Bandai RD Unicorn - Review

Collecting was put to a stall to pave way... well, for more practical stuff. Nothing in particular really. But sometimes the itch gets the better of my thriftiness (oh and fever blurred my decision making). Not that I'm regretting the purchase. I actually had a sense of satisfaction from getting the vanilla Unicorn to have it beside my Uni-Destroy and Nanju.

360 view





This + Shield are its accessories. Fair enough but sadly you cannot fit the Destroy mode weapons (2nd release seem to be capable)


Seeing other reviews I felt the Unicorn has a strong attitude with its design despite it being plain and white


As usual details are superb. Ahh I love the whites



Height comparison. A little bit off scale. I'm guessing the 2nd release also fixed the inconsistency.


Action!



Pew



Saber GET


Badass



Attack on Seed


Director's cut.................


My newtype senses are tingling.....!!!


*Red flash*


Dear Unicorn sir please state La+ location... Or else...


Or else what?!


Can't touch this


I guess asking you nicely is pointless?
....Oh shi....


Char Kick!
UWAAAAHHHH!!!!




Chikusyo! (PEEEW)


A master once said: Powerful beam rifle yes, but hitting me you shall not!


In that case...


Hiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


Too predictable. The box is mine!


Awww.... Au....drey.... Au...


POWEEEEEEEEEEERRRR!!!!!


HENSHIN


It's a..... GUNDAM?! Now we're talking


Show me your true power


Come and get it









Pros:
Simple yet striking design

Cons:
Being one of the older Robot Damashii's articulation is surprisingly "limited". It has a lot of it but not on par with the new ones. (Destroy mode despite its design is a lot more articulate than the vanilla Unicorn).
Solidity is a little bit down but not entirely an annoyance while fiddling like the RG's. The front and side skirts tend to pop off from time to time.

Summing up, simplicity is its best asset. Got the figure on sale so no regrets as the 2nd release (+Full Armor) is more than twice the price. Good figure overall and the proportions are, as always, great with this Robot Damashii.

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...

RIP Crimson Comet

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...
