Play Arts Kai Man of Steel Superman & The Dark Knight Trilogy Batman - Review

Woohoo! My first post high kicking gear onto 2014! Good brother lent his PAK figures for my eyes (and lens) to behold. Lo and..... BEHOLD! Man of Steel Supes and Bale Bats DC offering the worlds finest:

Goodness gracious these figures are a looker!


First 360 stop - Kal El





From the depths of shadows I present the Dark Knight

I'm godly and I know it ♫
Why, hello there Bruce

B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-ATMAN!!! (Kamen Rider reference LOL)





MoS Superman
Pros:
Amazing details (as expected with PAKs)

Cons:
Was not as Henry Cavill-ish
Extras. Sure Supes has no weapons but at least give him swappable heads

DK Trilogy Batman
Pros:
Straight out from the movie accurate
Details
Cape articulation giving the figure more action when posing

Cons:
A bit back heavy

Fiddling with PAK was an amazing experience. Details are superb on both figures it was only a matter of the sculpt on how it would stay true / close with its source material. Articulation wise, both are okay but still a lot to be desired given how SHFiguarts figures, heck, even Robot Damashii's mechs are much much easier to pose. Close on Revoltech but does not quite have its range of motion. A thing to complement is its size. Both figures are a beauty. If you want something in between the ~4 incher DC "brick" figures and those premium Hot Toys, Play Arts Kai surely hits its target.


Happy 2014! Next stop: STRIKE the GOLD and you're FREE.

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 - WIP 01 *and More (Troll Face)

November has been GunPla month for me. Everything is going smooth and I have been progressing faster than expected lately. It's funny because I'm a little busy-er compared to when I was WIPing my Exia Ignition Mode, but anyway here's what I've done so far: Notice that the feet has 3 points of articulation. MG-ish and this is expected since the Zaku II Char is the same Legs gimmick - sliding armor is a win for me :) Color separation of the 'V' in the skirt is awesome. I remember painting that teenee-weenee part on the Ver30thG Body and booster's color separation (ahh yes the different shades) is an eye opener. This is why I fell in love with the RG line <3 The RG Zaku II Char took me more than 2 months to complete the kit and about 2 weeks to slap in the waterslide decals. Here, it has only been 4 days and I'm almost done with the kit's assembly. Ahhh, can't wait to photo Amuro and Char together (no homo!). I guess the excitement e...
