Bandai Spirits #31 Crossbone Gundam X1 Crossbone Gundam RG 1/144 Review:


I'll start by stating the obvious. This kit appears to be amazing. To that end, if you're new to gunpla, be aware that it includes a lot of tiny components and that if you're hurrying or not paying attention, you'll probably mess up something or even lose one of those pieces. This is my opinion as someone who has only completed three HG kits before beginning this build. So enjoy one of the coolest-looking gundams around while you can! Update: I finished the kit and avoided making any mistakes. Stunning even without the decals. amazing construction



Bandai Hobby HGUC 1/144 #46 RGM-79G GM Command Gundam 0080" Model Kit Review:


Pros-Simple Construction Interesting Bullpup-style Rifle Beautiful Natural ColorsCons-Low-quality hands wield guns loosely.Beam saber: the saber is affixed to the hand carrying it and is made of opaque tan plastic rather than translucent like recent kits.few notable decals.



Bandai Hobby 1/144 RG Gundam Astray Red Frame Action Figure Review:


The greatest genuine grade kit available right now! This Gundam Astray is very stylish and cool. The Gundam Astray has some extremely unique weapons and excellent joint flexibility. Like I said, the weapons are pretty cool, but the Gerbera straight is the one that most of you will use. Although this katana is delicate and may break if you bend it too hard, it has excellent detail. But if you take care of it, it will be fine and a fantastic Gundam prop. One of the few Gundam kits that truly resembles an action figure is this one. When finished, this kit is sturdy and enjoyable to use. Since I am a beginner and it took me around 3 hours to complete this kit, I would suggest that even if you are just starting out, this kit will work for you. The posable hands, unlike other real grade kits, are truly strong enough to hold all the weapons, which is one thing I thought was pretty cool. I use these hands because they can grasp the weapons securely and because the way the wrists are designed, they won't fall out as quickly as hands that are placed in a defined position. This kit is truly incredible, and it's the greatest one yet if you want to enter the actual grade line. This kit is among the best, if not the best, you can get for less than thirty bucks.I do advise against sticking any stickers on the head cameras or the eyes if you decide to get this kit because if you do, the eyes will really stand out and you will think that this is the "genuine thing."



Bandai 5055446#21 Gundam Barbatos Lupus Hg IBO 1/144 Model Kit, from Gundam IBO Review:


This is the first gundam that I have purchased. It was enjoyable and simple to assemble, but some parts looked like they needed to be cut off, and I unintentionally did so, so be careful and carefully read the instructions. The stickers are also simple to apply if you have tweezers, and if you start by sticking them on one side, the chest is very loose and comes off when trying to move the arms.



Bandai Hobby MG Freedom Gundam (Ver. 2.0) "Gundam Seed 1/100 Review:


I frequently wondered if the excitement around this kit would be justified. It does, I can guarantee you. I haven't finished the build entirely, but I'm getting close. The kit is well articulated, the proportions are superb, and the color separation truly brings out the highlights of the figure. Although I'm not a huge fan of Seed, I have to admit that the Freedom is undoubtedly one of the best Gundam designs ever created, and this kit really brings it to life. You can only make it better by painting it. A stand was also included in the set, which is fantastic. It is absurd to require separate stands for MG Gunpla. A few points: Hip problems are well-known. Put the legs on with caution. I had no problems, but some people have reported breaking the hip pegs when putting them on. Keep in mind that this is a model, so be tactful. Additionally, be particularly careful to follow the instructions because some kit components won't want to come off once they are in place. In an attempt to remove one of the lower leg panels to correct a mistake, I actually broke one of the panels. It is broken, but you can't see it right now. So with this one, paint before you build. It won't need to be disassembled to be painted.



Bandai #01 RX-78-2 Gundam 1/144, Real Grade Review:


This was the Real Grade line's initial model, which has several implications. Positively, Bandai's designers obviously sought to make a statement and set the Real Grade apart from the current High Grade line. As a result, everything is really complicated, and you can see that a lot of engineering went into launching the Real Grades. With the inner frame and sliding armor panels, this model is quite exciting to pose. You also get a decent array of weaponry. It can maintain a position rather well without sliding off too much.The disadvantage of being the first in the RG line is that the designers were unable to draw lessons from earlier designs. Some components are a touch too little to be of much use, and if you're not careful, they will break easily. I managed to shatter the hip part while attempting to get the joints to move, despite the fact that the inner frame is already articulated right out of the box from the runner. (Superglue, thankfully, helped put everything back together.) The fact that it only has two sets of hands—closed fist and the awkwardly articulated hands—also disappointed me. Like in subsequent RG versions, there are no distinct trigger fingers or open hands. Another issue is the action base mount, which only accommodates the square tab of a real Action Base and has no peg-hole for less expensive stands. It fits into the model too loosely for comfort.PROS: High-grade inner frame means sophisticated moving armor and Master Grade intricacy in High-grade size. includes two sets of beam sabers (one with grip tabs for the hands and the other without), a shield, a bazooka, and a beam rifle. Transformable core fighter can dock with suit, or for further flexibility, you can use the given block. a good construction procedure plus Many stickers for a realistic appearance.Cons: There are no separate trigger finger, open hand, or saber holder hands. Parts can break if you're not careful.- A base mount with disappointing action (notice the wire stand in the pictures)Beam sabers are absurdly lengthy.Overall, this is a fantastic portrayal of the very first Gundam and a fantastic beginning for the Real Grade line. Although subsequent RG models have improved upon it, this one is still reliable. A wonderful addition to your collection, without a doubt.



