We're gonna take a look at the High Grade Jesta from Gundam Unicorn. The Jesta's job in combat is to escort the Unicorn Gundam into the battlefield, and then keep the lowly grunt suits off of it while Unicorn goes NT-D Mode and takes on whatever Newtype opponents there are! Unfortunately they don't see too much screen time in episode 5 of Gundam Unicorn, but hopefully the "Black Tri-Stars" Jesta squad will have more of a presence in episode 6. Enough rambling though, onto the review!<br />

The Jesta's articulation is pretty standard for HG kits these days, but there are even some instances where it's better!<br />
<ul>
<li>Head is on the regular HG polycap neck and has no problem moving wherever you want it to</li>
<li>Torso has a ball polycap which allows it to bed slightly at the stomach</li>
<ul>
<li>Unfortunately, the cockpit hatch bumps into the front skirts and limits movement a bit</li>
</ul>
<li>Backpack has no moving parts</li>
<ul>
<li>One attachment point on either side of the top where you can plug in the shield arm piece [either extended or retracted] or the small spike-looking part</li>
<li>Extended shield arm piece can swivel a tiny amount from the backpack, and the shield attaches via a polycap and can rotate and swing up and down</li>
</ul>
<li>Shoulders are ball-jointed into the torso with polycaps and can move around quite well</li>
<li>Arms can move independently of the shoulder armor and can rotate at the attachment point to the shoulder</li>
<ul>
<li>Elbows bend a bit more than 90˚, maybe around 110˚ or something</li>
<li>Right arm has molded-together clips for the beam carbine, while the left arm has a removable beam saber</li>
<li>Hands are pretty standard HG hands, though thankfully a lot of options are included</li>
</ul>
<li>Front and sideskirts can move independently [you need to cut the frontskirts apart though]</li>
<li>Legs connect to the waist with polycaps, and can rotate just below that connection point</li>
<ul>
<li>Knees can bend... maybe 130˚ or so</li>
<li>Ankles can swing forward or backward to allow for a better stance</li>
</ul>
</ul>

Hoo boy, hopefully that didn't bore you too much! The Jesta's pretty neat though; it's definitely got a special operations kind of feel to it with all of the dark blues and streamlined look, and I love the minimal splashes of orange on the visor. It's sturdy too, so don't worry about parts falling off on you for no reason~. The shield arm can be a bit limiting at times, but if you can work with that then you can get some sweet poses with this guy! I decided to give my Jesta a little more of a Katoki feel and slapped on a bunch of extra decals not originally from the kit.</div>

I certainly wouldn't expect the Jesta to have a full arsenal of weapons, would you? As a specialized mobile suit, it just needs two weapons to get the job done, the first being the beam saber.</div>

The other one is, in my opinion, one of the coolest guns in the Gundam multiverse: the beam carbine. It's got a blocky-but-sleek look that really compliments the Jesta, and I think any other beam rifle would just not look as good.<br />

~*~FINAL VERDICT~*~</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'll make this plain and simple: the HG Jesta is a beautiful kit, and if you're a fan of Gundam Unicorn or unique grunt suits then the Jesta is definitely for you. Assembly is super-straightforward, and because of the already simple color scheme it really doesn't require painting to make it look nice [though painting it certainly does help~!]. The HG Jesta will retail for around $20 USD, but saying it's money well spent would be an understatement!</div>

I know my updates have become pretty sparse in the past couple of months, and I have no excuse for that [well, other than lots of art projects...]. I don't want this blog to become abandoned though, and I fully intend to write reviews for some of the kits that have been on queue for far too long. While I work on those, though, I thought of a quick little something to put together to help you, my wonderful readers, get to know me a bit better: my favorites of the Gundam universe! To be a bit more specific:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Favorite mass-produced mobile suit</li>
<li>Favorite mobile suit or Gundam</li>
<li>Favorite pilot</li>
<li>Favorite Gundam series</li>
<li>Favorite kit of each scale I've built so far</li>
</ul>
<div>
Feel free to leave a comment and let me know your favorites as well~! Understand, though, that these are STRICTLY OPINIONS, and if it turns into an all-out "UC vs 00 vs SEED vs WHATEVER" war I will not hesitate to delete replies or the entire post, if it needs to happen. With that said, let's begin!!</div>

<div>
My vote's on the RGM-96X Jesta on this one. Though <i>technically</i> it's not quite as mass produced as the standard GM, it's more than a one-off production, and 12 of these things seems pretty massive to me xD. The Jesta was specifically designed to escort the Unicorn Gundam into battle and keep enemy grunt suits away from it to maximize the NT-D System's effectiveness. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Simply put, the Jesta is just badass. It's a special operations mobile suit and it definitely looks the part. The Unicorn-esque design, along with the unique shield mount and general Katoki aesthetic make the Jesta a winner in my book.</div>

~*~FAVORITE MOBILE SUIT OR GUNDAM~*~</div>

<div>
The RX-121-3C Gundam TR-1 Hyzenthlay is, without a doubt, my favorite Gundam. Hailing from the Advance of Zeta: Flag of the Titans visual novel side story of Gundam Zeta, the Hyzenthlay is the culmination of the Titans Test Team's mobile suit experiments. Unfortunately it's only a concept mobile suit, but that doesn't detract any of its sheer awesomeness. With two shoulder mounted beam cannons, the upper body of the TR-6 Woundwort as its sub-arm unit, and a long blade rifle that can "transform" into a giant claw with a beam emitter palm, what's not to like? And if that's still not enough, the <a href="http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110304024519/gundam/images/5/55/Hyzenthlay-rah-i.jpg">Hyzenthlay-Rah</a> goes a step further with two Hrududu II units and another rifle!</div>

<div>
As far as angsty teenagers piloting 50-foot tall robots go, Banagher Links is at the top of the list for me. Lovingly dubbed "Banana" by the folks of /m/, Banagher follows suit in the Gundam pilot stereotypes. However, there are instances where he goes beyond that and achieves a level of badassery that not even Kamille, Flit, or Setsuna could ever reach [for example, the scene in episode 4 when he punches out Captain Zinnerman].</div>

<div>
Assuming we're just going by anime series, it's a [frustratingly tough] tie between Gundam Unicorn and 08th MS Team. Unicorn boasts a fantastic story, mobile suit designs by Katoki as far as the eye can see, and that gorgeous OVA-level art style we've come to love so much. 08th MS Team, however, has an equally fantastic story, but more in the sense of realism: that is, it feels like the only Gundam series that properly reflects what fighting a war with giant robots would really be like [to some extent, of course]. The characters are all awesome and incredibly unique as well.</div>

~*~FAVORITE KIT OF EACH SCALE I'VE BUILT SO FAR~*~</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's kinda dawned on me that, as I come to this section, I really can't choose just one favorite kit of each scale. After having built so many over the past few years, I can't say there's a single kit that I haven't loved putting together. I suppose for 1/60 scale my vote would have to be the <a href="http://babytheendgunpla.blogspot.com/2010/10/pg-00-raiser.html">PG 00 Raiser</a> since that's the only one I've built, but among the myriad of HGs and MGs I can't pick out one of each to call my favorite; they've all got their ups and downs. This section ended up being kind of cheesy, but I hope you can understand where I'm coming from with this ^__^;;</div>

Hey everyone, I've got a kickass Master Grade Gunpla review for you! We're going to be looking at the MG Gundam Mk.II kit, specifically the limited edition HD Titans Colors version. Those of you familiar with the Universal Century timeline of the Gundam multiverse know that the Gundam Mk.II comes from the Zeta Gundam series. In celebration of the series releasing on Blu-Ray with more vibrant colors and animation touch-ups, Bandai released this version of the Mk.II 2.0 as well as three other MG kits in HD colors. Now that that's all out of the way, let's take a look at this awesome kit!</div>

For a MG, the Mk.II isn't lacking in articulation at all, and this is even further pronounced by the "version 2.0" inner frame. There are parts of construction with this kit [specifically the legs] that really just blew me away at the amount of detail and thought put into how each moving part fits together.<br />
<ul>
<li>The head is ball-jointed to the neck, which is ball-jointed to the collar/shoulders</li>
<ul>
<li>The vulcan pod can be detached from the head [which I've done for the next set of pictures]</li>
</ul>
<li>Torso can bend forward, back, and side to side at the stomach area</li>
<ul>
<li>The Titans Mk.II uses a different piece to connect the torso to the waist, which allows the torso to rotate a little bit</li>
<li>Cockpit hatch can open up</li>
</ul>
<li>Backpack's thrusters are slightly movable</li>
<ul>
<li>The two tall thrusters that the beam sabers sit on are on ball joints and can move</li>
<li>Beam sabers are [obviously] detachable</li>
</ul>
<li>The arms attach onto the torso with a large peg</li>
<ul>

Quite an impressive list of all of the different articulated points, but it just doesn't capture how posable the Mk.II really is.</div>

The Mk.II comes with a pretty modest amount of accessories, but before we get to the big stuff let's check out the beam sabers.</div>

It really makes me so happy that the Mk.II can reach for and grab the beam sabers with no trouble at all; it looks totally natural. The beam sabers are pretty normal for MG kits though: they fit over a tab on the hand and then you just pop the effect part right in!</div>

Next up is the Gundam Mk.II's beam rifle. I don't have anything particularly special to say about it except that despite what the manual says, you definitely can't attach it onto the side skirt armor easily >__> The ammo packs are removable and swappable, but I don't see myself ever needing to do that.</div>

The two spare ammo packs for the beam rifle are stored on the back of the shield, which can fold and condense in on itself. It's got a really solid connection, and I like that the joint they use for the shield is the same type of joint used on the HG Advance of Zeta kits since the Mk.II is a Titans prototype suit, so it would share a lot of qualities with other early Titans mobile suits.</div>

And finally, the bazooka. There are some more shiny HD decals on the bazooka that really give it a much cleaner and exciting look than, say, the RX-78-2 Gundam 2.0's bazooka. As I mentioned earlier, the bazooka can clip onto the back skirt, but be careful not to damage the water transfer decals at all!</div>

~*~FINAL VERDICT~*~</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I don't think I need to beat around the bush at all: the MG Gundam Mk.II is a fantastic kit and one of the best constructed Master Grades available. Whether you like the Titans colors or the AEUG colors version, I highly recommend picking one up [though keep in mind that the Titans colors version has that extra bit of waist articulation]. The MG Gundam Mk.II HD Titans Colors retails for around $45, but as this is a limited kit they're becoming more scarce [though not NEARLY as scarce as the MG Hyakushiki HD Colors] now is the time to buy one! :D<br />

