Gundam Review: HGUC 1/144 RX-78-2 Revive

Good Evening guys!

If you've been following me on instagram or twitter, you'll know how awesome this kit I'm gonna review.

Does it even need an introduction? Well, probably, since not everyone who builds gunpla is familiar with the history or lore associated with it.

Long story short, this guy is the Grand Daddy Gundam, the white devil, the big kahuna, the one where most gundams in the UC timeline are based on.

Also, this is from Bandai's recent HG releases with the tagline "Revive" They pretty much do something every 5th and 10th anniversary of the series. 

This marks Bandai's 35th anniversary in the industry and as usual they release kits to associate this feat. The Revive line, as the name implies, upgrades some kits to today's standards, majority of the kits I saw are from the original MSG and Zeta series then they jumped to Seed/Destiny for some reason.

Anyway, let's discuss more in the review!

Gundam Review: HGUC 1/144 RX-78-2 Ver. G30th

Good afternoon guys!

So I said in my previous post that my HGUC 1/144 Unicorn Gundam is my last kit in the UC era... Well.... I lied XD

This is technically my first UC kit and my first RX-78-2 gundam that I got in my gunpla hobby run. I got him because the box art got my attention and also because I didn't  know there was an older HGUC variant.

My first HGUC kit and my 3rd oldest kit in my collection, it comes after my NG 1/144 Deathscythe Gundam and HG 1/144 Strike Noir Gundam.

After I built my Strike Noir, I can't help myself but to look for another kit I can build. Early gunpla builders can relate when you're just new into the hobby and the "poison" slowly consumes you.. LOL!

It's a fun hobby don't get me wrong that's why I can't contain myself from buying new kits even if I just built one.

Anyway, let's get on with the review!

Gundam Review: MG 1/100 RX-78-2 Gundam ver. 2.0

Good Afternoon guys!

I should've done this a long time ago. 

I present to you the Grand daddy Gundam, all in its Master Grade glory. This is the 2.0 version which for me is one of the best kits Bandai has ever produce until the 3.0 version came out.

It's kinda weird to be into gunpla and not have any form of the RX-78. It's like a mandatory build for anybody who's into this hobby.

It doesn't matter what scale it is, it's THE Grand daddy Gundam, the one what started it all.

I build this prior to this blog but I managed to take pictures of the assembly because I really love this kit LOL.

Anyway, Let's start the review!

Hey Guys!!

I present the original Daddy Gundam in High Grade goodness. The white devil of the one year war, the original Gundam piloted by none other than Amuro Ray \m/

Box art:

One of the reasons why I love the UC era is no matter how simple the mecha designs are, they are still one of the best designs I've seen compared to the modern ones. They look more realistic.

Gundam Review: HG 1/144 Rx-93 Nu Gundam with Heavy weapon system

Hey guys!

Here's another re-review post. If you don't know what I'm talking about, click here: http://gunmod88.blogspot.com/2013/02/heres-thought.html

 I present to you my  HG 1/144 Rx-93 Nu Gundam with Heavy weapon system. My dad bought it for me while he was in Hong Kong. He said that the store he was checking out had a huge sale event and I immediately asked him to look for certain model kits.. The prices were really tempting, but I couldn't asked my dad to by them all XD It's too much and the airport fees might be unreasonable XD 

So yeah, he got this and another kit.. But let's talk about that next time haha!!

Nu gundam, Amuro Ray's final gundam unless you read the manga and consider the Hi-Nu as his final suit. Anyway, Nu gundam is one of the icons in Gundam History. 

He has a simple design be still delivers as one of the most memorable suits in history. I use him a lot in the PS1 game Char's Counterattack hahaha!! Fin Funnel spam :3

This comes with the Heavy Weapon System, so technically you can assemble him in 2 ways, ain't that a treat :D 

Anyway, let's get on with the review.

Box art:

A big box is expected from a huge mobile suit, same size as Sazabi's box. Awesome Artwork, showing how badass the Nu Gundam is with his extra stuff.
