MG Victory Gundam Finally!!!

This is some real great news!

MG Victory Gundam has been announced! A MG kit from Victory gundam! Something that we have been waiting forever since many moons ago! I do think that the boxart looks a little weird though ^_^”. Note that it comes with the original head design, as well as the Hexa head. Cool!

Kudos to Ngee Khiong!

Xnumbers Was Killed While Testing His Gundam

Just kidding ^_^”! Just wanted to drop by and say hi! Don’t worry, I’ve still got reviews waiting to be rolled out! Things got really busy for me recently! Thanks for viewing!

It doesn’t mean we’re up to no good when we’re not posting. Keep this in mind when you miss us.

This should probably be a filler post because I haven’t really had time to type anything. Even arts students get busy sometimes. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

I should occupy myeslf with something more literary, really.

ANYWAY. I’d thought I’d share my gunpla wishlist.

1/100

Astray Red Frame
-Well. Of course I prefer the PG, but cost is always a consideration.

Tieren Ground type
-Well. Really detailed. It looks like a sturdy build too.

Astray Gold Frame Amatsu

-eh. Gold and black works really well. And the design really is reminiscent of noble stuffage. you know, with the cloak like appendages on the back, those power draining claws.

-1/144
0 Gundam battle equipped.

-I just like the idea and the parade colours.

Trans-am Exia (yeah go go!) and Exia R2

-well its Exia. Ha ha ha. Really crisp lines and the focus on melee just makes you feel great.

I’d really hope they come up with more Enact kits too.

Suille Palace Guard Enact (or i’ll mod it myself.)
that landstriker Enact thing Klaus uses

SD

Verde Buster, Blaze Zaku Phantom
-I don’t know, I think the SEED and Destiny SDs were something like the best SD kits achieved. I can’t get over the fixed joint arms in the 00 SD kits

MG

Exia!
-When it gets released in July. Definitely. I put off the 1/100 exia because I knew this would happen.

Destiny

-Well. I’m running out of steam here because I’m not really sure why I want destiny anyway.

Force Impulse
- oh haha, maybe the MG kits might be impulse buys, oh, wow, bad pun.

Acguy

Others

Mechanical Chain Base
Action Stand 2 Black

I risk sounding retarded compared to xnumbers, really.

break from hiatus

It is I! Brazen Folly! Likewise I have new kits to review. They’ll appear pretty soon.

1/144 00 Mr Bushido’s Ahead!

1/144 00 GN-X E.F.F. type

afterwards don’t expect anything in about 12 weeks. I don’t make promises I can’t fufill, so don’t worry. I won’t appear so quickly.

and I need a camera with which I can take better photos with. mmmph.

Konichiwa minna-san! Bokuwa Kaerunodesu!

Hi everyone, I am back! Excuse my crap Jap ^_^”

Ok, I’ve quite a few models to review, including a special painted HCM Pro as well as 2 unbuilt HGs sitting in their boxes!

And of course, almost all of them are UC models!

Look forward to the first review, coming in the next few days!

Bye for now!

Short Hiatus

I know I haven’t been able to blog consistently for the past few weeks, and probably won’t for another 2-3 weeks. Don’t worry, I intend to continue writing for Gundamore when I complete some of my committments. Meanwhile, feel free to savour the many photos and detailed reviews on this blog! I will be reading and replying comments during this hiatus period, so feel free to leave me a comment and expect to get a reply really soon! Thank you readers!

Gundam DX Enhancement

I am currently working on improving my build of the Gundam DX. Pics will be up soon! Stay tuned!

MG RX-78-4 G04 Gundam Review

Sorry for the long, long delay! At least it’s finally up ;P

Twice the amount of pics to make up for the delay!

Pictures:

Summary:

Pros:

• Alternate Rx-78 Colour scheme
• Interesting Mega-beam Launcher
• Very detailed armour
• Cheaper than most MGs
• More than enough dry-transfer included
• Many Stickers Included
• Folding Shield

Cons

• Few panel lines
• No innerframe
• Hands do not fit weapons really well
• Shield can only mount to the one side of the arms

Build Quality

This kit feels rock solid and its weight has an assuring feel to the hand. So far, everything seems perfect. A rather rare case eh? However, the weapon grips are a little too big for the hands to hand though.

Head

You have the usual gundam head design, save for blue replacing red and the exhaust vents are molded in yellow. There is no seperate neck joint unfortunately. The head just simply mounts onto the body with a ball socket type polycap. The joint is a little too loose for my liking even though there are no problems yet.

Body

The body has a very interesting way of building. The inner-most layer has the chest vents detailed as striped layers. Then you will attach the outerpiece of  the chest on top, followed by a blue chest vent cover. No, it doesn’t end there! You have to fit another yellow piece into the blue cover. A bit of an overkill isn’t it? The cockpit hatch can be easily opened. However, it does not pop open on its own at all. The degree of movement is rather small though. The waist occasionally moves up. Not really a problem, just shove it back down! The backpack is rather complicated in itself. There is a rack on each side of the backpack. The power generator for the mega beam launcher docks onto the left rack, and the red cable slots into a folding rack that swings out from the backskirt and attaches onto the mega beam launcher. The mega beam launcher can also dock onto the right side of the backpack. There are tail binders that sticks out from the bottom of the backpack (Wait, are these tail binders?) The armour for the backpack can indeed be removed.

Arms

The arms are extremely bendy. The shoulder is triple jointed, allowing the arms to extend out by unfolding the joints. The elbow is also triple jointed. Altogether, there are 7 joints, including the wrist! The good thing about having so many joints is the insane posability! However, it was a little tough posing the arms as the joints all moved at the same time! Similar to another RX-78 model, the NT-1 Alex, the g04 Gundam features two vulcans on its forearms. The armour on the shoulder slides on top of the shoulder itself and is locked into place by two flaps. This is very unique, since most kits only feature double joints at most. The fingers do not wrap around the guns really well, so adjustments may be needed from time to time.

Legs

The leg joints are tight, but not too tight like in the case of the GP03. Posing is rather easy, as the ankle seem to be able to bend more than the other MGs I have. A semi-complete inner frame is available for the thigh and top of the forelegs. Other than that, the design of the legs is so-so.

Weapons

This gundam comes with the mega beam launcher, a standard-issued beam cannon rifle and two beam sabers. The mega beam launcher is rather unwieldy as the red rubber cord sorts of nudges the launcher out of the hands. There is a peg on the left side of the launcher, right in front of the secondary grip for it to be docked onto the backpack. For the beam rifle, the handle can only be folded to the left, unlike what most other beam rifles can do. However, the sight can be rotated left and right. The shield is very interesting; yes, it slides! Basically, there are two pegs on the underside of the shield to secure it at the two standard lengths. I think that the mechanism is rather steady, as the shield can rotate about while you fold it in order to prevent breakage. Oh, I like how the beam saber hilts are blue ;D

Final Verdict

This is one great MG kit! The colour scheme is catchy and doesn’t bore you no matter how long you look at it, the mega beam launcher is awesome, the price point is perfect, details are way better than other MGs so far. To make it short, it’s probably one of the best MG variations of the RX-78!

Apologies For Not Updating Regularly

My level of commitment has spiked in the past week and will remain this way for some time. I won’t be updating as regularly as before, but the posts will continue to come. I apologize for this. I hope you will continue to read Gundamore! Thanks!
