This will be my first review that is not a gundam, but still, one of the iconic mobile suit for 90's pips out there. The RG 1/144 Tallgeese EW.
UNBOXING
Here are the parts of the Tallgeese.
FEET and LEGS
The foot has three bend point and connected by a ball joint.
Legs bend at two points an has a nice bend. Also, part separation are amazing, specially the inner frame once the knee is bend.
SKIRT
Side skirts are connected by a ball joint and has flaps on it. Same with the back skirt, that has two thrusters but molded as one. However, the flaps can move separately.
You could move the front skirt upward that makes the thrusters on the crotch move forward.
BODY
Like other RG's, the body has an opening cockpit but no pilot. The connectors at the back is for the backpack. It can move up and down and side wards and is very articulate. Great details in the body.
ARMS
Arms and the shoulder armor is built together. Elbows has very nice bend, and the hands are connected by a ball joint.
HEAD
The head has very nice details on it. They head has a LEO head with the mask of the Tallgeese. This is due to that the Tallgeese is based on the design of Leo mobile suits but modified to battle the gundams.
TALLGEESE
So here is the Tallgeese once put together without its backpack.
BACKPACK VERNIER UNIT
The backpack is very detailed and has flaps on it, that will be shown later.
So here is the Tallgeese with the Vernier unit.
ARTICULATION
The arms is very articulate. the shoulder can poop out to have forward and back ward movement for more articulation.
The skirt has a ball joint peg that can be connected at the hips of the Tallgeese for an option. This is to hold the skirt once the leg is moved. However, the connection is not that solid. But it doesn't hinder any articulation on the kit.
There is minimal ab crunch on this kit due to locking mechanism on its back. However, once unlocked, it show very nice ab crunch.
Here is the Tallgeese all flaps opened and thrusters exposed.
WEAPONS
The RG Tallgeese comes with a shield, two beam sabers and the dober gun.
And set of holding hand, closed fist hand, open hand and one holding hand molded with a a wrist extended.
The dober gun extended longer or shorter base from your preference. The magazine are detachable and is connected by a five-point articulation connector that can be connected on the shoulder armor. Making a decent poses on the dober gun is possible.
The shield has a details on it. Handle can move up and down, which is not really that important since the connector with a four-point articulation that can be connected on the shoulder armor can hold the shield for the Tallgeese.
The beam sabers can be stored on the shield as well.
Speaking of beam sabers, the kit has a two beam sabers with effect parts. Interestingly, Bandai gave two kinds of beam effect parts. Two clear red and two clear white. I prefer the white one.
OVERALL
I like this kit, very detailed, very articulate and brings nostalgia for Gundam Wing (which has a poor storyline) fans series like me.
Building Process: Normal
Articulation: 9/10
Details: 10/10
Playability: 8/10
Overall: 8.5/10
Gundam Wing is the first gundam series I ever watched. With that said, This kit brings nostalgic memories of childhood specially for those who grew up in the 90's like me.
That is all for me, thank you for reading and please look forward on my next review.
Thanks
