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!

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 ...

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...
