1/100 Gundam Exia Roll Out Color Ver. Part 8 [Final]

Blue versus gray, bright versus pale

More action poses from 1/100 scale Gundam Exia Roll Out Color Ver. to kick off the final posting of this review series. ^^



Supported using Action Base 1 Celestial Beings Ver..















Since the articulation design and weapons (option parts) are exactly the same as those on the original 1/100 Gundam Exia, I did struggle a bit in coming up with ideas on how to pose the kit while not repeating what I did in the review on its predecessor. ^^;

Speaking of which, here's a comparison between this Roll Out Color version of Gundam Exia with its original release:







Closeups on the details:

[Back]



[Left arm and GN Shield]



[Right arm and GN Sword]




[Legs]

As you can see, besides the color scheme and printed details on the GN Condensers' foil sticker pieces (which aren't really noticeable on the completed model anyway), the Roll Out Color Ver. is exactly the same as the original version. ^^

Looking at the side-by-side comparison photos, I think it's even possible to adjust the hue/saturation values of the original version's photos using image editing software to "create" the Roll Out Color version. XD

As mentioned above, given that the two versions are completely identical in terms of their assembly design, it's completely acceptable to say that this Roll Out Color version is a repeated build. Then again, given that it was quite a while back since I last assembled a Gundam Exia variant in this scale, I didn't feel the repetitiveness in the assembly, and enjoyed it very much. ^^ The completed model itself has a unique look due to its overall gray color scheme, which makes for a great display. ^^

Having the Master Grade and Real Grade versions of Gundam Exia in my collection, this is definitely not the last Gundam Exia kit to be featured on my blog. ^^
