[ZHOU YU & HG GUNDAM EXIA]

So, I started working on these two first. I've put 4 and 1/2(Not done with the fifth yet) together. Now, It's time for some updates.



Okay. So the Zhou Yu Hyaku Shiki is actually very impressive for a SD kit. From my memory of years ago, these have now been modified for more articulation. Oh man. :)The details are very nice. Just the head alone made me squeal like a kid. Arms don't have that arm articulation from back then, though. MAN DOWN!!!!

The legs are pretty impressive. Two points of articulation on the legs ^^ Oh, that made me so happy. The feet designs are cool too. Very ancient china-like
Finally, the main body is complete. The armor and armanents are done as well, but I didn't get any pictures of them that day.
Now on to Gundam exia. I did the most with him.
So, I did the white first. Not a good thing on my part. But it's okay. It was the major color, so I decided to start with the bigger portion of the color scheme. the parts on the string were taped to the stick. used double sided tape :)

That's my thinner behind it :)Transparent parts painted green :)

The grey parts were next. I masked the white parts that needed grey parts. Perhaps I'll make a video on my youtube account :)A lighter grey that the default grey :)

A lighter red. Pink you could say. Going for the designer's color

The arms aren't on because the shoulder pads are connected to it. Painting the blue and yellow tomorrow. Then it's the silver and top coat :). Oh I'm excited

I'll panel line then once I get all of them done. Until then, I'll see you all later.

[PACKAGE ARRIVED]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes.... :)

[TRANSMITION ENDED]

TRANSFORMERS ROTF

YES! there are only four days left until the US releases it :) I'm very excited. There will be a review of it on here and I will be doing a review on leader class Optimus Prime once the movies out. That way, I'll be able to know more about him :) Okay. That's all for now :\ Sorry that it's a bit boring. I'm sure you understand :)

[File Uploading...TF: ROTF Sideswipe]

[NAME: Sideswipe]
[RACE: Cybertronian]
[TEAM: Autobots]
With the upcoming Transformers movie, coming in about 22 days now, I decided to do a review on this site. This site is revolving around the character Sideswipe. We have no idea what kind of person he is except that he is a warrior. I will update this post with a bio on him. Let's move on.

[Alt mode.... LOADED]
His alternate mode is a Stingray Concept Corvette. It's sweet look gives reason for his name Sideswipe. The Corvette characters are present in this new alt mode. Sadly, this is only a concept and will not be released to the public.












Some more pictures for you.

As you can see, the back loses some characteristics of the classic look. I like it though

In the end, I really have no complaints about the car. But let's move on to it's tranformation

[Transformation.... LOADED]
Words will follow to help misunderstandings

1. Pull up the frontbumper. This will separate it from what will be his legs. Then, separate the front bumper by pulling the piece on your right up.













2. Now, go to the back wheels, and pull them inward. Do not be afraid to add some force.














3. Now, move all those floating panels out ward. Hey look, a bird XD















4. Turn over the car again, and this time, pull on the torso and legs. This will now allow step 5 to be possible.















5. Pull down the back of the car/chest and pull the torso/legs up. The torso piece moves forward so that it may peg into the whole. Use Step 4 picture for reference.













6. Most the back of the hood to reveal the head.. wait... EPIC HEAD REVEAL!!!!!















7. Flip down the wheels inside the legs
















8. Then flip down the main wheels and push up the frontbumpers until the don't move anymore. This will allow more stabibility when standing.














9. Flip out the hands from his forearm.
















10. Finally, fidget with those wings until you like 'em. I move em back and fold 'em up.














11. Now, fold those little babies down and you'll have Sideswipe in Robot Mode.

[Robot Mode... LOADED]

Look at this sexy guy

Sideswipe, as you can see, has a very nice robot mode. This proportions have been loved ever
since pictures of him had came out. He has very nice details and features as well.
His face is very warrior like. It gives him a nice sleek look, which I believe is a must considering his name. It's almost as though he's wearing hockey gear.













His arms were engineered to give us two points of articulation. Oh, hasbro. You know how to please us so well. WHY NOT DO IT WITH ALL YOUR STUFF?!?!?!














As you can see on his torso is the Corvette emblem that everyone knows so well. Hmmm details like that just make me drool........... oops sorry.













The legs are very cool looking. Although this leads to difficult balancing, it enables let any pose look super slick(I think that's the word of the review hahaha)













Another feature in this toy is its illusion. As you look at the picture, you can see that instead of those four joints that look like they manuver the legs, it's actually 2 clear ball joints that do so. Clever, Hasbro... clever.












The last feature that this has is his twin blades on his arms. Instead of going around, that actually move symmetrically. This allows the swords to stay inplace instead of falling down everyone in a while.














Overall, I'd say this toy gets a 9/10. The peg that goes into the chest is loose on mine. Plus it is very hard at first to balance the toy. But, it's easy to get use to. In the end, the toy is a must for anyone who is a transformers fan or movie fan. This toy is full of epic win and sleekness. I leave you with one pose in many angles(actually three but XD)

Look at the slick pose :)
