INTRODUCTION
what can i say about this kit...well, it's perfect! nah, just kidding, it just looks great, but it has very little mobility.. =S with the engineering (transformation wise) and design i'd give this a solid A+, but with articulation, ughh, maybe a C-..i mean, i think he was designed to just look good standing,.XD i don't really like it's all-white design so i painted mine with a gray camouflage-like pattern.the pink-ish inner frame was just not working for me so i painted it with clear red. the blue parts at first were painted with a lighter blue but i felt it didn't look good so i repainted it with dark gray, and some details like the thrusters, and the tube thingies on the back of his knees were painted with silver and red..^^ anyways, on with the review..^^
|
HEAD UNIT
the head, well i'd say this is my favorite part of this gunpla model,.it's very nice looking, and the transformation is very simple..^^ the v-fin can fold or you could just use the separate unicorn horn..^^
|
BODY UNIT
the body, well, when in unicorn mode it's really solid, but when transformed, you'll feel it's a bit flimsy, specially on it's abdomen, when you pull the mechanism on the inside, the abdomen armor will come off and when you try to place back the armor, you'll end up pushing in again the mechanism, which is a bit annoying when you're new to it's transformation, but after a while, you'll find a way to avoid that annoying instance.XD another is the part on his chest that folds down is a bit loose too, but not that of a big deal.^^ and last is the vulcans(i think) near his shoulders, flipping them open is really hard so you'll either use something to flip it out or remove the back armor and flip the vulcans out, that's how i do it, it's easier..^^ so the body, looks great but transforming it is a pain..>.<
|
ARM UNIT
the arms, it's a pretty simple build, way way simple than the legs, it's transformation is very simple too, even the shoulders, though the arms looks kind of thin, like something's missing, i think it could have been designed better..^^ two complaints, the wrist joint will be loose even if you don't pose him around that much, feels like the rifle is too heavy(even if it's not that big) for his hands, and the elbows can't even bend 90 degrees, actually it can but you need to kind of force it's armor for it to bend.so even without much complaint, i only give it an 8..
|
LEG UNIT
this part's design/transformation is really...genius.:D it has oh so much parts, i think the two legs were the longest to assemble, it has a lot of moving parts, mechanisms, and it looks really nice..^^ but i think i take back what i said about it being designed by a genius, yeah it looks great and transforms great but again, very little mobility. the knees won't bend far, much like the elbows, another minus for action poses.
|
WEAPONS/BOOSTER/EXTRAS & FINAL VERDICT
the accessories...1st is the backpack, not much to say, it's nice looking and has simple transformation. the rifle, very very nice..:D the magazine is removable, and the design is just different from other beam rifles, one of the best beam rifles I've seen..^^ and lastly the shield, not much to say about this too, it's great looking and has nice transformation too..^^
overall, i still recommend this kit..^^ even though it has very little articulation and a few loose parts, it still looks great and i think he's a must-have for gunpla collectors..^^
