HG 1/144 Sinanju + 1/48 Sinanju Head Base + a bonus Cannon [or Canon, well whatever.] Sunday, July 14 of this year. I was visiting local stores where Class A's, Bootleg and Fake Copies of Figures are being sold. I saw a lot of cool new figures [even though those are copies] but one Unit really caught up my attention. This Dude:

Lately, i have been watching this series Gundam Unicorn and have always been amazed on how Full Frontal Move using the red comet, Sinanju. and For a while i have been playing Dynasty Warriors 3: Gundam on PS3, and lately been using Sinanju as my pilot's unit.
So let's get started:
Inside the package Contains 14 Frames, 3 Manuals.

• 1. Unit Manual
• 2. Headbase Manual
• 3. Extra Cannon [sadly, the gatling gun is not included.]

I first assembled the Head Base cause this was the first head base i have and was wondering how big is 1/48. Let's get to the good pointss first,

• 1. Detailed, yes it is.
• 2. it moves.

The Bad points:

• 1. It's plain red, you have to paint it to get the color details done.
• 2. Placeholder for the Unit doesn't move, there is no articulation. Instead if you want to move it, you have to disassemble it.
• 3. Needs to be properly balanced before it can hold the Sinanju

The Extra Cannon [again, the gatling gun is not included]

Thankful for Daban for including this extra cannon in the kit, but probably anyone else who would acquire the same would say "IT won't fit the Sinanju's rifle." yes, it doesn't fit.
Sinanju
I won't be detailing this part, Assembling

Overall

• 1. The Kit is suprisingly detailed and almost perfectly copied.
• 2. Articulation is good, but handle most with care when turning since it's plastic is much softer than the Bandai Version
• 3. The Cannon was a good addition, but trust me it won't fit the original rifle.
• 4. Head base must be balanced well before it can hold the Unit, or see the fall of the Red comet right in front of your eyes!
• 5. The Sticker is Bad. It sticks but not aligned.

Bandai HGBF 1/144 XM-X9999 Crossbone Gundam Maoh

*Updated

This coming month, a new add-on well thats what I think - named Skull Booster will be released - But before that let's take a look at the 14th HGBF Model kit "Cross Bone Gundam Maoh which appeared later in the series.

The XM-X9999 Crossbone Gundam Maoh (クロスボーンガンダム魔王 Kurosubōn Gandamu Maō?) is a mobile suit from the anime series, Gundam Build Fighters, and is a variant of the XM-X1 Crossbone Gundam X-1. The Gunpla is built and primary piloted by Mao Yasaka.

One thing I really loved about the HGBF Model Line was their fancy box art - here we see X-Bone Maoh showing us a handful of it's chest cannon.

Upon completion, let's review what we have: first we have of course the X-Bone Maoh kit which was of course small but not as small as F91.  Colour scheme was a little dull and boring but comparing to X-Bone original scheme I think with a little enhancing this one is better. Then we have a pair of peace sign hands - Maoh Yasaka's Master signature stance and some Triggering Hands. Then We have a large amount of Beam Blades, a pirate gun and a couple of daggers.

Up Front - Just like I stated before the color scheme was a little dull although the the particle light recharge scheme that were compsoed of stickers was somehow cool. And btw, that scheme has an available marker so might want to change that with those.

At Left Side - See, the Bone Backpack doesn;'t seem to be detachable so the Bone Booster that will be released is somehow questionable and a little different from what this kit already have.

Back - And Emphasizing on the X-Bone Back Pack that is yes the same as the original Crossbone but with the Bluish Particle Charge scheme.

Right Side - and have you noticed the Gun size on her side skirt? it's enormous right? haha but cool~

One of the coolest things you get in this kit are these Peace Signs which I beleive Maoh Yasaka's Massters Signature psoe which he inherited.  Reminds me of Nobell though....

Bone Blades - which are yes can be change according to your hearts desire, can be a sword, a jur or even a spear.

Skull Chest - what most customizers want fromt his kit. Even me, this is one of the things that made me like this kit more. And would you even believe that up until now, I don't have Gundam X Maoh - and prefered tog et this one first because of it's skull chest.

Up close, the Skull opens its mouth and with just a little playful iamgination, imagine it shoots a large plavsky beam.

Under it's foot, are dagger slots that I have no idea what for. Do real pirates put these kind of stuff?

Then it has those cool daggers that looks like the daggers of Asuma in Naruto.

