Anakin Skyobiliviator well in the original mobile suit Gundam series, Char Aznable is truly Casval Deikun, son of Zeon Deikun who is hunting the Zabi family who murdered his father to take power and control the principality. That is why it is so ironic

This kit is absolutely amazing. I just finished building mine, took about 10ish hours. So worth it. Its enormous and Just looks so good. Also, if you don't want him to do the splits, put him on any sub-grippy surface. A mouse pad or paper or things like that work great.

Had mine in the backlog for months after I got it in march/april this year. Finally built it and I adore it. Some minor issues where some of the panels on the back of the legs don't line up perfectly but overall this was an AMAZING build. Also comparing it to the RG I built a couple of months ago I much prefer the MG but both kits are great in their own respect. I just prefer the size, proportions, stickers, and accessories on the MG.
@DrossProwler2 жыл бұрын
@@carenthusiast9255 Both of my kits are still holding up fantastic, even after a moderate amount of handling. I do think the MG will be more susceptible to sagging/looseness since it's so much bigger and heavier though, so caution is advised.

Great review as usual. However as an FYI there are two things you forgot to mention. First there is a slot in the center of the axe that allows you to put a beam saber blade in it. Second you can hook up the Sinanju's bazooka to the long rifle. For me that's the best weapon to have displayed on this is the axe with the beam in the center. Had a ton of difficulty getting mine to hold the shotgun and the long rifle. It also can go onto an action base but it will topple over unless you connect three of the square pieces to the octagonal part of the action base.

Was finally able to ge this Absolute Unit last year. He's a BIG BOI and i really enjoyed the build. I mainly got him to go with the Ver KA Nu i got as one of my first Gunpla kits but i like the Sazabi more despite his hands holding his guns in a weird way.

Absolutely love this kit but those funnels were definitely a pain. I wish the bulb at the end of the hands was rounded as opposed to flattened on the ends. Jabman025 you'll probably never see this but I lol'd when your model did the splits, my Sazabi is actually standing with his legs more than shoulder width apart with a slight front to back offset. Admittedly the long rifle extended parallel to the ground might be helping with that. That's all for me dude, thanks for the review.

Ok, so I really like this kit, it is definitely one of the best master grades in my opinion. I us my kits for stop motion and I would like to buy this one for this one, in terms of legs do think I could make it walk or would the size of the legs not look good for walking. In the anime he is usually floating in Space so I don't think the model would be conclusive for action and walking.

You just made my day Jabman, but I do have some questions: 1) The manual says that you can connect the Sinanju's bazooka into the long rifle to make some ridiculous weapon. Do you think that hands could handle such a configuration if you held the trigger with one hand and the barrel with the other? 2) Do you think the silver (and the transformation) would look better if you spray painted it silver (IE correcting the shit gold on SF with spray paint gold) parts? 3) You said this was the best kit in terms of looks. How does it match up to other Ver Ka's in terms of mobility/playability? Like the Sinanju and Nu gundam ver ka in particular? 4) If we were to put it on an action base, how much would the possibility improve in your opinion? What could you do on a base that you couldn't do on the ground? Anyway, thanks for this. Neither Prime92 or rrobert184 have their reviews for this beast up, so to hear a quick, clean, down to the point judgement was a real treat. I look forward to picking up my own in the future when it's good enough to paint outside. In the meantime I'll have to make some extra space for when I've got two Sazabi's.
@roccondil510 жыл бұрын
Based on my experience with the kit, here's my answers: 1) There's really no problem doing just that 2) The silver looks very very good even with no paint, and it looks much better than SF shitty gold 3) I think it's superior to those kits in pretty much every aspect, except for the hip mobility when compared to the sinanju. So far I havent had any of the looseness issues that plague my Nu ver Ka as well 4) I've put mine on the AB1 with no problems, and it improves the look by freeing up the legs for more dynamic posing. All the joints are sturdy enough to help with pretty much any pose. Knees bend almost a full 180º, shoulders and arms are about the same as the Nu or the RX-78-2 3.0 for mobility, full waist rotation, the works. The only limit are the hips, but that's only an issue if you want to pose it doing the splits. The poses you can get with the transformation on the AB1 also look excellent. Hope this helps^^
@jabman02510 жыл бұрын
1. I doubt it would be an issue, it would still be a little awkward posing it because of the wrist. 2. The silver is great as is, I just don't care for the look, personal opinion. 3. Sinanju and Nu are more posable and have a better range of movement, neither however have the detail that this kit has. 4. Putting this kit in the air would be liking putting the O in the air, sure it could be done, but honestly its so damn heavy it would never hold a decent pose or at least for very long.

Isn't that transformation simply because the Nu Gundam Ver. Ka was given one, due to the Psycho frame? I was pretty certain they said in Char's Counterattack that both Sazabi and Nu were sporting the Psycho frame technology. I guess they decided that since Unicorn transformed to expose its psycho frame, they needed to retcon that feature into the Gundam that started the Psyco frame trend, and its nemesis like-wise.
