LunaMariaHawksCustomGunnersAkuWarriorisThisis a brandnewmastergrade, andit's a prettyinterestingbuild.
I'vegot a lotofthoughtsthat I wanttoshareyouguysabouttheactualbuildingprocessandhow I thinkthator I have a theoryafterbuildingatthat.
I reallyfeellikethisismaybewasoriginallydesignedtobeinour E 100 kitsandthenlateronorsomewherealongtheline, theydecidedtojustmakeit a fullonmastergrade.
Reallygetthatfeeling, and I'llexplainmoreaboutthatlateron.
How I feellikethisiskindoflikeequalpartsMastergradeandAri, sowe'lltalkmoreaboutthatlater.
Haveyougotthisbagelsheetofstickermarkings, which I used a coupleofthem.
Butyouhave a tonofthemontherejustmarkingstickersafterlogosandotherdifferentgunners, akaWorrylogos, aswellassomecautionmarkingsandstripingbitsthatgoaroundontheirbuttasyou'llseefromtheonesthat I putonhere.
Forthatandforthehandoptionsforthisguy, we'regonnahave a swappablefingers.
So, likewith a lotofmastergradesthesedays, you'rejustgoingtoswapoutthefingers.
Sowe'vegot a setofclothes.
Thisthereyoualsohave a setofextendedfingersformakingopenhandsisthatofholdinghandsforholdingontothemaxandthen a setoftriggerfingerhandsforholdingontogunsandeachofthehandsyouhavebothleftandrightsetsforthose.
Thenwehavethebeamassaultrifle.
Now I gottasay, I dokindoflikethechangesthey'vemadetothedesignofthisthatmadeitlook a littlebitmorebulky, a littlemoresubstantial.
Youcanjustturnthatpieceoninsidetheirmanuallytorotatethemano y offtooneside.
Soeventhoughthemasqueradetopointowes, Akuhasthebuiltingimmickwherewhenyouturnthehead, themano y turnsrightalongwiththat, youdon't havetotakeanythingofffor a parttodo.
So, fortunately, unfortunately, theycouldn't incorporatethatgimmickintothiskidaswellasforABCrunch.
Wedohave a littlebityoucanbendupforwardtothereandbacktotheiralsosidetoside.
Itdoeshave a littlebit, notreally a wholelotandjustsortofseehereyoucansortofgetitofftotheside a littlebit.
I wastestingandthisoutwhenitwasjusttheFranks.
I wasjustbuildinguptheframefirstbeforeputtingthearmIran, andthen I couldnoticethatdidhave a littlebitofsidetosidemovement.
We'renotreallyallthatmuch.
Doeshave a littlebitofrotationhere, justsidetoside a littlebitlikethat, basicallylikekindof 45 degrees, notreallyevenallthatmuch, theycan't reallyrotateitallthatmucharound.
Guessifyoupopitupofftheballdown a littlebit, get a littlebitmoreofftotheside.
Thestomacharticulationisnotthatgreat.
Let's goupheretotheshoulders.
Thesewillfoldouttothefrontlikethat.
Prettynice.
Thejointfortheshouldersisverysimple.
It's notreallyallthatcomplicatedatall.
It's, youknow, I'veseenmorecomplicatedshoulderjointson a highgrade, tobehonest, butanyway, itworks.
Asfortheriskswehave, Ah, boldjointconnectionandthen a hingehereatthebaseofthehands.
That's prettynicetohavenicemovementthere.
Thethumbison a balljoint, andaswesawbefore, thefingersaretooswappable.
Onething I wanttopointouthereonthearmaswell, isthissteamlinepointnumbertwo, forwhythisisdoesn't seemlike a brandnewmaster.
Gradeis a coupleofsteamlinesthatithasn't it.
Sohereontheshoulder, thisthere's a seamlinedownthemiddleoftheseparts.
I'm sorry, nottheshoulder, buttheupperarmseamlinedownthemiddleoftheseupperarmpartsisjust a frontbackpieceofsandwichtogetherveryeasily I thinkcouldhavebeenjust a singlepiecethatjustslidesdownoverthetopofthat.
We'veseenthatdonewithotherkidsbefore.
I thinkitreallycouldhavebeendoneinthiscase, Butitwasn't asfortheforearm, theformissfourpiecesfronthimbackandthentosideonesthatallgotogethertomakeitsothere's nosteamontheforearm.
That's reallygood.
Howthosepartsgotogether.
I don't knowwhytheycouldn't figureout a differentwaytomakethisonegotogether.
Betterwithout a seammindonthemiddleofit.
I wasrealquickthen, Whilewe'reonthetopic, I'lljustmoveddownheretothelegs, andwehaveseenminehereonthesideofthethighsupbelow.
Thisconnectedparthereandthenontheinsideofthelowerlegcanseethattheseamlinetherebetweenthefrontandbackhalfofthelowerlegarmor, thislittlebitof a seamthereaswell.
Sonot a lot.
I mean, thesteamlinesthatithas.
It's just a couplelittleones, buttheyallseemliketheycouldhaveverywellbeenavoided, especiallyfortheirengineering.
