INTRODUCTION
Hey guys, I just wanted to submit a review that's not embellished in high scores like some that are on here. (Not meaning to offend anyone, just wanted to make a review that has legitimate reasons for their scores). So here it goes...
I bought the Hi-V for a good deal on ebay for about 63 dollars. When I first opened the box, I was bewildered by how many pieces and how big the box was. I started assembling it...
|
HEAD UNIT
This head is pretty much standard, but the thing is, the clear piece used as the eyes and sensors are attached to the "helmet" pieces rather differently than other kits, which may lead to difficulties when modding to remove seamlines and painting.
|
BODY UNIT
The body of this gundam deserves some praise because it's so well detailed and is made up of so many different pieces. One thing to it though; the cockpit doesn't close down all the way, it sort of hovers in the air in a "creaked" opening.
|
ARM UNIT
The arms, great for kitbashing. They have so many different functions and details in them including a Gatling gun that can be reminisced to Alex gundam, and it also includes ammo clips. The thing I don't like about it is that the way the shield attaches to the gundam is via the opposite side of the forearm, leading to many awkward poses.
|
LEG UNIT
The legs on this gundam sports working hydraulics and man parts that can be colored silver to give the gundam a touch of realism. Bandai's master grade technology was also used to connect the legs to the hip of the gundam, but it rather fails because if done the wrong way, moving the legs can cause the two plates connecting the hip to break, causing you to call up bandai for replacement parts.
|
WEAPONS/BOOSTER/EXTRAS & FINAL VERDICT
The weapons on this gundam are sort of neat. The shield, beam sabers and funnels are very nice on this gundam. I just wish the shield connected differently to the gundam itself. The beam rifle of the hi-v is rather weak looking, almost like a needle gun. The backpack area of the gundam looks beautiful; thrusters, gas tanks, and funnels give it a very sophisticated look. The gimmick of having Hi-V go into "full burst" mode is rather a flop because the clear rods holding the funnels in place starts to sag after a few minutes.
Final Verdict
I'd give this gundam a score of 7.7/10 overall. I just didn't like the fact that the gimmick that jacked the price up on this gundam failed. So when spending your money, don't expect the funnel gimmick to work. Other than that, the Hi-V is just an incredible gundam. The frame is genious.