With my new major at school, I've been pretty consumed by the myriad of drawing projects. In light of that, let me tell you about the stuff I'm currently working on!<br />
<br />
<br />
~*~BUILD PROGRESS~*~<br />
<br />
I'm currently juggling a few different kits right now, and though I went through somewhat of a Gunpla lull a few weeks back I've been building whenever I have a few hours of free time.<br />
<br />
First up is the HG Zudah which is almost done. Painting all of the darker blue markings on it has taken a lot of the build time, and so far I think it looks pretty good. The white trim has been a nightmare to get right, but luckily the end is in sight!<br />
<br />
I've been making slow progress on the MG Full Armor Unicorn Gundam as well. I'm forcing myself to take this build slowly though, because I want it to be as close to perfect as it can get. I'm also on the same mindset for the MG Ex-S Gundam that I'll be painting Deep Striker colors, but due to the generally cold weather of winter I can't work on it much.<br />
<br />
All three of the resin kits are here at school with me as well, but since they take a considerably longer amount of time to get any work done, I'm waiting for a weekend >__>;;<br />
<br />
<br />
~*~DECALS~*~<br />
<br />
I've almost got the HG 00 Qan[T] Full Saber finished up in terms of decals. This was my first attempt at water transfer decals, both from Bandai and SamuelDecal. Most of them went on without any problems, but the long skinny ones for the GN Sword Bits were nothing short of a nightmare to position.<br />
<br />
I also have some decals to put on the Hi Nu Gundoom, but it needs a clear coat first =\<br />
<br />
<br />
~*~PHOTOGRAPHY~*~<br />
<br />
While I haven't upgraded the camera I've been using for this blog, many of you may have noticed that I changed backdrops and lighting for photos quite a few times. Now, though, that problem is no more, for I am the proud owner of a Sunpak eBox Studio photobox! I'm really excited to break it in~<br />
<br />
<br />
~*~COSPLAY~*~<br />
<br />
I made a decision [on a whim] to make a complete Gundam TR-1 Hazel Custom cosplay from cardboard and whatever other relevant materials I'd need. I haven't started construction yet, since I still need to figure out what needs resizing to fit me [I don't have the same proportions as a Gundam, after all!], but when I do start I'll keep you posted on that to the best of my ability!!Baby TheEndhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08631705954767099649noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759421758348641882.post-85422468285263920952011-12-31T15:53:00.000-05:002011-12-31T15:53:01.128-05:00BLOG STATUSHi readers, long time no chat! I just want to quickly let you all know that I will be making more posts soon. A problem I've been looking to fix for a while has been the quality of my photoshoot area, but I've purchased a lightbox that I'll be able to set up on January 8th or so. Around then, I should be able to give you guys a good review with proper photos!<br />
<br />
Until then~Baby TheEndhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08631705954767099649noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759421758348641882.post-20801139320022831372011-10-18T14:52:00.001-04:002011-10-18T14:52:47.270-04:00TT Hongli and YouAs a blogger of the Gunpla community, I feel like this post would have come up sooner or later. I don't plan on making this long-winded or anything, and by no means am I calling anybody out on anything. These are simply my opinions, and should be regarded as such.<br />
<br />
<br />
~*~Baby TheEnd's Views on KO [knock-off] Gunpla~*~<br />
<br />
To put it bluntly, KO Gunpla companies are absolutely in the wrong. Considering each product is meticulously designed by Bandai, to be reproducing these kits using cheap labor and cheap plastic, and then selling them at a fraction of the intended price doesn't sit well with me. Gunpla is by no means an inexpensive hobby, and as harsh as this sounds, if you don't have the money for it then you're out of luck. It also goes without saying that there are plenty of cheap Bandai kits out there, and while these do tend to be the older kits [and SD kits, if you're into that] they still serve their purpose. And with pretty minimal effort, these [and all other] kits can be modified to have improved articulation, more detail, and so on.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg_acFrAmm-K6pYwI4DHEX1fy_IfuEjrzojh-hy5D_Aode-PlP8MewVIgHgYDvvo3JxWQJVb8yqt5n8cQdlQQE-bod5kmBcM8bMl2z2f-b0J7lbwI9Gj-AUjfk0ZBb93_DNFc567bTGCg/s1600/freedomefv00.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg_acFrAmm-K6pYwI4DHEX1fy_IfuEjrzojh-hy5D_Aode-PlP8MewVIgHgYDvvo3JxWQJVb8yqt5n8cQdlQQE-bod5kmBcM8bMl2z2f-b0J7lbwI9Gj-AUjfk0ZBb93_DNFc567bTGCg/s320/freedomefv00.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
However, with all hobbies you need to know how to restrain yourself from going overboard. If I bought every kit I wanted as soon as it came out, I'd never have any money. Period. The fact of the matter is that, especially for new kits, they aren't going anywhere, so you have plenty of time to save up some money to buy them.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkasHGM3LEDLPQdrHGfMQfTMvgs21ipO8Yis7eY0Oqmc2UySptjBtZfDLyPiopPui_itz4k_zv7jD0vZCRgp4Fj6TMCZJAtCWZcicVuuwL13F12XitYD2pb-Y-xe02JU6ndjAthe80pzA/s1600/IMG_3464.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkasHGM3LEDLPQdrHGfMQfTMvgs21ipO8Yis7eY0Oqmc2UySptjBtZfDLyPiopPui_itz4k_zv7jD0vZCRgp4Fj6TMCZJAtCWZcicVuuwL13F12XitYD2pb-Y-xe02JU6ndjAthe80pzA/s320/IMG_3464.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
But back to the KO Gunpla products, I can't say I'm ok with buying these fake model kits. Again, Bandai was the one who originally designed them, and giving your money to anyone else for their design seems almost like theft. I've heard of people using these kits specifically to get certain parts they need for a custom build or something similar, and I'm not sure if I'm 100% accepting of that or not. However, spare parts are quite difficult to obtain, so at the very least I can sympathize with those people.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3i0vxvOD_-H1foYSlw1b7Nef7WOldmeDes-F69IJfF_VR-Dw9TYQPghPZhWLEeV-tO8UXpwkLnuxU-2bolOo2FMD1QhwO-R1dIrsbRl1icIYFAvftubV2VZK0gPZ0uCgP2P0OaUihQB0/s1600/instructioncover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3i0vxvOD_-H1foYSlw1b7Nef7WOldmeDes-F69IJfF_VR-Dw9TYQPghPZhWLEeV-tO8UXpwkLnuxU-2bolOo2FMD1QhwO-R1dIrsbRl1icIYFAvftubV2VZK0gPZ0uCgP2P0OaUihQB0/s320/instructioncover.jpg" width="228" /></a></div>
<br />
Now, there is one company in particular I'd like to talk about: MC Model. This company really blurs the line of what a knock-off kit is. MC Model seems to be a pretty new company that takes Bandai Gunpla kit with resin conversion parts attached to it and creates a regular plastic model kit using the modified Gunpla. To avoid trouble, they change the word "Gundam" to "Gundoom," and this is really the only part that I'm sure I'm not alright with. Name change aside, the line is blurred as to what this kit is, as I said earlier. I fully realize that a Bandai Gunpla kit was used as a base for the resin conversion parts, and then all of this was re-cast using plastic. However, the quality of the four kits that MC Model has produced thus far are absolutely superb. The plastic feels a little cheap, but these kits can hold together well, there are tons of option parts [extra hands and stuff] included, and the water transfer decals are [reportedly] superior to the ones Bandai produces.<br />

<br />
Let's look at this from another perspective for a moment. Resin conversion parts are resin recasts of a modified Gunpla kit which is used at the master prototype. By creating multiple copies of the modified kit's new design, would this be considered a KO resin kit? What about full resin kits, rather than resin conversion parts? Does making multiple plastic model recasts of a Bandai kit with resin conversion parts count as a KO as well? This is where the definition of what you consider a KO kit would likely begin to get a bit fuzzy.<br />
<br />
<br />
All of this is definitely a very complicated matter, and I definitely don't consider myself a master of the subject by any means. In the end, though, what it really comes down to is peoples' demand for the continued production of these cheap KO kits. They'll no longer be a thorn in Bandai's side [and a blemish on the Gunpla community] when people who insist on purchasing these fake kits cease to do so, putting the money in Bandai's pocket where it should be.Baby TheEndhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08631705954767099649noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759421758348641882.post-87434553744504601722011-10-16T17:51:00.003-04:002011-10-16T17:51:51.918-04:00HG Extreme Gundam<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi everyone, I've got another Gunpla review comin' at ya~! Today we're going to look at the HG Extreme Gundam, a unique mobile suit designed for the game Gundam VS Gundam: Extreme VS. I'm not quite sure what role it plays in the game, but as a model kit it does a pretty great job of measuring up to the more recent HG kits! So without any more chatter, let's dive right in!</div>

Extreme Gundam has pretty standard articulation, so let's go through a quick rundown of that.<br />
<ul>
<li>Head is on the double ball-jointed polycap and can move around pretty well</li>
<ul>
<li>The neck could have been a little higher up so the head can move easily over the clavicle armor</li>
<li>The rear face is, unfortunately, not displayable :(</li>
</ul>
<li>Torso uses the ball polycaps to allow for movement at the stomach area</li>
<ul>
<li>Can rotate 360˚ around [don't know why you'd need that though >__>;; ]</li>
</ul>
<li>Backpack's thrusters can move up and down</li>
<li>Beam sabers are removable, but not usable as actual beam sabers =\</li>
<li>Shoulders are ball-jointed into the torso and can swing forward and rotate well</li>
<li>Arms peg into the shoulder armor and can rotate at that connection</li>
<ul>
<li>Elbows are double jointed</li>
<li>Standard HG ball joint hands included~</li>
<li>Clear blue parts on the forearms can be moved to attach the shield</li>
</ul>
<li>Skirt armor... psh, what skirt armor?</li>
<li>The legs connect to the waist via a T-shaped ball/socket connection</li>
<ul>
<li>Knees are double jointed but can only bend about 90˚</li>
<li>Ankle armor is attached in the same style as HG 0 Gundam</li>
</ul>
<li>Feet are connected to the legs with ball joints, and can move around a good amount</li>
</ul>

One thing that really pops out at me about this kit are the clear blue parts. It's a very unique look, and I quite like it. I know the clear parts thing has already been done plenty of times before, but this time it's kind of refreshing and new. </div>

Next up is the very unique beam rifle! Since Extreme Gundam's pilot is voiced by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gackt">Gackt</a>, I guess they thought making the rifle look like a guitar would be fitting. It definitely adds some interesting flair to this Gundam xD</div>

~*~FINAL VERDICT~*~</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With clear blue parts adorning its otherwise normal look, a beam rifle guitar and guitar case shield and a face on the back of its head, Extreme Gundam is, without a doubt, an interesting mobile suit. Retailing for around $20, it's definitely a fun kit and I'd recommend picking Extreme Gundam up if you're looking to add something familiar yet unique to your collection. And if you're a fan of Gackt, then this is really his official mobile suit! xD</div>

Like I mentioned in the post earlier today, this is the review of the HGUC Sinanju, Full Frontal's customized mobile suit in Gundam Unicorn. This fella was one of several I purchased at Anime Central, a convention I attended in Chicago this May. As per usual, everything you see is hand painted, including the gold emblems! :O. Well, let's get to it~<br />

Sinanju is about equal in size to Unicorn Gundam [Destroy Mode], so he's pretty tall for a HG. It's also got a heap of articulation, so let's take a look at that! From the top down:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The head is on a ball joint, but can't move too much because of the large collar armor</li>
<li>The shoulders peg into the torso, and can rotate as much as the large back thrusters will allow</li>
<ul>
<li>The spiked thruster flaps on the sides can move up and down to accommodate for more movement at the shoulder</li>
</ul>
<li>The arms can bend upward at the shoulder to about a 90˚ angle, and at the elbow to about the same</li>
<li>The legs can do about 90˚ forward and back, becoming hindered by the large skirt armor</li>
<ul>
<li>The knees bend in two spots, but only to a combined total bend of about 90˚ :(</li>
<li>The side calf thrusters can be pulled out slightly and turned</li>
<li>The rear calf armor can be pulled out to reveal yet another thruster</li>
</ul>
<li>The ankle joints on Sinanju are kind of strange, and it'll take some time to get it properly balanced</li>
<li>The large back thrusters can turn horizontally and vertically thanks to the small arms that attach them to the backpack</li>
<ul>
<li>The red armored parts on both thrusters can be "opened"</li>
<li>The fuel tanks are ball jointed into the back, and can be removed</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<br />

And finally, Sinanju's awesome gold-trimmed shield. As I mentioned earlier, the beam axes are stored on the inside when not in use, and the grenade launcher is stored at the narrow end to give it some emergency firepower.</div>

And because the beam axes technically still can function while attached to the shield, you can get some really crazy beam shield sword things going~<br />

~*~FINAL VERDICT~*~</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The HGUC Sinanju is simply a must-have for fans of Char Aznable. Though he doesn't actually pilot the Sinanju, it has a very Char feel to it, almost like a thinned down Sazabi. All of the parts that are gold on mine were painted, so they'll either require stickers or be molded in an orange-yellow color. Like all HGs, if you take the time to get the extra details just right, it really makes the final kit look that much more fantastic. It took me at least 3 hours total to do all of the gold emblems, but damn does it look nice! This kit retails for $23 or so, depending on where you shop, but this fearsome-looking red mobile suit will certainly not disappoint!</div>

