the expansion set has revised parts for the elbow joints and shoulder joints to the torso, and the hips so they dont split open whenever posing iirc, greatly improves the kit.

@CheeseandCrackers234 Ай бұрын

Yes. The elbows no longer disassemble themselves when you move them.

@elchito3 Ай бұрын

Those parts really redeemed the kit for me. I couldn’t even grab the kits waist withought it basically coming apart before. It’s way too unstable without that lock mechanism.

@rhaeasoul8531 Ай бұрын

Maybe model kits have less testing then regular toys but this kit shouldn’t have needed an expansion kit to begin with or at least not one that exclusively came with those fixed frame parts. If the base retail was this bad already why would anyone want to wast money on a P Bandai add on to a bad kit?

@EnsignEpic Ай бұрын

I understand presuming the V2 would be similar to the Victory in construction, but that's not the case even at HG scale, they were both standard 2010s HG when it came down to basics but were different enough that they felt like completely different builds. The funny thing here is that at HG scale I definitely feel the Victory is the far less fiddly kit than the V2, whose wing binders are a royal pain to get lined up more evenly & happens to have incredibly leggy proportions.

@brianvankley3529 Ай бұрын

Coincidentally, I just finished this and it was my first-ever MG build. The final result looks amazing, but it was not a relaxing build, and might have put me off MG’s for good had I not watched this. Watching a more experienced builder struggle with it is encouraging!

The red circles are exclusive to the Ver Ka. Neither the regular Victory or V2 canonically have them, so it's technically more accurate. They do look nice, though, and it's kind of baffling why they would go out of their way to add colors to a design only to not represent it in plastic (See: MG GM Sniper II's black dots on the legs)

According to the dalong review of this kit from way back in the day, the construction on this is significantly more complex (and fiddly) than even the Victory was. I've never built the original Victory Ver Ka so I can't confirm that, but looking at the manuals it does seem like the V1 has significantly less transformation oragami going on than this does

I think this kit isn't my favorite (that's the Z ver ka), but it is my biggest love/hate relationship with a kit ever. On the one hand I absolutely love the look of it and I mostly really enjoyed the build (the elbows still care me to this day), but on the other the legs tend to come off of the hips, the gun doesn't like to stay in the hand, and I basically have to treat it like a statue. I think the most puzzling thing about it to me is that there seem to be several things in the kit that are bad for reasons totally unrelated to the transformation. I get the transformation is gonna be rough and severely affect the torso of the kit, that's understandable. But I don't get why the hand parts can't hold the gun properly, or why the elbows had to use such thin and brittle C clips

I had eyed the victory with expansion kit a while ago, is so bad? Not worth buying?

@marcosdheleno Ай бұрын

gonna be honest here, the victory line is such a disapointment, they went hard on tinny almost unoticeable details, but diferent from most master grades, this one looks like a high grade, unless you really go in looking for those almost hidden details. it already has issues with the size since its for a smaller than average MS. so it also diminishes the MG's impact and make you second guess on that front as well, even if for just a bit.

@Serom_974 Ай бұрын

While I agree with you with the lack of details when you only do a fresh build out of the box and relies on correcting color stikers in certains areas, when it has and over engineering transformation, the height is still accurate to the scale, the MS is 15.5 m tall in the show, the smallest gundam with the F91 and the Crossbone

@marcosdheleno Ай бұрын

@@Serom_974 i do understand the whole scale thing, and dont disagree with you on that. but that's my point, because its smaller than other suits, and because it looks so lacking in that "MG" look you would expect it kinda feels like a smaller kit like a HG instead.

@SuperDude1987 Ай бұрын

I find both the MG Victory and the V2 gundams to be very much lesser than the sum of their parts. That being said, I absolutely love them, and if they made a Second V, I would pick that up. They are very complex and intricate builds, that require a lot of focus, and is far from your normal mg gunpla build. However, once they are together, their articulation is limited, and they can be quite challenging to pose, so you have to really REALLY enjoy the building process.
