MG Gundam AGE-1 Normal Part 14 [Final]

Not fierce-looking, but I'll make an exception for it
The last posting for MG Gundam AGE-1 Normal already. ^^ Putting its flexible joints to the test, some of the action poses shown below are going to be from other MG kits' box art image. How many do you recognize? ^^





























Together with the previous posting, there's no doubt at all about MG Gundam AGE-1 Normal's articulation design in supporting its action poses. Everything feels fluid and looks great too, but I think the overall simple design of the Gundam itself may have a lot to do with its posability. ^^ Until today, even with the completion of this kit, I'm still not too impressed with said design, which I described to be of a "safe" type back in the introductory posting. ^^ There's no special design feature about it at all, but come to think about it again, that might be a blessing in disguise for this Master Grade kit - because of its simplicity, all of its Gunpla design features could be reexamined and revamped, and that's what made it such a great kit in my opinion. Behind its really simple look, there's a great deal of fun factors to experience. ^^

This one would go into my list of "not too fond of the Gundam design, very happy with its Gunpla design". ^^

A comparison with 1/100 Gundam Exia:

And just for the fun of it, a comparison with its "ancestor" from another universe, Gundam RX-78-2. XD This is the MG Ver. 1.5 release.

With its Advanced Grade 1/144 scale version which was completed not too long ago.



I actually like the sharp visor design of the AG version better. I think it gives the Gundam a fiercer look as compared to the "flat" type seen on the Master Grade version. ^^

Finally, after coping from many others, here's Gundam AGE-1 Normal performing its own box art action pose:
