Daban 8804 MG 1/100 MBF-P01-Re2AMATU Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina Review

Finishing

This Daban 8804 MG Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina appearance is basically made according to the Metal Build of the Bandai, and provides two different shades of gold spraying, which makes the details more obvious, and it will not be just a lump of gold at first glance.

The black plate is also spray painted, only the surface, the base color is the normal plastic molding color of matte. The two shades of purple are not provided with spray treatment, and the confused fingers are not separated from the two colors of black and gold, just pure gold fingers.

It is not easy to deal with it if you have to supplement the color yourself. You must first polish off the golden spray paint that needs to be supplemented before you can make it up.

The model does not provide any stickers, and the eyes have been pre-sprayed with metallic blue. The effect is good, and no out of bounds is found. It is the first time that Daban has pre-sprayed the eyes separately.

It is estimated that this method is used because the stickers are not easy to stick. The blue eye on the top of the head and the metallic blue on the back of the head need to be supplemented by the player. Although the golden plate has hidden nozzles, there are several obvious positions that have not been hidden.

The most conspicuous is the position of the heretic wrist, which is very eye-catching, and the prime group is not easy to deal with, which is really regrettable.

However, Daban estimates that due to cost issues, only two gold colors are provided, and the effect is quite good. Except for a few small details, the color is basically separated, and the purple is also separated into two shades according to Metal Build.

The board parts are very clean as a whole, and the black is glossy black close to Metal Build, so the surface painting was chosen. Although the gloss and black purity are not as good as Metal Build, they are very close.

The spray paint is also fair. Due to the relatively thin spray, I did not find any orange peel and paint accumulation. Although the black is spray paint, there is no hidden nozzle, but the original board is also black, so the nozzle is not obvious.

Snapfit

The entire body is newly manufactured, without any Daban Red Astray. Arm has no skeleton, so it cannot achieve full skeleton display. Although this Daban 8804 MG Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina is based on the shape of the Metal Build, it is not as simple as taking the Metal Build apart.

The overall proportion of the Daban 8804 MG Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina has been greatly adjusted. The thighs are very thick. Although this looks relatively compact, it gives a certain degree of visual impact, but if you look closely, you will feel that the proportions are seriously out of balance.

The Daban has basically remodeled the proportions of MG, and the head is big. The chest is wide, the waist and abdomen are elongated, and the legs are elongated. After the transformation, the overall proportion is relatively reasonable, but it also lacks the compact feeling of Metal Build.

In addition to the proportions, Daban also changed the shape of several positions on the outer armor. The Thunderbolt shoulder armor has been added with details, the golden diamond shape on the back of the backpack has also been changed, and the wings are added with two movable parts, making them more domineering when unfolding the wings.

The model provides a water sticker. After a rough look, it is estimated that all patterns of Metal Build can be basically restored after the sticker. The overall color separation is very detailed, basically reaching more than 90% of Metal Build. Because Metal Build has three kinds of gold, two kinds of spray gold and one kind of gold with metal frame.

The overall degree of combination is very good, which is a certain improvement compared to Metal Build Strike Freedom. Because the color separation is too delicate, the head part has as many as 24 parts, which can be described as very abnormal. Some parts such as Vulcan Cannon and The one eye in the middle is also divided into separate pieces.

Because the fingers are too thick and clumsy, these small parts cannot be picked up when combined. It can be installed with tools such as tweezers. According to the very smooth, the only thing to note is that the parts of the chin are easy to fall off, and it is recommended to stick to it. The shoulder armor is installed relatively smoothly, and there is no need to pay attention. The PC parts connecting the arms to the body are a little loose.

It is best to strengthen them here, otherwise it will be difficult for the arms to swing outward when holding the weapon. There is no problem with the arm combination, the joints are a little tight, and it takes some force to bend the arms, which is not a problem.

The combination of the chest and waist is also very good, the waist is very tight, and there is no need to worry about the back of the big backpack. The skeleton of the waist is also very strong. There is nothing to say about the skirt armor, the combination is perfect.

Pay attention to the black outer armor of the knee. Here the knee outer armor is composed of two parts. It is recommended to stick it to death, otherwise the small raised part will easily fall off when posing. When the thigh is bent, there is a linkage structure, but if the thigh is bent too much, there will be a chance that the parts of the knee linking the thigh will detach (not fall off).

Since the joints of the legs are relatively tight, you must pay attention when bending, and bend first. Bend the calf after the thigh, do not bend the entire leg at once. Otherwise the linkage structure may disengage. The toe cap and back root of high-heeled shoes are combined by snap-in, but there is a problem here.

After installation, the toe cap cannot be bent downward, but only upward. If this is the case, the toes of the model will be turned up after the model is loaded with the backpack. Affecting standing also affects aesthetics.

Since it cannot be bent down, I suggest sticking to the movable joint. Weapon mix is not a problem. The arm-mounted long shield spear can be stretched up and down, which is a bit loose here. The three long arrows of shield have no fixed positions.

The first and second arrows are fine, and the third one is easy to fall off. Let's strengthen it yourself. This time, the modeling hands can take up weapons. There is no need for post-transformation, that is, the shrinking position of Blitz Gundam's hand is very eye-catching.

The backpack combination is no problem, the tightness is good. Spread the wings will not fall back. Tensile structures are no problem. There are two more movable positions than the Bandai, which is very good.

Summary

The overall shape of the model is very firm, and it will not easily fall backwards when wearing a backpack. But if you want to thank POSE, it is recommended to put on the stand.

Gold is divided into two shades of color spraying. This is spray plating, not electroplating. The whole board parts are sprayed into the machine, not the traditional method of soaking in the electroplating pool.

There are some exposed water ports, and the wrist position is the most obvious place. The board has shrunk in several places. The most obvious is that the wings have a circular mark, and the black outer armor on the front of the thigh also has a circular mark, which is not very obvious if it is not reflective. The rest of the locations are acceptable.
