HG 1/144 Zeydra Review - Part 2

This is a (late) continuation of this post.

Read on for the rest of the review!

Note: The Zeydra's red is rather orange rather than actual red. I adjusted my white balance from time to time (unless I forgot since the phone's camera resets it back to auto every time I exit the application) so that the Zeydra comes out as red as possible. ^^;

Kingdom Hearts 3D

Haven't had the time to post the review posts up. Real life (having fun going out with friends and responsibilities) really does come first after all. Haven't built any Gunpla for over a month too.

Adding to that, the first cardshop in Kuching has just opened late last week. Its called Cardfight Kingdom, currently majoring in Cardfight!! Vanguard, located along Pending, Kuching. Those interested, you can search for it in Facebook gor further information.

Now I'm playing Kingdom Hearts 3D on my 3DS. Decided to get the Mark of Mastery edition since I got the chance, thanks to a friend of mine. Comes with some nifty postcards, box and casing for the 3DS (which I'm not gonna use as I'm afraid to damage it).

That's all for now~

HG 1/144 Zeydra Review - Part 1

Been out frequently ever since I got a chance to drive myself around the place so this post is very much belated to when I intended to post it up. :X
Well, I guess real life does come first before anything else here. ^^;

 

Price: 1300 Yen

Bought this a few months back as well as took those photos a few months back. Currently got some free time to burn so here is the Zeydra! Really enjoying the new Gunpla kits. As much as some of us like to complain that the designs are rehash of the old suits and such, the Vagan designs are quite fresh, different and special when compared to past mobile suits, although there are parallels to the original series in their designs such as Zehart mobile suits being based on Char's mobile suits.

Specifications

Pilot: Zehart Galette

Height: 20.0m

Weight: 46.7t

Armaments: Beam Vulcan Gun/Saber (2, at the palms), Zeydra Sword (1, tail), Zeydra Gun/Saber (1), Beam Buster (1, green part of chest)

Blaster Blade & Blaster Dark "Limit Release"

Recently Bushiroad has lifted the ban on Blaster Blade, Blaster Dark and Dragonic Overlord for the Asia Circuit Stage. From that, I suddenly got an idea for upgrades for the two. Not sure if its workable though.

Left: Blaster Blade LR, Right Blaster Dark LR

Grade 3 (Twin Drive) - Blaster Blade [Limit Release] (Royal Paladin | Human) - 10000 Power (RRR)
Continuous VG - When -Blaster Blade- is in the soul, this unit gains +1000 Power.
Limit Break 4, Auto VG [Counterblast 2] - "When this unit's attack hits the VG, you may pay the cost, chose up to 2 of your opponent's RG and retire them.
Auto [Counterblast 2] -When this unit appears on RG, you may pay the cost, chose up to 1 of your opponent's RG Grade 2 or higher and retire it.

Grade 3 (Twin Drive) - Blaster Dark [Limit Release] (Shadow Paladin | Human) - 10000 Power (RRR)
Continuous VG - When -Blaster Dark- is in the soul, this unit gains +1000 Power.
Limit Break 4, Auto VG [Counterblast 2] - When this unit's attack hits the VG, you may pay the cost, chose up to 2 of your opponent's RG and retire them.
Auto [Counterblast 1, Retire 1 of your -Shadow Paladin-] -When this unit appears on VG, you may pay the cost, chose up to 1 of your opponent's RG Grade 2 or below and retire it.

Okay, in all seriousness, I need a better idea for their third skill since it was just plastered there. Maybe add-on power for each RG or something instead but these two are more to retiring units than anything else.

That's all for now. I wonder when I'll get down to actually post some Gunpla up again. ^^;

EDIT (27/07/12):

 "Just like a mirror."

Alternate skill ideas. =X

Grade 2 (Intercept) - Blaster Blade [Limit Release] (Royal Paladin | Human) - 9000 Power - 5000 Shield (RRR)
Continuous VG - When -Blaster Blade- is in the soul, this unit gains +2000 Power.
Limit Break 4, Continuous VG - This unit gains "Twin Drive".
Continuous VG - If you have 4 or more -Royal Paladin- VG/RG on your field, your opponent cannot normal call a Grade 0 to the guardian field.
Auto [Counterblast 2] -When this unit appears on VG, you may pay the cost, chose up to 1 of your opponent's RG and retire it.

Grade 2 (Intercept) - Blaster Dark [Limit Release] (Shadow Paladin | Human) - 9000 Power - 5000 Shield (RRR)
Continuous VG - When -Blaster Dark- is in the soul, this unit gains +2000 Power.
Limit Break 4, Continuous VG - This unit gains "Twin Drive".
Act VG [Retire 1 Shadow Paladin] - This unit's Power +3000 until the end of that turn.
Auto [Counterblast 2] -When this unit appears on VG, you may pay the cost, chose up to 1 of your opponent's RG and retire it.

Chaos Paladin

"Chaos Paladin - The main motive of this clan is to conquer the battlefield and manipulate it to their benefits."

