MG Sinanju Build Review

Bandai’s 1/100 Master Grade Sinanju was my first build of 2009*.

(I haven’t proofed this article, so suck it)

From a build quality this kid if fucking fantastic. Not only does it look great, but it’s a big sucker, considerably taller than most MG Gundams. Much to my surprise this kit lacks pollycap joints. While I hated that on my Crossbone the mechanics here are great. The joints are innovative and make for lots of movement. The only issue here is that the shield can be a bit heavy (at least with the beam saber things attached) than the arm can support. If it’s clipped on the forearm it has a tendency to pop off all to easily or slowly cause the arm to dip down. read more

Char Aznable Action Base

If you’re as impatient as me you often brush things by in the store quickly, not often gathering all the details.

One such item for me was the Char Aznable theme’s action base for 1/1444 & 1/100 scale kits. The bag art contains pictures of the stand covered with Zeonic & Char markings. For a while I thought, “that’s nice, shame I don’t have any of Char’s Gunpla or it would be a good fit” moving on to the clear action bases instead. What use would a Char detailed stand for my RX-87-2?

MG Ball, Vr. Ka

Master Grade for only $15? Well, it is just a Ball…

The Ball is probably the most under appreciated suit in Gundam. Cannon fodder way before the arrival of the GM. It’s single time to shine was that those brief scenes early on in the beginning 08th MS Team.

You can get a MG Ball for less than $15 and it shows. Not due to the build quality but because it’s such a small kit. At least a third of the instruction manual is nothing but pictures and information about the Ball. Of course none of it I can read, but it sure looks nice! read more
