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~

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...
