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.
