HG Gunner Zaku Warrior (LUNAMARIA HAWKE CUSTOM) Bandai

Good Day!

Here is my Hg Gunner Zaku Warrior(Lunamaria Hawke Custom).

The pilot of this unit is Lunamaria Hawke

First is to tell something about this unit.
The Gunner Zaku warrior is a zaku(I know that you knew that already) which specializes on long ranged shots that are capable of blowing up battleships. This is made possible by M1500 "Orthros", a powerful long ranged beam cannon. The cannon required it's own power source or battery to be used. And it can be folded and attached to it's pack.

Aside from the Orthros, the unit also has a Beam tomahawk/ shield, hand grenades and MMI-M633 beam rifle(beam assault rifle).

Oh and one more thing the only difference of my beloved Lunamaria Hawke's unit is the color scheme which is pink or dark pink!

See it's pink!

The Design: Uhm, the design is very nice. You can notice that the Luna Maria Hawke's Zaku is just a repaint of the Gunner Warrior Zaku ,(i think they made it pink so it can suit the pilots uhm personality i think ) the zaku also doesn't look to feminine even thought it is pink. It looks more cooler or meaner than other zakus that i have seen(this is just my opinion)

Paint: it is pink.

Articulation. Well the zaku's arms can rotate 360, move up and down(but limited because of the shoulder armor) and side to side. the can rotate in a limited range, the legs can move up and down and bend while the feet can move up and down a little. there is also a ball joint in its shoulder Shield(I don't know if this is the correct term). The waist can also move side to side and up and down a little(or maybe not). The sirts can move up then down.

I know the pic doesn't help in showing the articulation. Sorry

Accesories and other parts and weapons: The zaku comes with the Orthos canon mounted on its back with the battery along with it, a beam assault rifle, and a thomahawk. It comes with four hands a trigger hand, 2 closed fist and an open hand.

size matters.

Panelling: The model kit doesn't have a lot of of panel lines unlike other model kits. Aside from the canon(Orthos) there is nut much to panel line on the model kit. (Or I am just to dumb to see the panel lines)

Overall: I rate this model kit 8.5/10. The color scheme is nice, the sculpt of the figure, the overall look of the zaku. The weapons included are nice and detailed fairly especially the Orthos canon.It also captures the zaku from the anime quite accurately What I really like about this is that in the anime this zaku was piloted by Lunamaria Hawke. If you are planning on buying a model kit(a zaku  model kit to be specific) buy this.

My problem with this model kit is that parts tend to fall off whenever I try to pose it.

HGUC Rx-78 GP03s (Stamen) Bandai

This gundam was first shown in the Mobile Suit Gundam 0083(Stardust Memories) and was piloted by Kou Uraki. Kou Uraki's first gundam is the Rx-78 gp01  "Zephyranthes" which was destroyed along with anabelle gato's gundam Rx-78 Gp02A "Physalis". 


The gundam has two parts the mobile armor "orchis"(Dendrobium) and the gundam itself. The Gp03 can be attached and seperated to the mobile armor. (The Dendrobium is cool, but sadly I don't have any money to buy one.)


This is GP03 Stamen:

I

The Gp03 is simply wonderful and beautiful. One of my favorites in the Hguc line. I heard that this is the fourth gundam on the line. 

I personally liked  the panelling in his legs, arm and in his back..

The Gpo3 comes with a shield, a bazooka(I lost it somewhere in my room), a beam rifle and a beam saber.

                                                    

I personally like Gp03's shield. As it can be folded and it just looks really cool to me. I don't of any other gundams or mobile suits with fold-able shields.  

Inside of shield: Gp03's shield can be attached through a peg in his arm. (peg is in the middle of the shield)

Shield: Front view.

.

As you can see in the pic above. The shield of Gp03 can be folded. I think Gp03 is the only one with a foldable shield.(If there are and other foldable shield out there just tell me.)  

Other accesories of Gp03 stamen are the bazooka(which i lost), beam rifle, and beam saber. The bazooka is foldable as well. The beam saber is colored white(I colored it pink ) and it's handle is white. Just like a lot of gundam beam sabers.

Another cool stuff the Gp03 Stamen has is its "Extended Manipulator Arm"(can also be called mechanical, but its already a part of a mech so its mechanical already.) on both forearms.

In the anime, the arms are used to retrieve or to get the weapons installed on the orchis. It can also be used to grab nearby enemy mobile suits.(this set of extra arms also helps the stamen win any  game of tag.)

Other pics of The Extended Manipulator Arm:

Extended Manipulator Arm: Folded

Hguc Gp03 is nicely detailed .(although not as detailed as an mg or a pg.)

Now lets look at the Gp03's thrusters.( One of my most favorite parts of the gundam along with the  

Extended Manipulator arm.) 

    Gp03's Rocket thrusters are different than other Gundam thrusters. The thrusters doesn't look blocky or  boxy like traditional rocket thrusters(boosters).  Gp03's thrusters look sleek and sophisticated . Gp03 also has two thrusters(wind binders) attached to its sides. 

A closer view of Gp03's unique thrusters.

I forgot to mention that the stamen comes with a Core fighter.

