1/144 SCALE GUNDAMS: KICKASS AND
BETTER THAN THE BIGGEST?!
Hello there folks and welcome to yet another short blog post by yours truly, Adam. Today is a quick reveal on the very nicely made GunPla High Grade (HG) Gundam 00 Raiser kit, which is scheduled for a wide release sometime at the end of Oct --( Gimme! ) Ive gotta admit that Bandai Japan has certainly come a long and progressive way in terms of dreaming up some amazing concepts for their 1/144 Gundam kits. No doubt, in recent times they have been churning out even more impressive mid-scale Gundam models with such accuracy and superb attention to detail and quality. Gone are the simplistic 10 step clip-on parts of the 1/144 Scale models of yesteryear, instead the more current ones really impressed me personally with surprising depth and challenge as the parts for them seem to get more and more, not to mention the figure itself getting even smaller in terms of the final figure assembled!

AN 'ILLICIT' LOVE AFFAIR?!
That website sure knows how to throw a good deal ever so often, don't they?! Lets face it, the Japanese really kow how to make all tings plastic look damn good! Definitely one of the more beautiful and challenging kits ever made to date in 2010! (I can already tell by just looking at the finished product!) LOL-- The pre-order prices have always been kind on the wallet and mind, and that suits most of us collectors just fine! IMHO, Amiami has just got to be one of the coolest place to find just about anything under the collecting sun for seasoned and casual Otakus'. All pictures are linked and credited to them!
Many Thanks!
Many Thanks!

FINAL THOUGHTS:-
I am not really a Gundam 00 Raiser enthusiast, but the challenge and pure raw energy of the Mecha design is one of the main reasons to put down a 'measly amount of ' RM66/RM90 Ringgit for such an incredible piece of toy engineering. It looks sharper when you build it up, say as compared to the more expensive and less personal satisfaction you are likely to experience with the Robot Tamashii/ Spirits version which will be an Exclusive release to the line. Its a given that this excellent 1/144 scale Gundam Raiser kit will be available in local hobby shops in KL -- but, of course, nothing beats getting it directly from Japan as it just makes it a little cooler not to mention geek-worthy! LOL. A+