I'm sorry for not updating at all over the summer, but I was painfully busy between taking an art class, hopping between odd jobs, and spending time with my friends back home. Not that that's an acceptable excuse or anything though... >___><br />
<br />
ANYWAY, I thought I'd give you guys a little heads up as to what's on my plate right now.<br />
<br />
<br />
~*~KITS TO BUILD/REVIEW~*~<br />
<br />
Since I'm back at college, I don't have access to all of my wonderful Gunpla, but I do have the MC Hi-Nu Gundoom, the HG 00 Qan[T] Full Saber, the MG Gundam Mk.II HD Titans Color, the MG 00 Qan[T], the just-finished HG Extreme Gundam, and the HGUC Sinanju, in no particular order. On top of that, I've got the HGUC Hyakushiki + Mega Bazooka Launcher, the HG 0 Gundam, and the behemoth MG Ex-S Gundam to assemble!<br />
<br />
I've got quite a bit to go through, and even more back home to rotate in during breaks ^__^;; Today's review will be of the HGUC Sinanju, just in case you were wondering~<br />
<br />
<br />
~*~OTHER THINGS I'VE BEEN UP TO~*~<br />
<br />
I've recently [since early Spring or so] taken up a few extra things to do for fun, the first being the Pokémon Trading Card game. I collected the cards when I was a lot younger, back when Pokémon was really still taking off in the US, but it was mostly that: a collection of cards that ended up sitting in bags in my basement. Over the course of this past year, though, my roommate <a href="http://seraphimvisualkei.blogspot.com/">Seraphim</a> and I have been attending the local Pokémon TCG club and, as a result, have bought tons of new cards to satisfy our different playing styles. It's honestly a fun card game, my only complaint being that every so often card sets will get phased out, rendering those cards illegal in tournament play which carries over into the club, of course].<br />
<br />
My other new addiction is a fledgeling free MMO called Spiral Knights. Produced by Sega and Three Rings, it's an incredibly simple and fun game that has a Legend of Zelda feel to it. I really could go on and on about this, but I'd rather not [at least right now :P]. I'll finish up with this: for those of you who do play Spiral Knights, you're welcome to add me in-game! If you want to add me, my name is Hazel-Rah, and just let me know that you're a reader of my blog so I don't think you're some random stranger trying to friend me xD<br />
<br />
And that's all for now!

Baby TheEnd here with a new Gunpla review [FINALLY!]~. Today's review is on the HG Brave [Standard Test Type]. The Brave makes an appearance in the Gundam 00 Movie, A wakening of The Trailblazer, but don't show up until about halfway through. Combining the transforming capabilities of the Flag/ENACT and the form factor of the Masurao/Susanoo, the Brave is one of my favorite mobile suit designs. Let's get this started~!<br />

The Brave's posability is vastly improved from the HG ENACT and HG Susanoo, though because of its transformation some of the joints are a bit strange. The head is on a ball joint, and can move around very well. The chest can open up as part of the transformation, and the shoulders pull out for the change to mobile armor mode as well. The shoulder armor parts are on ball joints and can rotate around the main shoulder piece. The shoulder joints themselves are on a short peg with ball joints on both ends, and can move around pretty well. The limiting factor in the arms, though, is the upper arm-to-shoulder connection. Because it's such a tight fit, the arms become a bit of a hassle to pose. The elbows only bend in one place, and the hands are ball jointed onto the arms. The wing arms ball joint into the lower back and can move around at the connection point, and the binders ball joint onto the other side of the wing arms and can rotate and fold up.<br />

As for the lower body, the front waist armor ball joints into the front of the waist, but can't move around all that much. The torso ball joints into the top of the waist, and can lean back and twist around. The hips are very strangely shaped, and take their design from the HG Flag/ENACT kits. They ball joint right into the top of the legs, and can rotate around a horizontal peg on the waist. The upper leg armor is ball jointed onto a ring that covers the top of the leg and can turn around the leg for the transformation. The knees can bend at two points, and can bend very well at that. The feet [clearly inspired by the Masurao/Susanoo] ball joint into the bottom of the legs and can rotate and bend at the round ankle joint. The foot pads are attached to the foot column thing via a ball joint.<br />

The Brave is a pretty posable kit, but the arms are a bit difficult to work with sometimes. This guy's also REALLY tall, but with the very lanky build it doesn't have a very imposing presence among other kits on the shelf. Whether it's on an action base or not, though, it always looks so awesome and dynamic~!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Simply put, the HG Brave is an awesome kit. If you're a fan of the more lanky and tall kits, then the Brave is definitely for you. I didn't show much of the mobile armor mode, but the transformation is very straightforward and looks pretty darn cool~. It requires a fair bit of painting to make it look accurate, but it's well worth the work. The Commander Test Type version is the exact same kit with a few small aesthetic changes, so either version is worth buying. The HG Brave retails for around $17, and is a fantastic green addition to any Gunpla collection~!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSb58Xr2zdmD2UrYPJiwQTFPAcARzL3yDSk7qTb5xSvhdE7R__6aUQio4mGnhyphenhyphen-kBWxdqigThOG9tyFZmv1KpbVagWbM4D0u6J8NGtyBV6kBgqdtTxO2Q5xiFLku08XdKK2IvhQx_jjfo/s1600/IMG_8436.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSb58Xr2zdmD2UrYPJiwQTFPAcARzL3yDSk7qTb5xSvhdE7R__6aUQio4mGnhyphenhyphen-kBWxdqigThOG9tyFZmv1KpbVagWbM4D0u6J8NGtyBV6kBgqdtTxO2Q5xiFLku08XdKK2IvhQx_jjfo/s320/IMG_8436.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

The Gaddess is quite a limber mobile suit, especially despite the huge shoulders and skirt armor. From the top down, the head is on a double jointed neck and can move around pretty well, though the shape of the head will limit how far up the Gaddess can look [because of the large collar armor]. The escape pod/GN Drive mount is on a swing joint, and the little wing parts are also able to swing out. The shoulders, despite looking huge and simple, actually have a few joints inside that allow for the shoulder-to-body connection to move around, the shoulder armor itself to move, and the shoulder-to-arm connection to be mobile as well. The arms are single-jointed at the elbow, and they can't bend much further than 90˚ or so =\. The hands are your standard HG ball-jointed hands.<br />

The waist is on a simple peg joint, so it can only rotate [no bending or anything fancy]. The side skirts are on ball-peg polycaps, but because of their shape they can't move around much. The back skirt is stationary, and the front skirt can swing forward a little bit. The hips are ball jointed, but like the Garazzo they can't move around too much because of the joint design. The legs are double jointed and can bend quite nicely, and the feet... are a mess, just like the Garazzo >___><br />

I quite like the look of the Gaddess, especially the head. The color scheme is also a huge plus for me, since there are really too few green mobile suits [I'm counting teal as a green in this case :P ]. The only major downside to the Gaddess is that, with all of the GN Sword Bits attached [as you'll see later], it gets a bit heavy and the side skirts impede leg movement a lot.<br />

~*~ACCESSORIES~*~<br />
<br />
The Gaddess only has one accessory, the GN Heat Saber. The red parts were painted on [and are actually starting to chip off a bit], so it's a simple sword, but it looks awesome!<br />

The Gaddess looks even more menacing with all seven of its GN Sword Bits equipped, fully ready for combat! Unfortunately, I lost the clear display parts to have six of them floating off of the shoulders :(<br />

~*~FINAL VERDICT~*~<br />
<br />
The Gaddess is a pretty simple kit, honestly. This means, though, that it doesn't take too much work to make it look good, since it looks pretty snazzy already~. For collectors of the Gundam 00 Innovade suits, fans of the design or those with a desire to add some more vibrant colors to the sea of red, white, blue and yellow, the Gaddess is definitely for you. It retails for around $18, and it's a fun build and pairs up quite nicely with the HG Cherudim Gundam!<br />

I know this has been long overdue, but here it is: the HG 00 Qan[T] review! Like I said before, though, this review is in video format instead of my usual photo/text style. I've embedded the video below, and if the video doesn't show up then you can <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-mM3NUNNnM">click here</a> to watch it on YouTube.<br />

This'll be a good update, I promise. I'll be showing you some of the stuff I'm working on right now, planned kits, and I'll also take a look at some of the upcoming Gunpla releases. So, let's start this off~!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>~*~CURRENT WORK~*~<br />
<br />
I've got a few projects going simultaneously right now, but I'm quite excited for each one's completion!<br />
<br />
The first one is the MG V2 Gundam Ver.BTE. As I mentioned in a previous post, this is using the MG Wing Gundam Ver.Ka's inner frame and modifying the old HG 1/100 V2 Gundam parts to fit onto the frame, all the while giving it my personal touch. I've probably given it a good three days or so of work now, and I think for my first kitbash it's going well. The head is basically done, I just need to figure out how to secure the face inside the head.<br />
<br />
The upper body is maybe halfway finished right now. I still need to figure out how the iconic V2 chest will all fit together, as well as fine-tune the attachment of the core fighter's nose cone to the back. And, of course, I need to make the thrusters as well~.<br />
<br />
The waist is almost done. I just need to do the side skirts [which should be incredibly easy] and the back skirts. With the back skirts, though, I cut them apart because I didn't like that ugly plastic bit connecting them. However, since they are meant to move together [that is, moving as if they're attached to each other] I'm going to use the Wing Gundam's back skirts as a base and go from there.<br />
<br />
Another project I'm working on is this badass right here, the Hi Nu GUNDOOM kit produced by MC Model. I was able to pre-order this awesome kit from <a href="http://gundamcentral.weebly.com/">Gundam Central</a>** and now that it's here, I've got some good ideas for it. Rather, since I don't have a blue paint similar to the Hi Nu's blue, I bought a can of Tamiya Light Blue spray to personalize the colors a little bit. For the most part, though, I'm going to try to paint this as close as I can to the art in the manual. It's just so pretty~! J has already completed his, and from what I've heard it's absolutely worth buying, but we'll explore that more during the review of this kit.<br />
<br />
The third project I'm working on [and almost done with, actually] is a Lego version of V2 Gundam. The original model was made by Torraires, and since I wanted to re-create it, I downloaded and slowed down his videos and fired up Lego Digital Designer~! Unfortunately, LDD isn't that smart, so I had to leave some parts detached and substitute some pieces as well.<br />

~*~FUTURE PLANS~*~<br />
<br />
I've got a whole backlog of kits to build, both resin and Gunpla, but I also have a list of custom kits I'd like to make. Hopefully some of those will be showing up here over the summer~<br />
<br />
The first one is the Gundam TR-1 [Hazel Owsla]. This one shouldn't be too difficult to build, since I've already got the Primrose parts needed for it. All I need now is the actual Hazel kit and some primer and I'll be in business!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKvThvBN9eyYqV0hIYINSgn6_rWV83soXaPcMjIlu1DWkFnxihb17CZiV0r-L7eBMNgKJDti3raUqquZX6lLW90sYHwqHAPiFowgsYfayMUXNSEEaW6tyswy9wL8uC6EnO8rjqZpxOMT8/s1600/353129418_05780257fe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKvThvBN9eyYqV0hIYINSgn6_rWV83soXaPcMjIlu1DWkFnxihb17CZiV0r-L7eBMNgKJDti3raUqquZX6lLW90sYHwqHAPiFowgsYfayMUXNSEEaW6tyswy9wL8uC6EnO8rjqZpxOMT8/s320/353129418_05780257fe.jpg" width="204" /></a></div>
<br />
I also want to make a different iteration of the TR-1 with my own creative input. Right now what I'm thinking is a Hazel Custom as the base kit with the Primrose/Owsla upper body and the Gaplant TR-5 [Hrairoo]'s shoulder-mounted support binders attached to the booster pod with two mega particle cannons attached. I'm sure there's more, but I'll come up with those other details as I start to plan it out.<br />
<br />
Yet another Advance of Zeta design I want to make is the RX-121-3C Gundam TR-1 [Hyzenthlay]. The Hyzenthlay is essentially a Hazel Owsla with most of the Gundam TR-6 [Woundwort] attached on a few hardpoints. It's got quite a unique look, and I'd really like to have one on my shelf. There's also a 1/144 scale resin kit version <a href="http://www.sabuyjaishop.com/shop/Hobbyshop/TMG_1144_TR6__HAZENTHLEY__C3_2010-000219-EN-pdtdetail.html">at this website</a> so perhaps I'll invest in that.<br />

