THE CRIMSON COMET

Feeling great today and in a mood to blog, blog, blog! Pity how I still have backlogs and I can hear them cry. That can wait. Now we have a spotlight which is if you are a Gundam fan, you are most probably a Kamen Rider junkie! I present - Kamen Rider W Cyclone Joker!!! A good 360 view. You can see how this kit stands tall among my 1/144 collection. A black Kamen Rider? No! A green Kamen Rider? Came with a more dramatic scarf (a bit longer) and an action base connector Plus an action base :D HEN SHIN !! Fiddling the scarf gives a more lively feel Articulation - split and kneel poses? No problem. さあ、お前の罪を数えろ！   Sā, omae no tsumi o kazoero! Hiyaa!!! My favorite pose Rider Kick-u!!! ...And the awkward looking W's signature rider kick And the verdict? Pros: Big! Articulation That defining eyes roc...

I declare August as the great hobby month! I have never posted so frequent in a while. Going in a bit of hiatus seemed to do good for my kit make craving.

Now let's proceed with KR W Cyclone! Joker! HEEEENSHIN! Box size is normal for an MG. Art sports the built kit inside which is new since MG Gundam is drawn. No problems though, it still look kickass awesome! Runners total are what you expect from a humble MG. KR's a human figure to boot and judging from the manual it is comparable to an HG-ish build. A bit disappointed with the amount of foil stickers. Painted the shoulder brace with a Gundam Marker (not the best I've done to be honest lol. The lazy boy inside got the best of me). What keeps me from progressing to another piece is top coating the green parts with gloss. Here showing a trick I picked up from the "Gundam Fans na Pinoy" Facebook group. Hair drying the painted piece immedia...
