I was down a local toy shop then to my surprise I saw a bunch of P-Bandai on their stocks. I was choosing a
various selection from Astraea, to P-Bandai SD's but their is this one thing that really caught my eye and got me
pulling out my wallet and showing some bucks. P-Bandai's Star Build Strike version RG System. This post would be
shorter since in reality it's the same HG Build Strike we know. And it can be found
here.

Bandai - HGBF 1/144 - PPGN-001 Gundam Amazing Exia
Let's get back to Gunplas - this here my friend is Amazing Exia the predecessor of Dark Matter. Took me a while before I finally took the kit
and build it since I was too lazy to do so. The PPGN-001 Gundam Amazing Exia is a custom gunpla from the anime series, Gundam Build Fighters,
and is based on the incomplete A5 model developed by the Plavsky Particle System Engineering. It is piloted by Meijin Kawaguchi.
So basically the obvious difference between the two is the color. From the original blue colour of the Exia - mixed with a lighter green
chest, pointed shoulders and doubled padded knee caps.
The head was also changed, the GN sword was changed and the addition of the booster was added. This is with the comparison with the original Exia - but in terms of the difference with the Dark Matter - the change was more in the color + the difference within the weapons. Amazing Exia has GN Sword + a sword on the left while Dark Matter has GN Sword with no blade but instead it will act as a gun and thermal blade and 2 Additional swords; Fire and Ice.
Movements was still the same. Articulation are the same - from Exia. Could have been better if the articulation was the same as the Double 00 Kit.
But in terms of the design and colour combination - this one is probably better than the original Exia and Dark Matter.
One thing the Dark Matter didn't have is this Shield.
The generic sword it has - as I said Dark Matter has 2 Swords: Fire and Ice.
GN-Sword - unlike Dark Matter this one has a blade.
Amazing Exia's Shield.
Amazing Booster same as the Dark Matter Booster - looks like Latios and Latias from Pokemon.
Well, so there you go my Amazing Exia done within 5 hours coated in Matte.
Note: this was a quick post so any errors in my post is due to laziness to check and compare both kits.

Marvel Legends - Infinite Series - BAF Groot - Groot
Probably, of the most unforgettable character in the movie Guardians of the Galaxy is the Monarch of Planet - Groot. Groot was actually an invader
from another planet which captures human for experimentation which was changed way back 2006 and was turned into a noble warrior. By this time
I am writing this, I still don't have the whole Guardians of the Galaxy set and the reason I already have this Build a Figure Groot is because I found
a loose one lurking around the market. Ain't he cute huh?
The Second Build-a-Figure in my collection Groot - if we should compare it along the movie the detail was accurate. In a sense he's a large tree,even the height goes well and those algae
on his body are good. Articulation however have some minor issues depending on the part you will get. This one has an issue over the right arm and having a hard time to rotate via 360 degress.
It still lack articulation though around the waist. Last, the pegs between the joints are so soft that it's too vulnerable from breakage so you might need to handle it with an added care.
He is a good photography subject, aint he?

Marvel Legends - Heroic Age Iron Man - Bleeding Edge - Iron Monger BAF Series
Iron Man from the Iron Monger BAF Series - My favorite suit of all, Bleeding Edge/Heroic Age. Comes in after the Extremis Armour - the self healing-almost-invulnerable running completely with Repulsor Tech.
Again from the Iron Monger Series - Heroic Age Iron Man. See that leg?
Back of the Card with previews from the others - doesn't make sense now really since all of them are already released.
Heroic Age Iron Man and Iron Monger's Leg.
Before anything else, let's first take a selfie. #selfie
So, what I really notice about this and yes I'am still researching is does the design really has to bring out a bulk effect? Just look at his shoulders, they look so masculine comapred to the other boxed like armours. Anyway, figures design is good. Details weren't bad although some paint dubs are not properly aligned.
Oh! look! Mini-me!
If only this core are glowing - much better, but it doesn't so oh well.
And surprisingly, he is figuregenic -and by the way before I forgot, I really don't like those hands. A cleneched and an open one, I guess it's better than having an annoying pointing or holding hand that looks ridiculous on figures, but could have been much better if it's changeable.

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.
Reference: Gundam Wikia
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.
