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





Extras: Definitive drama hands for Supes; Bat gadgets c/o Lucius Fox for Bats


.........Aaaaaaaand ACTION!

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


Don'cha think it's time to give the world the FINEST duel it deserves?
.....?

The duel it deserves.... Yes. But not the one we need right now! 
What would you being the mightiest jerk... I mean, hero the world has ever known would get challenging a mere mortal?
Ain'cha a little pussy Bruce? World's greatest detective gonna go home in yer puny Bat hole and cry to momma Alfred? O__o

....Oh no you didn't!? I ain't got no momma no more! T_______T


Bastard alien farmer freak you're messing with the wrong BAT!
Your arrogance will be your downfall

....uhhh Where..... Bruce show yourself!!!
Mmm.. Okay.


FINAL FORM RIDE.......



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.

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...

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...

QY SD God Gundam - Mini WIP, Assembly Cure and Review

Thank GOD I'm back! Lumix is back and my GunPla energy has been over the top! I'm feeling good this morning and built Gundam Alex. Well more on that next time, but again, thank GOD I can finally review my QY God Gundam! Starting off, here is the box of QY's bootleg of God Gundam (Deitg Warrior). Unboxing this miniscule kit, there are only 5 runners along with the polycaps. ..And here's my bootleg Unicorn (mfg by Jargon), envious why he does not have a review. Issue 01: Starting off our assembly cure, carefully shave off the chest piece by a hobby knife to snugly fit it into the chest armor. Issue 02: Like most of my QY kits, head continues to be problematic. Cut the male connectors and apply glue to the seams. Issue 03: Waist armor male connectors are too thick. Shave by a hobby knife or sand it down to fit the pieces. Issue 04: Arms too have fitting issues. Cut the male connectors and then glue. Make sure you do not forget the poly cap when gluing! Is...
