Zhou Yu Armored (Loongon)

Hi folks :) I'm doing a quick review this round for a not-so-commonly-reviewed kit from Loongon, aka Little White Dragon or 小白龙 ;) and this kit is at the size of a Bandai HG 1/144 kit.

Manufacturer: Loongon, aka Little White Dragon or 小白龙
Scale: 1/144
Origin: China original series
Price: RM19.90


Part 1 - Runner

This kit consists of 4 runners... 1 for the action stand, and 3 for the mecha. Certain parts are pre-colored in Red. One surprise in this kit is the action stand ;)






Part 2 - Legs

The legs are similar to the older HG kit, with OK articulations. It is a bit disappointed that there is no sticker or decals for the legs and the patterns need to be colored manually :p





Part 3 - Body & Torso

Same as the legs, the armor comes only in 1 color; the Reds and Grey are colored manually, except the front skirt armor. The waist could be turned as per a HG.





Part 4 - Arms

The arms are pretty ordinary with below-par articulations. The only plus point here is the various hands provided for posing.




Part 5 - Head

The head is quite a disappointment... the details are not clear, and yet there is no sticker provided for the eyes :(





Part 6 - Weaponry

This is best things from this kit, but you need to color it manually to make it look good :p




Part 7 - Completed Kit

Well, take a look at the completed kit, partially painted :p









Part 8 - Size Comparison

Standing side-by-site with HGFC God Gundam ;)
