MG Testament Dragon Momoko or commonly abbreviated as Dramok, was released earlier than the Bandai Testament, about 2-3 years earlier. The first time it was released, the MG Testament Dragon Momoko was valued at 30-40USD, but after a shortage occurred due to the closure of the factory, MG Testament jumped up to the price of 50USD.

So what are the basic differences between the two MG Testament model kits?


1. Price MG Testament

MG Testament Premium Bandai


For price comparison, the MG Testament Premium Bandai tends to be more expensive than the MG Testament Dragon Momoko. MG Testament Premium Bandai was released at a price of around 55USD, but due to the limited label it carries, MG Testament Premium Bandai can reach 70USD when it arrives at a local seller.

As for the Dramok MG Testament, it is arguably a fairly rare model kit at this time so that the price is not much different from the Bandai MG Testament Premium. Initially this Dramok MG Testament was priced at 30-40USD for the first time released, but until now it has reached a price of 50USD. Even so, the Dramok MG Testament is still cheaper than the Bandai MG Testament Premium.

2. Color Scheme MG Testament

The MG Testament Premium Bandai has an Inner Frame color that tends to be black, while the Dramok MG Testament has a brownish inner.

The chest of the MG Testament Premium Bandai has a bright yellow part that Dragon Momoko's Testament doesn't have.

In the MG Testament Dramok, Duotone Red is clearly shown with a red color 1 and 2 which are very different, while in the Testament Premium Bandai has almost similar Duotone Red. However, the placement of the duotone red color scheme is quite the same, only different on the shoulders, where Dragon Momoko uses a darker red.


3. AccessoriesMG Testament

MG Testament Dragon Momoko gets 2 types of handguns in the sales package, so the handguns that are obtained are 4 pcs. Unlike the MG Testament Premium Bandai which only got 2pcs handguns. However, Premium Bandai bundled their MG Testament using a red Standbase that matched their armor.

Apart from that the completeness is almost similar to the Testament Premium Bandai and Dragon Momoko.


4.  Quality MG Testament

As we all know, Bandai is still the supplier of the best quality plastic model kits so far. Yep, in this segment I can confirm that the plastic quality and snapfit of MG Testament Premium Bandai is much better than MG Testament Dragon Momoko.

The quality of the MG Testament Dragon Momoko is the same as the bootleg in general, it's a bit harsh and sometimes some of the snapfits don't fit between 1 and the other. So, it takes a lot of effort to assemble it.


5. Molding MG Testament

Well, the basic difference between the two MG Testament is in this segment. MG Testament Bandai traces the original design of the manga / anime base from the Mobile Suit itself, so that it seems flat and also clean from curves. Meanwhile, MG Testament Dragon Momoko is more inclined towards metal build design, so that we can find more fierce details in this dramok Testament.

For those who like metal build details, there is nothing wrong with collecting MG Testament from this dramok, and for those who like manga base design, MG Testament from Premium Bandai is the solution.

Apart from the shape of Dramok which tends to be similar to the metal build design, the shape of each part is quite different from one another. For example, the chest armor part of Bandai tends to go upward, while Dramok tends to decrease downward.

The leg part of the Bandai Testament has higher heels than that of Dramok, and Dramok's legs are more macho than Bandai's. For this leg part, I personally prefer Dramok, and I don't know what I have in mind Bandai Premium makes quite high heels for this Testament, even though the user is a male. ha ha ha. And also if you look carefully for this part of the leg, it looks more like Dramok to the manga drawing.

Oh yes, the last one, like the other MG Dragon Momoko, the MG Testament dramok doesn't have a Cockpit while Bandai does.

Well, that was my review, how do you choose which one?
