Bandai HGBF 1/144 Beargguy F (Family)

By Far, the most cutest and adorable Gunpla I have! And just in time before it appears in the series, Mirai Kamiki's Gunpla - Beargguy F (Family). And yes, amongst the 3 Beargguys I have this one stands the most. And as said and can be seen on the Boxart that this was based on Beargguy 2 which was never release and didn't even exist only in the show. If you'll look closely in the boxart a blurry picturee of a box named Beargguy II (2) can be seen, well it's never too alte if they are still planning to release it.

Beargguy F or Family portraits a Mother Bear carrying her Baby Bear around. Mamber is called Mamagguy - colored in white which actually sucks. I don't dislike pure white Gunplas - but I have problems keeping and maintaining them clean. The hardest part was spraying flat clear (matte) over it at the same time keeping it away from dirt in which I failed. Upclose my work is dirty thats why I am planning to obtain another one of this. You may have notice this is the same Beargguy III (San) we all know except it's in white and no large ribbon can be found.

The little one is called Petitgguy, a small cute little Gunpla Bear - flatten it in matte and you'll see he looks too good to eat. What's amazing is it has actual articulation and can stand with proper balancing. Petitgguy has a separate hands for Mamagguy that makes her look like she is holding his child. And aside from those the same arm extender and expression stickers can be found inside the kit. Probably not much of a kit....

Lastly, Petitgguy has a chair like thing that can be attached to Mamagguy's back and be attached to Petitgguy. Then there is to it, and probably the only thing that would catch your attention to buy it is the word "Cute".

P-Bandai HGBF 1/144 Star Build Strike Gundam Ver.RG System

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.

See Full Post

First, whats in the box? The regular Star Build Package will include you the Blue Plabsky Wings together with the Star Build Strike unit so in order to complete your kit you have to separately buy the HGBF Universe Booster in order to get the Power Gate. And you'll end up having two Universe Booster. Now, in the P-Bandai version the kit includes both the Plavsky Wing and Power Gate inside the Box - it should have been that way in the first place. Next, ver RG runners are composed of Pearl coated runners, clear parts and not jsut celar but glittery clear parts and some normal parts. Yes, you read it right normal runners. The Pearl coated runners where for the white parts while the clear parts are for the arts that are colored blue and red and of course the Plavsky Wing and Power Gate. The normal runners are for the grey joints and mostly the gun. Now, what exactly did change? Well probably in the series Star Build Strike has this mode called "RG System" wherein he could generate and focus Plaavsky disperssions in some of its parts or somehow like that haha not pretty accurate huh? But yeah thats more to it, in order to identify it RG System has activated parts of it's frame turns to blue. Well, personally I liked this version with the removal of the Pearl coated parts though, doesn't look right with all that shine and stuff but the RG System parts were cool all in all. :)

P-Bandai Online Hobby Shop Exclusive: RG 1/144 GN-001 Gundam Exia (Trans Am Mode) Gloss Injection Ver.

Before anything else, It's been a while since I have updated my blog so for starters here is a P-Bandai Exclusive for you! Basically it's not mine it's a friend kit, so thanks to him for allowing me to play with his toys - Well, mostly it's the same figure as the the first RG Exia which I already posted here with a different colour that can be identified as it's Trans-am mode in the series.

See Full Post

And mostly that's the only difference you'll get - don't even expect something special inside. No, there is no free toy inside or anything.

And If you're thinking that there was already a Trans-am version of these kits, instead from being an RG - How they are different? Well, basically aside from the details - it's colour is much sttronger and was more accurate than the HG Trans Am kits. Well they are the same Pinkish variant but the gloss effect did a much more realistic effect.

Well it did fit the prefectly good details and yeah, I think this was much better than the normal mode.

And of course, you'll met the same issue as the first one - hard to pose, brittle parts, etc ... And an additional "You cannot top coat me because I am glossy!"

Left - RG Exia, Right - RG Trans Am Exia

Well, If you ask me having both kit is not bad at all since any of the two aint look bad at all.

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.

See Full Post

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.

Bandai - HGUC 1/144 Gundam Unicorn Phenex ver. GFT [Clear]

Ok, so I won't post any-phenex-related info since this would be anotehr time that I would be posting about Unicorns. In fact I'am getting tired of building the same mold for seven times now - anyway... SO, together with the Lame Gold Phenex this is another variant of Phenex - it's build in clear plastics with tiny glitters inside. Not much of a change then.

