for the detail loss, you really get what you pay for.. although for gaogao the joints are noticably stronger, i.e. 00R and 007S can each hold their swords more firmly than original.. although i faced the same issue, the peg on the hands are pretty horrible, but when u manage to fit it in, it holds very well.. as for the shield, mine kept falling off too, so i had to glue it on

my exia is a bit flimsy, maybe because it's one of my earlier bootlegs.. not much experience in gunpla then

^ i don't disagree, nor am i compaining (much )
but i don't think i ever had a duplicate (both ori and bootleg together) of an MS.. unicorn is my first, so i actually start to notice the differences.. especially for a transformable suit, it's far from perfect.. BUT! i also realize that it's an old mold and even then there are degradation, so i am not holding this against gaogao.. i am really enjoying the build.. the FAU will be done soon.. now i've only built the right side.. working on his left arm and leg

i know u won't flame but i just want to make sure everyone understands that i'm not complaining.. when i dived into bootleg gunpla i didn't know what i was getting into.. now i know very well and of course while some older molds are not quite up to the standards nowadays, i regret nothing!

despite what people have been complaining about.. about how unicorn is loose.. i have to agree, but it has been greatly exaggerated
most of the parts, b*ndai have almost equivalent problem except it is much much sturdier so you don't feel the problem as much
gaogao has not so good molding, that's why some problem areas have more problems with them such as the pull joint above the foot, and how the arms transform, it keeps pulling off because the c-joint is not that great
all in all though, he makes a damn good looking unicorn mode, with that green psychoframe showing through
i guess this FAU will be full armor unicorn gundam [unicorn mode] for me loving this thing!

agreed, the sinanju is a very solid kit.. not even the waist issue people keep complaining about is seen on the gaogao sinanju

maybe u just need to be a bit more gentle with them seems u have trouble with GG kits but i personally do not have much problems with them

yeap, definitely just need to be more gentle most of my GG kits no problem.. but instead it's my b*ndai kit that i normally break a small part or something

u mau tengok ZOIDS, limfreelance is your guy dia hardcore ZOID collector

daban had a rough start.. The astrays are their worst releases.. Duel is much much better (naturally )

yeap, only GHD got PG Strike

there's Weibritter, Person Lichkiet, Alteisen and if you're into SD, u can get McModel's SD Sladegelmir too.. i think those are all the SRW kits bootlegged.. except the McModel one, that's an original by them

yeah agreed, his hand sux.. but it holds well enough
here's my completed one from way back my first time fully hand painting a kit

Loongon/LWD's Lv Bu

don't be fooled though, mine is heavily painted.. look at acestoro's post, the one above mine, for how he REALLY looks out of the box

i ordered mine, waiting for it to get here.. and why did u say HG ver is more appealing?

hmm.. thanks for the pics.. i always thought they would be the same though
