SD fans! It’s February, the month of hearts and there is no one better to represent but none other than the “King Of Hearts”, Domon Kasshu!!
His Gundams ofcourse!!
The Shining and God Gundam, are mobile fighters (not mobile suit), featured in the Gundam series Mobile Fighter G Gundam. Different from the usual gundam concept, still both these units gained lots of love from gundam fans. And I love the SD kits they released!!
For this week, SD Dude is gonna review the SD Shining gundam, its generation zero and generation neo release.
Let’s start with the SD Shining gundam Generation Zero.
Its articulation is simple just like any other Generation Zero kits because it is an old release. The hands and arms are fused into a single piece.
As for the gimmicks, it has a few.
The core fighter attaches to become a booster and its cockpit opens and closes.
It also has an extra hand, the Shining Finger mode!!
A beam sword.
And the Shining‘s Battle mode!!
The face armor opens.
The shoulder armor pop out.
As for the details, panel lining will make this kit great.
Now, the SD Shining Gundam Generation Neo is a different story and one of my favorite SD line.
Let see its’ gimmicks!!
It doesn’t have the previous core fighter hatch gimmick, but it still looks good.
The hands have the glowing effect for the Shining Finger mode and it has other extra hands as well.
The sword is upgraded to the Shining Finger sword, well because it is now green and glowing. ^_^
Into the Battle Mode!! Face and shoulder armor opens.
But the best thing about this kit is its’ articulation!
It is simply the best there is! Even compared to recent SD releases. It can even split!!!
Details are fine. The kit already looks good even with out panel lining or painting.
The Generation Zero may be small but it has its cuteness, a few detailing will bring out its worth. The Generation Neo is superb! Its detail and flexibility creates wonderful poses!! Overall, both SD Shining kits are a good addition for your collection.
Next week, Domon’s God Gundam!!
Till the next kit,
SD Dude
