SD Gundam Exia Review
I finally started on my SD Gundam Exia which was released a few weeks back and it cost me 570 yen^^. I heard that this SD Gundam Kit was different, and boy it sure was! There were some major changes(in my POV). I finished the kit within an hour(did a little painting) and I did went off for a snack in the middle. Lol.
The parts were extremely easy to remove for some reason. Is it me? Or is it Bandai? XD
If you noticed, the soles of the Gundam Leg are different now, I think. They’re flat, and I hate it! That’s the only complain I have here. Haha. The head was extremely easy to fix, and the ball joints to be used are lessened. Somehow I feel that the base to connect to the legs of the SD Exia are similar to my 1/144 HG Gundam Dynames..
As you can see, I did not do a very good paint job on the body.. This is what happens when you refrain far too LONG from building Gundam Model Kits. -_- But I love his sword! XD Bandai has improved quite a lot on this kit itself, although I feel that they should make the arms of Exia more movable. The joints of his arm is totally fixed there, so the poses I can do with him are very limited.
Oh yeah, time to reserve a copy of the SD 00 Gundam which will be due next month, October! It will retail at a price of 570 yen. Who’s getting one? XD
Despite the fact that many people finds SD Gundam quite ugly, compared to the original ones. The thing is, I love super deformed models XD. Big Heads are teh win! My first SD Gundam was Freedom and Force Impulse from Gundam Seed series. I got Strike Freedom and Destiny later on. I am still looking for the SD Justice though =(. In the picture below are the rest of my SD Family – not all of them are inside the picture XD
Oh yeah Strike Noir from Stargazer is win too.
Before you go, do read up on the post where I wrote the changes I made to the site just hours ago XD
Nendo Gundam :p
He’s cute but like always , i won’t buy any Gundam kit (but i would like to so much) because i like to have my figures finished , i don’t want to have to mount and paint it :’(
Anyway , nice buy , it’s great for a so cheap price :o

Nice. I like SD Gundams too, though they do require painting and inking to look decent …

Haha you hate gundams with flat heels? : P
I haven’t got any SD Gundams but I have a friend who is a fan of it. He even put a Keroro head on a SD Blitz!

@ James: Cheap is good. The real poison begins when you do gundam kits and you collect scaled figurines. I can never find myself balancing towards both. In addition, I buy singles from Japan too -_-. So I have a HUGE hole in my pocket. Haha. But I stopped with Gundam Kits because of my monnnneyyyy T_T. I got the SD Kit because it’s cheap – 570 yen. HAHA XD
@ bluesnow: BUY DESU!
@ samejima: Like to paint, but only afraid I destroy the quality. So I chose to painting parts of it to make it look “suitable” sort of XD
@ Acesan: yes totally agree on that. I didn’t have time to do my markings yet ^^
@ misakichii: Yeah, cute. Down with 1 SD, 2 More SD to go! And my MG Strike Freedom eh =X
@ Q: Because the previous SD Gundams have fat heels. HAHA! My Blitz Gundam is not done yet. I have 2 more to go, 3 HG to go and I MG kit T_T. Help me.

weird looking SD, isn’t the legs suppose to be fatter? or maybe is the lack of armor?
[Reply]
