O Gundam GN-000 0 HG (updated)

 That's right, 5 Os. The GN-0000 0 Gundam, gundam 00 's grandaddy gundam, piloted by Reborns Almark and Lasse.
 1.Introduction:
    Model:O Gundam
    Size: Hg 1/144
    Boxart:



Pretty nice, will look better if u have the exia repair 2 hg and place its box on the left.
Manual: Same cover as the box
Price: 1200 yen


2.Articulation:
                                                 
A pic to show how much its hands and legs can bend. so far so good. good mobility as a hg, actually is better than my mg freedom.It can move its legs and hands easily due to its simple design and improved engineering technology from Bandai.
There is a pic on the box that shows it straight from the box unpainted and that is ridiculously plain. The head has many grooves and other places where u are supposed to panel line.

                                               Young Setsuna stares in awe,
                                                                                                                                                                                                     
I panel lined the legs, hands, its GN drive,basically everything. And if u can see, the clear part on its chest comes unpainted, so i painted that as well and also used the dark green sticker at the same time. I tried to be lazy and just used the sticker but it didn't work out. The cockpit looks bad and desperate for some clear green paint.                           

 3.Weapons and accessories:

               The  Beam rifle, the shield, and 2 Beam sabers. The rifle is the plainest i have seen so far. absolutely unamazing, gimickless but we can all agree that that is true to the anime.
Well, actually the shield is plain too, but its major plus point as u can see from this pic, is that other than holding it in its hand, the O Gundam can actually attach the shield to the arm. This is great for making it extra sturdy.
The 2 beam sabers are pretty standard, one of them i believe is actually for Exia R2 Hg so that we can create the classic scene in ep50. (Bandai's ruse to make you buy this kit after u buy exia r2 hg and raged to find no beam saber)
It comes with 2 inter-exchangeable GN drive and Gn condenser.

                                           The Gn condenser. which i am not going to use since Gn Drive is much cooler.


4. Posing
Poses are very easy to make, mainly because parts dun fall off easily and there are not many moving parts and accessories to adjust.
                                          i can't reach my beam saber!

                                          Aerial poses are still the best, though the 1 100 stand i use in this pic is oversized.


                                Looks rather feminine probably due to its legs
                      It goes well with the GN green action base.
                                          beam saber and shield combination looks good...

Verdict: Articulation: 7.5/10
             Poseability: 8/10
             Steadiness: 9/10
A good kit. Looks deceptively small for a hg due to its clean design. but is actually not that tiny if u compare to say, a seravee hg. only downside is its price/parts ratio. it is quite expensive for a kit that comes with only 2 main runners., the usual polycaps runner and the beam saber runner.

Chilling in the park one day...
Night Fever!
Zombie walk.

0 gundam:Hey are you laughing at me for not having open hands?
Rx78-2: No way, why would i do that?( Offers handshakes)
0 gundam: (Pissed) Try doing THIS!