Bandai Hobby MG Gundam Kai Model Kit (1/100 Scale), Astray Red Frame Review:


Astray red frame for MG Kai is among the top kits available. The package contains a lot of plastic (more than 25 runners), but it costs less than models that are similar, like the mg 00 raiser or the rezel type C, for instance. If you've never put together a master grade astray before, the build is excellent with lots of detail throughout. Although the shoulder to chest connection isn't the best, the model has excellent range of motion in all joints. Additionally, there are a lot of nubs that need to be cleaned up—the most I've seen of the 10 master grades assembled. The final product is excellent in every way, so this is easily overlooked. A distinct and organic feeling is produced by the colors and how they are divided. It has a somewhat cyberpunk appearance as a result of the decals' positioning, which enhances its aesthetic appeal.The guns and gear on the astray red frame are incredible. Two chrome-coated samurai swords with personalized names and intricate scabbards are included. These are extremely beautifully done and look great in any position. Additionally, it includes a sizable red sword in the style of cloud struggle that morphs into a number of intriguing styles. It can change into several different things, including an enormous bow with a yellow effect portion at the tip, an odd delta shape (as seen on the box image), a flight mode, a backpack v-form, and a huge sword. You may also convert the sword into the gattling gun form because it has unused components from the astray blue frame kit. You also receive the two black side-daggers and their sheaths from the incorrect blue frame. Finally, you can make the blade arms of the blue frame again, but without the pink effect components. Posing options are practically endless because the package also includes an adjustable red stand to hold the tactical arms sword in all of its configurations. The astray red frame kai is often unmatched for what you receive in relation to what you pay.



HOMOFY 90PCS Castle Magnetic Building Blocks Magnet Tiles Early Educational Kids Toddlers Toys for 3 4 5 6 7 Years Old Boys Girls Gifts Review:


The top toys for kids are those made by Homofy. I've captured some images and video showing how everything fits together. Given that the hues are pastel, they are calming.The fact that they send a booklet of goods with matching designs for other castles and objects is one of my favorite things about this company. Therefore, you can encourage the child to model and match in addition to using their creativity.It is neat to store away because it has a nice case to hold all the pieces. a lock latch blessing from a mother.makes you long to be a child once more, lol.



DreamWorks How to Train Your Dragon: Hidden World Toothless Book and 3D Wood Model Figure Kit - Build, Paint and Collect Your Own Wooden Toy Model - for Kids and Adults, 8+ - 7" Review:


My 11-year-old is really into everything Dragon related. This kit was out of stock when I first saw it. As soon as it was, I waited for it to become available and placed my order. As soon as the box was opened, my 11-year-old was so eager to receive it and put it together. It is of excellent quality, comes with simple to follow directions, and was enjoyable to paint after it was all finished! The book that was provided was a fantastic addition!



Bandai Hobby HGFC 1/144 #110 G GUNDAM "Mobile Fighter G Gundam" Model Kit Review:


Cons: This kit seems to be pretty out-of-date. This will lead into my second con, which doesn't mean the kit is poor.- It was a little challenging to follow the instructions on the first page. With their picture directions, Bandai excels. The instructions for newer kits explain what particular characters represent when building in English, unlike older kits, which are all in Japanese (as are most of their kits). There is no English in this area, which would have made construction simpler.- This gadget is quite tiny. It gives my RG Sazabi a dwarflike appearance, as you can see in my backdrop shot. Since it is 1/144 scale, I believe it to be this little in reality. Other RG kits are available that are virtually as compact (RG MK II). Just a little bit bigger was all I expected.Pros - This is one of the better kits for an outdated one. Its primary color palette of yellow, white, red, and blue doesn't really need to be changed.- When compared to the HiRM version, which costs roughly $125, the HiDef version of this will be released on Christmas Day 2019 for Gunpla builders like myself.- This kit can be made prettier by using Gundam markers or Tamiya panel lining ink.- has a good number of foil stickers included.- Last but not least, this Gundam is incredibly poseable.Definitely advise purchasing this set.
