RG 1/144 Wing Zero Gundam ver. EW

I'll be going to be busy this coming week, so before I get busy.. i decided to make a review on the
new release in RG line... The Rg 1/144 Wing Zero Gundam Ver. EW...
But I have to apologize though...since I lost my files for the plates and decals...
so I have to start on the parts already :P

PLATES and DECALS (which I dont have the pics)

well, you have a two tones of white, two tones of blue, a yellow, red, and gray...
if Im not mistaken, you will get a total of 10 or 9 plates...

FEET and LEGS

the legs can bend at two joins.. great part separation. the feet is connected at two hinges.. so it can go forward, backward and side to side, the toes can also bend. The foot armor can go up and down. The legs can also shortened, it is necessary for the atmosphere entry of WZC..






WAIST and SKIRTS

Great color separation on waist section. all the skirts can move independently. great details 






BODY

I love the jewel on the chest. it is a clear plastic with a metallic green sticker at the back.. it really does bring an effect. The cockpit can also be opened, but there is no pilot inside (just like the other RG's). The machine guns can also be opened which I will show you as read along. Great details and color separation.






ARMS 

The arms can be bend at two point, and the hands are connected in a ball joints. the blue armor on the hands is connect by a sliding it inward on the arm, so sometimes when you do posing, it tends to move... yet it is solid. great articulation :)
For hands, you will get a pair of closed fist, pair of trigger-finger hands, pair of open hands, and a pair of RG hands...


WINGS

Now the wings is the largest part of this kit...  the side wings can be extended at two parts, all the feathers are in a ball joints. the back wing can only be extended at one part. Both have a great details.





 Connecting all the parts...



...but before that...

SHOULDERS and HEAD

The shoulders can be folded downward... its a little loose but it also stays well... great color separation and details.

The head... well its awesome... but for may personal view... it looks like a valkyrie to me... :P










MS
I love this kit... specially when all the wings is spread out! The wing gives an effect of how godly strong this MS... It stands out so much you will probably wont recognize that this kit is much smaller compare to other MS...





WEAPONS...
For weapons... well it only has two beam sabers and two buster riffles... Well, you know that when the Zero aims at you with the buster riffle, you know its your doom...


...oh! and it also has a gutling gun on his shoulder














OVER ALL...
well, for me it has great articulation and details... Even being a small MS, the large wings on its back compensate for it...





but even though it has a two tone effect, you can hardly recognize.... I only realize it has two tones of blue when I closely look at it...
This were the decals makes its use... applying the decals makes it more detailed and more RG-ish...

But on top of that.. If you love Wing kits... this is one of the kits you dont want to miss..



Thats it for now... Please look forward on my next review... Im thinking of building one of the Wing series kits :P

RG 1/144 RX 178 MkII Titan

Hello there... this will be my second post for the year 2015 :)
First, I would like to thank you my dear readers for your continuous support :) Ive been having a lot of views lately :) so please keep on supporting guys...

Now on to the review, If your thinking that building the RG MkII Titan is the same as building the RG MkII AEUG... well your somehow right.. It has the same inner frame, parts, articulations accessories...etc.  but Bandai give you some optional parts in the Titans so that it will be different on the AEUG version.. which I used...

so instead of having a full review. I'm just going to compare the two :)

but first lets see the plates and decals :)

PLATES and DECALS

Total of ten plates... same as the AEUG version with a totally different color variation :)
Even the decals are different.












FEET and LEGS

Well the option parts here is the side thrusters on the legs, other than that its all the same aside from the colors of course.






SHOULDERS

using optional parts on the shoulder of the Titans make it more bulkier than the AEUG version.




BODY, BACK PACK and HEAD

the only difference here is the vents on the chest. The Titan's vents is closed (like) while the AEUG has an open vents. For my personal preference I like the vents on the AEUG version. :P

For the head has the same mold
Same backpack...





WEAPONS and ACCESSORIES

For the weapons.. same mold and same gimmicks




The pilot figure is also the same... Im wondering if its Kamille or Jerid... :/



For the riffle... dark part of the riffle, the titan version is much darker than the aeug... im not sure if it can be seen on the pic, but if you look closely, you can see the difference.




Playing with my MkII's



I thought it was possible :P



MK II two-face




Over all...

Having the two RX 178 Mk II is really looks great on the shelf, even though building it twice will bore you, after building you will surely have a great time playing with it.

While building this kit, you will probably give a lot of effort on those nasty nub marks, since it in a dark color,nub marks can easily spotted if not sanded. but thanks to Bandai's wonderful engineering some nub marks will be hidden by the other parts of the kit... but if you dont like nub marks like me... your going sand it down..

But in the end, even building it twice, RG Titan together with the AEUG ver. seeing it together will give you chills.

That is for today. Thank you for reading and please look forward on my next review :)