Soagain, justseemskindoflazy, oryoujustneedtothepartsherefortheventtobepurple, Butthatcouldhavebeen a separatepartandthenstillkeepthemainbackofthisparthere, hereinblack, I thinkiftheyreallywantedto, theycouldhaveseparatedthatlikethat.
Soanklemovementisprettynice, although I willsaywhilemostofthekiddoesfeelverysolid, itsconstruction, theankleisonepointthatdoesfeel a littlebitlesssolid.
Soitcouldbe a problem, especiallybecausetheankles, asyoumayknow, is a is a commonweakpoint.
A lotofkids, iftheanklesnotstrong, it's makesposingthekid.
Andthat's anysortofstandingpost.
Verydifficult, bustling.
Given a finalactionbased, itwon't be a problem.
Uh, I don't thinkit's gonnabe a bigissue, butitdoesfeel a littlebitweakerthantherestofthekid.
Overallupdate.
Defeat.
Youhavenicedetail.
Thereisjust a solidpiece, though, sodefinitelydoing a littlebitofpaintingonthatcouldhelpbringhousefromthosedetails.
Onething I noticedaboutthepartswhen I wasjustgettingreadytoputthekidtogether, and I wasjustcuttingoutallthepartswasonlythingthat a lotofthepartsfeltthicker, feltheavierthanusual, and I wasworriedaboutthat, creatingweightissues.
So I'm notreallygonnacountingthattoomuchagainstthat.
Butitdoesjustbepretty.
Youdohave a lotofseaminesonthoseweaponsaswell.
Soyoutakeintoconsiderationallthepointsthat I mentionedsofarabouthowthisseemssimilartoanRD 100 kit.
I wouldsaythelastpointtopointoutisjusttheoverallstyleofthis, theoveralldesignofthedetailonit, intheinboxingandbefore, before I evengotthekid, I wasthinkingthatitwasstyledverysimilarlytothefreedomtopointout.
Buttheconstructionisvery, verydifferent.
Thefreedomofthefreedomtopointoutmastergradekitis a verydetailedkidsinsideandouthas a verydetailedandverycarefullyconstructedinterframe.
Thisonelike I said, verysimpleinnerframe.
Sothestylingoutsideis a littlebitsimilarandjustthewaythatthey'vekindofmadeitdifferentfromhowitlookedintheanime.
So I thinkinthatwayit's sortofsimilartothefreedomtopoint.
Butotherwise I thinkthewaythatthisisdetailedinthedesignofthedetailsontheexteriorarmorandeverythinglooks a lotmoreinlinewithsomeofthingslikewe'veseenfromtheRD 100 kitsliketheHamaHamaortheKadagaKits.
SothatisthelastpartthatreallymakesmefeellikethiswasmaybeoriginallydesignedistobeanRD 100 kit, butitseemslikewhatthey'redoingwith a lotoftheoneonherwiththeAreYouonmarketslatelyistheyliketopairthereleaseswith a masturbatorreleased.
So, like, forexample, wehadtheareyou 100 bigNo, GeenacomeoutatthesametimeasthemasterGrade F 91 to 2 pointOK, similarly, aroundthesametimewehadthemastergrade.
Itneededalmostanentireinnerframeanyway, thattheythought, Whydon't wejustfinishoffthewholeinterframeforthewholekitandjustcallit a mastergrade?
Andthatreallyseemslikewhathappenedwiththis?
Soobviously, I can't sayforsure.
I don't haveanyinsidecontactsatVanDyketosaythatwithanycertainty, butjustfrommyexperience, and I'vebuilt a lotofkidsasyouguysknow, itjustreallyfeelstomelikethiswasn't alwaysmaybeimmensetobemasturbate, oratleastitwasnevermeanttobe a masterthere.
Thepointthat I almostforgotabouttoAnotherpointaboutthisisthat a lotofthemastergradeswe'veseenoverthepastcoupleyearshaveincorporatedthisreallycooldetail, wherethey'llhavethelittlebitsoftheinnerframeshowingthroughthearmorsothathavelittletinybitsofarmorcutoutwheretheframewillbeshowing.
Yousee, likelittlegreybitsoftheframethat'llpokeoutthroughthearmoryouseen, especiallywith, liketheAlec's stupid I knowthe F 91 topointnoevengoingbacktothefreedomtopointoutonceagainthathaditaswell.
Nowgranted, thoseareallmasqueradetopointoutkids, whichareusuallyheldto a littlebithigherstandardthanjusttheregularmasterguidelines.
Andso I thinkifyou're a fanofthisdesigningyouthinkthatitlooksgood, then I wouldsaybyallmeansgoforit, checkitoutifyou're a fanofthemastergradelineandyoulikethembecauseoftheirMaurintricateconstruction, andyouliketobeabletositdownwiththemodelandspend a lotmoretimebuildingitratherthanlikehighgradethatyoucouldnormallyputtogetherin a muchshorteramountoftime, thenyoumightnotlikethefactthatthisoneisgoingtogotogetherand a matterof a couplehours.
It's justsimplymyobservationsthat I wantedtosharewithyouguysthatbeamorinformedaboutwhattoexpectifyoudowanttogivethekitforyourselfornot.
So I thinkthekidisgreat.
It's a fantastickidoverall, and I'm lookingforwardtotheinevitable P Bandaivariationsofthat.

I'm lookingforwardtothat.
