i remembered watching a review on RG exia trans-am mode, the reviewer mentioned that the "red" colour seems like another color coating on top of the original, so the parts would be tighter than the normal RG exia...

Those shine seems more like a pearl injection kit.
They tend to break easily.

that would explain fragility of the trans-am kit...

BTW, anyone went to Gamers Arena lately?
they seems to quiet lately...

anyone??
1 box come with 2 pcs of robot & figure.

someone said they gonna restock next week.

No it really is fragile, broke mine when the kit fell from the table top on to parquet, other parts were durable but this sword holder pen is really thin.

Same with mine..

Hmm ... first time order from Samuel decal >.<

But 3 out of 4 order = No pre-cut

Ouch...

where do u order? mine share the link to browse?

most of samuel decal is not pre-cut bro...

I just finished snap-fitting the standard RG Exia.

There is one major articulation problem. When the front skirt armour is installed, the leg cannot be lifted very far because the front thigh armour (which is very thick) gets blocked by the front skirt.

Minor gripes:

- The flexible hands' fingets are too fiddly and the palm socket too loose to hold the GN Blade. Unless you plan on modding the palm sockets, using the fixed weapon-holding hand will be your best bet.

- The shoulder armour can pop off if you're not careful turning the arms and posing. Just adjust position and be careful.

- My God, the special plastic bits for the GN cables are fiddly, especially the ones on the head. You will suffer putting those in.

- MY GOD the yellow face vents are super tiny and easily to lose if you drop them. I'm going to have to duplicate the single one I have with epoxy putty.

In the end, though, the RG Exia is pretty even without any painting. Good luck finding one for now, since it seems to be out of stock everywhere.

EDIT:

While I'm at it, I might as well talk about the HG G-Lucifer.

As an HG, this is a much simpler build than the RG Exia. I literally finished snap-fitting and sanding the kit in four hours flat, compared to the RG Exia that took me about three days (spread over the course of about 3 weeks). It is quite a unique-looking feminine design with the three giant bits forming a billowing skirt behind the MS. It reminds me a lot of the Qubeley coupled with the Kampfer's head.

Poseability is alright. I'm a bit disappointed the legs can't turn at the hip since the internal frame there allows rotating movement about its axis. The size of the gap at the end of the shoulder armour is also not large enough or indented enoudh to allow the arm to raise horizontally completely.

The kit comes with an additional pair of hands with fingers that are spread out like in the box artwork. However, the space between the fingers has a thin layer of plastic that makes it look like it has webbed hands. That will need a lot of work and touching up to make it look good.

Last gripe is that it doesn't come with enough beam saber blades to put into all three bits. You only get six standard ones which is enough to fully equip one of the three.

But all that aside, it's a pretty and good kit for the price.

decals printed by Samuel are not pre-cut, those pre-cut are China 3rd party brands

search for Samueldecal in Facebook

HxiiiK

i want...

Ha ha ha. I don't know
But, once 1 side was broken, I was more carefull on the 2nd one.

So far, the kit that think has no accident yet during complete assembly is the MK II.

As per Reix below

Lol ... but only Wing Zero RG that one is precut

However, the quality of those are good compare to previously 3rd party that i ordered >.<

Gotten my gold decal for HGUC Banshee, precut, but yet to apply it, need to do my MG Unicorn 1st, waiting to get the decals hopefully this Sat or next Monday

newbie question: For mark setter as i know i apply on the surface before i put on the water decals to make it stick better. How about mark softer? Do i apply it right after i dry the decal with cloth/cotton bud, or should i wait for it to dry completely?
