Kyle Morgan Bandai's gotten into the new habit of making kits with MORE unique parts P-Bandai, with the watered-down versions for mass-release. Guess we should be thankful we got the Striker GN-X as a mass-release at all. By the end of this year we might only see one mass-release a month.

I do like the on the manic moving monoeye gimmick. But with that said it does make it quite annoying when you want the eye in the opposite direction of the head. As for the points of particulate option they removed I'm not completely happy with their absence. Well their movement was small I found them to be quite useful and pulling off particular poses. However it's not all bad the one good thing is that they gave the foot a lot of ranges which is nice. Although I will miss the collapsing chest I wish they'd try to improve on it instead of just getting rid of it.

30 seconds to find the spot to put the eye? Or 30 seconds to find it, mark it, drill it, and then paint it? What does that do to your drying times since you're building enough paint to form a meniscus? My pin vice doesn't even take bits that large. I use an X-acto saw with a miter box. Cut a thin slice, sand the side I mean to paint. I don't mean to be argumentative, but it feels to me like you've overthought your solution.
@Erdrick686 жыл бұрын
30 seconds to mark, measure and drill. I do it before I do any painting. After the base black paint as completely cured, that's when I fill in the mono eye. I usually will put in a layer, let it dry for 10 minutes, put it aside to work on other details, the repeat, until I am satisfied.

@benh35186 жыл бұрын
The Act Zaku has unique Shoulders (like the Efreet without spikes) and a two-antennae custom backpack unit, while this Act Zaku retains the shoulders and backpack of a standard Zaku II. The P-Bandai kit in particular has another unique beam gun and also comes with two beam sabers that attach on the rear hip skirt, though I think that's more in line with how the Titans used it (as they pretty much borrowed the design for ease of production, following Op. Stardust literally nuking most of the post-OYW arms build up, to get fighting strength up - then phased the Act Zaku out when they finally got things like the Barzam near the end of the Gryps Conflict)

@thehangarbay6 жыл бұрын
Your proposed fix for the arm seam-line doesn't work from a manufacturing standpoint. For the cheaper injection machines they use for most HG runner manufacture, the parts need a draft to correctly separate from the mould. It would be possible to make a better solution with a more expensive target machine for manufacture (e.g. slide-moulding could be used), but this would add to production costs and make the kit more expensive. EDIT: If you ever wonder why Bandai didn't design it a specific way, it's almost always due to manufacturing constraints. Also, expect waterslides like they've been doing with other The Origin kits. It just takes time.

And make what other suits than the Zaku? The Gouf and the Gyan both got excellent HGUC revive kits and all you'd need to do to make them "Origin" edition is slap some of the spare mini marking decals on 'em. And I think they're holding off on the GM (inevitable Local Type retool of course) because they came out with the Build Fighters GM/GM which is essentially the best GM ever made if you don't count realism into its design. That said, I sure wouldn't mind them getting creative and maybe give us a freakin' Oggo pod 2-pack. If we're going into MSV territory then the Zeon version of a shoddily built, hastily constructed Ball is fair game. And would be far preferable to tracking down that insanely expensive (and more difficult to build) EX model from some years back.
