no3Ljm Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Their Aile Mecha Warrior is a superb figure. But the fig is so huge. I wish they will also consider making a proper Perfect Strike backpack to attach those Sword and Launcher Parts. I know it can be done on the existing Aile pack but my copy won't. Don't want to force nor risk trying it coz I might break it. And wish they would make Aegis as well. It's the other mecha that I will buy in that scale.

Finish is great, it's super poseable and the joints are crazy tight. The only thing that I've noticed that I don't really fancy are the plastic covers for the thrusters but they are removable. Also, the manual is non existent... I'd definitely recommend it if you are on the fence. Also, it's about 11 inches tall to the tip of the antenna and quite hefty. Jesus....I think that this pic is the best I've seen yet at very least in terms of capturing the color. Bit the bullet and ordered my first 1/72 with that barbatos dragon looking thing. Fingers crossed the quality is up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F360 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I chicken out on on trying to mod the Aile pack too . I hope that they will do a Sky grassper eventually. They already released all the packs . Aegis is a must buy for me too if they make it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to return the favor for all your photos and reviews that have me buying left and right Looking forward to your thoughts on the White Dragon. I'm still on the fence with that one but the transformation looks cool.

I think it still looks like a good figure but I'm not quite as hyped as I was before. Odd they changed the head. The original one didn't even look like a gundam.

killatopak Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Is the MB Sazabi fully painted? the review I have seen makes it look like only some parts are painted while mostly are still bare plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just a lot of real estate for a one off... With the dragon guy though I figured if it doesn't look right as a mobile suit on display I've got a freaking huge mecha dragon to display instead, lmao.

I'm unsure if the all of the red surfaces are painted, at the very least it's probably top coated with a semi-matte top coat. There is a ton of detailed paint on this guy and the 1/2 of him that I have looks good in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampo-printing is good, but could be a little sharper. Paint is crisp and well-applied. Plastic quality feels good, not too thin, not overly thick. LED works just fine. Hopefully, when I get part 2 and put him all together he'll be great. Just asking because I bought from show-z that shipped with two tracking numbers, does it come in two different packages?

Yeah , normally for 3rd party or ko stuff , I will wait for normal reviews before making purchase. Unless it’s Moshow ,because their QC is pretty consistent. MC is normally pretty good too.

It's been good, no chipping yet. It's just my guess, but i think the plastic is molded in blue and then top-coated. I take that back, looks like it's painted. You can tell from the butt thrusters on mine that the blue didn't get applied evenly and some silver is showing. Everything else looks ok though. Also, few things I noticed when trying to do some poses: The Sinanju style sleeves get in the way sometimes with holding some weapons like the bazooka. I removed them for some poses. Fingers are too thick to fit through the handle of the grenade launchers. Light bleed from the eye led through the forehead.

I still think it's so cool that the LED switch for the mono-eye is the head fin and how it replicates the anime. Touches like that always make me giddy.

Archer Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 This is probably a very dumb (and overly concerned) question, but what kind of paints do these third-parties use? I'm concerned about lead paints being used (which is something that's obviously not a concern with Bandai products). Again, apologies if this is dumb, but I'm not well educated on the subject....

Since it’s coming from China, I will not rule out that they’re not using. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/325473878_Lead-based_paint_in_children's_toys_sold_on_China's_major_online_shopping_platforms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
