-da!

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 - 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...
