Daban 8822, Master Grade Gundam Quanta / Qan [T] released by daban with full saber and Quantum Burst accessories. Priced at around USD 35, is the Daban 8822 sufficient for collection? let's listen to the review.

Daban 8822 Quality

Some of the parts obtained experience imperfections in the printing process, causing defects in parts and quite disturbing the manufacturing process.

Daban 8822 Content Set and Accessories

Daban 8822 Content Set

Daban 8822 MG Gundam 00 Qan [T] is quite complete in terms of general parts. Because in the packaging apart from Body Unit Qan [T] and also GN-Shield, there are also GN-Sword IV and GN-GunBlade as well as supporting accessories to turn them into Quantum Burst.

In addition, there is also a standbase that complements the entire process of changing the MG Daban 8822 00 Qan [T]. For accessories, part of the Quantum Burst is also provided with a backup part if something happens to the core part. However, it is only available in a different color to the required color, gray. And what's more fun, the Daban 8822 is equipped with the latest daban Led Unit, even though it only illuminates the chest GN-Drive section.

Daban 8822 Snapfit

For the bootleg model kit gundam (gunpla), especially the Daban model, the snapfit is sometimes quite smooth and sometimes there is also a very hard and loose one. And this is indeed repeated in this Daban 882. Some of the snapfits will feel quite hard when put on, and for that a little sandpaper / thinning is needed on the male / female parts.

Yep, back to Quality Control and Check problems from Daban Model, sometimes they are not careful enough to check the completeness of a part. In Daban 8822 MG Gundam Qan [T], there are defective parts that need special handling to make it look normal. Namely, add a little part of the runner and then glue it on this defect.

The joined parts are hand-joined using the same type as MG Qan [T] Bandai, namely with the sleeve poking into the arm.

And yep, finally for the snapfit, Daban 8822 MG Gundam 00 Qan [T] Full Saber from Daban This model is also not very snapfit in some parts, it still looks loose in some snapfit when assembled, the same problem that happened to the previous Daban Model releases.

Daban 8822 Paint Finish

Daban 8822, MG Gundam 00 Qan [T] This Full Saber adapts a metallic gray color on the inner frame which makes a pretty good alloy impression. For his own armor, Daban uses a metallic red, a blue that is a little closer to the MG Quanta Bandai blue, and a clear bluish green which is a bit smudged.

In Quantum Burst, the gold colored accessories are given a metallic gold color which is quite strange in my opinion, its looks very clear like yellow metallic plastic.

Daban 8822 Articulation

So far, the articulation of the Gundam 00 series especially Setsuna's Gundam has been extraordinary. Moreover, the articulation in the legs. MG Gundam 00 Qan [T] also has a very flexible articulation, especially in the legs. However, considering this is a bootleg, it's no wonder that the frequent poses will loose the joint of the articulation.

Daban 8822 Detail

The Daban 8822 took the Metalbuild 00 Qan [T] Bandai concept which was later converted into a model kit. For that, don't expect the Daban 8822 to have a cockpit and a pilot, yes, because the Metalbuild concept always doesn't have a pilot in it. However, for the details as a mobile suit that is slightly tapered than the Bandai kit design, the Daban 8822 is pretty cool to collect.

Daban 8822 Runner Pieces

Work In Progress Daban 8822

The conclusion, according to me personally, is that at a price of around USD 35, this Daban 8822 is not really worth collecting, especially considering that there are quite a lot of defect parts and also a snapfit that is not really snapfit-snapfit. Just for the completeness and accessories, I give it a really thumbs up, because all the Gundam 00 Qan [T] modes are really complete so far. So, I can say that the overall value of Daban 8822 MG 1/100 Gundam 00 Qan [T] Full Saber is 7 points.
