[HG] Cherudim Gundam Tran-Am mode


Initially were trying to get more Trans-Am but nowadays too many nice kits are coming up! RG RX78 are going release around end of this month~!!! I'm going to get one!! Back to this topic, getting Cherudim TA mode it's simply because it's cheaper than the other 3 XD!! This cost me about RM46 which is affordable for any gunpla collector ^^. Let start's look at this kits! : )


First, take a look on the runners and instruction book. It consists of 4 runners and 2 stickers. I was abit over look at this kits where it only have 4 runners thus I thought it's going to be FAST~! BUT it end up I making this kits about more than what I've thought(I forget the exact time but definitely going to be more than 4 hours ><"). There will be a invincible stand for the bitz.

ON~

OFF~!

Not a long review for this kits because it actually has very less features. I'm not really satisfied with the head especially the eye look so weird but I was impressed with the body part because the [NG]Cherudim gundam were using stickers for the grey part but this kits were a separated parts. ^^ The pistol are easily fall off and the rifle are loose ><". The invincible stand are cool ^^.

My advice to you guys is.......IF you like cherudim then only you buy because it has no special feature for this kits.

[Revoltech Yamaguchi] Series 058 Gurren Lagann Full Drilled version


Same goes to this kits, I have none of the knowledge of this anime but I do know 1 thing about this anime that this anime is very very very exaggerate!!! So this is still the old style packaging of revoltech yamaguchi. I bought this at RM68~


GL said: "who wakes me up?!! OWH~~"

See See See~! I poke you with my drill although I'm a toy now~!!

Extra parts........


For us, it's really hard to understand Japanese because in we don't learn in Malaysia unless you watch it through some show(-_-+)(DIRTY! I'm talking about kamen rider la!). I will help you translate it into 5 words for you to understand. It simply means "Do not eat and swallow!!". I sold my bearbricks in order to buy this XD!!(What a irrational buyer~~) Speaking of this kits, it's well painted and you can also see how Kaiyodo put how much effort on researching good kits such as GL and EVA-01.





You may change the chest parts from without sunglasses to with sunglasses XD!!(WHAT A EXPLAINATION!! This is due to 0 knowledge of this kits. ><").

Conclusion, Revoltech toys?? The toys speak for itself!! ><" I still make some judgement for you to know, this kits is well painted and as you guys know pose-bility is not a problem for revoltech kits ^^.

[Revoltech Yamaguchi] Series 007 OverMan King-Gainer


For your information, I have ZERO/0 knowledge about this toys/figure. XD!! I buy this because it's cheap(RM50++) but it turn out to be good toys and good looks actually. At that time I was very hungry to have 1 toys thus I bought this. So this is a quite old Revoltech so the stand it's abit "cacat"(shorter/lower stand compare to those new kits.) Considering RM50 getting this kits is really worth because old revoltech kits price are shoot up about 40% ><". Initially, it only cost around RM50. ><"


I was capturing the best angle for this kits so this is how take photo ><"

The pelvis were not with the revoltech ball-joint ><"

In a nutshell, if you can get any old revoltech at RM50 then grab it without thinking because they only worth that price XD!! The new ones were having nicer painting and more accessories thus more expensive. FEEL FREE, ASK ME MROE QUESTION BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO WROTE ABOUT THIS KITS ^^

[Dancing life] Raydio dance party volume 2

TADA~~ on 26/6, I went for the RDPV2 so it was cool and nice as well ^^. During this party I learn alot thus~ I'm here to tell you what I've learn^^. Of course meeting those old faces such as Fenny, Kelvin,Andrew, Raymond made me felt warm ^^.


One shirts is RM40, I have 1 XD!!


You must have same thoughts with me "Is that CHOCO??". The answer is NO~ XD

To tell you honestly, I actually cried after the bboy audition because my teamate forgotten my existence ><". During the audition round, I remind my teamate not to be soOO nervous and yet while I doing the routine he forgotten to do some steps and left me behind. This kinda PIST me OFF because such an easy task he can forgot ><". So after the audition, I was sitting and hating myself so much because my competition will always ruin by someone else (WTF!!). So while I was sitting, JD came and comfort as well. Andrew Leong(I have to write the sir name since so many andrew in this world XD!!), he reminds me something where this is about TEAM. A team is not about me but also others thus STOP telling yourself that you're WACK! Oh yah, CHOOSE THE RIGHT TEAMATE if you're not familiar with the other one.

A small cypher~

those house are actually blue and white so it reminds me of.........XD!

Moreover, I also know how FAR klang is~!!! XD Thanks for Jia Jun bringing me to there and scaring me the parking FEES~~ XD!! This competition is fresh because I came to a new place like how last time I went for Bboy Choco workshop in Street Nation studio near Sunway ^^.


RAYMOND(The organizer)

The Famous Crew bboy( Eddie, FamousOne, Kim)

bboy for life!!

So I happened to be chatting with FamousOne and he gave me some thoughts^^. I made a summary for you guys, "As a BBoy, you must have a direction/way to go with.". It simply means that which genre of bboy are you heading towards? Example, if you like born you go with how he feels and how he thinks(I hope it's right ><"). I guess this same goes to other dance such as popping and locking.

The most respect girl for the night~!!

Muahahahhahahah~ The photo of the NIGHT!! Don't jealous me XD!! She is Fenny. I met her on Mad2Max competition. She is in Fresh POP that time. SHE IS VERY SOFT!!(Agree?! If you disagree then leave a comment down there XD!) I met Kelvin Teh too on RDPV2 and he is become more and more and more dope in popping! Andrew Leong too! Wai Lun also! I admire their passion towards dance. Got time I will visit you guys ^^. Surprisingly, Kelvin is bboy too^^.


Random photo~ XD!!

IN CONCLUSION, good event/good experience/good people/good food/good~! ^^ Thanks for Raymond for the GOOD~!

[NG]Gundam Astraea

Speaking of what's NG? No Good?? It's actually Non-grade and scale 1/100. It will be sell during a new anime aired in particular country. I personally like Gundam Astraea for the simple and nice looks. At that point of buying this kits, I didn't know about what's MG and 1/100 differences thus I though they were same but I was so wrong~~ XD!


The Boxart(BTW, it's RM86 ^^)



It consist of 12 runners and an instruction book as well.

Okay, let's talk about building it. Building a NG kits is somehow like building a big HG kits. NG has no inner frame. All it's having is joint and details. I'm enjoy as well while building this. NOTE; for those whom thinking of starting a MG kits, you may try NG first for you to know the scale and little bit more complicated kits ^^

As you can see, this is the complete GUNDAM ASTRAEA~!!!! As I said, it's simple and nice gundam. Small info for you guys, Astraea is Exia prototype that is why it looks similar to EXIA(this would indicate how BANDAI likes to milks us with EXIA!!XD). That's the old GN drive system. As you can see I never panel line it all so it's SUCKS ><".


I put some extra water decals on it(note; it is separated thus you have buy it yourself ^^)

Tuntasnya(conclusion in malay ^^), IF you like to have a MG kits then I would suggest you NG kits or else you going to ruin your first MG kits!!! Back to our topics, I can't really gives any comment besides the simple and nice looks hence have a nice day and thanks for reading as well. ^^

[Revoltech Yamaguchi] Series 067 EVA TEST TYPE-01

Revoltech Eva-01 being the first to be review isn't surprising because in revoltech yamaguchi series itself. EVA-01 is repeated a few times. Since I'm having this thus I'm gonna do a review for you guys about this revoltech. Being repeated itself, it's not only about marketing strategy or buying more kits. It eventually improves from time being ^^.

It's the brand new packaging(For your information, previously was smaller box.), I get this in E@Curve which also known as the Cineyleisure ^^ at SHIOKTOYS.com. It cost around RM100, I can't recall the exact price. Now should be RM80~90 since it's quite old kits because I bought it last year 2009 when I impressed by the GaiKing Open face ver ^^.

Tak a look on the accessories ^^. Oh yah, this was the first batch thus you will be getting a small Assemble-Borg. Assemble-Borg were originally created by Kaiyodo and featuring the revoltech ball-joint system hence it's very playable. (PS; the assemble borg are small and useless because it only have to 2 MOVABLE joint.)
I'm awake~~~(-_-+)

The painting were great, you may see Kaiyodo(The company name) take more effort on EVA-01 compares to others in terms everything such as quality control, painting, articulation and so on. Of course I like the colours and detail as well BUT if you're planning to buy those kits which are well paint and built then I would introduce you ROBOT DAMASHII series which under BANDAI. ByTheWay, you can't really compare them because Revoltech EVA-01 came out first at 2009 and BANDAI came out the EVA-01 later in 2010.

Conclusion:
-If you want to have EVA-01 then go for Robot Damashii.(If you don't know how to search then www.tamashii.jp) The Robot Damashii have more details than this but of course more expensive XD!!

-If you thinking getting a revoltech or you have budget around RM50~100 but don't know what to buy then you might think of getting this for well painted and built kits ^^. ENJOY for reading my blogs.

[HG] OO raiser TRANS-AM mode


I choose OO raiser for the first review of toys simply because it's a good kits in terms of "pose-bility"(ignore my grammar and my broken english or else you gonna suffer alot by yelling infront of your computer ><") and of course my favourite character in OO season 2. At the first time I saw this gundam, I knew it's gonna be tons of variation because it look so~~~~~ incomplete(I'm talking about Gundam OO itself.). If it doesn't attach with the O raiser then the gundam would look so skinny and of course "kosong"XD. I did a few research by checking around the network about this kits then only decides to buy thus it's really worth(It cost RM76 ^^). BUY this if you're HG collector or you want start buying HG. First, we take a look on the runners. They're 9 which I consider it's alot for a HG kits. You will get Trans-Am colour of course XD. For your information, this is how I decide to buy this kits:

i)Designer colour=RM70 (Lighter colour scheme+ 2 GN stickers)
ii)OO-raiser+GN sword 3=RM72 (Normal colour scheme+GN sword 3)
iii)Trans-AM OO raiser=RM76 (Trans-Am colour scheme+GN stage+GN sword 3)

From this listing, I can conclude that buying trans-Am are worth because you would get aGN sword 3 and a Trans-Am colour scheme too. Moreover, getting a GN colour stage. The price are close as well if you're a OO raiser fans then you do not need to think at all just buy whatever is available. For people like me, scaring that "What if I buy this and then they came out with another same kits but more weapons?? THEN I GG LOH~!!!". Of course, it's about pay more to have more features but think about it. Example; IF you are buying OO-raiser GN sword 3 but then later come out with another kits with more features such like the OO raiser 7 S/G(Which is already out)? XD Then you might be building another same kits ><".
Take a look at the colours.........
That's the GN stage ^^

I remember I was at a very tired mood and it's at midnight so I just want to finish AFAP thus this is how it should be look like. I didn't panel line it because I haven't found ways to panel line it red ><". Comparing this kits to the HGUC Gundam Unicorn [Unicorn mode] :
i) OO-raiser obviously skinnier.
ii)Unicorn(Charlie~~~XD) is taller.
iii)Of course the OO-raiser is more flexible than the Unicorn. ^^


This is LOOK~~~~~~~~~~~ The sword are heavy as well and the back pack too but not much complain ^^.


In a NUTSHELL, Good HG kits to start with ^^. Buying HG wasn't my choice but now IT IS because comparing the MG kits with nowadays HG kits were so close but price so much different.

Buying a HG kits instead of MG;
Benefit:
-Easy to build
-cheaper
-more flexible and playable
-more variation

CONS:
-smaller
-more variation means buy more XD!!
-it becomes more and more expensive comapre to old kits( this indicate the quality is becoming better)
