Robot Damashii Extreme Gundam (Type Leos) Xenon Face Review
(quite the title isn't it?)
After all those exam and horrible weather, now i'm back with review. Damashii again this time because i really like messing around with them :p . and i have new setup for light. its not perfect but it is i think better than last time so let's jump in!
Introduction:
The Extreme Gundam Zenon Phase(エクストリームガンダムゼノンフェーズ) is the variant of Extreme Gundam Leos Type. The unit were featured in Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. Full Boost arcade game and Gundam EX A manga series. The unit is piloted by Leos Alloy.
(i'm still not quite sure its Zenon or Xenon (the box says Xenon) and is it Phase or Face (once again, the box says Face) i'll just call it Xenon Face.
There is actually another version of it, being the original one that appears also in the 1st gundam extreme VS game (the type leos appear in the second game Gundam Extreme VS Full Boost) and it was blue instead of red. but i'm not gonna talk to much about it now, and focus for this one first.
~OVERVIEW~
Figure Detail :
Manufacturer : Bandai
Line : Robot Spirit / Robot Damashii
Type : SIDE MS
Name : Extreme Gundam (Type Leos) Xenon Face
The proportion and detail really spot on, and the clear orange really looks good. my problem is the usual RD problem that is some visible seamline and couple of nubmark shown. This figure comes packaged in Xenon Face but i'll just start with normal mode for the sake of showing the articulation...
~ARTICULATION~
Usual articulation for the head and arms.
Really good torso bend. unfortunately mine is rather loose
He no longer have extra joint that lets you move the hips up and down.
He actually also have an ankle tilt but the ball joint is really stiff, i'm afraid to break it if i move it too much.
So overall the articulation is pretty good, although some parts are either too loose or too tight so just be careful if you move it around.
~ACCESSORIES~
Most of his accessories are armor part that make up the Xenon Face, but there also some that're not such as...
2 beam saber with its blade, and total of 8 hands (2 equipped with the figure), and action base connector
And here is the armor parts and extra clear yellow piece that i'll explain later.
so overall not many accessories comes with this guy, but at least the armor makes up for it.
~ARMOR EQUIPED~
The armor connect in very interesting way, and the result is a very solid and coll loking armored mobile suit
FULL ON MODE (or whatever it called)
~ACTION!~
I HAVE THE POWER!!!
Conclusion:
Pros
+ Good proportion
+ Good articulation
+ Solid Figure even with the armor attached
Cons
- Couple of quality issue
- Some joint is either too loose or too stiff
- Small amount of accessories
So overall this figure is quite good. Could have been better though, especially in accessories. although there is a sort off upgrade or add-on forthis guy to make other version for him. But sadly those thing was exclusive and cost a lot more than the figure itself. So thats about it, thanks for reading :)
