-You start carving wooden pencils to the shape of the Hinu and start lining it..
-You keep staring at edison's sales page waiting for updates on the hinu...
-You keep visiting edison's sales page and ask "Is it here yet?" every few hours
-You keep surfing everywhere on the internet for info about the Hinu
-You keep window shopping at shops elsewhere for the Hinu and stare at the price and tell yourself.. "Just wait a few more days..."
-You come up with a list of "Signs to watch out if you're addicted to the Hinu" (This list)

The weight of the backpack is a major issue with the blue frame. The puny joint at the back of the torso simply cannot support the pack, unless it is left hanging downwards due to its weight. Besides, the circular joints holding the blades are too weak to support the blades when it's being extended. Play around with the transformation often and the joints will wear out and become loose, causing the blade wings to droop downwards if you try to lift it and leave it there.

Due to the weak joints of the backpack, I have to stick an eraser beneath the pack to make the gatling point backwards instead of downwards when posing in a flying/charging stance. Check out the pics in my gallery and you'll get what I mean.

Apart from that, the Blue Frame is also very hard to pose in menacing looks. Granted, it has the articulate Astray frame, but the bulky shoulder armor restricts arm movements a lot, and most irritating thing is the heavy backpack. The hands can never wield the giant blade in slashing poses (I broke the hand pegs while fiddling with it one too many times), while it looks seriously weird if it is transformed into the gatling turret.

The best pose for it is still the aforementioned charging pose... I think Stardust in Sg Wang has a Red Frame 2nd L which is displayed in this manner, if you get the idea.

Meanwhile, more and more HiNus coming up in this thread... Hurry up guys, can't wait to see your works.

this zaku pose looks kinda awkward. it seems the front skirt armors have been downsized a bit. i wonder if the added flexibility is enough to convince me to buy it...

here's my MG Hi-nu, just the head, torso and 1 arm are done
