Since i always buy bootleg's MG because cheap (You can get MG with HG price if it's a bootleg) then this is the first time i buy the original one, BANZAI!...ups BANDAI! i bought this when there was an event to celebrate independence day, almost every stores in mall in my place have "buy 1 get 1 free" including Hobby Store ^_^ so i told my cousin to buy one whatever it would be as long as gundam model because there was crowded and i wasn't there at that time. in the end i got zaku II thunderbolt and HGUC gelgoog for free.
The box tell you the look if the model fully assmbled with decals and repainted. there is pose capability as well.
Instructions and description about the model in full japanese language, for most of people don't fully understand. if you ever buy bootleg ( for me, Hongli) and take a look at instructions and description, there is an ENGLISH TRANSLATE under chinese language. this is the first bandai that i buy so don't judge me bad ^-^
So this is why bootleg can't win.... Bandai runner has better quality in the plastic and molds producing solid parts without defects. in zaku II thunderbolt, the parts has great details and you get 3 sets of palm action, 1 axe, 1 machine gun, 1 bazooka,and backpack with 1 fuel tank. but i disappointed with only i ammo machine ammo and also ...
you can look there is joints like this but in these runners i don't see anything like this. maybe its too small so it is too dificult to be made, but i really happy for what i have got. Arigatou gozaimasu Bandai.
About the decal set, can't say much.....very good quality ^-^ also you get zeonic decal set for free.
well this is end of the review out of box. if i have much time i will build this thing up ^-^ and show you this mono-eye man. see ya!