And who say's it can't spar with The O? it can also hold up to four beam sabers, 2 in the back and 2 in the hands.

Let's not forget this enormously big Pirate's Gun. It's Unique though since crossbones are the only one who has this type of Gun....

...Just don't think of real pirates, becuase if you do - you'll realize aren't those guns reloaded manually with gun powders?

Then It's Pirate Sword. One thing I really don't like about crossbone is the proportionality of it's weapons - this weapon seems too big for crossbone too.

Well what the heck - looks cool anyway.

And as a finalization - the pirate gun and sword can be combined together to form this odd looking machine gun rifle thing.

To sum everything up - The kit was never half bad, it doesn't lack any articulation and has bunch load of weapons that I'm sure you will find cool. Again, the scheme seems dull and needs a little polishing, the Skull Chest gimmick is still cool.

Bandai HGCC 1/144 SYSTEM ∀-99 ∀ Gundam

The white wings of moon butterflies Flicker down the streets of the city, Blushing into silence the useless wicks of sound-lanterns in the hands of girls. —H.P. Lovecraft, Poetry Of The Gods

The second kit I had when I was younger was the NG/FG 1/144 version of this kit. Turned out that I never really did like it before until day by day I learned to like it. And I was one of those few who thought Loran was a girl. What I do enjoy much is how tall the FG/NG version was and how he had nice legs gimmicks. But in time, that kit broke joints due to playing and such was stuck in my toy chest eversince. I did planned to restore them but I'am afraid they won't be the same anymore so what I joy when I found that Bandai was releasing an HGUC version of ∀. The joy of having the White Doll again - Moustache power!

The SYSTEM ∀-99 ∀ Gundam (called "Turn A Gundam", aka "∀", "White Doll", "White Devil", "Mustache") is the titular mobile suit of ∀ Gundam. It is piloted primarily by Rolan Cehack.
Comparing from the old FG/NG Turn A kit, this HGCC version was way sleeker, sexier, thinner and highly poseable. One thing though, Moonlight Butterfly wings was a P-Bandai exclusive which actually sucks at the same time there is this colorless core booster included in this kit which doesn't really makes sense at all. And kudos to the small carve of a pilot in the cockpit. :)

Branded as HGCC - CC stand for Correct Century White doll was said to be the end of everything wherein it's ability "Moonlight Butterfly" Wiped Out all existing technology created during the previous centuries. Although there was no clear explanation on how the timeline goes, It was always been an argument if White Doll was the stongest among all the Gundams. Box is designed where White Doll is standing in a place that looks like Old Rome.

Completion - your kit should contain White Doll, A large Oval Shield, A Rifle, Rifle Extension, 2 Beam Saber, 2 pair of closed hand and a pair of open hands, opened chest, opened booster for it's back, 2 add on's for beam saber holder and a colorless core booster.

Front - well since this was the first HG the White Doll had, the only comparison we can do to site enhancements is to compare it to the FG/NG 1/144 version. The height was never changed and body is slimmer as before. The sticker in the forehead wasn't nice since it's so visible. And if you were wondering why I am confident enought to compare this over the FG/NG 1/144 Grade - that scale was good enough to be called an HG if it was made the same year with HG Zaku II [Principality of Zeon, the awfully pink one]. The Cockpit in the middle was also good, magnifying you could see a little pilot sculp over.

The enhancement in the arms was highliy noticeable. It has a slimmer upperarm and a larger forearm.

The Design in the back of the legs was slightly enhance, and yes it should since a better articulation was added.

The Shoulders on the hand looks the same as before.

The Rifle was way better and the Shield was way cooler. The rifle can be extended and turn into a way more cooler gun in which I really don't know what for.

And it now has 2 Beam saber unlike the FG/NG that has a single colorless sword that doesn't match the holder found on the back part of the shoulders.

Chest Missiles - which actually is bad. This is one reason why I wanted to compare this over the FG/NG 1/144 version - this was the same gimiick it has. Removing and Changing parts like this was as bad as eating candy in the rain. And you had to put in a whole lot of effort just to put in details.

Back Boosters - but atleast they added this. BTW, P-Bandai exclusives released version of the White Doll releasing Moonlight Butterfly. Well why can't they just include the wing over regualr release just like O-Gundam?

Articulation was highly good, it can now sit and do poses like this - so we could say it was highly poseable.

It also includes this Colorless Booster - they could have made it bettersince the cockpit part was so good. And I was actually questioning myself "What is this for?"
