Mobile Cgue







- OOB looks: 6/10
Mobile Cgue looks nice, but got to be honest and say that the color is somewhat dull. i would defiantly paint this gundum in order for it to look real nice [not that its completely bad some people might like it] but for me i like to have my gundams looking sharp.other than color though i do like the design of this model, has a renaissance/mid-evil knight look too him. 

- Poseability: 4/10
I had a difficult time trying to model my gundam. parts easily fall apart, back is exteremely heavy causing him to fall back a lot limiting your poses, and at times hard to get a real good angle without Moblie Cgue looking stubby.


- Accessories included: 5/10
1 medium sword
1 large gun attached to shield
1 medium sized gun
a sheet of stickers.









- Details: 5/10
I really like how the wings on both sides of his shoulders are able to move and i also really like the wing shaped style of Mobile Cgue's helmet. other than that this model has more of a plain look to him.


- Connection strength: 6/10
  Majority of parts are stable and will not come off unless you really tug on it. yet some parts are very loose such as the legs and arms making it hard to pose.



Total Points: 26/50
Mobile Cgue has a nice design to him and was enjoyable/simple to build [recommended for beginners] other than a few minor technicalities, this gundam has possibility to look good. I would suggest painting and gluing him.

Gundam Exia [Trans am Mode]









 - OOB looks: 9/10

 Very nice and well put together gundam. i love the design, color, and shape of this model. I am not going to be painting this one, he looks amazing straight out of the box i wouldn't want to ruin whats already good. Whats really cool is that the middle of his chest lights up whenever you want it to [i never had a gundam that did this so that automatically makes it on my list of favorites.]

- Poseability: 9/10
Since this is a master grade posing was very easy and smooth moving the ligaments around. i had a lot of fun posing and taking pictures with the Exia, there really is nothing you CANT do with it.

- Accessories included: 8/10
1 Long Blade
1 Short Blade
2 Beam Daggers
2 Beam Sabers
1 Sword that can switch between rifle mode and gun mode
1 Shield with sides that can slide out
1 clear base for displaying the detachable light located in the center of his back
1 red cover part that can be attached to the back when not using the light
2 small figures of Setsuna in standing and sitting poses
foil stickers
dry transfer stickers
MG Gundam Exia original marking stickers for detail.

- Details: 9/10
there is a lot of detail that goes into Gundam Exia. the color differences match well together helping every piece stand out. there are so many tiny details which make up one whole amazing gundam.

- Connection strength: 9/10
extremely stable i have yet to have a piece fall off or become loose. All pieces are snug into place and really no reason to glue at all.

Total Points: 44/50
Gundam Exia Trans Am Mode is all together an extremely good out of the box model. no need for painting, gluing, or any other type of adjustents. This gundam looks amazing on its own.

1/144 HG GPB-X80D Beginning D Gundam review by: feeshawbear









- OOB looks: 9/10
I personally love the look of the Beginning D Gundam. Edges are smoothed all around and body parts are proportional. i especially like how there is a lot of detail that goes into him that does not over power the overall look.

- Poseability: 10/10
Very mold-able and easy to move around. Parts are stable and not easy to fall off[for those of you who don't know your own strength haha(:]

- Accessories included: 8/10
 Beginning D Gundam comes with a lot of extra accessories fun if you like to mix up your poses.
2 different types of guns one large [like in picture above] and the other is smaller dark grey with red triangles.
1 large grey and blue shield
1 hand with 3 large yellow transparent swords attached
1 large sword

- Details: 9/10
TONS of detail goes into this guy but not super bulky where it gets in the way which is one of the reasons why i love it so much.

- Connection strength: 9/10
Holds together very well. I sometimes forget how fragile gundams usually are and get frustrated when trying to pose them and pieces just magically fall off. Yet the Beginning D Gundam can take my abuse and holds together very strong. i have not once had any part of him fall off me. :D

Total Points: 45/50
Being a beginner i have not had a chance to experience building a lot of gundams but this one is for sure one of my favorites so far along side with his twin the 'Beginner J Gundam' which i will review later.
