(Sort Of) New For 2024! Bandai 1/144 Real Grade 00 XN Raiser - Build Overview and Thoughts

[@la0slegend]

Vindication for my purchase! Thank you! I'm super excited, granted P-Bandai says estimated release is July.

Very nice display for the finished build. Looks really nice with the decals applied

[@geonekos2238]

Excellent review!

[@galechronos]

I couldn't get the 00 Riser to slot into my RG 00 Gundam properly. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a QC issue with my individual kit, but I don't really mind since I prefer the base 00 and riser separately. Nice review. One of these days I'll be brave enough to learn how waterslides work.

I was expecting much the same from this to be fair, but the square area around the peg almost has a slot of its own on the backpack, which stops it moving about. It’s easy to remove, but it won’t fall off when shaken, so perhaps they made the tolerances better on this go round.

Moomin!

[@syndicationbuilds]

Indeed! That biscuit tin has been holding all my assorted tat for a very long time. I also recently picked up a small toy of the Ancestor from Moominland Midwinter to chill on my paint shelf, so he’ll probably be making a few cameos from here out!

Does this kit come with a stand? Planning to buy it

[@syndicationbuilds]

It does, but it’s not a full action base - rather an AB base with a small stand piece designed especially for supporting the 00 XN Raiser in a standing pose. The two adapters are compatible with regular action bases though

So no more early rg syndrome for 00 then?

[@gundamandyugioh4184]

The 00 utilizes the RG Exia frame which is one of the best early RG frames that can hold up for a while (same frame as 00 Quanta)
