MG 1/100 Sinanju [TT Hongli]

MG 1/100 Sinanju [TT Hongli]

The second unit i'll be presenting, would be from my friend Rhey. The unit still has an incomplete paint job, so color scheme is still a little bad. Decals are not yet complete.

What's cool about the unit is it's massive height compared to other MG units, i know, i know... Sinanju's height is really big so nothing new there. The units articulation is bad maybe because it was a bootleg. I never liked TT Hongli Models in the first place some of their runner are not properly molded and some parts doesn't even match. Resulting to a bad unit.

My Rating: 5 out of 10 [including the fact that it's a TT Hongli Model]

Sinanju Head Base

1/48 Sinanju Head Base [Daban]

Here

MG 1/100 MSZ-006A1 Zeta Plus A1

MSZ-006A1 Zeta Plus A1 [Bandai]

The MSZ-006A1 Ζeta Plus A1 (Z Plus A1) is a part of the MSZ-006+ Zeta Plus line of mass-production mobile suits. The A1 type was the first mass-produced successor to the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam. It was featured in the photo-novel Gundam Sentinel. The unit is piloted by Amuro Ray.

Weekend has ended and I got three figures to show, first one is owned by a good friend of mine back in My University Days. Gundam Zeta Plus A1.

A message to my friend Deniece, "nice paint job!" haha. Well here we go, since it wasn't mine i was a little careful in handling and holding the unit. Articulation wasn't actually that good but we assumed it was because it was an old unit and already an old design. The joints weren't actually bad, but striking a pose would be like 50% impossible. You won't get to strike a pose to it unlike the new units that were previously produced. Joints are still limited from turning from 0 degrees to atleast 90 degrees only. Well, as for the Waverider form it was possible disregarding the fact that the articulation was bad. The Color scheme was a bad ass combination, and the decals if properly placed will be giving an "Hey I am Amuro Ray, and my gundam is cool!" feeling. Weapons are not half bad, but i really found that blue beam saber cool~

My Rating: 7 out of 10 +.3 for the Waverider form

HG 1/144 Gundam Unicorn Destroy Mode

HG 1/144 Unicorn Gundam

Yes, this is not the version with the Limited Edition Unicorn Headbase. Furthermore, this kit contains 1 Manual, 1 Sticker and 8 Runners

Unicorn [Destroy Mode]

After Assembling, the Unit has 1 Beam Rifle and 1 Shield [Not the Armed De]. Articulation of the Unit is good although it's harder to strike a pose because of it's rough design. And Neck articulation is quite bad because of having too much joints. Skirt armors at the back are not quite attached. And furthermore the lack of weapons of the kit is somehow annoying, imagine it has 4 beam saber holder but no beam saber at all [Beam Sabers are included in Unicorn Only]. And I noticed, that each runners are much softer than previous kits, maybe because of it's small designs that it turned to be brittle [not to mention, i didn't have to use any sidecutters at all].
