Hi guys :) Something different this round... the 1/20 Scopedog by Bandai ;)

Manufacturer: Bandai
Scale: 1/20
Origin: VOTOMs

Part 1: Runners

Plenty of runners ;) Parts separation is excellent, and most of the gates are under-gate which is excellent ;)












Part 2: The Extras

This kit comes with water decals that is very nice ;)




Part 3: Pilot

There's 2 pilot figures... 1 standing and another sitting ;) Parts and color separation for the sitting pilot is nicely done but the standing pilot would need some masking.

This pilot seat is very nice and very detailed ;)

Quick Review

Plastic quality, Parts & Color Separations

The plastics quality as very good as usual :) The parts and color separations are very nicely done as well. Most of the gates are using undergate therefore not much nub marks on the surface.

Bandai have done a very good job in the detailing of this kit ;)


Articulations

Articulation is a bit on the negative side...

• Head/Neck: No movement... Well, the head is not supposed to move but the scope/camera is moveable :P
  
• Shoulder: Good! Old joint system but pretty good pose-ability.
  
• Arm/Elbow: Normal
  
• Wrist: Normal+
• Hand: Normal
• Waist: Normal
  
• Skirt Armour: Very good
  
• Hip/Tight: Very good
• Knee: Normal-
  
• Ankle: Good

Looks and Feels

This kit is amazingly high in details! I love it very much :) Articulations are its primary drawback but pose-ability is pretty good.

You need quite a lot of patience for this kit but the satisfaction is great upon completion ;) If you are look for something different than Gundam, this is a good choice ;)
