HG Age-1 Titus Special (Dragon Momoko)

Happy New Year 2013! Here's the long pending 2nd release of Dragon Momoko HG Age-1 series, Titus Special Edition ;)

Manufacturer: Dragon Momoko
Scale: 1/144
Grade: HG
Origin: Gundam AGE
Price: RM30 (Contact me at DuelMasterNG@yahoo.com for availability)

Please take note that I did minor coloring and panel lining ;)

Section 1: Runners

Detailing are fantastic! Good job, Dragon Momoko! I would say it is up to 99% as good compare to the original, and it surpassed the original with all minor upgrades :)

Let's count the minor upgrades: -

• Additional spikes on shoulders,
• Additional spikes on knee,
• Additional spikes on ankle guard,
• Upgraded Lariat effect,

The plastics quality is pretty good so you can treat it like mostly an original ;)

Instead of being like Bandai where multiple colors are molded on a single runner, Dragon Momoko separates into single-color runner :P

Section 2: Legs

Very good detailing and articulations. Also some good additional spikes on knee and ankle guard ;)

Important: When assembling the thigh (step 12 on the instruction), use PC7 instead of PC1 as illustrated in the instruction manual or else you would be short of 1x PC1.

Section 3: Waist

Pretty straight-forward build with very good parts separation ;) Just a little tight fitting in the PC to the side skirts :P

Notes: You might want to consider gluing the back skirt as they might fall off while posing :P

Section 4: Chest

Pretty straight-forward build too :) Excellent parts separations and great shoulder articulations, credit to Bandai ;) The body is common for all AGE-1, only the shoulder piece is red color instead of blue.

 

Section 5: Head

Same as the Age-1 Normal version... Very nice parts separations :) The foil sticker for the sensors also fit nicely.

Section 6: Arms

Pretty good arms articulations for a HG! Excellent additional spikes on the shoulder :)

Section 7: Action Pose

This kit is with excellent articulation (credit to Bandai) so it is highly pose-able ;) Do enjoy these pictures while I take more with different pose ;)

With "Upgraded Lariat Effect Part" ;)

Section 8: Normal, Titus & Spallow :)

Quick Review

Plastic Quality and Detailing

The plastic quality pretty good so no extra precaution needed... just treat this as other plastic kit ;)

The detailing are very nicely done and it comes close to 99% of the original. This model surpasses the original with all the additional weaponry ;)


Articulations

Articulations are fantastic for a HG! Good work, BANDAI!

• Head/Neck: Normal.
• Shoulder: Excellent! Able to do very handsome posing ;)
• Arm/Elbow: Excellent!
• Wrist: Normal.
• Hand: Normal.
• Waist: Good.
• Skirt Armour: Normal.
• Hip/Tight: Very good!
• Knee: Excellent!
• Ankle: Excellent!

Looks and Feels

The detailing are nicely done and no lost of any detailing. Just be extra careful not to poke your own hand with the VERY SHARP V-Fin ;)

Not much to say as this is actually a better Titus then the original :P This is a very good replacement for the original and I highly recommend this over the original due to the small upgrades ;)


Fin :)
