Yes, finally!
I've got my first Gundam today!!!
The SD RX-78-2 30th Anniversary model
After spending a few hours in hobby co with Tofu, i decided to resist from buying the Avalanche Exia, and to get it shipped from japan instead. After that, we went to capital square and i chose to get the sd ^^
Anyways, heres a few pics for starters.
Box Art
Scans of the manual
Also managed to pick up a pair of these at hobbyco for 12bux
Has a pair of dragons moulded onto the handles
Runners
Head consists of 6 pieces and a polycap
Upper torso
Again, 6 pieces but with 3 polycaps
More to come SOON
AND GUESS WHATS ARRIVED IN THE MAIL TODAY???? OO RAISER COMMING UP SOON!!!!!
EDIT:
Ok so picking up where i left off
Bottom half of the torso.
Im quite glad that bandai was nice enough to mould the yellow onto separate pieces instead of needing to paint on
After having to deal with the SD Exia's horrible arms, im quite glad to go back to these older designs with a elbow joint
The feet. Very standard for SDs like this. Would require alot of paint as usual.
Weapons...a very standard set. Beam rifle, beam saber, and shield. Single colour mould for the shield. Its a SD afterall, so cant complain too much though it would have been better if they moulded in white instead of grey. Its nice how the scope comes in a separate piece, and can swivel when assembled.
And the final thing put together.
For such a standard SD, theres nothing particularly special about posing abilities. None the less, it still is a RX78, and that itself is good enough ^^
And as usual, with most of bandai's sd, the majority of the polycaps are unused, and would be added to the pile of spares.
Well, now i guess i'll need to start on painting when i have more time.
Other works soon to come up would be the SD 00 raiser, along with the 1:144 HG, which would be cannibalised by the sd for its superior accessories.
