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.
