my DM strike hasn't arrived yet... so i only have this one

not sure what is there to review, a lot of runners right out of the box but all lumped together into 2 plastic bags only
3 boxes of the camouflage armor for the 1st batch premium, very nicely printed and laid in boxes
comes with a huuuugggeee poster which i didn't take out of the box, a manual with list of parts but no assembly manual.. there is, however, a CD rom which i believe is where we will find the assembly guide i haven't taken anything out yet, just opened box to take a look... a loooottt of parts.. i think it'll be a fun build, but i don't want to jump right into it yet..

i'm not so sure, i'm just assuming because there's only one booklet, and it's full of text and the parts count and no instructions
it might be in the CD, or mine might have been left out, which would be a shame.. i'll wait for more to comment first to find out

pre-ordered at around 550 loooonnng time ago.. last i heard it's close to 700 now and it was just released...

anyway, confirmed.. manual is in he CD, thanks to the original poster on FB

With its sheer size..most people's regular working space is not enough anyway

Belum o.. need more skill first before i dare to touch such a masterpiece

here's one person who has assembled it

C/O Reginald Ho on FB

there's still 2nd batch... or if you're willing to throw money for the higher cost, first batch can still be found, mostly by people who found they could not pay for the item at this time

no metal v-fin at all

first batch include
- camo armor
- LED beam sabers
- massive Xi Gundam Poster

i thought master builder want to repaint camo

if you intend to paint, no
but for straight builders like me, the camo armor is a very nice addition and makes it look really right out of the box

Then prepare to darn it because it's the regular strike they just announced.. no announcement for skygrasper though

PG strike rouge releasing soon.. they just announced PG strike as well

yep it's supposed to be RM.. but without the aile pack.. some say it comes with sword/launcher parts (the same as B one) but no aile.. but no confirmation yet i think

i'm also quite impressed with the DM Strike.. except for the hands.. they're very thin and uncomfortable to handle, but i've still haven't gotten used to those manipulators, even since Nu ver Ka started using it

alas, even before i could take pics of mine, a friend swapped it with an unassembled unit because he didn't have time to build his.. so i have to rebuild it later to take pics

Hmmm.. why double back system.. why not sell separately as 2 releases? I rather buy 2 and have 2 backpack than buy 2 and have 4 backpacks

i think the only thing i absolutely hate is how the shoulders connect to the inner frame.. whose idea was that MASSIVE shoulder piece connecting to 2 small pegs anyway? because it's stupid

damn.. looks super clean.. i'm happy i managed to stop myself from buying B* Sazabi ver ka.. for so long it always tempt me to buy whenever i go on my weekend gunpla sightseeing trips

that's the exact base given by the original kit and also in daban painted red
the daban kit gives 12 or 18 funnels depending on whether or not you get it from someone who has the "first batch bonus" which are the psychoframe funnels
12 arms are included for the base.. the only thing in the pic that is NOT included is the armed armor DE shield

worth? of course! you're getting the full PG at a lower cost, you get the same build, the same finished product more or less
should you? probably not, it IS still a KO, and we should not encourage people to buy KO