I suddenly thought of this clan thanks to a friend of mine. A few mentions and at the same time creation of the Blaster Gold line, caused me to think of a Paladin clan that aims to dominate the playing field.

It started with this. Hm, what should I call him?

Grade 3 (Twin Drive) - Masked Man of the Abyss (Human) - 10000 Power (R)
"Auto VG - When this unit's attack hits the Vanguard, your opponent chooses 1 of his RG and that RG is put into the drop zone.
Auto VG/RG - When this unit attacks and your opponent has 2 or less RG, this unit gains +3000 Power for that battle."

Just randomly sketched this one just a few minutes ago. Chaos Paladin, huh?

Grade 2 (Intercept) - Abyss Reaper, Mina (Elf) - 9000 Power - 5000 Shield (RR)
"[Retire 1 of your -Chaos Paladin- RG.] When this unit is called to the VG/RG and your opponent has 2 or more RG, you may pay the cost, your opponent chooses 1 of his RG and that RG is put into the drop zone."

Grade 3 (Twin Drive) - Knight of Hell (Demon) - 10000 Power (RRR)
"LB4, Auto VG [Retire 2 of your -Chaos Paladin- RG.] When this unit attacks, you may pay the cost, your opponent chooses 2 of his RG and those RG are put into the drop zone.
Auto VG - This unit gains +2000 Power for each RG retired for that turn. [Yours and your opponent's.]"

Basically, it is a retiring game. Sometimes you retire your RG to retire your opponent's RG (Giraffa from Megacolony). You may also gain power if you do so and/or when your opponent has less RG (Kagero). Just like Royal/Shadow/Gold Paladin, this clan can also gain power from its own allies but I'm not sure how exactly yet.

That's all for now.

Gundam AGE Ver. SEED/Destiny

I blame ZD initially for this since he put up some nifty Gundam AGE-2 Freedom lineart ideas on his wall. The first thing I sketched out was AGE-2F based on ZD's lineart spiced with my own interpretation. Zeydra-D follows right after with a sudden "clean" lineart. I wonder if I ate anything wrong recently. >.>

J-Bouncer comes along is a rough representation of Justice/Infinite Justice. I think I should just flat out base it on Infinite Justice since it resembles that better than the original Justice. =/

Until the next post~

Bottom of the Rollercoaster

You know that moment when you ride a rollercoaster and then it dips down, causing you to feel quezee? Yeah, suddenly got sick recently, last Friday to be exact. Must be the haze. Starting to feel better now but not well enough to go out for long periods.

At any rate...

I wonder if I took enough photos the other day.

Oh yeah, you know that feeling when you're doing the same report as the previous semester seniors but you have to do more work for it this semester? The disparity is very obvious this time around. And we get only 1 week to do it. Gee, thanks. *le rant*

Until the next post.

HG Gundam AGE-1 Spallow Review

Price: 1200 Yen

This was a rather unexpected purchase for me since this kit was unattractive to me due to the lack of gimmicks/parts especially when compared to the other Gundam AGE HG model kits of the same price. I can argue that Sunrise did well presenting the Gundam in the anime though, since I was totally impressed how a single blade (plus some small needle-like hidden shots) can do so much damage while taking in huge numbers. As cheesy and flat it may feel to some, the "raep" Spallow did on-screen was something that caught my interest. Furthermore it was a bit more expensive than normal locally but recent changes in tax laws caused that so I couldn't complain much.

Specifications
Pilot: Flit Asuno
Height: 18.7m
Weight: 33.4t
Armaments: Shiguru Blade (1), Knee Needle Gun (2)
Doesn't have many weapons on board and it is pretty much limited to short-mid range combat. It focuses on speed and agility to "raep" its opponents. I wonder how Flit handled those Gs.

Story
Spallow is the last on-screen Wear for the Gundam AGE-1 piloted by the young Flit Asuno in the first season of Gundam AGE. Because the Titus was slow and long range weaponry (DODS Rifle) was not as effective as before, the AGE System crafted this Wear. Adding on to Flit's growing X-Rounder abilities, he takes upon himself the duty of being a Savior but unfortunately...

It Is Now June

Time is sure passing by fast and blogs are getting more and more neglected as time goes by. At any rate, Kyan!me 2012 is coming up, 8-10 June at The Hills Shopping Mall, Kuching. I can't say it is something fantastic but if possible, try to show your support by coming. I'll be around somewhere there if anyone wants to look for me. =P

Photo above shows what should have been up in this blog, along with other posts, that I wish to do but lack the mood to have the time to spend half an afternoon/evening on a blog post lately. I lost the right side of the Zeydra's antenna somehow just now and basically put me off from a supposed photoshoot session. >.< I do hope to be able to find the missing piece...

Oh why must I accidentally lose it? ;_;

On a happier note, Selamat Ari Gawai!

EDIT:

 On another happier note, I scratch built a new simple one. :'D
