P-Bandai: PG 1/60 Gundam Astray Blue Frame - Review by Gundam Kits

P-Bandai: PG 1/60 Gundam Astray Blue Frame
(Release Date: March 2014,Price: 18,900 Yen)

Some words from the builder :

PROS
  • looks great even if it is just in standing position
  • detail wise, panel line and color separation looks wonderful
  • LED gimmick, wow it adds WOW effect to the kit
  • gimmick on the shield, there's a lever that you can turn up and down to see the other side.
  • manipulator looks wonderfully molded.
  • the Bazooka "Cattus" is looking very sharp and detailed.
  • articulation on the legs is fantastic.
  • no weight issues
  • comes with great set of decals
  • comes with heavy metal for more durable leg joints.
  • comes with heavy metal to a more balanced model kit.
  • very easy to install LED
  • it came with sticky sheets for the feet to keep the kit from slipping when articulated in other positions.
CONS
  • manipulator would fail over time when you keep changing weapons.
  • cockpit is kinda hard to articulate
  • elbow and triceps armor pieces kept falling whenever I try to articulate its arms.
  • shoulders keep loosing when arms are being moved, so you need to tighten it again for better results.
  • V-fin kept falling, I had to glue it to make it stay on place.
  • I am kind of disappointed that I don't see much silver pistons when all armor pieces are installed.
But yeah, overall 7/10!
