Hi all :) Welcome to my 1st review of the Rabbit Year ;)
Manufacturer: TT HongliScale: None
Grade: "Perfect Grade" SD
Origin: TT Hongli Mech-Hero Three-KingdomPre-Order: RM35 per unit (COD price)Pre-Order Set of 3 (different or same model): RM99 per set (COD price)
Quick ReviewThis 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
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 ;)
HeadThe 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 ;)

Quick ReviewThis 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 :)

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 ;)
HeadThe helmet and accessories are pretty nice, but the head is just a bit odd... maybe some colouring would make it better :p
ChestQuite ordinary... coloring by stickers as to most of Bandai's BB but pretty easy to re-colour it :)
Shoulder and ArmVery well design. I like those :) The elbow can bend 90 degrees so its GOOD!
Waist/TorsoFront and back skirt can move a bit... side skirts can move outward! Nice!
LegQuite good movement :) Leg is longer than usual SD/BB, and the knee can bend almost to 90 degrees ;)
CloakNicely 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
WeaponryThe twin sword :) Pretty neat design and can be held at the back of the cloak.
Liu Bei, Full-Cloak (Defensive) ModeResemble Crossbone Full-Cloak and Master Gundam ;) Stylish!
Side-by-Side Comparison with Bandai's BBThe "Perfect Grade" is a bit taller than ordinary BB :)
Liu Bei, Open-Cloak (Offensive) ModePretty 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-abilityArticulations are very good and can do a variety of pose :)
Posing With Zhang Fei!
Fin ;)
