Acrylic Plastic Model Display Case Review

Hi there :)

I've just got this interesting Acrylic plastic display case from my friend, Ascentic, and I can't wait to post a review on this case...

Manufacturer: QY (China Brand)
Dimension: 21.5 x 21 x 26 cm (enough to fit an MG as tall as Sinanju)
Price: RM50 COD (Email to me at duelmasterng@yahoo.com)
Availability: Limited stock, 1st come 1st serve

Open Box

The box is quite thin, but it pack some weight due to the 5 pieces of acrylic plastics board. The boards are individually packed to prevent scratches during transit, but there would still be some non-obvious scratches here and there which is not noticeable once assembled.




Lighting Effect

The case comes with 2 lights... one in blue, and the other flashing rainbow light powered by 2 AAA batteries (not included).



Assembly

It is pretty easy to assemble the case...

1. Set up the base;
2. Set up the side panels;
3. Place you kit into the case;
4. Cover the top panel.

It helps a lot if you have an extra pair of hand, but masking tape would come in handy too if you are short of hand :p



Display Case in Action

For this review, I placed 2 model kits into the case... my MG RX-78NT1, and HGUC Nu-Gundam. As you can see in the following pictures, there are still space available for taller kits like Sinanju and Unicorn :)

Conclusion

The display case, for RM50, is a must-have if you want to showcase your handy work :) Not only limited to Gunpla... you can use this case for any display items you do not want outside interference ;)

"Perfect Grade" BB Liu Bei (TT Hongli)

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 2nd straight build of the series :)

I was still surprised to see that TT Hongli is actually releasing their own casting of Three-Kingdom SD model kits, when Bandai's casting of Sangokuden is so well known and well thought off...

Well, this quick review would be quite similar to Zhang Fei 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. Can be better tho, for the cloak... since there are to a big portion of gold-coloured section on the cloak, TT Hongli should make separate parts just like the head ;)
  

Sticker

• The sticker is not good... colour come off if scrubbed too hard with hands, and there is a lot of sticker usage for this kit... :(
  

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 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, but the head is just a bit odd... maybe some colouring would make it better :p





Chest

Quite ordinary... coloring by stickers as to most of Bandai's BB but pretty easy to re-colour it :)



Shoulder and Arm

Very well design. I like those :) 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 ;)




Cloak

Nicely designed and I like this! However, TT Hongli could do better making separate parts for the gold colour instead of using stickers since the put the "Perfect Grade" on the box ;)

The joints could be conceal better tho...

Closed Cloak




Open Cloak




Weaponry

The twin sword :) Pretty neat design and can be held at the back of the cloak.



Liu Bei, Full-Cloak (Defensive) Mode

Resemble Crossbone Full-Cloak and Master Gundam ;) Stylish!





Side-by-Side Comparison with Bandai's BB

The "Perfect Grade" is a bit taller than ordinary BB :)



Liu Bei, Open-Cloak (Offensive) Mode

Pretty balanced ;) Just wished that the inner cloak was taken care off by the manufacturer too (look much better from the back angle :p). I guess they leave something for mods ;)






Great Pose-ability

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







Posing With Zhang Fei!
