Bandai Hobby - Gundam UC - Sinanju (Animation Color) MG 1/100 Model Kit

This is by far the most solid kit i have ever build, period. You may have a choice between this and the ver. Katoki, but the OVA version has a more solidly designed waist and includes a terrific extra weapon(more on that later) The completed main body is very solid, all its limbs stay perfectly in place, and its has great overall mobility. Though the ver. katoki comes with much more stickers and decals, the OVA version comes with enough spare ones for you to use to give it a great amount of depth. The Shield lacks the usual sort of clips that would normally attach to the upper arm, ironic considering how easily the arm could support it. Rather, the shield attaches to the shoulder through a third arm with a slight brace attaching to the upper arm. Though i don't like this, it has also never caused any issues. The Shield is incredible as it can not only hold either of the Beam cannons optional attachements, but can also the sinanju's incredible beam tomahawk in its drawn state by design. This looks very imposing. The Sinanju OVA has a both a very nice Beam Cannon, but unique to this version also a Hyper Bazooka, which can attach either to the shield or the Beam Cannon. In its combined state the Beam Cannon/Bazooka is an enormous and imposing weapon. But most interestingly, the Sinanju can hold this weapon with ease ( i didn't even have to use the weapon clip in the palm of its hand for fear of wearing it out) The Bazooka looks great by itself, but you can also attach it to the shield. The Beam Cannon has an additional weapon tube attachment that you attach in lieu of the Bazooka, or attach to the Shield as well. The options are endless and it is simply one of the best kits i have ever build

Sinanju ver. ova is easily one of the best master grades. It comes packed with accessories, the build is interesting and lengthly and the completed model is truly a marvel to behold. From its larger than average size to its intricate and angular design and spectacular level of detail, the sinanju emanates quality in every respect. All parts fit together with precision and nothing is loose. The joints are a bit stiff but articulate fluidly, meaning that sinanju has no problems bearing its own weight and weapons. Its definitely back heavy, but by adjusting the hips to a forward position, the model stands firm and secure. It has a large number of accessories. Admittedly, a few weapon options are difficult to pull off, like getting it hold the massive (when combined) beam cannon, but there are so many different weapon combinations that you're bound to find something interesting that works. All sinanju's multiple accessories can be stored or equiped at the same time so that nothing really gets put off to the side or in a box. The model has many gimmicks like beam saber hilts that can be stored in the forearms, adjustable thrusters on the legs and a jetpack that converts to flight mode with a sliding mechanism. The accessories are also loaded with gimmicks themselves and a good portion of the manual is devoted to detailing the various combinations. The kit also includes 2 full sets of gold markings (water slides and sticker type) so you can choose which method you want. This was a great feature, as I began with the water slides (and failed badly - they are very fragile) then switched to the sticker option and applied the decals with much more ease. These are high quality stickers that, if you line up properly, you are left with a precise fit and hardly any seam lines. Of course it would be better if it had gold parts, or pre-painted parts like some kotobukiya kits, but for decals, they are good ones. In general, sinanju ver. ova is one of the best master grades around in terms of design, quality and fearures. It's no wonder why its in most peoples' top five kits, mine included.

I've assembled many MGs and PG gundams so far, and Sinanju is one of my favorite. Design, assembly, value, quality, they are all great. The only minor issue I found with it is the big cannon's grip is not that stable. But don't let such trivial issue stop you from getting this beautiful masterpiece. I personally like Sazabi's design a bit more, but I still rate this gundam higher than it due to literally everything else.

Ok, I hate to do this to what came out to be a beautiful machine but ........... This kit has some issues. Truthfully, it only lost half a star for this but its issues can be detrimental to the kit its self. 1st issue - the wrists on this kit are sorely in need of polycaps or some other strengthening method. They flop around and don't stay in place at all half the time. 2nd issue - (and one I'm hitting hard for) the hands on this kit can't hold the gun at all. between the wrists falling and the connector peg not being long enough, the beam rifle and the combined beam bazooka rifle fall from the hands of this kit. It can hold the beam axes and sabers very well, and with the right posing, can hold the bazooka. But as for the signature beam rifle, if you want it holding it prep some super glue -.- 3rd issue - (and for me the minor issue of the 4) the connector for the shield. Because of the shield's weight and size, the connector is inefficient and will have to be fought with to get it to the arm. The slightest touch can (and has for me) knock the shield clear off the kit. How they have it in the production pics is hanging from a hidden connector in the shoulder armor. 4th issue - there are NO polycaps in this kit. This has actually led my kit to buckle under its own weight and fall at least once Now all in all this kit is amazing when it comes together and is worthy of being on your shelf with the rest of your gunpla. It gets a 10 of 10 rating for its looks but these 4 issues can reek havoc with the over all display-ablity of the kit.

The Sinanju MG is a fantastic kit! It looks so good finished right out of the box, and if youre into customizing your gunpla this kit is primed for extra detailing and painting. I would say if you have never built a MG or if youre just getting into gunpla maybe save this kit for later down the road. It does have a lot of pieces and I would say this kit is better suited for builders with a little experience. Although newbies shouldn't have any issues, as long as you pay close attention!! Also, be careful when assembling the waist joint. Mind a soft touch. Its known to break if rushed.

This figure is well worth the money. Not much protection was in the box to protect the item durring shipping but all in all it got here okay. This figure is exactly as described. Its very cool and the detail is highly one of the best ive seen in a very long time. This thing will take a very long time to build so get ready for an all day event. At least for me it is- it says master grade, it means delicate parts and small anoying stickers and verry intracite detail. But one thing I like about this figure is no glue no paint. Its a pritty big figure and will take time and consintration to compleate. Intructions are not too difficult to figure out being in a different language, just match one symbol to another and your good. Its fun and addicting. Once you get started you cant stop, little breaks in between are advised.

Whatever you do make sure that if you're buying this kit it specifically states that it's the "Anime color version" or "version Anime" I do not recommend buying the ver ka unless you have a very specific reason to buy it. This version of the mg 1/100 sinanju is the best possible version and it solves a lot of joint issues and gripes with other iterations of the MS. It also to my surprise came with metallic gold waterslide decals for the trim on the sleaves parts This seller was prompt and packed my kit very neatly and snugly it arrived without issue. And I would definitely purchase from them again in the future.

Fast shipping. Box in perfect condition. AWESOME KIT! Newbie to Gunpla. This was my third kit and I am very impressed with its detail and size. It looks huge compared to my previous build which was the MG Deathscythe Hell EW. Despite having more pieces, more runners, much trickier decal application , this kit took me less time to build than Deathscythe. The more you build ,the easier it gets. Im addicted. Currently trying to decide on my next one. Got my eye on Red Frame Astray Mg kit. Looks real nice.