**While I definitely suggest checking out what Gundam Central has to offer [and, if you can, picking up a Hi Nu GUNDOOM] I feel I should note that most of their stock is composed of TT Hongli and similar China-brand knockoff Gunpla. I don't agree with or support TT Hongli and those similar China-brand Gunpla producers.Baby TheEndhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08631705954767099649noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759421758348641882.post-23292210576943320792011-03-27T11:19:00.000-04:002011-03-27T11:19:18.097-04:00Review Update: HG 00 Qan[T]Hey everyone, Baby TheEnd here! I'm sure you're probably wondering where the review for the HG 00 Qan[T] is. The truth is, I've been bogged down with homework these past few days [and wanted to build the MG GN-X, so that's taken care of] so I don't have anything prepared D:<br />
<br />
HOWEVER, I think I'm going to try doing a video review instead of my usual text/photo reviews. This will give me a chance to branch out from what I've been doing since the blog's first post, and who knows? Maybe more of you awesome readers will like the video reviews better! Either way, expect to see that coming up here soon. And if enough of you like what I do with the video reviews, maybe there'll be more in the future~!<br />
<br />
I do have a quick question for you guys though: would you prefer that I upload it to YouTube or use my Vimeo account? Leave me a comment and let me know your preference, alright? :D<br />
<br />
Well, I'll see you all soon with a review of the HG 00 Qan[T]! Until then~Baby TheEndhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08631705954767099649noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759421758348641882.post-58934342653845459172011-03-18T21:11:00.000-04:002011-03-18T21:11:21.186-04:00MG ReZELFriday means review day, woo! Today's review is on the MG ReZEL, a transforming mobile suit from Gundam Unicorn. I was taken pretty quickly by its awesome design, and simply by the fact that it's <i>turquoise</i>! While the mobile armor mode does look a bit goofy, it's got an impressive transformation and it's incredibly sturdy [more sturdy, I'm told, than the <a href="http://babytheendgunpla.blogspot.com/2011/02/mg-zeta-20-white-unicorn-ver-review-by.html">MG Zeta</a>'s transformation]. So, let's get this started~<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Utp9xODPPxFxLzBx9pu1JiV3lx4LPMhT-VgBxOJ1CRYfZcFC0BAqjYnoGM2yNpk7NbRKQ1qGyLn-DcaN5e9hhyFEBulN8lkJ8gMWWSfzDF3oGolHyh-KAj7dExDVHHyTwnDn5S0urq0/s1600/IMG_8348.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Utp9xODPPxFxLzBx9pu1JiV3lx4LPMhT-VgBxOJ1CRYfZcFC0BAqjYnoGM2yNpk7NbRKQ1qGyLn-DcaN5e9hhyFEBulN8lkJ8gMWWSfzDF3oGolHyh-KAj7dExDVHHyTwnDn5S0urq0/s320/IMG_8348.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Utp9xODPPxFxLzBx9pu1JiV3lx4LPMhT-VgBxOJ1CRYfZcFC0BAqjYnoGM2yNpk7NbRKQ1qGyLn-DcaN5e9hhyFEBulN8lkJ8gMWWSfzDF3oGolHyh-KAj7dExDVHHyTwnDn5S0urq0/s1600/IMG_8348.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a name='more'></a></a><br />
<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Let's do a quick 360˚ view of this awesome transforming mobile suit~! Because of how huge the backpack is, it's a bit tricky to get the ReZEL to stand up straight. Mine also suffers from slightly weak lower knee joints, but it's not too big of a deal.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj16Bm6eJtaN567-kNXyWa1Buuf3j5UVa8YiHshmV__bY9YCfzcOGlio5CysEw6Cg33R21LY3P2mvwlEQ93PhZGsrVM2Zi02K1ocn_a8tCImaLbduciOfkVQu41uoqRrKZryqENUxB-Ods/s1600/IMG_8317.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj16Bm6eJtaN567-kNXyWa1Buuf3j5UVa8YiHshmV__bY9YCfzcOGlio5CysEw6Cg33R21LY3P2mvwlEQ93PhZGsrVM2Zi02K1ocn_a8tCImaLbduciOfkVQu41uoqRrKZryqENUxB-Ods/s320/IMG_8317.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHtLfpyFwPG4AiSMl0FHpjdKXvhRloRmrTuHyQyJq-EicdG0y-q0h-eGQIo7fnZynzJOvE1xQXhMtYoXTCS4c5ECQPF_fEsU-gAx2qrvgSbC00H7m_Tp1XsUecYGlym2mqH1NB56BJPjw/s1600/IMG_8318.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHtLfpyFwPG4AiSMl0FHpjdKXvhRloRmrTuHyQyJq-EicdG0y-q0h-eGQIo7fnZynzJOvE1xQXhMtYoXTCS4c5ECQPF_fEsU-gAx2qrvgSbC00H7m_Tp1XsUecYGlym2mqH1NB56BJPjw/s320/IMG_8318.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBPYXoIGMy-mtlsw8BqQbnVoHhyphenhyphenfl2T63an4wRKCY_IPSZm9nUn1WLR5H5osXCyDYVt1xir3P-SakSryNrD3sXUXvr3HYyxLqMJwKp2GJVfeUSIKWm-bp8fBaSzcn0v8Lv4PMVZzGQKpA/s1600/IMG_8319.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBPYXoIGMy-mtlsw8BqQbnVoHhyphenhyphenfl2T63an4wRKCY_IPSZm9nUn1WLR5H5osXCyDYVt1xir3P-SakSryNrD3sXUXvr3HYyxLqMJwKp2GJVfeUSIKWm-bp8fBaSzcn0v8Lv4PMVZzGQKpA/s320/IMG_8319.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Moving on to some posability now, starting with the head! It's on a ball joint and had a good range of rotation and movement, but since it's also on an "elevator joint" [the head pushes down when transformed], there are no additional moving parts for the neck. Next is are the arms, which have quite a range of motion. The elbow is double jointed, and while it can't do a full 180˚ bend, what merit does that give to a giant transforming robot? xD The arms are on a huge peg and can rotate below the shoulder, and the hands are your standard MG hands: individual thumb and index finger with the other three attached as one piece. The shoulder-to-torso attachment is a peg on a swivel joint [a key part of the transformation], so unfortunately the shoulders cannot be brought forward all that far. The shoulder armor is built right onto the shoulder itself and needs to be repositioned whenever you move the arms, which really isn't the worst thing ever, right? The ReZEL's backpack has the nosecone and main thrusters on a small joint arm which can move back and forth depending on the mode that the ReZEL is in.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5JUBqyLNIBs1gZEf2Bxd5PpzXl30xdKJtZkgcFtdw8OxU3j27sYxMs3aDmRcjStpulJLUG726QeFLfQT3hJQcbhpjGFi48lq8S8lMLot0SNK82kPEit_dI76VeZaIzEDD9R2_ra4wbg0/s1600/IMG_8320.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5JUBqyLNIBs1gZEf2Bxd5PpzXl30xdKJtZkgcFtdw8OxU3j27sYxMs3aDmRcjStpulJLUG726QeFLfQT3hJQcbhpjGFi48lq8S8lMLot0SNK82kPEit_dI76VeZaIzEDD9R2_ra4wbg0/s320/IMG_8320.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Moving along, the front skirt armor is on a ball joint and can move around very easily. The side skirts are on a little swivel joint system that's pegged right into the hips, so those armor parts move with the rest of the leg. The hips ball-joint right into the waist, and the legs can rotate a little bit right below the hip joint. The knees are double jointed, and as you can see the ReZEL has no issues sitting Japanese-style or kneeling. Finally, the feet are built around the ankle joints, which are on a sliding mechanism for the transformation. The front part of the feet can bend down, but once again, this is simply for the transformation ^__^;;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJaaNELo7xkPL8U5lJd844WRu25XHaScXdIMEJ3cyQGn5Q_Q3bAcC6UWoNB3dZskCadFDTQf4hc0AI-ypPtkAfrtyuinTNOelCjmDVWEedhEHGb71sdN93Pm7wNjoyrx-Wzc28iW015UI/s1600/IMG_8321.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJaaNELo7xkPL8U5lJd844WRu25XHaScXdIMEJ3cyQGn5Q_Q3bAcC6UWoNB3dZskCadFDTQf4hc0AI-ypPtkAfrtyuinTNOelCjmDVWEedhEHGb71sdN93Pm7wNjoyrx-Wzc28iW015UI/s320/IMG_8321.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUZqBpDL_ZBpIJC6X-oC5Cr5Dkzu-xK05euIt6bhXz0UgrshPo9-DPGmYAPYBjVqOvv_Uke5UrGTzunREIfjAMnTIeSPBsCf2QmtNTD6Bi03Qi8TWXzXEg18YTfwxDzCmOMjOxyZG6Djc/s1600/IMG_8322.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUZqBpDL_ZBpIJC6X-oC5Cr5Dkzu-xK05euIt6bhXz0UgrshPo9-DPGmYAPYBjVqOvv_Uke5UrGTzunREIfjAMnTIeSPBsCf2QmtNTD6Bi03Qi8TWXzXEg18YTfwxDzCmOMjOxyZG6Djc/s320/IMG_8322.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Because the MG ReZEL can't take too wide of a stance, though, its ground poses are somewhat limited. However, the ReZEL can even just stand in a boring pose and still look awesome, and that's only enhanced when the decals and a flat top coat are applied [not to the clear parts though!]~</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiM4Ir1wxzTFQ6EZNhXrAJVGLGCCniGEehFxDFPgTNQ6clpIwKj8GSN32Khponpxdu2xZej_UiTGD8m4G33Q2MvuASvxPM6gdmI8Yd8UD19UkYdwdTb5pLwILvwQNueaOubFqL9h4vT4M/s1600/IMG_8323.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiM4Ir1wxzTFQ6EZNhXrAJVGLGCCniGEehFxDFPgTNQ6clpIwKj8GSN32Khponpxdu2xZej_UiTGD8m4G33Q2MvuASvxPM6gdmI8Yd8UD19UkYdwdTb5pLwILvwQNueaOubFqL9h4vT4M/s320/IMG_8323.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhcWOApefgyP2BYdGEOU2ASTPNY-bNPFZj-af4CjJghseq9DycLAhjcEhwB0I_DM8lh0c8xuL6LIRM2lVS4GogT-oMnQVVW1Q31aKnAYFDTdmcHWONgHQMz5BiLRJIEin0Y3OJkhvLorg/s1600/IMG_8324.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhcWOApefgyP2BYdGEOU2ASTPNY-bNPFZj-af4CjJghseq9DycLAhjcEhwB0I_DM8lh0c8xuL6LIRM2lVS4GogT-oMnQVVW1Q31aKnAYFDTdmcHWONgHQMz5BiLRJIEin0Y3OJkhvLorg/s320/IMG_8324.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdGMduYAfl3GEY7Gq82mxpuWzoMEGb7gIWQCE5A7tcG_sSkRXpyA5AdurtgpTA_pBt2Du5V6mT4ZSXjui8oJtweYsKqRxGjjZ26lvCB15wqbakGb_eJH4kp5hKhSMz-SeYLF3U5jXlRK0/s1600/IMG_8325.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdGMduYAfl3GEY7Gq82mxpuWzoMEGb7gIWQCE5A7tcG_sSkRXpyA5AdurtgpTA_pBt2Du5V6mT4ZSXjui8oJtweYsKqRxGjjZ26lvCB15wqbakGb_eJH4kp5hKhSMz-SeYLF3U5jXlRK0/s320/IMG_8325.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div><br />

