NX Edgestyle Gundam Astray Red Frame!!

SDfans and samurai fanatics! Before the love month ends, we have a review that’s been over due. The NX Edgestyle Gundam Astray Red Frame, or A.K.A the ARF! The ARF is one of the most popular Gundams, and I don’t even need to tell you why.

Scribed beautifully! Panel lining would be great to add accent.

One flaw would be that the backside of the scabbard is hollow. But I really don’t mind.

Offcourse! you can sheath it.

NX Edgestyle’s proportions gives more range of motion which in return enables more dynamic poses!

Add the ARF comes with some special effects as well!

Just wow!

With a simple but elegant design, its’ articulation is maximized, giving it a very enjoyable feel when you do poses! and with a wicked samurai at that!! If it was a bit more cheaper, I’d buy another one just to play with it till its joints loosens like hell! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Till the next kit,

SD Dude

Now that is an SD fan!!

Q: Do you have a dream SD kit or is there a kit that you really want? Or an SD kit that you hope Bandai would
make?

A: I am still wanting to have that Knight Unicorn from the Legends line, as for the dream kit.. I would like them to
re-create the OZ grunt units of the Wing Series to SD line… how cool will that be!! 😀

Q: To finish things up, how about a word of inspiration to other SD fanatics?

Drew:

Keep building and keep loving SD.. love it not just for the hype but also for the fun it brings during and after building it.

Enjoy Building!

SDnatics! We are back! Sorry if there has been a decline in SD Gunpla reviews. Well, we  were busy, moving to our new home, here at 2bottles.net. There are still a few tweaks that needs to be done, but finally we can go back to doing our stuff. Hope you like our new home. There are other things here besides gunpla to keep you busy as well as entertained. We will be adding a few features here as well. So look forward to it!

Till the next kit,
