GN-0000 00 GUNDAM





My, my, a Gundam that has four zeros for a mobile suit number that goes by the name of 00 Gundam, from the same series.




Being an Entry Grade kit, there isn't a lot of pieces for assembly. Thankfully they do provide some stickers to keep the figure looking more lively.




You'll see that Entry Grade kits only look good from the front. Most of these kits are hollow at the back. However I'm sure kit-bashers out there have a way of sealing the gaps at the back to make the model kits look better.




00 Gundam comes with the GN Sword II.




There isn't much you can do about articulation, but this kit serves well as a display unit among other 1/144 scaled Gundams.

GN-001 GUNDAM EXIA







Gundam Exia comes from the animated series Mobile Suit Gundam 00. In the anime series, this mecha was developed primarily for closed combat battles.






What you're seeing here is Gundam Exia from the Entry Grade kit. It is a basic 1/144 scaled mecha. I've attempted to add some color to this mecha by putting on marker ink.




The only weapon that this robot comes with is the GN long blade.

Articulation is very tight as the joints of the leg ar being obstructed by the hips. In terms of the arms, there is only one way movement.

I have stopped collecting Gundam from a couple of years as I no longer have the luxury of time in assembling these model kits. The other main point is that there's hardly any resale value for these plastic injection kits.




Here's a sample image that I found of how this figure would look like if you were to put your heart & effort into air brushing and painting it. One thing about me, I have zero knowledge in such works.
