BUILDS

I have been anticipating this kit for quite some time since it was leaked. It's tough to decide between this one and the other Nu FF but which comes first will be served first. It didn't disappoint. The building experience might be tiresome with all the nubs (yeah, you have to carefully treat them or they will be annoying later), and the whole 12 funnels. All the pieces came together pretty smooth, I didn't have any trouble working on them during my 5 day building. Except the shoulder armor can be too tight which you may need to loosen the connecting parts a bit. However, the decal included in this model kit is a huge let down... It's mostly irrelevant to the kit itself and doesn't do any justice to this beauty. I had to purchase a separate EVO metallic decal for ver Ka to use it here. Pretty much 95% matching. What's a nice surprise. The base comes with it is quite useful with options and supporting pieces. Love it. This Nu Gundam is newbie friendly as well as satisfying to assemble for experienced ones. I'm mid so I enjoy it a lot. No jokes.

To me this is the perfect Sinanju. I mean, I have been looking for a chance to buy the MG Sinanju from Bandai and have it painted in white/gold scheme yet the price was always too high. So I jumped when Comet Technology announced this model kit. Overall, it doesn't have many issues. Some part might be difficult to put together so you may want to be careful, especially the backpack. The thigh joints require force to press them into the sockets in the waist. I removed the legs and pushed the joints together until they clicked. After hearing that sound, you are good to put the legs on and pose to your heart content. All the plastic comes with this kit are ABS. But don't be afraid of panel lining, I have done the demonstration for you here. Just need to shake the ink well before applying and don't apply too much at once, you will be good. It is Sinanju with Takumi upgrade parts. There is no better Sinanju. One huge drawback from this model kit, might be an overlook from the publisher, is the water slide/decal. I don't know whose idea was it to use gray decals on white armor kit. They look indifferent. So I had to purchase the golden EVO decals and some other leftover from others to style up my behemoth. Pretty much a solid third party kit with familiar face here. The frame is very much alike the Bandai's Sinanju OVA, if you try to compare.

This kit has the best quality among all the third party model kits I have encountered so far... Clean plastic, well placed nubs, smooth snapfit, no weird gimmicks holding it back, no risky part placement, firm joints... everything is perfect for a chilling building session. Pretty newbie friendly if you are looking to join the hobby. The design of this JEDA can be described by a single word: simplicity. Everything is made simple as much as possible. No overdetailed in parts. No gimmick anywhere. The shield is pretty much assembled by 3 large pieces of plastic (haha). But it is not bland. There are lines and cubes across the body to emphasize its structure while the overall stature is beautiful. Probably that is why they had to make it bigger than MG counterparts. And that's what makes it boring, in my opinion. Too safe. Much original. Yet it is a grunt suit, nobody expects it to be flashy or equipped with planet killing guns so it fulfills the role perfectly. The scale is quite off when putting together with other MGs so be mindful. Also, the water decal is another disappointment. Many of them don't look like what in the manual (for example, the pieces of 3, 10, and 13). The gun has no decals at all. The base has too many which I didn't apply at all. Pretty well made kit for a cheap price.

I got my solid clear MG Gundam Exia a few years ago. It was because the normal MG was out of stock back then and I had no interest in clear model kits as well. Yet it changed my world. The colorful clear parts do create a distinct and fresh look on the model kit whilst the white parts stay cool as usual. When they announced the clear armor parts for this GP02, I knew what I wanted. However, life is not always working out that easily... The clear parts in this MLRS equipment set seem to not have the same quality as the normal ones. It's difficult to assemble them at places and you need to handle them with extra care or they would break away. The color separation in the chest and shoulder thrusters are tough. It has two shades of blue mixing with the subtle yellow bits. I was thinking of keeping some parts being normal rather than clear but then decided to go all the way through. Still looking good I hope. The MLRS package feels... disappointing. The best (and also worst) thing about them is the details on the pods created by applying full decals. 25 pieces of water slides on each pods and an additional 4 pieces onto each rocket. They look quite satisfying laying on the ground. When mounting to the gundam... not so much I think. There are no effects to use with the rocket so they are staying in the pods forever. Don't do the decals if you are not prepared. Think about it twice before starting. In the end, everyone gets this equipment set for the MLRS whilst my target is the clear armor set (only to use 2/5 of it lol). The white clear parts look decent on their own and I may purchase a second hand body only to put them on in the future. The base is sold separately by another third party.

