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~

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 ...

SH Figuarts Rockman Zero - Review

Human and reploidkind's last hope: His name is ZERO....? Slide! Z-Saber GET Love the translucent piece L'Oréal ambassador Ryuenjin!!! ...is always followed by Hyouretsuzan If you're a Maverick and hears: Hoooooooo- Haaaaaaa- Hoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! Zero's fundamental 3-combo SLASH Triple Rod Looks sick! Shield Boomerang Super hero lan.... Ugh.... Buster Shot Pew pew pew Who am I...? Pros: Weapons Sculpt is spot on Cons: Articulation plenty but a bit restrictive compared to newer releases by SHF Rockman Zero builds on a new era from the X series. It brings BACK the fun of what the blue bomber and red slasher should be - the best side scrolling game in which the X7 and X8 failed to deliver. Rockman Zero was the sav...
