wow.. the PG Phenex look awesome!! I never buy any bootleg gundam before... mind sharing how do you guys usually get yours? Direct order from china or through third party locally?

btw what it means by HDcolored ?

Ok Noted. Much better than mirror finish.. Hope Daban coating is even... Just ordered mine... can't wait for my first "PG"

Oh my god. you guys are so fast. I havent got the time to collect mine yet. Please review... How is the coating finish?

Want to ask advice from those who has built Daban PG Phenex/unicorn , is it really difficult to assembly the unicorn head? The one that connect the back head piece with the upper head piece... I spend whole night still couldnt figure out ... I check video of ppl assembly d bandai one.. it seems to be able to "click" in place easily.. and hold firmly. But I hv no luck and a bit worry my led cable will broken if I keep forcing it..

If you superglue it, does it mean you won't able to transform the head already?

I finally manage to get all the pieces in place just now... this is really the most frustrated experience I had with any model kit But luckily manage to solve it... I disassemble every pieces, and test fit one by one, sand a few parts (not sure it actually helps or not), and putting the part back in reverse sequence... and finally sort it out after struggling for hours.. Putting the led wiring all around making it even harder to work with... I hope other parts wont be as complicated as the head.

But really quite sexy after finish... this is my first unicorn & a first pg, so really an interesting experience

I thought I solved it, but when I transform the head, the pieces came falling apart...So I take your advice and cut off the part... and now it is much much easier to install.



Look like I will end up keeping it in Destroy mode too... Not that I dislike Unicorn mode, but seems like I am about to break a lot of parts. I actually broke the small shoulder thing that needs to pop out when transform to Destroy mode. So Now I will have to super glue it in place.... which means I cant change it to Unicorn mode anymore....



First time I superglue it, and realise the position i glued are wrong and the transformation couldnt close perfectly. I force open the part again, and use the technique mf_yamato recommend... and I think it works now.. But Seriously transformation is a nightmare waiting for parts to be broken... I wonder if this will happen to original Bandai?

I need some guide here with my Daban PG Phenex.. I almost want to crash and throw the whole kit away....

I am building the kit with LED, so assembly is a bit complicated.. Now I try to put the whole shoulder & arms into the torso.. but even with elephant strength, I couldn't get it to goes in. Is this a common problem with the kit? I tried both left & right joints, also same. I couldn't really see what is going internally , so I can't figure out which area it stucks at, and which part I should sand it down for it to works.

Any advice? I will not even be thinking about transforming it once I am done with this kit. It does look very good.. I just hope there is no disastrous damage before I finish it:(

Thanks.. I manage to sand it and fit just fine now. I just want to make sure I didn't make a mistake while assembly the parts inside the shoulder .

Can someone advice me on Daban Pg Phenex , the legs ankle parts is impossible to fit in ( POM 4 into Q10) I have tried sand it down a bit , and even putting pom4 into hot water hoping it to expand and fit in. Both sides have no luck . I wonder if anyone face similar issue or is it smthing I hv done wrong . What’s the solution ? I’m stuck at this step !!