First of all, this feels like a fan project coming to life than a mass produced model kit.

33 — MOBILE SUIT / 2025-08

This Zeus Silhouette is no difference. They based on the Bandai's HG design, followed it closely, and added details on top of it. The result is a beautiful looking equipment set for your HG, RG, or even MRD.

32 — EQUIPMENT / 2025-08

The second part continues from https://youtu.be/kCtVfv52Pzc as they are the same model kit Golden Warrior from Shenma (God Horse).

31 — MOBILE SUIT / 2025-08

The first impression is the box looks bland with all yellow color and the runners are... funny. There are runners not on the manual but on an extra manual (or actually, papers). So we have one manual, three additional papers, and two set of runners. One set of runners (with no alphabet header) and a piece of paper manual are for the metal part building. A manual and the rest of the runners are for building up the Hyaku Shiki Kai Full Armor. A piece of paper for the LED, and another piece for correction.

Another beautiful crafted backpack from Bandai's metal build. And with Daban's magic, it is available to use model kit lovers. The paint and color of the kit are still pretty much high quality, it looks almost identical to the metal build's counter part. It's a bit pitiful that the joints and weight are still far from the original one but apprearance does matter.

27 — EQUIPMENT / 2025-06

It looks exactly like the metal build counterpart of Bandai. From the frame, to the armor. Bonus point if you add some Amax decals (the one included in the kit is okay but not good enough). I was surprised as I cut the parts from runner for assembling. They come painted and coated already, with the undergates everywhere.

26 — EQUIPMENT / 2025-05

This package is technically you are buying a pet and getting a body as a gift lol the amount of engineering and details they put into that monster is tremendous. For a price of $30, it's obviously a steal.

25 — MECHA / 2025-05

Yet nothing is perfect, especially when it is cheap, or at least cheaper than most of the market. The snapfits I found worse than Nezha and Baiqi. There are times I had troubles putting the parts together in various places. Be careful or you would break those tiny bits. The design is not for everyone, too. Zhao Yun looks busy with so many colors and details that you might not even see him properly as a "humanoid" but a bunch of armors.

24 — MECHA / 2025-04

This is the third kit from Iron Toys, and it is inspired from Mobile Suit Gundam 00 just like the previous ones. I wouldn't say they copied those designs because there are lots of changes here and there and the quality of this kit is improved from its predecessors, in both design and snapfit.

23 — MECHA / 2025-04

I bought this kit for simple reason: passing time while waiting for Zhao Yun from Motor Nuclear and Bandai's MG Vidar. The result is mixed. It's a straight build so let's go over it quickly!

22 — MECHA / 2025-03

The best thing about this one is its looking. Apparently, it is made after the Yujiao Land resin upgrade so it has the best looking in the market. That is the outer part, for the inner, we have metal frame which is sturdy and well built to reinforce it. The version I built even has a coating to carry the Impulse gundam further into the land of perfection. Like 12/10 for the appearance alone.

21 — MOBILE SUIT / 2025-02

This is my second Hemoxian's kit because I'm not fond of the first Thor. Actually, it is non-gundam by the look of it and the design is just... off. But Tastier has me interested since the introduction, then the Lone Shadow raised it further.

20 — HUMANOID / 2025-01

The MGSD line up has been awesome so far. The next kit is better than the previous and the quality was already solid from the start!

19 — MOBILE SUIT / 2025-01

In short, this model kit is a huge improvement from its predecessor Star Destroyer. The quality is better in many ways, with some problems still staying. If you are looking for a score, 8/10 would be my score, and that does not count the additional armor pieces it came with: two coloured armor parts and two different sets of effect in green and orange. You can mix them up as you like!

18 — MECHA / 2024-11

The second model kit from Ming Jiang Legend, with the scale is likely 1/72 if we are using gunpla metrics, rather than 1/100 as they specified.

