Bandai RD 00 Quan[T] - Review

2012's days are waning. Life has been good but still looking to find time for myself. The hobby offered precious moments (yes, my childhood frustrations with 'toys') to enjoy me being me.

Cheesy opener out of the way, I got a Robot Damashii 00 Quan[T] from a friend in a Gundam party! Condition was a bit loose but I was able to get this baby for 1.1k cheap.

360





Color accuracy is perfect as with all of my Robot Damashii's
That GN Drive at the back looks good



Humble set of accessories (this is all what Quan[T] has so it's fine unless you want the Full Saber). Hmm, not quite sure what those red pieces are for. Didn't bother using them lol


飛ぶ!ガンダム!


SSJ!!! ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ



GURAAAAHHHH!!!


....





Had fun with an android app (Photo Grid)


whooooosh!



行く Bits-u!


Badass level over 9000!


GN Sword V c-c-c-combine


(Warm photos thanks to my T.V. bombing my light haha)


*snap-u* *snap-u*


Cha-ching


Want a piece of me boy?


I'm sexy.....


....and I know it!



Give the fans a bit of service. Fuck understanding! I want to see Quan[T] in his full glory! TRANS-AM!!!





Pros:
Sword bit gimmick (O-ring)

Cons:
Solidity a bit lacking considering this is Robot Damashii
Design for thighs a bit thick which limited articulation a little
Back heavy (easily put up when strategically positioned/balanced) - I may have been spoiled by the Revol joints, haha!

The 00 Gundam series have its fair share of awesome looking MS's. Anyone who's new with the Gundam franchise or fans that's post 2000 (after UC and Wing) dare say that 00 is the best thing that has happened for the Gundam-verse. Understandable as how the GSD clusterfuck turned out, fans both old/new was served with something fresh but has the roots of having a realistic GUNDAM-Y story.

00 Quan[T] did not disappoint as far as being the lead. A lot to be desired with its action sequence in the movie, still, this IS the most popular as the fanbase from different series are waging war with the million dollar question "Which is the most powerful Gundam?". 

Ahh, to hell with the kiddie stuff, I love how 00Q looks and that's good enough for me to purchase this figure. LOL. Articulate figure with a lot of things going on for its sword was really a treat and a sight to behold. So, is this a good purchase? Yes. Definitely. But. I think the HG is the better purchase. HG's head looks sharper. It's cheaper. Probably has the same level of articulation and can have the Full Saber attached.

That's it for me for 2012. Thanks for reading until this part. I may have a long hiatus. Cheers for a good GunPla/GunFig(?) run and again, domo arigato! Happy holidays (=^ェ^=) meoow~

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...
