"Perfect Grade" BB Lv Bu (TT Hongli)



Hi all :) Welcome to my 1st review of the Rabbit Year ;)

Manufacturer: TT Hongli

Scale: None
Grade: "Perfect Grade" SD
Origin: TT Hongli Mech-Hero Three-Kingdom


Pre-Order: RM35 per unit (COD price)
Pre-Order Set of 3 (different or same model): RM99 per set (COD price)

Quick Review


This is my 3rd straight build of the series :)

Well, this quick review would be quite similar to Zhang Fei and Liu Bei that I did earlier :)

Plastic Quality
  • The plastic quality is very nice. Lookout, Bandai!

Colour Separation
  • Well, TT Hongli did a pretty good job here ;)

Sticker
  • After 2 prior encounter with the stickers, I already have some experience handling them ;) Just do not rub or press on the stickers and it shall be good.

Articulations
  • Head/Neck: Good... ball joint, movement is great for the head/neck ;)
  • Shoulder: Good... The shoulder is connected to the shoulder armour which then connects to the body but the armour doesn't interfere with the movement like what happened to Zhang Fei :)
  • Elbow: Elbow can be bend 90 degrees! Hardly see this feature in Bandai's SD/BB ;)
  • Hand/Wrist: As usual.
  • Torso: As usual, can twist left & right :)
  • Hip: Ball joint to the tight... movement is pretty good.
  • Knee: An SD/BB with knee that can bend nearly to 90 degrees! Nuff say ;)
  • Ankle/Feet: Ball joint... quite good movement ;)
  • The articulation system is a little ahead of Bandai's SD/BB of the same price range.

Pose-ability
  • Good.

Things to look out for...
  • Nothing particularly easy-broken :) Just don't rub the stickers with you fingers... use a cotton butt or tissue paper to press instead or else the colour would come off and showing silver colour instead...

General
  • This is good to have for a change. TT Hongli could do better with this kit but I see no flaw still... the end result is quite satisfying ;)
Head

The helmet and accessories are pretty nice :) In fact, the helmet is PRETTY DAMN NICE!








Chest


Quite alright :)
A bit plain tho :p





Shoulder and Arm

The shoulder armour is pretty well design.
However, The upper arm is squarish, and the left/right twisting movement is blocked by the shoulder armour... the arms need to be unplug and replug in order to pose, but this is not a big issue :)

The elbow can bend 90 degrees so its GOOD!





Waist/Torso

Front and back skirt can move a bit... side skirts can move outward! Nice!






Leg

Quite good movement :) Leg is longer than usual SD/BB, and the knee can bend almost to 90 degrees ;)





Backpack & Thrusters

The backpack and thrusters are pretty nice ;) hmm... it resemble Sazabi tho...




Weaponry

Nicely designed ;)




Posing :)







Great Pose-ability

Articulations are very good and can do a variety of pose :)




Fin ;)
