So here's my next review, and this is for the HG 1/144 Gundam Throne Eins, one of the three season 1 throne series that seem to be the least lackluster kits from the whole season 1 kits from my point of view. A cool looking kit, but it's articulation gets hinder by the armor parts and the equipment it carries. But nonetheless it performs in showing it's only few equipment worth mentioning. This will be a short review due to it not showing anything promising much . Stickers on this kit is just horrible except for the metallic purple parts for the chest. It has a very unique leg design as it doesn't look like it's standing straight but in fact it is.
Articulation wise, elbow joints move around roughly above 90 degrees. The knee joints also go around above 90 degrees even though it has a double knee joint.
The beam gun/crossbow has a very interesting look to it. As I said it has 2 horrible folding stickers to be put on the small wings there. Not that a little paint touch up won't help fix that. It has a movable docking stand for the giant GN cannon on it's back. The docking mechanism can be installed but you will need at least some adjustment for the giant cannon and the arm positioning for it to dock well.
There's 2 joints for you to swivel the GN cannon and the cannon is installed by a ball joint for movement. As you can see this cannon is huge, and if measured by height this would probably be nearly as tall as a MG kit.
You also get 2 beams sabers to be put on the shoulder mounts, although no beam effect parts are included. The best way is to use any beam saber effect with a rectangular peg instead of a standard round one.
The only sticker worth using is this,the chest sticker. it pretty much pops out when it's surrounded by all the dark colors.
So the verdict of this kit, I would say pretty much buy this if you are interested in it, but for those try and avoid this, there's pretty much other kits that show off being a long range type better than this one although you will be missing that very nice cannon. There's not much pose you can do with this kit other than having it pose with the GN cannon deployed since that is the main focus of this kit. pretty much that GN cannon would be a good addition to any kitbash or custom build that you have in mind.

HGUC 1/144 GUNDAM F91 GUNDAM (HARRISON CUSTOM)
So uhh, here it is, my review of the HGUC 1/144 F91 gundam ( harrison custom) review. It's been awhile since I've updated this blog and I'd like to begin my review with this neat little kit. Construction wise, it's kinda different than your different 1/144 construction. It actually feels like a new series build even though it's from a UC series line. Construction wise most of the torso, and leg parts consists of small parts mostly. Sticker wise, THIS kit has a bunch of stickers mainly everything in yellow except for the yellow parts of the feet. And the downside of these stickers, every sticker requires to be folded and be overlaid together. So if you're not painting this, these stickers will absolutely start peeling itself overtime. Articulation wise, it's much more articulate than your standard 1/144 and can even be compared itself as close to RG articulation I think. Equipments for these items, I'd say I am impressed, since most of these equipment can be equipped into suit itself. I will give a detail explanation with pictures.

HGUC 1/144 GUNDAM F91 WIP
Sorry haven't been updating the blog for awhile, I've been busy with work. F91 and throne Eins review should be up within the chinese new year leave and also other stuff. Slight update today for those who are building or intend to build any version of the F91. The kit's rifle handle can be seperated from the original rifle to have it move. Seen a few reviewers unaware of this so it'll be nice for you guys to know.
You can snip these of and sand them not too much and test it out until you feel fine about it |
