danatureboy Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Hey guys, I've heard bad things about this kit, but I would like to get some feedback on it if I could, because, this is the first time I've seen a regular production kit this big (75cm height???) that is also fairly poseable.

zeo-mare Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 i thought it looked pretty nice. alittle while back i missed out on one on ebay, i regret it i really wanted to pick it up. are you planning on getting one. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwayne Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 too expensive. the parts are too big to be painted properly and evenly. the plastic have quite a few molding marks. it's rather posable, but u got to like remove some of the amour and loosen the screw and pose and tighten the screw and put back the amour. but it really looks good painted and assembled. and assembly is easy too. anything that big got to look good.

Commander McBride Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Forget the Gundam, the 1/12 Zaku is much cooler. Nothing like a human-sized MS. I always wanted to play pranks with one by putting it in public situations and watching reactions.

Wow, so its only poseable if you loosen the joints? H M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valk009 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 For the size and price of the RX-72 Gundam, there is really not much detail. Go for the current PG instead or wait a while and a new PG RX-72 will be released with even more poseability! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valk009...you threw me off with the RX-72 designation you were giving i saw one on a very obscure modeling site...it looked nice and all...but it just looked like an upscaled PG kit it wasn't too flattering i was just thinking to myself "who would wanna buy that thing??" ahh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwayne Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Wow, so its only poseable if you loosen the joints?H M all the joints are tightened by screws to hold it in a certain pose. to re-pose, u'll have to loosen the screws, re-pose, and tighten the screw again. rather troublesome. i saw one on a very obscure modeling site...it looked nice and all...but it just looked like an upscaled PG kit it wasn't too flattering i was just thinking to myself "who would wanna buy that thing??" ahh well me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 i also would not mind getting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander McBride Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I think the screws are a good idea. While they may make posing a bit more difficult, imagine how quickly it would droop and lose the ablilty to hold a pose any other way, considering how much weight there is to support.

BTW, this thing weights 6kg, as it was stated on the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