17 — MECHA / 2024-11

I built this kit for a friend two months ago. Then entirely forgot about making this video until now.

16 — HUMANOID / 2024-10

There are very few cons that I can list about this model kit. Its quality is solid and the design is exceeding my wildest dream about a GP kit from Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. I love the kits in that series but most of Bandai's MGs are really old and one of them is RE/100 which is not bad but it's not my type.

15 — MOBILE SUIT / 2024-06

Everything is as good as you could expect from a Motor Nuclear model kit: quality plastic, highly detailed armors, a lot of pointy pieces, and gems. The 6 hand gimmick is fresh and fun to play with, especially when we have varieties of hands to compose.

14 — MECHA / 2024-05

This is my first Moderoid model kit although I have a lot of favorites in the line up. So my experience with it is nil and I will try to compare with other brands while going, especially Bandai's.

13 — MECHA / 2024-02

This Chinese brand's kit is surprisingly satisfied to assemble.

12 — MECHA / 2024-01

Aside from poor MG Exia and its variants, all the 00 gundams are absolute beasts in the form of MG with highly details and top notch quality. Dynames, Virtue, and Kyrios are carefully crafted to capture their anime counterpart with precision. Knowing that I'm too late into building them, especially since everyone have seen it already themselves, I can't resist making a video for it.

11 — MOBILE SUIT / 2023-12

A relic of a dead brand. It has only one product as I have researched and it is kind of interesting build. The mold seems broken at many places results in plenty of bit to be handled carefully. The design is quite good for a third party product with some questionable choices of pegs and holes. The final product however is looking amazing as it should. I love it despite all the faults.

10 — MOBILE SUIT / 2023-12

This is my first FM kit every and it is just purely awesome. While the frame can't be compared to a normal MG kit, especially the 2.0 lineup, it holds itself pretty good with many joints and articulation. Even the feet has three articulation points!

09 — MOBILE SUIT / 2023-05

The assembling experience is satisfying with no hiccup at all. One thing to note is I didn't use the included Bandai stickers but adopted third party water decals instead, just like my other kits. This is not due to quality but rather personal choice.

08 — MOBILE SUIT / 2023-04

Motor Nuclear apparently did their homework and fixed most of Ao Bing (MNP-XH03)'s problems in Cao Ren model kit. The whole kit is satisfying to assemble with minor hiccup and no major issues at all. Some panel lining would help make your Cao Ren remarkable as his design doesn't have many colors going on the body. You can put Cao Ren backpack on Ao Bing as upgradation since his backpack doesn't offer much value. Recommended.

07 — MECHA / 2023-04

This is the gundam that I have always wanted to build for a long time. 00 series is my second favorite after SEED (tied with IBO but I have none of the MG or FM IBO kits). Dynames is so dooooope but R.I.P Dylan :(

06 — MOBILE SUIT / 2023-03

Overall good quality with coating and undergated parts. Some part does not fit well enough and might need additional handling or taking carefully.

05 — MOBILE SUIT / 2023-02

My first RG and also second P-Bandai kit, after MG Astray Gold Frame, why do all my favorite gundams come as P-Bandai :(

04 — MECHA / 2023-01

Thanks to @Gundam.Info who uploaded SEED HD for free last month, I have gone through my favorite series again. Eventually, I wanted to purchase the Freedom GCP one instead (well it can wait) but there was none in stock. So Freedom 2.0 it is.

03 — MECHA / 2022-10

Pretty solid kit so far with a lot of improvements from other Daban models. However, I think this is a result of them copying MJH model which is known for their good joints design. I am not quite sure but I will double-check by borrowing one later.

02 — MOBILE SUIT / 2022-09

This is my first timelapse video of assembling a gunpla kit even when this is already my 5th MG. It was fun trying to experience different viewpoints and shots but the end result seems to be a beautiful mess to me alone. This kit is really worth a shot at regardless of Bandai or Daban. Sazabi is really one of a kind when it comes to gunpla. The special coating is, yeah, glorious icing on the cake.