See Full Post

How did I spot this anyway? Actually I had no idea that this variant even exists but I notice that it has a different GFT box. Usually GFT boxes have red lines on the side but instead this one has yellow.

When I first saw the built in other blogs, it really did look ugly and crappy. The combiantion was awful but after finishing I was actually contented - not to mention I had a hard time asking the seller to sell it to me since it was reserved to someone else.

Comparing to the Lame Gold Phenex, they are almost the same - in terms of mold and equips. The package doesn't have the Phamplet though.

If you do feel dissatisfied, you can always do this - cross-building.

[Bandai] HGUC 1/144 RX-0 Gundam Unicorn Destroy Mode - 7-11 Variant

7-Eleven and Bandai Strikes again, and this time they released one of the favorite Gunpla this genre has - Unicorn. Well, what does it feel so special? You see, one of the unique part of Unicorn was it's Pyscoframe - a lighter green pyschoframe. Just a quick review, Unicorns Psycoframe was made of clear coloured plastics so altering it might be quite a challenge. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it would take a lot of time and resources just to change.

See Full Post

Box - The box covered in white, marked with 7-Eleven logo and a light-green-coloured Pyscoframe Unicorn can be seen.

Armed with decals, a great combination of colour indeed. Well, the sad part was it's the same Unicorn all over again. One shield, one rifle and still no beam saber. The only thing I really dislike about it because aside from the unique psycho frame build it lacks weaponry and gimmicks - well just don't compare it to MG Unicorn which was transformable from normal to destroy.

Articulation will always be the same, and the only thing that will caught your eye is it's strong combination of green. And yes, if it ever crossed your mind it not Gundam Unicorn version Wasabi.

RX078-2 Shot.

The V-Fin has a different shade of green.

7-11 and Unicorn Decals.

Unicorn Shield - some people intend to repalce FA Unicorns Psychoframe with this, why? Because yes, it was lighter and has a much more stronger Greenish appeal rather than the Original Green Psycho frame. although Transforming FA wouldn't be complete since this one has only one shield and FA has 3 and the funnels has a different mold. p.s. Bandai decal was not in the original design, I well - just thought it fits there.

The feet and booster has a metallic greenish scheme to, which actually sucks because cutting it from the runners actually destroys it's quality and creates nub marks which was so hard to remove.

[Bandai] HGBF 1/144 Gouf R35 [Painted]

Now the latest haul that took me a week to finish but still failed because of the crappy spray paint cans, Mr. Rals Gouf R35 as seen on the final battle on the series Gundam Build Fighters. It appeared together with the Master Gundam and has this tornado spinning combo, but hey wo you think they'll release Master Gundam too? or we just had to stich on the HGFC Master Gundam. Anyway, since I dislike the orignal Gouf scheme I had to grab a can of paint and spray it all over. A darker version of the Gouf R35 then I realized it was much darker than expected. Fail huh, then because of the crappy cans of spray paints that actually runied the kit because of the crappy nozzle I was forced to do a little weathering which is not balanced - as you can see on the left arm. Anyway, hope it turns out well for your eyes - and since this is no longer the original scheme of Gouf R35, i would like to call this "Gouf R35 ver. angelprisz"
The MS-07R-35 Gouf R35 is a custom gunpla from the anime series Gundam Build Fighters. It was built and piloted by Mr. Ral.

And hope it not yet too alte to give a little opinion on the kit. SO to summarize everything - Gouf R35 has 10-cannon like fingers on both arms attached as guards. Composed of 2 larger shield on both, it also has two swords that can be sheated on the large shield or over the side of it's legs. It has a large electrical wire amde of soft plastic that can be curved according to desire and 2 sets of hand - 2 clenched left-right and 2 in holding position left and right. Also, a small tank is attached in the back with this weird lookinh ball-like tanks. And How can I forgot, a number of thrusters attached all over different parts of it's body..

So this is is Gouf R35, not much of a difference when it comes to the design over the orignal Gouf BUT when it comes in the kit I think this one has a different mold.

We'll I wasn't sure since I don't have the original Gouf on me but I really think is is.

Finger-like cannons on both Right and Left Arm - busting out everything on it's way.

Then this amazing electrical cord on the right that can be formed as desire since it's soft.

2 Large Shield over the arms.

And 2 Heat Swords that is no longer heat swords but amde out of beams - If my memory is correct the original Gouf has a heated sword instead of a beam sword.

But then again, I am not sure since this is my first Gouf.

Articualtion wasn't half badalthough waist turning is a bit of a failure.

So here we go, HGBF Gouf R35 ver. angelprisz
