MG W Mini-review

Finished the MG W this morning, I’m not gonna go too in-depth with these reviews, but this was a pretty nice kit and very fun to build all things considered. Oh boy, did this thing give me some trouble...nothing major, but they were more like minor annoyances. As stated in my pervious blog entry, the pegs on the arm socket ended up snapping on me, fortunately it wasn’t a big problem, the armor hugged around the socket tight enough so that it doesn’t move around.

Secondly, the fingers...my god, the fingers are a PAIN to put on, I ended up loosing one of the fingers a couple of times, and there tiny pieces so finding them was easier said then done. After all that trouble though...I really, really dig this model kit! It has a few tricks and details that the S.H.Figuarts doesn’t such as the working W Driver and the removable Gaia Memories, the detailing on something so small as the Gaia Memories really impress me, and I’m in love with the mini-W Driver. The stickers are a bit of a pain to put on, and they don’t adhere very well, so you might wanna keep a glue stick handy. 

You can choose to paint this kit of you so choose, but really this thing looks pretty damned good right out from the box. 

In conclusion: If you’re a fan of W there’s no reason why to pick this up, even if you already own the S.H.Figuarts this model kit is just...gorgeous. The build itself isn’t really all that difficult, but I would advice treating it delicately as parts CAN break on this thing. All in all, a very nice model kit. 

You can purchase this model kit from HobbyLinkJapan, though if you have any stores near you that sell model kits, might wanna check there first:
