00 RAISER DESIGNER COLOR VER.

(PART 1) 00 GUNDAM

GN-0010 0 RAISER

If you guys asked me to choose whether to buy the original 1/100 00 Gundam + 1/100 0 Raiser or 00 Raiser Designer Color Ver., I would strongly recommended 00 Raiser Designer Color Ver.. Read this post if you disagree with me......onegai.:D

GN-0000 00 GUNDAM

I saw this model kit on display with the sale price of RM 163 at Times Square. So I checked with the original 00 Gundam kit plus 0 Raiser kit( you have to buy them separately, a way for bandai to drain our money, I guess) , which costs about RM 158. I decided to buy the 00-Raiser Designer Color Ver. as it also came with the special GN Sword 3, 3 LED lights, special TransAm beam saber and a few marking (isn't that enough to you???).

The special part of Designer Color Ver. is they came with 3 LED lights for 00 Raiser to use. 2 is located at the 2 GN Drive of 00 while 1 is located at its head. I did put both lights in the GN Drive, but I gave the head's light to my 1/100 Seravee (which unfortunately doesn't come with any LED light, talk about sour grapes...)

Other benefit from purchasing the Designer Color ver. is you got extra marking for your model kit. You can check that marking is noticeable at the left part of 00 Gundam and the GN Shield.

This model took me about a week to finish, and another 2 days for marking, and 1 day for lining work. Overall, this is a great model to buy (that includes other Designer Color ver. too, I guess), but I'm not quite satisfied with the joint work at the head (the head is quite loose, and that makes the posing action and gimmick pose quite limited, huuuu..)

Setsuna's most preferred weapon, 00 Gundam with GN Sword 3

Also, GN Sword 3 is included in the kit ( I don't think they have that in the 1/100 kit). Since I'm not a PG kit guy, I can consider this model as a good replacement for a MG.

Next, I'm going to write a review of the GN-0010 0 Raiser, which will not be too long ( I hope). For now, I've got to go back to university, my mid-semester break is over and got to attend those ridiculously sleepy classes back.:D
