Bandai RD 00 7s Raiser

Bandai RD 00 7s Raiser - Review

Glad to be back from my hiatus! I got this figure before Christmas which was being sold dirt cheap. Too bad it has a missing piece (sword guard at the spatula). Grabbed the 0 Raiser the next day to achieve this 'perfection'. Wasn't free until now to take photos so this review is long overdue :p

Some might be asking why I have a bunch of 00's. For starters, the design really kicked in me. I just love how it looks and 00 being one of the best Gundam shows laid a special place in my collection. Quite sure I'll be getting an Exia as my next 00 fig and the rest MS's to follow.

Review STAAAART-O! 360

One of the reasons why I bought 7s - SWORD! - and not the 00 Raiser package (another thing to note is that the Gundam 00 is a bit updated in 7s than the 1st release 00 and 00 Raiser. Head looks meaner and articulation is a bit imporved)

See how slim this unit is and then how stuffed it looks but gets away with a perfect balance of its aesthetics? Yes.

Pew pew pew

Ninja-ish pose

Pros:

Rock solid

Articulation

Stand (came with 0 Raiser, can be fitted to 00)

Cons:

No GN Sword III

I wish I could've gotten the GN Sword III but the price was too hard to swallow going for 1.5k for the "mere" accessory.

Seeing how RD fulfils my Gundam crave (and laziness / the lack of time for kits) only mean how I plan on shifting the majority of my collection from kits to figures. But feeds on upcoming RG's (Zeta, GPO1, Destiny) and HG's (Blue Frame!!!) and its price is just unbeatable considering RD's are on the same price level of MG's.

I'm excited to grab an Exia. Hoping to snag a cheap Repair II parts!

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...
