MG Skygrasper (Dragon Momoko) - Part 1

Hi hi :) I've been blogging quite often the last few weeks... hopefully my schedule allows me to keep this up :P

This round would be part 1 of Dragon Momoko's MG Skygrasper with Aile Striker.

Manufacturer: Dragon Momoko
Scale: 1/100
Grade: MG
Series: Gundam SEED
Price: RM80 - RM90

For this pack, I will separate into multiple parts, as there is the Skygrasper, Aile Striker, 2 action stands, and some hands (manipulators). Let's start with the Skygrasper ;)


Section 1: Runners

Excellent parts separation, and quite good plastic quality :)

As similar to the earlier Sword Strike and Launcher Strike, Dragon Momoko included a little surprises... This kit comes with 3 copies of runner D1 for OOB straight builders like me... there is the original Blue colored, and a Red and Green for option.

Section 2: The Build

Well, this is not a mecha so there's no feet, arms, body, head and whatnot :P

To be honest, I am amazed with the parts separation and detailing.

Since there is no Skygrasper ever made in MG by Bandai, so I went lookup the RG and PG Skygrasper manual, and have confirmed that this is based on RG :)

Section 3: Completed Model

I am very happy with this so far :)

Section 4: Connectors

This kit also come with various connectors for Launcher and Sword Striker pack; it can also connect with Dragon Momoko's MG Akatsuki's Oowashi and Shiranui pack, as well as the Strike Rouge Ootori pack :)

Quick Review

Excellent parts separation, fantastic detailing, good plastic quality.

This is good for me, and I highly recommend this model, at this stage :P


Till we meet again :)

HGBF Super Fumina (Bandai)

Hi guys :) I'm back again with Super Fumina :P

Manufacturer: Bandai
Scale: 1/144
Grade: HGBF
Series: Gundam Build Fighter Try
Price: 1,800 Yen

Section 1: Runners

This is Bandai, so no complain :) Basically this is newly molded, except the cannons (runner E1) which taken directly from GM Cardigan.

Section 2: Legs

Something new for HG... building Gundam Girl :P Ankle articulation is somewhat limited tho. I painted the tight with some marker but the outcome is pretty bad :(

Section 3: Waist

Pretty nicely done, with the soft (rubber) skirt :)

Section 4: Body

Nice body :P

Section 5: Head

Nicely done too :) I especially like the clear transparent parts on the eyes ;)

Section 6: Arms

Pretty nice build and flexible arms :)

Section 7: Backpack

Most of them are taken directly from GM Cardigan :P

Section 8: Weapons & Effects

Well, the GM beam machine gun, and the shield/thrusters effect :)

Section 9: Photo Ops

Section 10: Size Comparison

Super Fumina could practically be the tallest HGBF so far... see its height compare with Build Burning...

Quick Review

Plastic Quality and Detailing

This is Bandai's, so no issue at all :)


Articulations

Head/Neck: Good
Shoulders: Excellent
Arms/Elbow: Excellent
Waist: Good
Skirt Armor: Good
Hip/Tight: Good
Knee: Good
Ankle: OK
Feet: OK

This model comes with a stand, so it pretty posable. Some people dislike this model, but I quite like this Super Fumina :)



Till we meet again ;)
