MG Gundam Avalance Exia Dash Review | GUNDAM 00 V

Gundam Exia is the mobile suit that got me back into Gundam after years of forgetting about it's existence, so to me it's a very special mobile suit to me. I still haven't read any of the spin-offs, but who could resist such a juicy looking mobile suit, but I wasn't prepared for what came in this box!!!

This may just be the best MG Exia for some people since it comes with a stand which mitigates the problems some encounter with the ankles

The dash parts act as extra legs already, it's impossible for it to topple. Unless you have it built as the avalanche only.

I would hope that the EX point of Exia would be Action rather than Lighting. It's kind of a shame that you need to buy the Perfect Grade just to get a version of this suit that doesn't either fall apart if you look at it funny or get stuck on its own hip skirts.

I think that the Ignition Mode is the definitive MG Exia. It comes with everything you need for the Exia. Exia + the repair 1 parts. The Ignition mode is definitely for people who are a fan of anime Exia.

[@MechaGaikotsu]

Besides it's out of box issues, it is a great kit! I wish bandai made more expansion style kits like that, as opposed to going P-bandai ALL of the time.

I don't want to make your day more annoying than it is, but it is for my thought a lazy 2.0 version of Avalanche Exia. I can see it on the shoulder parts and on the white circle parts of the knees. They're different to the old one and not so stable as back them. On the other side it has instead of rubber parts these nice clear cable parts, I love that things 😍

[@ToyRanno]

Hopefully we get the Exia 2.0 so we can custom build the avalanche with the better kit

[@fishpop]

15:46 I agree about that GN Sword being the best Gundam weapon. Dunno if Guy Helmuth's massive sword beats it out for my favourite period...

[@nguyenquoctoan6354]

Finally the missing MG Exia I have waited for so long. These cables in the shoulder are so annoying I attached the 2nd hand onto the body before built the the shoulder. I felt terrible when they announced Exia R3 before they give us Exia 2.0. I am going to buy it anyway and hope it will have some update. I am also looking forwards your review on it.

Just got this kit as a gift from my wife. there are very small tedious parts to build. It does contain all the parts to build the standard Exia and that's what i just finished building. The back armor of the foot keeps falling off though. will need to disassemble some parts to make it into the Dash and Avalanche versions. The LED unit i have for my MG Seven Swords/G and OO Raiser is not compatible with this one. Sad.

[@gordonshumway1289]

In the mean time, I hope Bandai makes an RG GN-001/hs-A01D Gundam Avalanche Exia Dash. 10:14 Yea. I can totally see what you mean about this MG being more of a retro-fit type of kit. 10:29 I agree that we're long overdue for an MG 2.0 of the GN-001 Gundam Exia. If we do get an MG 2.0 version, I suspect 1 possible route Bandai would take for the variants... 1. Trans Am 2. Roll Out 3. 'Expansion Set' w/ parts for Repair 1, Repair 2, Repair 3, and Avalanche Dash parts. All 3 of those being P-Bandai releases provided it happens. 11:00 Cut corners...😐 12:35 Those hands...😐 13:13 Looking at this, I could definitely see Bandai releasing a P-Bandai 'Expansion Set' if we get an MG 2.0. 15:13 I think you have the GN Long Sword and GN Short Sword attached upside down. I think the blue sections are supposed to be facing up. 15:53 The GN-0000+GNR-010 00 Raiser uses the GN Sword II and GN Sword III.
