Plastic kit review: HGUC AMX 004 Qubeley

ello again guys! yep, I`m on fire to write something in my abandoned blog ^^V

Another kit review from Zeta gundam,  Zeta Gundam is one of my fav series, this kit well actually a pilot ^^ is my all time character fav beside several bad guy character on this series, Haman Karn-sama m(_ _)m
she`s trully a good character between any woman character in this series, an independent woman, ambitious and a charming leader with a beautiful pink hair <3

She`s a leader of Axis a former Republic of Zeon in Gryps war era, got a bad*ss Mobile Suit known as Qubeley

this kit review is based on HGUC AMX 004 Qubeley

well, since I found this kit on a pile of other kits, it came with not so-good condition with the box, but lucky me, the kit at the inside of the box looks like in a good condition. At the bottom left side of the box, I can see that this kit was produced in 1999

inside the box you can find a manual books and a runner, joint, sticker, manual book is still in good condition, with history of the mobile suit in japanese, assembling manual and several photo of the kit

Qubeley is one of a MS that has a unique looks, it has a non-robotic looks, like some of a fantasy creature with white body 

assembling the upper body part, you can see a purple based body with a pink accent on it, there`s a grey pipe that attached from shoulder to the chest. The neck joint for the head part had a wide movement range since the head part also have a unique shape

this is the head part, I love the design, sticker is used to makes the eyes part as another hg kit, but the eyes is so diffrent with the other MS design, no robotic looks, non of mono eye just like the other MS from Zeon, it came with a pair of eyes just like a human, with a cocky gaze

 unique head part with a curve shape on it

this is the looks of the legs, with a moveable knee guard

this kit came with a surprisingly detail on it like this concealed beam saber on his arm 

The Qubeley featured a set of wing binders on its shoulders to assist in AMBAC (Active Mass Balance Auto Control), granting phenomenal mobility. Though appearing like a set of two, the wing binders are actually four independently moving sections with two mounted on each shoulder, and Bandai nailed it perfectly with this hg kit. It also came with four diffrent part at the front and the back side of wing binders

the only thing that distrupted this kit, was the sticker, maybe cause the age of this kit, the sticker can`t stuck perfectly on the kit, several sticker gone missing because it cracked from the kit :(

but despite the sticker stuff this kit came with a good quality, a perfect color scheme, poseable kit and comes with a worthy price

pair of beam saber 

with ten funnel that can attach to the back skirt

ok guys, this is a good choice for the people who loved the Zeta series specially for Haman fans, see ya at my next post ^^V

"It will be a mistake to underestimate the Qubeley!"

Plastic kit review: HGUC MSZ 006 ZETA GUNDAM

ello guys! long time no see ^^
well, many things happen in my life recently, don`t have many time to write something in this green blog, but rather to makes this blog being a ghost town TADAAA! I came with a review and several diorama tutorial for all of you

first i bought a new kit, well not much new cause this thing is an item from a long time production HGUC Zeta Gundam
I bought this thing actually cause my The 0 was kinda lonely at the shelf, his big fat body looks very odd and empty at that shelf ^^
well, he needs his immortal rival, The flawles mobile suit ever build...Zeta Gundam

The package is arrived at noon, I was happy at that time, this is my favorite kit when I was a kid, red blue bad*ss mobile suit with an emo pilot boy with unlucky destiny

hardly believe that this kit is came from 1999, mint in plastic wrap, in a good condition and a superb color

and different from the other kit, the manual book is wrapped in a plastic sheet, a painted build photo cover from the kit with a black background

the wave rider mode is become my first interest in this kit, do this kit can actually transform? the answer is yes, it can transform to wave rider mode, but, it can`t barely transform from mobile suit mode to wave rider mode just like a master grade version, we need to separate each part and re-assemble it to a new part as a main holder of the wave rider mode, well...kinda s*cks :(

but chill out, this one is not too bad, cause this kit actually came with several weapon that we can used it as an attachment to the wave rider, the weapon included a beam rifle and a big blue bad*ss bazooka

so, the question is, where the rest of the suit gone? this is the answer, since it seperated from the other part that makes a wave rider mode, this part is stand alone. You can reused it if you need to transform the kit into a mobile suit mode

and this is the look of the mobile suit mode, perfect proportion came with a good color, still looks good if you let it plain and don`t want to paint it

And looks like The 0 had a companion now, his trully enemy AEUG Mobile Suit MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam

BEHOLD THE 0!!!

ps: this picture is hint for my next diorama project ;)

Plastic Model Kit Review HGUC PMX 003 (THE O)

