Code Geass Model Kit Guren Type-2 and Vincent

Wanted to update all you ppl earlier, but last week was a bit messy week for me. All the stuff tat i purchase through frens and online all pop up suddenly, causing a total chaos to my room (due to dunno where to place them). Finally now i have got some time to share with you ppl wat i have got.



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).


Stunning box art as well, Bandai getting better doing box-art!


Kallen in action.....The hand of the kit need to used darker color

The standard of this kit is similar with most HGUC kit, colors are not completely molded right but it does come with the pilot but as most Bandai kits, they are molded in one color, how i wish there did it like Kotobukiya SRW series.

The maroon red is really stunning and the PC comes in red



Small Kallen....onli if it was painted....

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.

This is one of the reason why this kit is more expensive than the others Code Geass kits

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).



Mechas of the Code Geass R2 are listed here, will they be produce into model kit?

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.

Yes pooooooooo color

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.

the cool look of Roro, really love the art of the box and manual

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!

I too were hoping for them to bring into Malaysia. But too bad, so now all my Geass kits are online except for the air calvary. My Guren just came few days ago and just placed an order for the new vincent commander type. hehe

Hi there! Very nice blog you have here. How is the construction of the model kits coming along? I've just been hit by Code Geass fever. Looking to get myself a Vincent (because my name is Vincent too. LOL) but I'm a noob at assembling kits. Hope to see some pics of the completed kits :)

I finish snap fitting the Code Geass Lancelot Air Calvary and Guren type 2 so far.
Vincent currently on hold, need to finish my HGUC Zudah then onli start building Vincent!

I would said Vincent gonna be a great kit to collect since the Guren Type 2 was already 90% color accurate (10% deducted for Kallen and Cockpit not color)