</div><div>The MG ReZEL doesn't come with all that many extras, but that makes perfect sense since a transforming spaceplane thing could only carry so much. First up is the shield, which simply pegs into either forearm. I've seen it equipped either way, and while it does seem to sit on the arm better, I like that the spare ammo packs are easily accessible when the shield is equipped like so:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6VzX3rtHMyAlGgURfqkKOM6G6_0cbpVRxjIBYwlL5G51AmeaMxe0LX-nWxf-kjHPQ5y3sFO1KDDbPPJI1W4fYylT0vGMGK-TOyEYpadUZ2_IiBTC27W-3ndi0qGAFLQBk-_C38zUfm0g/s1600/IMG_8328.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6VzX3rtHMyAlGgURfqkKOM6G6_0cbpVRxjIBYwlL5G51AmeaMxe0LX-nWxf-kjHPQ5y3sFO1KDDbPPJI1W4fYylT0vGMGK-TOyEYpadUZ2_IiBTC27W-3ndi0qGAFLQBk-_C38zUfm0g/s320/IMG_8328.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikTDEdg-6WgPcN59q3tECVvzMifj0Kuv6Y4lRVzPsPhDayGt0mKzF8lmg1jeC3Sm31l_diCMgfzhKIjSjz8TPJY8gNvCw0yYcI7ZomeBdCEk1aidjKcZRe1FVblcAwnoLrzH07nvdupxg/s1600/IMG_8329.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikTDEdg-6WgPcN59q3tECVvzMifj0Kuv6Y4lRVzPsPhDayGt0mKzF8lmg1jeC3Sm31l_diCMgfzhKIjSjz8TPJY8gNvCw0yYcI7ZomeBdCEk1aidjKcZRe1FVblcAwnoLrzH07nvdupxg/s320/IMG_8329.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-M0WmcaPLSVeZCnTFD0ZAxiPMxW9hS4ohbArHMUNpxzsgO7lZjIfXaPnH3PltpOR8b6IGH6rL13WcZxwTyGt2ymES-Mr21aVm0BZ2XtCA2o8jtnMF_ztbx8QZPSxDfEhfPw-fR3FAosE/s1600/IMG_8330.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-M0WmcaPLSVeZCnTFD0ZAxiPMxW9hS4ohbArHMUNpxzsgO7lZjIfXaPnH3PltpOR8b6IGH6rL13WcZxwTyGt2ymES-Mr21aVm0BZ2XtCA2o8jtnMF_ztbx8QZPSxDfEhfPw-fR3FAosE/s320/IMG_8330.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />

Next up are the beam sabers, which are stored in an awesome little wrist rack. You need to use the shield to slide the rack forward [there's a sliding mechanism inside the arms], and then both beam sabers are easily accessible!<br />

The other arm mount houses two grenades, but these are way less exciting than beam weapons xD<br />

After that, the awesome beam rifle! Despite the size, the ReZEL has no problems holding it unassisted, though sometimes the back section with the ammo pack gets in the way.<br />

~*~TRANSFORMATION AND MOBILE ARMOR MODE~*~<br />
<br />
The transformation for this guy is kinda tricky, and although it's quite sturdy in both modes I don't think I can do many mid-transformation shots like I could with Unicorn Gundam. That being said, the mobile armor mode definitely looks blocky for something meant for streamlined space combat, but I guess since there's no drag in space the designers were more worried about how to get all of the thrusters to the back of the transformed suit xD I also like that despite lowering the head and covering most of it with the nosecone, the red visor is still visible at the right angle.<br />

~*~FINAL VERDICT~*~<br />
<br />
Despite being a transforming MG kit, the ReZEL did not strike me as a difficult build at all [the backpack assembly was probably the most frustrating part]. Straight-building it will net you an awesome turquoise transforming mobile suit developed from the Zeta Gundam itself, and adding the decals and a flat top coat of paint will only increase that awesome look. I decided to go a step further, though, and paint some of the detailing under the clear red parts silver so they'd stand out and add more mechanical detail to an otherwise clean-looking mobile suit. The MG ReZEL retails for anywhere between $45-55, and I think you definitely get what you pay for, especially if you do a good job detailing it and whatnot. Need to break up the flood of kits with the standard Gundam colors? Want an awesome transforming mobile suit that really has a unique feel to it? Collecting Gundam Unicorn kits? Then the MG ReZEL is definitely something worth picking up~!<br />

Unfortunately this will replace the review for this week, but I'd consider that a good thing since I didn't have a review ready [I've been quite busy with school, and finals are next week DX ]. With that said, let's dive right in, starting with...<br />

I ended up deciding to snap some pictures of this guy for you all to see. The Hrududu resin parts took a while to fix up, and I actually had a part that was cast improperly, but <a href="http://www.tatsuhobby.com/webstore/">Tatsu Hobby</a> took care of that with no problem :D<br />
<br />
So here you go! The RX-121-2A + FF-X29A Gundam TR-1 [Advanced Hazel Rah]:<br />

Right now I'm working on the Harpuia resin kit that Tatsu Hobby is selling. I was so excited to see that they would be selling him, as Harpuia is my favorite character of the Megaman Zero series :D. So far I've got all of the parts cleaned up, but there are a few that have holes in need of puttying, which means I'll need a good green paint to go over it. And then there are the holes to drill and eyes to paint...<br />

There are two other things that are WIP, but neither has actually been started. The first one is for a custom HG kitbash I want to do using all of the spare parts I've accumulated [and possibly scratch-building some new ones], custom color it, and call it Chimera Gundam. I still need to plan out what I want this thing to look like, but I assure you it will not disappoint. Beam sabers and GN Drives everywhere~ :D<br />

The second unstarted WIP is the MG V2 Gundam Ver.Ka + ash. This project was actually inspired by <a href="http://z7.invisionfree.com/Titans_Test_Team/ar/t845.htm">this thread</a> at T3 Arc Forums, and the "+ash" at the end there is for the person who thought this up. What this entails, for those who are too lazy to read the linked thread is the following:<br />
-Obtain HG 1/100 V2 Gundam and MG Wing Gundam Ver.Ka<br />
-Build Wing Gundam's frame<br />
-Carve up and kitbash the V2 parts onto the Wing Gundam frame<br />
-Paint it so it looks nice, deck it out with Katoki markings<br />
-End up with a V2 Gundam Ver.Ka style that is MG scale and MG quality<br />
<br />
I'll be keeping a WIP post for this guy [and a separate one for Chimera] once I start them, as I've done for Rasiel [which I haven't really worked on at all D: ]. With my luck, this will be the year that Bandai announced a MG V2 Gundam >__>. For those of you who are curious, here's Rasiel:<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><div class="MsoNormal">Alright, today’s review is the MG MSZ-006-3 Zeta Gundam 2.0 “White Unicorn” version. The Zeta Gundam was an advancement in mobile suit technology at the time of its deployment during the Gryps conflict. It was designed by Kamille Bidan, who took the Gundam Mk.II’s movable frame and adjusted it to being a transformable frame. This design impressed the engineers at Anaheim Electronics so much, that they volunteered to build it for Kamille. Once completed it became one of the strongest mobile suits during the war. However, the Zeta being reviewed today is none other than Amuro Ray’s own personal Zeta Gundam which he used during his time with Karaba. Although this Zeta never appears in the series, it appears in the CG short “Green Divers” and Gundam Evolve 9.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiArCr69fK7whIUaexpUcyZT_q8HHoNjVB8sWd0Tg7_Xim5bRA7xk-vv94QqDUiMvIWnzf03JgHLmQ8VD2seyu6XA3PxI7YxDFQk1NiNebQvvwh7w6mJxCKuIRqNckflm2gCraFbUaYYU/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiArCr69fK7whIUaexpUcyZT_q8HHoNjVB8sWd0Tg7_Xim5bRA7xk-vv94QqDUiMvIWnzf03JgHLmQ8VD2seyu6XA3PxI7YxDFQk1NiNebQvvwh7w6mJxCKuIRqNckflm2gCraFbUaYYU/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+001.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /></a><br />