Jumpa kembali
Review kali ini adalah salah satu plamo Bandai yang baru saja saya beli beberapa waktu lalu
HG UCPMX 003 (The 0).
Sebelum ke review ada baiknya kita bahas sejarah dari plamo ini

The 0 adalah salah satu mobile suit yang muncul di serial anime Zeta Gundam. MS ini di piloti oleh Paptimus Scirocco seorang member dari Federation's Jupiter Fleet.



walaupun berseberangan paham dengan karakter-karakter protagonis di Zeta, Scirocco menjadi salah satu idola saya, tidak saja karena di berkahi kemampuan mendesain mobile suit, pilot yang mempunyai skill cukup tinggi dan seorang Newtype, Scirocco juga dikenal memiliki kharisma yang mampu memanipulasi orang-orang di sekelilingnya terutama para wanita. Hmm....what a dude ^^

The 0 sendiri ada sebuah MS yang unik, hanya di lengkapi 4 beam saber dan 1 beam rifle. Namun yang membuatnya istimewa adalah tambahan tangan ekstra di bagian skirt MS ini
dan 1 lagi yang membuatnya spesial dimana MS ini dilengkapi dengan bio sensor yang memiliki fungsi seperti psycommu sebuah sistem yang memungkinkan Scirocco berinterface dengan MS ini. Walau terlihat "gendut" MS ini dapat bergerak dengan baik di darat maupun udara karena dilengkapi thruster yang banyak di sekeliling tubuhnya sehingga MS ini mampu bermanuver walau berada dalam kecepatan yang tinggi



Kit yang saya beli ini di produksi tahun 2002, WAW!!! Sudah 10 tahun ternyata ^^

kit The 0 ini adalah salah satu mobile suit yang punya bentuk unik namun keren, kit ini muncul di serial Gundam Zeta, dan memang gundam Zeta di kenal juga sebagai salah satu Gundam yang memiliki disain mobile suit yang aneh-aneh salah satunya The 0 ini, namun bentuknya yang unik menggoda saya untuk membeli kit ini dan dikarenakan juga saya mengidolai Paptimus Scirocco sang pilot jadi sayang rasanya melewatkan kit yang satu ini



Bandai merilis kit The 0 dalam beberapa varian, SD, HG dan MG, kit yang saya beli adalah HG. Box terlihat mencolok dengan warna dominan hitam. Terdapat ilustrasi mobile suitnya di depan box
Sayangnya saya kelupaan foto bagian dalam box termasuk runner dan manual, sudah tidak sabar untuk merakitnya soalnya ^^
Ketika pertama melihat isinya saya takjub. Setelah 10 tahun di dalam plastik pembungkus, warna plastik masih sangat bagus dan terang
Snap fit cukup mulus, tipikal kit buatan Bandai, namun bagian “selang” merah di kaki sedikit janggal, tidak ada dudukan buat salah satu ujung selang ini, sehingga selang di bagian kaki hanya menggantung saja. Yang menarik dari kit ini adalah bagian kakinya yang meiliki inner frame



Hal lain yang cukup menarik dari kit ini adalah adanya tambahan tangan di bagian skirt The 0, tidak heran karena mengikuti bentuk di serialnya. Namun untuk kit sekelas HG, penambahan tangan ekstra yang bisa di sembunyikan di sela-sela skirt nya ini cukup memberi nilai plus tersendiri, tangan ini juga mempunya sendi yang bisa membuatnya berputar 360 derajat





Persenjataan di kit ini tergolong tidak banyak, mengikuti serial animenya, ada 4 beam saber (2 buah untuk tangan ekstra) yang nilai plusnya bisa di simpan di salah satu skirt di kiri dan kanan kit
Dan beam rifle yang nilai plusnya punya selang berwarna kuning yang terpisah (biasanya kit HG ditail seperti ini build in)

Warna kit kuning pucat, sesuai dengan serialnya. Ada beberapa panel di sekitar kit dan line-line halus untuk di lining

Namun ada beberapa kekurangan yang terdapat di kit ini
Sendi di bagian skirt depan sayangnya sedikit letoy, semoga kasusnya tidak terjadi di semua kit dan kit ini tergolong miskin stiker, hanya ada 1 stiker tempel yang berisi bagian untuk mata dan part merah di kaki, tanpa ada stiker hijau untuk beberapa panel yang ada di bagian tubuh kit ini, jadi alternatifnya kita harus melakukan pengecatan agar mendapatkan bentuk yang menyerupai art di box nya



Overall kit ini cukup bagus, dengan detail dan sendi yang cukup banyak, walau gerakannya terbatas namun masih bisa melakukan banyak pose seperti di serialnya. A must buy plamo kit, khususnya penggemar Zeta Gundam, enough with this revew, see you in the next review guys! Keep modelling ^^v
