Just in time for Zeta Gundam's 30th anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI quite like the look of it, though I do hope it is compatible with the parts to make the Super Gundam, as well as the Build Mk II. If that is just plastic and not painted, 3 colors on the bazooka is pretty nice, definitely something the old kit would have envied.
ReplyDeleteMy only complaint is that the legs look a tad too thick. I don't like skinny mobile suits but trimming the "calf muscles" just a little would have made the proportions better.
ReplyDeleteWhat does it mean by 'REVIVE?'
ReplyDeleteCertain kits get "remastered" to match the new standards for model kits today. Basically, these kits get upgraded from their original versions. You'll see better proportions, greater articulation, etc.
DeleteIf buy the old Super Gundam for the G-defenser... There better not be a P-Bandai REVIVED version of it!
ReplyDeleteHaving owned the old kit, the biggest most welcome update in the REVIVE version for me is the legs. The old kit have the leg armor join together at the middle, which means the seam line is so noticeable from the front. Removing the seam line is also really tricky because there are parts that cannot be taken off before you glue the parts then sand it down, and you have to mask these parts out when painting. This flaw even extend to the HG Build Gundam Mk.II version.
ReplyDeletethey should make a devil gundam revive, imho...