Also worth noting are the pink markings all over the body including the oh so recognizable “A” on the left shoulder signifying it is Amuro’s Gundam. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1sCYLKbO5dvXQWEHkBvBVM860MUBy84B1TXdnN0zC4lGuedd0nJCrBsG8Cnh17rlkkxLaKuLToSsHw6_7K8-cub_h2RL3M5IzbxCOLPx01WXvcrUjMg9SX6NTSS7Gl0tpOvo6edLw2oM/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1sCYLKbO5dvXQWEHkBvBVM860MUBy84B1TXdnN0zC4lGuedd0nJCrBsG8Cnh17rlkkxLaKuLToSsHw6_7K8-cub_h2RL3M5IzbxCOLPx01WXvcrUjMg9SX6NTSS7Gl0tpOvo6edLw2oM/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+007.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /></a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The head is on a ball joint and can move left and right, side to side. The neck can also swing back and forth. The arms are on ball joints, but the ball joints themselves are clipped on to the side, which in turn is also clipped on to the “body” since the arms will have to rotate forward when transforming it. The body itself is actually hollow. The chest part with the cockpit cover the empty inside, while the “abdomen” are just to separate pieces that cover what the chest doesn’t. This also explains why the ball joints for the arm clip on to what’s really the back of the Zeta. It’s also hollow inside because that’s where the head will sink into during wave rider. The arms themselves are pretty standard and can get almost a 180 bend. The wrist swings back and forth and the hands are o the clip on ball joint allowing the hands more freedom. The fingers are the usual- thumb and index are free, while the other three fingers are stuck together. I separate the three fingers in order to have individual moving fingers. Shoulders are pretty standard, except you can move the thrusters back and forth. The waist is pretty interesting because it has to be able to allow transformation. As a result, the pegs for the legs are not directly on the main waist block, but are on ball joints attached to the main block. The side skirts are inserted though the pegs for the legs as opposed to the usual ball joint on top of the waist. Then there’s a piece that keeps the leg pegs locked to the waist, because once the legs are attached, they will flop about (which is annoying when transforming it). The Legs almost get the 180 as well but can bend forward over 90 degrees. The legs don’t have a full frame, but rather it stops knee really. The rest is 2 halves kind of deal. The feet are also different in that at the bottom of the leg there’s a part for you to attach the ankles to which you put plug in the front of the foot and the heel. Lastly, the wings are attached to the lower back, with ball joints on the sides to attach to the tail stabilizer, which can bend in two places to straighten out during wave rider. Also worth mentioning is that this kit has a lot of clip on pieces to allow parts to swing and rotate about for the wave rider. As such one has to clip on a lot of pieces, and some require a lot of force. My fingers hurt from pressing into plastic so much.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8cjJaAUbza_BdwpnfSGeeNC38rfThIhyphenhyphenyy1I7LoG_Jb0GFTrDtmenHy90J3Gcz9ebkXf_lwvRwsCk8ufhLu1xywsafYR8mFuTPLXY99f49dM0CW-0i7P4gyPjjnMtyXCkZD8Ck1dtG98/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8cjJaAUbza_BdwpnfSGeeNC38rfThIhyphenhyphenyy1I7LoG_Jb0GFTrDtmenHy90J3Gcz9ebkXf_lwvRwsCk8ufhLu1xywsafYR8mFuTPLXY99f49dM0CW-0i7P4gyPjjnMtyXCkZD8Ck1dtG98/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+005.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /></a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_iRTziY9pnZWQRVfyFJ4TQm2b90iJOOu3nEqooSiRViBiwkX0dy3vXk3W5VQlmDr_ZUj9oXTfRIhxM3BjRbLJLS3lweXI70fTtJgblgf_K96K2cLMrtzrr-8maz3s5OR-q96Lj1vuyMQ/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_iRTziY9pnZWQRVfyFJ4TQm2b90iJOOu3nEqooSiRViBiwkX0dy3vXk3W5VQlmDr_ZUj9oXTfRIhxM3BjRbLJLS3lweXI70fTtJgblgf_K96K2cLMrtzrr-8maz3s5OR-q96Lj1vuyMQ/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+004.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFN40S_xHCUw8XzIt7uFMyEq2kxO2J33ORnvnuPYIMV0jfrOmOdAwzPGMBQPwqr8vjvQwzWbgYGfDBMCCzgNtvmXUoIwTWGnTHVB90-AvliepH6ue4KXn5dIjU1DaEVTDoByRFNC5psmo/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFN40S_xHCUw8XzIt7uFMyEq2kxO2J33ORnvnuPYIMV0jfrOmOdAwzPGMBQPwqr8vjvQwzWbgYGfDBMCCzgNtvmXUoIwTWGnTHVB90-AvliepH6ue4KXn5dIjU1DaEVTDoByRFNC5psmo/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+006.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The Zeta comes equipped with you standard beam rifle that can retract for when its wave rider, and uses E-Packs. The one really cool feature is that the tip can be used as a beam saber. As such you can put the beam blade on the tip of the rifle and it will stay there. It think it’s pretty cool, because it means the Zeta has three beam sabers, and give the rifle some use after all its E-Packs run out. The beam rifle has a two-sided peg attach to the arm (like a shield) or the tail stabilizer when in wave rider.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRhWW0I1W1SV6N0MwXDDXBQOsu-4Zlvf5cDFO0ihTYAwZsr1Y9EI_1eJ7abvlXostrFfimbqk45K9NUFNB9xRegNIOCo7KEVO49E9U6XbIaxb948e7JFQdOJ63GKd7f-8exAUzonZ0F64/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRhWW0I1W1SV6N0MwXDDXBQOsu-4Zlvf5cDFO0ihTYAwZsr1Y9EI_1eJ7abvlXostrFfimbqk45K9NUFNB9xRegNIOCo7KEVO49E9U6XbIaxb948e7JFQdOJ63GKd7f-8exAUzonZ0F64/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+014.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /></a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_1v9c_5Br6fP0aeuG4Ly5Jn2ZHfJ9iXf_70dqb37z7wX97NBR1gnN0LjmuOZN1awhy3lGPnUSOQhZPW_2Hy1rS3AIS0GPSXKuLP23znhX-z0MngaE1cjp8mx_k3gAZ_-SDKFvnLMniaM/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_1v9c_5Br6fP0aeuG4Ly5Jn2ZHfJ9iXf_70dqb37z7wX97NBR1gnN0LjmuOZN1awhy3lGPnUSOQhZPW_2Hy1rS3AIS0GPSXKuLP23znhX-z0MngaE1cjp8mx_k3gAZ_-SDKFvnLMniaM/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+017.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Next we have the Zeta’s shield, which is different from the usual rectangular-ish shield mobile suits carry. The shield can retract, making it smaller in size similarly to the Mk.II’s shield and is worn upside done, with the nose pointing back. I suppose you can put it pointing forward, but then it just looks weird. The shield attaches to the bottom of the Zeta when in wave rider form, covering up the Zeta Gundam’s head. The shield has an opening in the middle for the Hyper Mega Launcher to attach to.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIzefDTLzRDCPHEW6pdzH4sRuVgzqVaS3ON82ZcIA8gqn8z5-fNmM41cniIt6QX6sn8D4acBxhJ39zER8itmhG2cF1_T1DlT1FJbMymhrv1rIMJKFITa_3Jf2DnfwXL748QHy09tsOEtg/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIzefDTLzRDCPHEW6pdzH4sRuVgzqVaS3ON82ZcIA8gqn8z5-fNmM41cniIt6QX6sn8D4acBxhJ39zER8itmhG2cF1_T1DlT1FJbMymhrv1rIMJKFITa_3Jf2DnfwXL748QHy09tsOEtg/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+012.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /></a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge8yv9f357evgyudmcXO2gGDT-SlvY1O_sGkCtxybpxxO7Ycow4qc7Xj79v4yon4Rz_B7YJpabdD93xS8T-foHoUqVxKMGy7kNWmBKiz9AaGZuhYRTxn3p4n1Z-w_0EBe_1zZmrX99ONY/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge8yv9f357evgyudmcXO2gGDT-SlvY1O_sGkCtxybpxxO7Ycow4qc7Xj79v4yon4Rz_B7YJpabdD93xS8T-foHoUqVxKMGy7kNWmBKiz9AaGZuhYRTxn3p4n1Z-w_0EBe_1zZmrX99ONY/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+013.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The Zeta sports 2 beam sabers on each side skirt which actually double as beam rifles when in wave rider form.

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The Zeta also has grenade launchers in its forearms which can also fire cables that shock whatever they hit. One can plug the grenade packs where the shield normally goes and by pushing the attached grenade pack forward, the grenades in the arm move up to become more visible. Unfortunately the shield cannot be attached at the same time as the grenade pack, so I tend to keep the shield in one arm, and a pack on the other arm.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUM7cNGMPzg7G6USA5R3qab16tsI2fgbXiBGR860gKjbneHvLx1_mXhyphenhyphentW6VuDF0WDcNq99iWLbv3A8heovPKsYMGY6IdhuczrsKaozP9-0cS_LqPruWB4WMrCqhdfBOw3Xh_yRDFQdBA/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUM7cNGMPzg7G6USA5R3qab16tsI2fgbXiBGR860gKjbneHvLx1_mXhyphenhyphentW6VuDF0WDcNq99iWLbv3A8heovPKsYMGY6IdhuczrsKaozP9-0cS_LqPruWB4WMrCqhdfBOw3Xh_yRDFQdBA/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+025.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /></a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUTwBtRe8Zwtav7fL-yYRbw8OyyPAOOEjqvh23G_dK1WyUVOqfRVtaZjeSE3bqd52bo2If9thWzaRUOu_CoGcipun48GzS-NvGzgAVsRYJiEGZED8UW044ELlbpWIC9XrfMLQQrhr2jvg/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUTwBtRe8Zwtav7fL-yYRbw8OyyPAOOEjqvh23G_dK1WyUVOqfRVtaZjeSE3bqd52bo2If9thWzaRUOu_CoGcipun48GzS-NvGzgAVsRYJiEGZED8UW044ELlbpWIC9XrfMLQQrhr2jvg/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+026.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Lastly we have the Zeta’s Hyper Mega Launcher or BFG. The HML is basically a compacted Mega Bazooka Launcher, which the AEUG developed after seeing it being tested by the Titans. As such they completed a MBL used by the Hyaku-Shiki and made a portable (ironic, given the fact it’s as tall as the Zeta Gundam) for the Zeta. The only thing to say about this really, is that it’s a BFG and blows up a lot of things. Oh and it can be attached to the shield for when the Zeta is in wave rider. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj01DpzJ4-HlYwJxL64q1GQSBiDVBeCJdxWOMskhbStIeXC3iuxbL4MBLDzT8rDhUaxH_oI2Xtu1wCefnUkdB0tvoL-qxJ8tqkZJRYllBAZGOYKqaMIrvgbDcZKShpfD0KUuEvzZAq-Cus/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj01DpzJ4-HlYwJxL64q1GQSBiDVBeCJdxWOMskhbStIeXC3iuxbL4MBLDzT8rDhUaxH_oI2Xtu1wCefnUkdB0tvoL-qxJ8tqkZJRYllBAZGOYKqaMIrvgbDcZKShpfD0KUuEvzZAq-Cus/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+024.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /></a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBC-IN6KJnQTXmetRVb0HQvCNqmf2TdIBhspTZ2TDexoGi_SYOP2qnHbyIOWJ_qtpmIQWJ8piLOSNap0zYhHI5rjmRVzqSa7ALvbhfZKXkVzCxkP7bZklkCfYrQvl2yN0H8j4qjbwVlLw/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBC-IN6KJnQTXmetRVb0HQvCNqmf2TdIBhspTZ2TDexoGi_SYOP2qnHbyIOWJ_qtpmIQWJ8piLOSNap0zYhHI5rjmRVzqSa7ALvbhfZKXkVzCxkP7bZklkCfYrQvl2yN0H8j4qjbwVlLw/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+018.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Yep, the Zeta 2.0’s all bring this display stand which doubles as a run-way for when MS launch. Its large base offers a lot of sturdiness and the connector can be adjusted to angle the Zeta in different ways. Bonus is also included the stand attachment so you can plug it to the MK.II 2.0. Actually, the MK.II’s own display base can connect to the Zeta’s to have them side by side. What’s also neat is the fact that when doing the run-way display, you can store the connectors on the bottom of the base, along with the grenade packs. The stand is definitely one of those very welcomed goodies that are included with models.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSqOlBt8FbzCYR1a7ouBkM1cr8mdAY-lqZORW4wofW6Q4x651v1WXVRANMIjIuI6oq5BVih_A-2bTxmWSPNGpSr9EhSL7NIbEF1HrdvpqOrzpDa8fa8M07wCCTGwulQtGbRdp2Z91AS8k/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSqOlBt8FbzCYR1a7ouBkM1cr8mdAY-lqZORW4wofW6Q4x651v1WXVRANMIjIuI6oq5BVih_A-2bTxmWSPNGpSr9EhSL7NIbEF1HrdvpqOrzpDa8fa8M07wCCTGwulQtGbRdp2Z91AS8k/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+027.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="320" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgf0ip8CIeeTcL8TijcxeI4vFHgrNB6_XoNbQd0ZPu9HLggdTqKsgFgnb04eRZL-Zi43qntEM6tDO8OKN61aJxNvIj5-x6HWDkZJweGSDy-dpT0f1aURS70O5JqAAEdXiAYyglgdFYNRU/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgf0ip8CIeeTcL8TijcxeI4vFHgrNB6_XoNbQd0ZPu9HLggdTqKsgFgnb04eRZL-Zi43qntEM6tDO8OKN61aJxNvIj5-x6HWDkZJweGSDy-dpT0f1aURS70O5JqAAEdXiAYyglgdFYNRU/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+028.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz2kpwR0eqa_t6rCWxEGlAshA600yQ2xdtxgWh0oSqWbM7Zh74-WRUdjosK_H7YYoZUNiM7UL610nbupia8NILs36zLjql-aOxfYpX3kVIXtts3Cs8l4PVTr7EvnQOws3eoBWId8oX69k/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+029.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz2kpwR0eqa_t6rCWxEGlAshA600yQ2xdtxgWh0oSqWbM7Zh74-WRUdjosK_H7YYoZUNiM7UL610nbupia8NILs36zLjql-aOxfYpX3kVIXtts3Cs8l4PVTr7EvnQOws3eoBWId8oX69k/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+029.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJlBM9ifUvWx5UNX37D3OrmX7wswcGXHwqF4yw79Dw7OVhH5rRiCTcfCLw-PbDcr0HKGrjrYl7dFkjbO7jOhkTJoSp7fRezC44XgSSsScItRbbyUo0YLkbz86nQi5CFPndKjorqxJT5x0/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJlBM9ifUvWx5UNX37D3OrmX7wswcGXHwqF4yw79Dw7OVhH5rRiCTcfCLw-PbDcr0HKGrjrYl7dFkjbO7jOhkTJoSp7fRezC44XgSSsScItRbbyUo0YLkbz86nQi5CFPndKjorqxJT5x0/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+031.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyW2oTsXHlkklVcoFt2VyWWuoLlrYUNEJ5OCl4zQJE1HRkcRaml5X66Nw_hIfFpP3mNP1OJ2-Q_Gm9FSR48rYeVfiseAo91fmjXN6KllLFgEJIZsZA0INfqu2gP1qCFFceZbUx374Td8k/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+033.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyW2oTsXHlkklVcoFt2VyWWuoLlrYUNEJ5OCl4zQJE1HRkcRaml5X66Nw_hIfFpP3mNP1OJ2-Q_Gm9FSR48rYeVfiseAo91fmjXN6KllLFgEJIZsZA0INfqu2gP1qCFFceZbUx374Td8k/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+033.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />

Remember the crotch lock I mentioned before? Well the first time I couldn’t unlock it for fear of breaking something, but once it came off the legs just flapped about, since at this point their pegs were attached to small ball joints. Once the legs are flapping about, you peg the flaps to peg on the inside of the back skirt and sort of clip the top of the flap to something on the back simultaneously. Then you just rotate and move the legs so that they end up like the picture. Rotate the arms forward and that part is done.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5p1hHzHSW1vGV_aTHAGgJl6onPt3el3Y6WjpqBZN9_WYB6AE2mnhmqteySl50B_rtVLMK3wmT0YS4hYz7IbFmdrwu-ZzkR6mScTuhsE_Sjh7OBPmZH7ywK0EW2jQ9whtmsZh20kLTPS8/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+040.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5p1hHzHSW1vGV_aTHAGgJl6onPt3el3Y6WjpqBZN9_WYB6AE2mnhmqteySl50B_rtVLMK3wmT0YS4hYz7IbFmdrwu-ZzkR6mScTuhsE_Sjh7OBPmZH7ywK0EW2jQ9whtmsZh20kLTPS8/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+040.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /></a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd-pNLDQG0q-5KdOA-f5aXBtp-SdooZ_pls-D-cAXVcJ-nmEIH-aYATwlyexdx7MkePIfNkvwJnSQ80b_MB-VsERlbfRPbFxJLHBAkB4hPQfp_eYrvZzBlKVdwyce3vZJU_iwo_WMrx_0/s1600/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+042.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd-pNLDQG0q-5KdOA-f5aXBtp-SdooZ_pls-D-cAXVcJ-nmEIH-aYATwlyexdx7MkePIfNkvwJnSQ80b_MB-VsERlbfRPbFxJLHBAkB4hPQfp_eYrvZzBlKVdwyce3vZJU_iwo_WMrx_0/s320/MG+Zeta+2.0+White+Unicorn+Ver+042.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Before praising this kit, I will offer what I think are its drawbacks:</span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><ul><li>Hard to pose around, especially the legs because when you try to swing them out, they will not want to, and if they do, swinging them back will be a pain. It also feels like it’ll break because in wanting to swing the leg out, the peg flap wants to come out, which is being held in place by the crotch lock.</li>
<li>Kind of back heavy, I have a really hard time getting it to stand up straight.</li>
<li>Legs are weird to work with dues to the way the legs bend.</li>

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Aside from that, this is a wonderful kit to work with. I actually like this Zeta particularly because of its color scheme and markings throughout the body, which were very easy to work with. The stickers weren’t the regular clear stickers, but weren’t dry or water transfers. In fact they felt like paper and its adhesiveness would remain even after two or three screw ups that required me to peel it off. Also since this is a 2.0, you know it’s going to be wonderful to build. This was one of those kits that made you say “I want it...now, I don’t care if it’s a pain to get” which is exactly what happened to me with this kit. After seeing a review on it on another blog, I decided I had to have it and as such proceeded to find out that this was one of those limited edition kits; and as such would have a hard time finding. When I finally found it…it was $40 more that it should’ve been, but with the help of BabyTheEnd I was able to purchase it. That’s when the second part of this story kicks in: I had to wait 3 months to get it because the seller didn’t really have it in stock, but instead ordered it from its suppliers. But I finally got it and loved building it. Do I recommend this kit? Yes, yes I do. The Zeta 2.0 is a solid model that looks awesome on its display stand. I you like the White Unicorn Zeta as opposed to the regular Zeta then good luck finding it. Otherwise get the regular Zeta 2.0; you won’t be disappointed!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

It's gonna be a good one today though, I promise. Today we've got the MG RX-78-2 Gundam ver. 2.0, which should look familiar to any Gundam or Gunpla fan. This is, after all, <i>the</i> Gundam. Loads of accessories, loads of posability, and some awesome gimmicks as well, so let's get right on to the review!!<br />

By itself, it's kinda plain, which is understandable since this is the first Gundam ever, before all of those fancy GN drives and satellite cannons and whatnot. But even so, it looks pretty cool by itself [and the awesome matte coat job makes it look even better!]. I also found the stark lack of panel lines to be an interesting touch, as it really adds to the simplicity of the Gundam.<br />

It's posability time! The head is on a double neck joint thing, and can move around pretty well. The front cockpit hatch can swing open, and there's also a little panel that can slide open as well. The torso can wiggle to allow for some leaning of the upper body. The beam saber attachment points [chargers?] can close when the beam saber isn't plugged into it, which is pretty cool. As for the arms, I really can't begin to describe the insane range of motion you get, so I'll let the pictures talk for me~<br />

Now for the waist. This is one of the more frustrating parts of the kit, because the skirt armor is all attached in a strange fashion that makes them prone to popping off [especially the front skirts]. The piece that the skirt armor parts attach to can lean back and forth, allowing for even more upper body posing. The hip joints are plugged into holes in the waist section, as per usual with Gunpla. The legs can rotate at those hip joints, and the knees are double jointed, allowing for a 180˚ bend. The ankle armor is attached directly onto the feet, and it feels like it gets kind of loose sometimes =\. The feet can bend at three points, which is just crazy. I never would have thought that simple feet like that could be so posable. One other issue I have with the feet is the armor plate that "clings" to the ankle armor attachment points. It doesn't directly attach, so it feels prone to falling off all the time, which is quite annoying...<br />

Overall, it's really posable, <s>but those front skirts are incredibly limiting, which really sucks</s> Scratch that, turns out I just had them positioned wrong all along! Oh, the simple blunders of Gunpla~...<br />
Quite honestly, though, this MG is about as close to perfect as you can get. There really aren't any issues with it other than some minor stuff.<br />

While I don't think it deserves its own section, the core fighter is crucial to the operation of Gundam; without it, it's not going to move D: The core fighter can transform from fighter mode to core block mode, at which point it gets inserted into Gundam's chest cavity, like so:<br />

Like previously mentioned, the charger mounts can fold in when there's no hilt in it. I also quite like that Gundam can actually reach and grab them!<br />

As for the shield, the grip can slide up and down, as can the sight protector thing. There are also two little pegs on the inside of the shield that allow you to attach the beam rifle/bazooka to the shield [for storage or something].<br />

~*~FINAL VERDICT~*~<br />

I originally bought this kit because I felt it was time to own some version of the original Gundam [this was before I got the RG]. A little pricey, perhaps, but absolutely worth it. It's really one of the most intricate Gunpla I've ever built before, and at the same time everything makes sense and it's relatively simple. It's got wonderful posability, comes with 6 accessories, and it really looks awesome amongst my collection. The MG RX-78-2 Gundam 2.0 retails for anywhere from $35-50, depending on where you look. If you can find it for a low price, then by all means grab one!!<br />

And that's all I have to say about the Gundam that started it all. See you later, readers~!Baby TheEndhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08631705954767099649noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759421758348641882.post-87639171504902190922011-01-03T14:35:00.000-05:002011-01-03T14:35:30.697-05:00~Plans for 2011~Hello readers! First of all, Happy New Year! :D. I hope that 2011 will be a year of triumph and good things for everyone ^__^<br />
<br />
Now that I'm back from break, I can get back into the swing of my Friday blog posts, so never fear, this week you will not be disappointed! I've also made a little list of gunpla-related goals, which are:<br />
<br />
-More custom colored HGs<br />
-At least 1 custom colored MG<br />
-Try out a resin conversion kit for a MG<br />
-At least 2 kitbashed custom kits<br />
-Branch out [how-to videos?]<br />
<br />
I really hope I can fulfill all of these goals ^__^;; And that being said, I'm thinking of doing a "Let's Build!" video soon. Would you guys be interested in something like that? Would you rather see a sped-up process of how I build, or would you want a regular speed, this-is-how-I-do-everything style? Leave me a comment and let me know!<br />
<br />
Something else I'm thinking about doing is a gunpla photo contest. I'm not sure how I'm gonna do it, but expect to see a contest around here soon~!<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, how about some blog stats? I think it's pretty interesting to see where people are reading the most~<br />

Another Baby TheEnd gunpla review comin' at ya!! Today is the first of the Gunpla Builders Beginning G line, the Beginning Gundam. "Piloted" by Haru Irei, this interesting Gundam looks kind of like a cross of Turn A and V2 Gundam with a whole bunch of triangles on it xD<br />

As you might already be able to see, Bandai decided to pull a fast one on us and require a heck of a lot of painting to make it look accurate to the box art, despite being a HG. It's a wonderful kit though, as you'll see throughout the review :D<br />

Posability time!! Beginning Gundam's head is on a double jointed neck, but the bottom part is buried in the top of the body, so the head really just has one point of articulation. The waist-to-hip connection is a ball joint, and if you lift the body up a little it can rotate freely without problems. The shoulder joints on the body can swing back and forth a little bit, but they were initially INCREDIBLY loose [which was promptly fixed with some krazy glue]. The shoulder joint goes through a little hole in the shoulder armor and plugs into the top of the arm via a polycap joint. The arms can rotate 360˚ at the shoulders, and they can rotate below the shoulders. The elbows are single jointed, bending to about 90˚. The hands ball joint in, but it's a bit difficult to move 'em around because of the wrist armor. The little grey panels on Beginning Gundam's back [which are apparently magnetic thrusters] can also move around a little bit on their ball joint.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The skirt armor can all be separated, and it's all ball jointed into the waist and small enough/easy enough to move that it <i>never</i> gets in the way. Ever :D. The legs peg into a T-joint thing similar to HG 00 Gundam. The legs can rotate right below the hip connection, and the knees are double jointed. The ankle armor is actually on Beginning Gundam's foot, but it doesn't move all that much. Bandai, for some reason, gave Beginning Gundam the most bizarre ankle joints ever. Pictures to follow~</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitzMH8UW5qCj6Poajyi5BQf7p_6NrkwwpbKqxnPiz2t4Be5Uq4ibTvDN1UROWpBfT8XTCLs31pFAyjmiXUEyOekvX8MvzuUnRZrUjTXPT0CLl3RU8G4ADwZTW1KV93TigvY7R1u8fdU6Y/s1600/IMG_7429.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitzMH8UW5qCj6Poajyi5BQf7p_6NrkwwpbKqxnPiz2t4Be5Uq4ibTvDN1UROWpBfT8XTCLs31pFAyjmiXUEyOekvX8MvzuUnRZrUjTXPT0CLl3RU8G4ADwZTW1KV93TigvY7R1u8fdU6Y/s320/IMG_7429.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWVZhQXIo364PXpT_q0pcqEUcBGCOfaMTy5o_6VGbLv5XkwXKRhHeH7Qr3eDd4Y0OW5PYnMJCJzNFGjR3jiIeQd5NrmtJeyWSWrWmxrBrqFMOEiYWMSFNxk9fHppnRh7Xwlioj0D8VqjQ/s1600/IMG_7430.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWVZhQXIo364PXpT_q0pcqEUcBGCOfaMTy5o_6VGbLv5XkwXKRhHeH7Qr3eDd4Y0OW5PYnMJCJzNFGjR3jiIeQd5NrmtJeyWSWrWmxrBrqFMOEiYWMSFNxk9fHppnRh7Xwlioj0D8VqjQ/s320/IMG_7430.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

It's an interesting looking shield that kind of reminds me of Hi-Nu Gundam's shield~. Three beam sabers [molded as one piece] can be stored on the inside of the shield, and the shield itself just pegs right into the arm!<br />

On to the next accessory, the beam saber! Beginning Gundam has six beam sabers on its back, but only includes one clear yellow beam effect :(. The beam sabers also require a surprising amount of work to make them accurate [I think this is the first time I've had to paint a beam saber hilt...].<br />

THE BEAM CLAW! Beginning Gundam pulls this ace out of his sleeve at the end of Part A of the OVA. Why another Gundam pilot didn't come up with this before is beyond me...<br />

Last but not least, Beginning Gundam's beam rifle. I understand that this rifle works like the F91's VSBR [Variable Speed Beam Rifle]; that is, the output can be altered so you can have a shot as powerful as a standard solid bullet to something that could shoot a hole through the moon [with enough power, of course].<br />

~*~FINAL VERDICT~*~<br />
<br />
The HG Beginning Gundam is definitely an awesome build, despite only being a HG. If you don't like foil stickers, though, prepare for a lot of work to make it look nice, especially the beam claw. I like it, though; it's a very different looking mobile suit and although it does sport the stereotypical Gundam colors, it still looks quite cool among other kits :D. This guy retails for around $20, and it's totally worth it!<br />

