Transformers: Prime - Beast Hunters Cyberverse Legion Class Blight Part 1

A forgotten beast

I don't have any idea on how to follow up after the review of Master Grade Sinanju Ver. Ka, but by casually bringing up Keropla God Keron at the beginning of that final posting reminded me of another combiner robot-type review series that is still ongoing, one which I pretty much forgot about after the first figure. ^^;

MG Sinanju Ver. Ka Part 35 [Final]

Quite similar, quite different

The last posting in this very long review series on MG Sinanju Ver. Ka already. ^^

Not discounting the two separate long breaks between the painting and detailing process, this review, which started back in late September 2011, has spanned to very close to three years now. It's the longest-running review series ever on this blog, even longer than the Keropla God Keron series. ^^ Hopefully, no other review in the future will break that "glorious" record held by this Master Grade kit. XD

As previewed in the previous posting, a comparison with its "indirect" successor unit, Unicorn Gundam in Master Grade Ver. Ka format: ^^




I used "indirect" to describe the two MSs' development history, as the addition of Sinanju Stein into the universe of Gundam Unicorn as the actual prototype of Sinanju, also implies that Unicorn Gundam was developed based off Sinanju Stein, instead of a Sinanju that features none of the emblems and stripes added by The Sleeves after it was stolen from Anaheim Electronics, as indicated in Episode 2 of the OVA series. That predecessor-successor relationship is much more direct, but in reverse in terms of these two Master Grade Ver. Ka releases. Unicorn Gundam came out in December 2007 as the first release of this series, followed by Sinanju exactly one year later. ^^

MG Sinanju Ver. Ka Part 34

Awesomeness stalls for no scale

Even more action poses featuring MG Sinanju Ver. Ka after the previous posting. ^^


The Boss pose, nicely done when it's in mere inner frame form, made even cooler now that the kit has been completed. ^^

MG Sinanju Ver. Ka Part 32

Sinanju's customized coin

And the action begins with MG Sinanju Ver. Ka after the previous posting. ^^

But before that, there's one important addition to the standing pose I forgot to include in the previous posting. ^^;


One benefit of having the cockpit capsule situated deep inside the chest, and been covered up by layers of armors, is the ability to pose the standing figure of Full Frontal right next to the opened hatch but not looking awkward, since the pilot figure can't be seen at all. ^^


One other extra point: if the shoulder armor and binder are tilted upward far enough, there's a point that can be reached by the mounted shield for it to be balanced, very well at that, beside the arm using just the binder's hook arm. ^^