Overall. Stamen is a good model kit.Very good(to me). Articulation is just right. Design is really good. It looks just like its ova(correct me if I'm wrong) counterpart.I specially like the panel lines. There are only two cons I found in the Stamen: His face is somehow kinda of small and the arm joints are kinda loose but it doesn't really ruin the kit. It is still cool as I see it. Thank you Bandai and my cousin who panel lined the Gp03.


I'm gonna  upload more pics later.

Leader class Opimus Prime

Sigh, I failed to buy tetsujin 28 and ended up having Optimus prime. But still Im super happy that I got him. Actually I got him from my cousin who is collecting rotf transformers.  And the pictures came from my other cousin's camera 300d I think.

I'm a hightech alien robot truck. But I still get caught in traffic.

And here is Optimus in truck mode. Which is so much better than last last years optimus prime. This one really looks like a truck than the previous one.

Truck mode side view. As you can see there at the back is 2007  Leader class Optimus Prime along with Battleblade Bumble bee (which I dont have. I have premium bumblebee), jazz and mudflap but they are not mine. This truck mode doesn't have the gun in the back unlike the other Optimus.

Optimus Prime robot mode:

I'm tall because I drink a lot of vitamins not like the other autobots.

I'll take you head on

Here I compare rotf Prime withc 2007 Prime. As you can see Rotf Prime is a little bit taller than 2007 prime. And is more accurate in  every angle from the blades to the feet and also the back of optimus. Although Optimus Prime didn't have a gun which is include in Takara buster prime. As of know I'm in search for that cursed gun.

see the difference.

the evolution of a hero.

Lastly. My cousin's Transformer Collection except Optimus because I already got him. Thanks for the camera and the pics and Optimus. So looking forward for Leader Class Starscream which my cousin will buy tomorrow.

Attack my minions. Oops that's Megatron's line(or starscream)

Revoltech Fulldrillized Gurren Lagann

Okay. Uhm this is my first revoltech. And as you can see (It has a cool box) It is quite cool and awesome and all and a little bit  cooler than the Gurren lagann without drills I think.(Sadly I didn't get the chance to use my cousin's 30D instead I only use the camera of someone else's cellphone. So the shots are quite crappy.With my next revoltech I will surely get good pictures better than this.)

Here is the revoltech box of Gurren Lagann. Which is pretty impressive by the way. The box design makes you want to keep it. I guess if you collect revoltech you will likely to keep it. I think. And it enables you to display the figure like it is still brand new.

ab

Well, the Fulldrillized Gurren has a lot drills  from head to toe (that is why it is called "Fulldrilized"). The drills are quite pointy in someway  and can hurt a little bit when you hold the Gurren Lagann. The paint apps are nice and really good with a few flaws(actually there is only one.One of the drills paint are a little bit scratched. Or is it just my fault for playing with it too much.) The Gurren Lagann's paint has a glossy finish making it look like a polished car or something

The joint are also quite amazing because it can be taken apart from the figure which allows you to do any modifications to it like uhm.. putting another arm on it or something. It also have good articulation so you can pose it in many ways you can think of. But the only problem is that it can't stand properly on its own when you pose it. So you will need to you the stand if you want to pose him.

Here are some not so good  photos of the Gurren Lagann:

Who the hell do you think I am?

Bruce lee

Gurren Lagann is disappointed  because I lost his drill.

About the accessories there are one shade boomerang, one extra forehead for the face head, the shades are detachable, and 4 extra hands(pointy hand, open hand hand, grabbing hand and another grabbing hand). All in all there are 7 accessories including the shades. I forgot to mention the stand. So there are 8 accessories of

Gurren lagann. The stand of revoltechs are quite like gundam stands. The only difference is that revoltech stands have a revoltech joint to connect the figure  instead of a peg usually seen in gundam stands.

roundhouse kick

I decided to pit him against my Msia Buster gundam. Which is a little bit smaller. I want to have him against lazengann but I still dont have him. So for now I'll settle for the gundam who is about to get smashed really hard.

round 1:

       hey I'm not the one who lost you drill.

Gurren lagann lost his drill(actually I lost his drill). So he is looking for it then he came across Buster Gundam who is looking for his rifle or something.

Buster gundam has the upperhand because he already found his long rifle.

      I'm firing my lazer!

And there goes the Gurren lagann. But suddenly.............

        falcon punch!          

 The Buster gundam didn't withstand the epicness of the falcon punch and.......

k.o

round 2:

The second round started out with trashtalk.

I'm a gundam and I will backtrace you.

and I,ll report you to the cyberpolice.

The backbreaker

the nutcracker!

finish him???

k.o

And that's that. Poor gundam. Rest in pieces my dear gundam.

And that is my Revoltech Fulldrilized  Gurren lagann 058. I totally recomend it . Really a must buy if you want to collect revoltech or not. Everthing about it just looks really really cool. And it is from an epic anime. So buy it or get it or something . It is definitely a must buy and I give it  8/10. You can get it from amazon or hobbylinkjapan or ebay.

My drill is the one that will pierce through the heavens!

Next is Tetsujin 28.