Today I've got a few things I'd like to discuss with you, and a few questions to ask as well~ Let's get started!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge8bu8NDFUPsiQVLsHfohkLXTSAFLaXLWPpHIZXAV54WlAdI_PBze0CBvl4VCVw2B6axHRZ2KYLkz9FBk2mxQY9khEmrAwzPEHBsMNcQAmHttMeKY6_IKzKoV1ITwTlTXb-xZbDl8wR7Q/s1600/IMG_5175.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge8bu8NDFUPsiQVLsHfohkLXTSAFLaXLWPpHIZXAV54WlAdI_PBze0CBvl4VCVw2B6axHRZ2KYLkz9FBk2mxQY9khEmrAwzPEHBsMNcQAmHttMeKY6_IKzKoV1ITwTlTXb-xZbDl8wR7Q/s320/IMG_5175.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge8bu8NDFUPsiQVLsHfohkLXTSAFLaXLWPpHIZXAV54WlAdI_PBze0CBvl4VCVw2B6axHRZ2KYLkz9FBk2mxQY9khEmrAwzPEHBsMNcQAmHttMeKY6_IKzKoV1ITwTlTXb-xZbDl8wR7Q/s1600/IMG_5175.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a name='more'></a></a><br />
First, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY FOR THIS BLOG~ :D Baby TheEnd's Gunpla and Toy Review turned one year old on December 2. I'm so happy that I've been able to keep going this long, and I'm even happier that I've developed a reader base too :) Hopefully one day I'll be as popular as<a href="http://ngeekhiongex.blogspot.com/"> Ngee Khiong EX</a> or <a href="http://gunpla-inochi.com/">Gunpla Inochi</a> ^__^;; Is there anything you guys want me to do/re-do for an Anniversary Post? Leave a comment with your ideas~<br />
<br />
On to the next item now. These next few weeks [the next month, really] is gonna be kinda crazy for me, and I'm not 100% sure that my reviews will be posted on time. School is requiring a lot of my time, and in a bit more than a week I'll be out of town. I'll try to get them done ASAP and have the system auto-post them at the proper times. The side bar with all of the links and the individual category pages are things I'll have to update myself. I've got a huge backlog, and that honestly bothers me a lot >____> Perhaps I'll do some sort of mass post bonanza~<br />
<br />
Alright, now for something that's a bit more important. My friend <a href="http://seraphimvisualkei.blogspot.com/">Seraphim</a> has his blog monetized by Google a while ago, and has made some money off it [not a lot, but more than a few dollars]. That lead me to thinking that maybe I should monetize my blog as well. The money could easily be funneled into new gunpla, so in a way the site would end up paying for itself~. HOWEVER, money would only be made by placing ads on my blog, which then would have to be clicked. There are definitely other ways to earn money to pay for gunpla, but I thought I'd ask my readers since you guys are gonna end up being the ones who have to deal with the ads [and click on 'em once in a while to get me some money :D ]. Let me know what you think!!<br />
<br />
I've also been thinking about trying to do some video reviews too. It seems like they take much less time, and it'll be far easier to convey what I'm trying to show you with pictures~<br />
<br />
Alright, so let's go over this:<br />
<br />
~*~Is there anything you want me to do for an anniversary post?<br />
~*~Should I put ads on this blog that might get a bit invasive but will earn me gunpla money?<br />
~*~Should I try my hand at video reviews?<br />
<br />
<br />
And that's all!

Today I've got a pretty cool review of the HG 1.5 Gundam [pronounces "eyes" Gundam] from the Gundam 00 HG line~. This fella shows up in the 00I, 00P, and 00V Senkai side stories! The 1.5 Gundam is pretty much the step before Reborns Gundam, which is 1 Gundam with a <a href="http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/GN_Cannon">GN Cannon</a> fused into its back. But I'm sure you all just wanna see the pictures, so here we go!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Before I get into articulation, I'm going to take off the binders so you'll just be seeing 1 Gundam. For some reason, the binders add the other 1/2 xD</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Anyway, from the top down, 1.5's head can move around very well and is on a double jointed neck polycap. The torso can bend back and forth a bit to allow for some more dramatic posing. The shoulder attachments on the body are supposed to be stationary, but they can pull out a little bit and let the arms swing forward or backward a little. The shoulders themselves are polycapped onto the body, and the main shoulder armor piece is attached to the top of the arm, and the cover things are attached to the main piece. The arms can rotate just above the elbow, and you can get about a 80˚ bend with the elbows. The arms can also rotate a little bit below the elbow joint as well, similar to Reborns Gundam. The lower arm portion, though, has far less mobility than its successor does, which is a bit unfortunate D: The hands are ball jointed in, same as always, and the beam saber mounts can swing back and forth.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYzy2WBFezyOwArPVpjYA0xnMoGfSbINc57AAUkJaeENig7BL1uGGTi_Fq2Exi0iB6xQPA1WdmdSYRFFPGtlJ3vtcpLlhbNijkdIyuOnunH8kX0ByPGbjZ5t2p-czu-hktOKBx3NSoKt4/s1600/IMG_7250.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYzy2WBFezyOwArPVpjYA0xnMoGfSbINc57AAUkJaeENig7BL1uGGTi_Fq2Exi0iB6xQPA1WdmdSYRFFPGtlJ3vtcpLlhbNijkdIyuOnunH8kX0ByPGbjZ5t2p-czu-hktOKBx3NSoKt4/s320/IMG_7250.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">On to the lower body! All six pieces of the skirt armor are able to move around [if you separate the front skirts and the back skirts, as they come molded as one part]. The legs peg right into the waist, and can move around really well since the skirts are good at getting out of the way xD. The knees are double jointed, and are actually the same knees as Reborns Gundam [seeing a pattern here? :P ].

<div style="text-align: left;">~*~FINAL VERDICT~*~</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"> After all is said and done, is the HG 1.5 Gundam worth it? Honestly, if you've got Reborns Gundam already, it really isn't. Unless you like the color scheme or the binder attachment thing, you're really just getting the same kit again. Would I still recommend it to people? Of course! It's sleek, posable, and purple! :D It brings an appropriate amount of accessories, and can even have them all equipped at the same time. 1.5 Gundam usually retails for around $20, and the base color scheme is a much lighter purple [I went over it with some TS-24 Purple though :3 ] but it's still an awesome build and looks especially cool next to Reborns~</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3yv0hyphenhyphen1BfKbGJxX89WeZvAKu9VIXYCgkn3y-ccT2vHuHqthRqjgGbm8hGW6tdJpHEL6R9E4wOfajbCSng2GGf-pgbAzTgqnfgvArYobsGFSwygAH6utt_pu1Rnm-eEOXZOki14ZIefNo/s1600/IMG_7275.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3yv0hyphenhyphen1BfKbGJxX89WeZvAKu9VIXYCgkn3y-ccT2vHuHqthRqjgGbm8hGW6tdJpHEL6R9E4wOfajbCSng2GGf-pgbAzTgqnfgvArYobsGFSwygAH6utt_pu1Rnm-eEOXZOki14ZIefNo/s320/IMG_7275.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
I'm really sorry about the lapse in reviews D: I was on break between quarters, so I was incredibly busy trying to pack as much fun with friends in as I could before school started back up again. I'll have this week's review up a bit early, as I'm going home this weekend again [for my brother's Bar-Mitzvah! :D ]. But yeah, the next month or so is gonna be pretty tough for this blog =\. Lots of traveling, places without computer access, etc so hopefully I'll be able to have a few reviews finished up so there isn't a huge lull for December.<br />
<br />
One kit you probably won't be seeing a review of, though, is this fella. The HGUC Advanced Hazel + Resin G Parts Hrududu, combined to make the Advanced Hazel Rah! I put a hell of a lot of work into it, but it still could have come out better. If only I could find an original Hrududu kit...<br />

This is one of those kits that really looks wonderful just standing there, in my opinion. Since it's permanently in Destroy Mode, you don't have to worry about the more fiddly bits falling off, which is quite nice :D<br />

Time for some articulation~. Unicorn's head is on a ball joint and can rotate and move nicely [only being impeded by the beam sabers on the backpack]. The neck is on two pegs and can swing upward, allowing for some cool mid-flight posing. The shoulders are hinged and, as you can see in the first picture below, can kind of fold in to allow for better shoulder movement ^__^. The torso itself has a ball joint inside it, but it doesn't offer movement so much as to keep the body together. The arms though, are probably my one gripe with this kit's design. The shoulders are nice, can rotate 360˚ at the shoulder connection point and just below the shoulder. The elbow joints are just poorly designed. They're basically two halves of the joint sandwiching a polycap, making it quite easy for the arm to split apart at the elbow =\. In addition, there's no sort of limiter to keep the arms from bending ways they're not supposed to... so they can D: The beam saber racks can be removed and repositioned [as you'll see later] in a similar manner to the MG Unicorn Gundam. Also, the hands are your standard ball joint connection ^__^<br />

Unicorn's side and front skirts are pegged in and ball jointed, respectively, allowing for some movement. The back skirts, like with most HG kits, are totally immobile =\. The legs ball joint into the waist on a little hip piece, and the skirt armor allows for some nice movement [until you try to bend it back too far =\]. The knees are double jointed, but suffer from the same problem as the MG Unicorn Gundam: they can still only bend about 90˚. The ankle armor doesn't really move much [and it's only that little flap on the front anyway]. The ankles are double jointed, and the feet can't move around all that much because of the extra armor bits sticking out everywhere D:<br />

Honestly, I found Unicorn Gundam to be a very underwhelming build. I always try to point out the positives, but frankly the whole build and general functionality of the kit sums up to a resounding "meh." It does, however, luck out in that it has the very dynamic look that Unicorn has when posing, and the design of Destroy Mode is gorgeous :D<br />

Quite an awesome photo ^__^. The arm sabers can be a bit fiddly and fall off easily, but something tells me they weren't designed to do this >___>. What really bugs me, though, is that Unicorn's hands are actually too open to hold the beam sabers...<br />

Unicorn also brings a spare e-pac clip for the beam magnum, which also requires some painting [and puttying to fill in the back] to make it look nice~. Like on the MG, the e-pac clips onto the back skirt.<br />

~*~UNICORN HEAD DISPLAY BASE~*~<br />
<br />
Like I said earlier, I managed to snag the bundle of Unicorn Gundam [Destroy Mode] and the 1/48 Unicorn Head Display Base ^__^. It's a very quick assembly, but painting it is not an option: it <i>needs </i>it. Being just a head, it can't really move much at all, but I'll show you both forms :D<br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">HG Unicorn Gundam [Destroy Mode] is not all that difficult of a build, and it doesn't seem to use some of the more advanced HG technology that Bandai has been cranking out lately. That being said, it's still a phenomenal kit that looks awesome just standing there, and looks even better in an action-y pose. Another plus is that you don't have to worry about the nub marks, as they're either white or covered by the other armor parts [except for the backpack D: ]. By itself, Unicorn Gundam [Destroy Mode] retails for about $18, but with the Unicorn Head Display Base expect to pay close to $30 for it. It's a very clean looking kit that will add a much-needed white and pink mobile suit to any gunpla enthusiast's collection! :D</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEholBfou2f-NmOAZR1wGpjE3_PFBBKR6FoOdRFfx9vup9zn0U448Q7eGMwqOlVP_Ms5w6u2KMDtcH_dKw4HbrClf6iRL8YhHQdfqnuB6YiapdYYC2YjXiq8Ynik6XN-3a_CufDzz2gNEqM/s1600/IMG_7317.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEholBfou2f-NmOAZR1wGpjE3_PFBBKR6FoOdRFfx9vup9zn0U448Q7eGMwqOlVP_Ms5w6u2KMDtcH_dKw4HbrClf6iRL8YhHQdfqnuB6YiapdYYC2YjXiq8Ynik6XN-3a_CufDzz2gNEqM/s320/IMG_7317.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />
