MG Z’Gok Char Aznable Custom Review

This is a snap fit review of a MG Z’Gok Char Aznable Custom. I am watching Gundam Mobile Suit but I have not yet reached the part where Char pilots this mobile suit. This is a Char custom because there are a lot of Z’Gok but is colored differently, a touch of purple and black to be exact. This is one big kit for an MG. It has a nice bulky build and is very flexible to the point that I made it dance “New York New York”.

By the way, this kit is not mine. I built it per a friend’s request. I actually got 5 more to go.

Oh well, let us move already with the pictures.

1/60 God Gundam HGEX (aka Burning Gundam)

I am so happy today because I finally got my hands on a 1/60 God Gundam HGEX. I bought it second hand from someone whom I think had already given up the hobby. Anyway amongst the 1/60 HGEX that is not produced anymore, 1/60 God Gundam is the rarest of them all. I have searched high and low to get one. Glad I was the first one to contact the seller of the item.

I will overhaul this kit because there are a lot of loose connections and not neatly colored parts. Good thing it was not panel lined yet.

Here are some pictures of the second hand kit that I got.

SD Unicorn Gundam (Random Pick from the Cabinet)

Nothing much about this post… I just want to this SD Unicorn Gundam added to my blog. Another kit made by my Gf, because most of the time we build kits together. Even though it happens that we are building 2 different kits at the same time, we still can’t seem to keep up with the backlog of Gundams that we have… blah blah blah… haha Sorry for the talk…

By the way, the gun is painted “gun metal” color though it is not that visible in the picture.

Anyway here are the pictures 🙂

Enjoy!

SD Destiny Gundam OOTB Review

Here is a little straight build review of SD Destiny Gundam from the series Gundam Seed Destiny. Seems unfair because the name of the Gundam is found on the title of the series hehe ^^. This was built by my GF. Yeah, she is a Gunpla collector like me. And besides, any girl would like to build this PINK-ish kit. No panel lines or whatever… just plain ol’ snap-fitted kit.

HGEX 1/60 Victory Two (V2) Gundam OOTB Review – Part 2

This part contains the pictures of 1/60 Victory Two (V2) Gundam taken on my persona mini studio… You can check the individual parts on part 1 of this post here…  Again this is a partially weathered build. Its practically a snap-fitted attempt but I kinda got the itch to dirty the kit a little which turned out really good. V2 gundam is an overall great kit. I am planning to put some wings on it if I have the time…

Here are the pictures!

HGEX 1/60 Victory Two (V2) Gundam OOTB Review – Part 1

I just finished building 1/60 V2 Gundam a while ago (about 15mins). In this review, I will be showing a “slightly-weathered-snap-fit” build. V2 stands for Victory 2. I don’t know the story and I hope to read it someday. At first I thought that this will be a really small 1/60 version. But in the end, I was really happy about how it looks. It had a quite a complex mechanism involved because it can transform into an core fighter unit. Kind of reminds me of Macross…

The size comparisons will be at the end of the post…

Here are the pictures…

1/60 Strike Gundam and Striker Weapon System Review (part 2)

Because of the quantity of pictures, we have to create a 2nd part of the review just for the showcasing of the Striker Weapon System when attached to the 1/60 Strike (Big Scale). Again, this is a straight build. No details whatsoever. So you can see what it looks like if ever you want to buy one yourself.

This is a great buy! one Strike Gundam plus three weapons pack. Ain’t it cool?

 

Here are the pictures.

 

First is the Launcher Strike
includes Agni Impulse Gun, Anti-Vessel Multi-Barrel Gun, and Gun-Launcher Combo Unit

1/60 Strike Gundam and Striker Weapon System Review (part 1)

This will be an out of the box build review, I just snap fitted all the parts to have a look at how big 1/60 Strike Gundam and Striker Weapon System is. I received this one from Coldfire where most of my kits come from.

What I can say about this kit is that it is big! The sword is as big common house knife! For me this is a great buy. I am really a fan of 1/60 Gundams whether PG or not.

Contrary to the belief of many, this kit includes one Strike Gundam PLUS the Weapons. Many thought that only the weapons are included.

 

Let us have the pictures do the talking

SD Qan[T] Gundam OOTB Review

Another out of the box build review. This time it is SD Qan[T] (pronounced as ‘kwanta’) coming from the movie Awakening of the Trail Blazer. I haven’t personally watched the movie but I will do so very soon. This is the 3rd Gundam Setsuna F. Seiei pilots on the Gundam 00 (Double 0)

Overall a very nice kit. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

 

BTW! I built it without even looking at the manual. LOL (tried it for fun)
