[HG] Gundam Age - 1 Normal

Sorry for leaving my lovely blog for such a long period. This time I'm bringing you guys something old yet spectacular Gundam that everybody hate and love it, Gundam Age-1 Normal. A new Gundam anime series that everyone complain being too kiddish and has no originality. However, I think this series is pretty good. Reason being it doesn't suck at all (Of course I do have some valid argument to tell ya why people saying it sucks and meanwhile there's still huge chunks of AGE fans out there).

People say: It's too kiddish. It's a series for kids. Look at those drawing. AWHH~~~!!
People say: Oh well, we were once kid and people were saying Gundam is for kids. Now they made it for other market so does that mean those kid suck? ><"

People say: Gundam Age has no originality~! Too much reference to older Gundam series when it comes to storyline and as well as some scene.
People say: Gundam Age bring back some of my memories of older series. The Char's Kick that recreated by Zeheart was awesome.

Now, back to the review. Gundam Age-1 normal are available in another two more form which is the Titus and Spallow. The normal one would be the basic form of the Age-1. It has the basic color of Gundam such as red, blue, yellow and white resemble RX-78 color. The technology on this piece are spectacular for it's price, build and quality.

Gundam AGE-1 is pilot by Flit Asuno. Apparently, he's the one who destined to pilot the Gundam. He is pretty good but he turns out to be a........SPOILER..... Check out the series. As you can tell from the picture, the color separation are done really well this time. It cost 1200yen but it definitely surpass a lot of the older High grade gunpla.

The head is really special because the way to assemble this head are spectacular.

 Hand & Torso

Balance amount of color on his Torso. 

 Accessories & Extras

Two short and long beam saber. Open hand and shield.

 Back of the shield

Gonna give a thumbs up on the shield. Bandai is kind enough to make a grey and white parts for lazy gunpla modeler like me. If you have the High grade Gundam Exia then you know the pain of white sticker.

Conclusion, if you are looking for fresh build on High Grade then this is suitable for any level of gunpla modeler. In fact, lazy gunpla modeler can buy this and touch up with gundam markers like I did for my Age-1 Normal. I build this nearly a year ago and it feels the same when I try to post it. For this gundam, I use none of the sticker instead I'm using marker (metallic green and flat black). 

Just in case you want to know where I got it, Gamers Arena in Times Square. I personally recommend Times Square over E@Curve. They offer wide range of Japanese goodies. Check them out~!
