Bandai RG Wing Gundam Zero EW - Review

A trip down memory lane...
The Wing series started the Gundam/GunPla craze for boys of my generation. This kit, even unassembled, holds bias to my heart. Even with my anticipation for the RG flaws, I know this will be a monumental experience. Ahhh the uncontrollable tension building... I present: Wing Gundam Zero EW!

360





"WING"


No polycaps! Yay!



Oh dear.... Beautiful!




Pew


Pew pew!



Target locked


99.99% accuracy!








Sword GET





I'm surprised it can do a kneeling pose with no problems



Atmospheric entry: Operation Meteor commence


Pew pew pew


Beam spam turn - RIP grunt units...


Ore wa GUNDAM!



Pros:
Finally! An RG inner frame that works!
Solid
Cool wings

Cons:
Bit too simple for an RG

Props to Bandai for pulling off this icon! Solidity is the surprise here with the enforced arms connection feel sturdy. It's a new design (at least from my collection) in which the connection is "tubed" instead of a ball joint clipped without any support under to resist the heavy load falling (quite miserably) to gravity after a slight play through. I played a lot with the heavy guns and I haven't experienced deterioration of joints unlike my Strike Freedom and Destiny. Knee caps should be glued as they pop off very easily. Wings gimmick is great!

Now, if they can release and RG Tallgeese III or D-Hell to pair this bad boy with.

    How were you able to pull off the iconic twin buster rifle pose completely in the center?

      the arm/shoulder joints can "pop" off quite a bit for extending the arms and hold the rifle in its signature pose. hope this helps and thank you for visiting my blog :D

      Yep I know about it but my problem is in the wrist, the hand holding the rifle can be place at the center but the rifle itself is not pointing exactly towards the middle, its a bit pointing to the left if the right hand holds the rifle and a bit pointing the right if the left hand is holding the rifle, the hand cant pull it off to the center because of the wrist armor, Thanks for replying though~

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...
