Last week the items tat arrive at my place are Code Geass Model Kits Guren type-02, Roro's Vincent, MG Unicorn Novel vol.4 with gatling gun, Conversion kit Zeta Gray Wolf, and Nightingale. I will start with the Code Geass Kit first.
As for all that are local Malaysian, you should know by now our faithful local Bandai distributor, did not import any of the Code Geass Model kit, making it unavailable to the local Code Geass fans, I was also disappointed with their poor marketing strategy, they should have push this items into market while the anime was so hot worldwide.
Now lets start with Kallen's Guren Type-02, the box-art is terrific but the images on the first page of the manual is more stunning! It makes me want to collect them (lol and this is unusual i usually throw all boxes away).
This Kallen's Guren Type-02 is also the first Code Geass kit that came with a stand, the stand is similar to those Gundam Seed HG kits. You can mount ur Guren with Lancelot to do a fighting scene.
Now comes Vincent! You saw the anime and you will notice Vincent is just a simple kit with no extraordinary weapons, the reason for its godness is becoz of the pilot's Geass power (making him invisible if fighting in close range, i think he can even pawned Suzaku and Kallen).
Similar like the Lancelot kit i bought earlier, it has those "poo" looking yellowish color to replace its gold color! Unless you are going to buy the coated version or else you will have to paint the thing yourself.
This kit is also the first Code Geass R2 model kit, you will see the word R2 in the box part! The box-art and the manual book art is really stunning! It is even better than Kallen, and Roro does give you some cold blooded look! Like it really much.
Same as Lancelot and Guren Type-02, it does come with a Roro small figure. But it overall it does look better than the Lancelot (maybe becoz this kit was made 2 year later than Lancelot).
Mhmmn the Red seems to have metalic effect like Armored Core Kits
And now who is gonna paint this small person again.....
Ok that all for the simple review on the code geass model kits, later will have a section on my working in progress Lancelot, currently is 30% finish, need to finish snap fit it and AB it together!
