SD Gundam Review: BB Sangokuden #18 Shin Ryuso Ryubi

Good Evening everyone!

If haven't seen my previous review, click here:

https://gunmod88.blogspot.com/2017/10/sd-gundam-review-bb-sangokuden-19-zhang.html

Moving on! 

I present to you the kindhearted virtuous leader of the Shu army, Liu Bei!

He' the main character of the show Brave Battle warriors. He's a simple man who values respect and kindness more than anything. Liu Bei is widely known as an ideal benevolent, humane ruler who cared for his people and selected good advisers for his government.

He also shows skills in combat and was good enough to get the loyalty of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, his oath brothers. 

Here he is in the Dynasty Warriors series. He's depicted a bit younger here unlike in previous games where he looks a little older.

On with the review!

You can see Cao Cao at the back.. Maybe plotting something haha!

Moving on... I present to you another character from the Sangokuden series, Zhang Fei! He fought along side Guan Yu and Liu Bei to rid the land of various corrupt overlords. 

He is one of the founders of the Shu Army and a blood brother to Liu Bei and Guan Yu. Unlike his 2 brothers, Zhang Fei is a very carefree happy go lucky guy.

The three met by coincidence and they believe that it was destiny that brought them together, being impressed by Liu Beis virtues, he and Guan Yu swore an oath that they will support him no matter what. 

He usually laughs at the face of battle because he enjoys the feeling especially when he's challenged. Think of him as Lu Bu but more friendly haha (Lu Bu is the demonic super warrior in their time.)

Here he is in the Dynasty Warriors series.

I got carried away with the history lesson hahaha! On with the review!

SD Gundam Review: BB Sangokuden #20 Shin Okasu Kanu

Good evening guys!

As promised, here's a new review! Also, I wanna show my hand painting skills :D

The Sangokuden line are characters based on the famous Three Kingdoms saga from china. I love the history of this epic tale. I memorized all the officers of each faction and replayed the game so much.

It's so famous a game was made after it; Dynasty Warriors. As you've guessed it, I too play that game and DW 5 is my favorite.

Anyway, I don't know about the translations of his name but I know him as Guan Yu. He is one of the High rank officers of the Shu Army (they're the good guys.) And made a blood oath to their Leader Liu Bei making him a blood brother which basically means that he's family.

He's called the "God of War" because of his overpowering strength and stamina. here he is in other representations:

You've probably seen him in some antique stores or Chinese venues. He's the guy with the long beard and uses a dragon spear his signature weapon.

Anyway, you didn't come here for a history lesson so on with the review!

SD Gundam Review: BB Sangokuden Guo Jia

Hey Guys! Long time no post.

I just got back from malaysia from my internship. Can't believe that it's finally over :(
I need to look for a job now so I can have more funds to support this awesome hobby haha!

Check out what I got from my training:

Awesome right? 

Anyway.......

I've been dying to build gunpla :)) I have 2 pending kits now that this one is done.. What's the other one besides the overdue MG Freedom you say? well, it's a secret hahaha!

So yeah, from my previous post, this kit was given to me as a bday present from a good friend of mine :) She knows how much I miss gunpla and being surrounded by cheap gunpla's in malaysia kills me because I can't buy them D:

I was really surprised that she bought one for me. 

I don't know the story of this guy the name "Guo Jia" is familiiar... I think he's one of the strategist of Wei before Sima Yi appeared... You can research that yourself haha 

What I do know is that it's modeled after the Gundam Virsago from After War: Gundam X. 

So let's start with the review :D

SD Gundam Review: BB Sangokuden Oath set

Good evening everyone!

Today I present you the BB Sangokuden Oath set. This set contains Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang fei in clear color. It's very beautiful in person, the pictures somewhat made them look metallic XD

For those who don't know, BB Sangokuden is a series based on the Chinese epic "Romance of The Three Kingdoms". To sum it up, China was divided into three kingdoms: Shu, Wu and Wei. Each Kingdom is ruled by an emperor namely: Liu Bei, Sun Jian (Technically his son Sun Ce started the army) and Cao Cao respectively. 

What's great about this series is that they tell you how the Three Kingdom war unfolded using gundams XD It's quite a nice combination if you ask me. Each character is modeled after a specific gundam, mostly the main characters in a series.

It's called the oath set because this represents the time when the three individuals: Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhan Fei made an oath to each other that they will only die by each others side. If you wanna find out more, there's a lot in the internet that have accurate data concerning the Three Kingdom War. If reading is not your thing, just play any Dynasty Warriors game hahaha!! They're pretty accurate in re-telling the said epic story.

For this review, I'm only gonna show how I build Liu Bei because it's pretty redundant if I showed it to you three times. They all have the same body construction, they just differ in detail, armor and weapons.

on with the review!

Sneak peek review: BB Sangokuden Oath set

Good afternoon guys :D

As stated from my previous post, I'm pretty much going crazy over SD kits XD I got this today, as usual, it's always a debate what to get whenever I enter the store! I chose this over the HG AGE-2, that's how crazy I am for SD kits hahaha!!

But this is not just any SD kit, it's a BB sangokuden set, the "Oath set" to be exact. It's the clear versions of Liu bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's first forms in the series. They don't have upgrades yet, so they only have basic armor and stuff. 

It's called the oath set because this is the time when these three individuals made an oath to die by each others side. Read up on the Three kingdoms, it's pretty epic :)

I was surprised how cheap this is considering that it's clear version set with 3 characters. Usually, the clear kits cost more than p1k and that only uncludes 2 characters. I got this for a really cheap price since I have a membership discount already :3 Permanent 10% discount all the way XD

I'll probably build Liu Bei first :3 Stay tuned!
