Magic Toys MG 1/100 RX-121 Gundam TR-1 [Hazel Custom] Review

After all, this kit of Hazel is currently only assembled by HG Such products, no other similar MG assembled products have appeared. From head to toe, they draw, design, and produce products according to the original settings.

Quality

As far as the panel conditions we have seen, The quality of the manufacturer's products is still excellent. Although the surface of the parts is not mirror-polished, the surface of the parts is still very smooth, and there is no obvious frosted graininess.

Moreover, the parts themselves have a matte feeling, and there is no obvious reflection of the plastic. Personally, I think the effect is really good. Even after a simple prime group, the processing effect is very textured, with no obvious plastic feel. After a simple set of water stickers, you can have very good results.

And this time, the Hazel modification manufacturer also used a lot of technology to hide the nozzle, most of which are concentrated in the outer armor part. Moreover, the positions of the hidden nozzles are designed in some reasonable places, which are quite easy and convenient to handle.

Even if there is no hidden part, the nozzle is designed at the combination or joint point, which is basically invisible. In addition, the manufacturer's material is moderately soft and hard, and the nozzle can be perfectly handled by simply sharpening it with a pen knife.

It does not require a lot of grinding the nozzle position seen in the evaluation is basically cut flat with a pencil knife, without any grinding treatment. which greatly increases the pleasure of the entire production process.

Snapfit

This time the manufacturer has indeed put a lot of effort into the combination degree. In the previous cow head kits, we can still see some places where the combination is relatively tight, but this plastic model kit did not encounter any difficult or tight combination.

The whole process was easy to combine. Based on my experience in domestic model making over the years, there is no domestic kit that can bring Such a smooth combination experience. Really want to give a thumbs up to the manufacturer.

Details

As for the details, the manufacturer is not sloppy at all. The overall details of the kit are very rich. A lot of detail lines have been made on the outer armor (inner wall), inner-frame, and equipment, but in many places, it is because the design is on the inner wall of the parts or where the parts are assembled, but it can still be seen.

However, because of such a large number of detailed textures, the design ignores those more mainstream modeling details, which is a bit single, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment, but after all, it is the first humanoid MS assembly, which is still understandable.

The facial issues that everyone cares about is also clearly stated in this review, because the manufacturer made the eye sockets too deep in the design, which leads to the eyes looking dull when viewed from the front under the condition of no light. Although it is said that it can be seen in the light-emitting state, the problem is the problem.

So this problem has been reported to the manufacturer in the early stage of the evaluation, and the manufacturer’s response is also very fast. To be honest, I fully support the manufacturer’s attitude. Let’s not talk about the quality first. At least in terms of attitude, the manufacturer attaches great importance to their products. It is indeed commendable to respond and revise in time. This practice is really rare for domestic manufacturers.

Movability and Articulation

In terms of mobility, due to the problem of the body setting and the manufacturer's design, there is no extreme mobility can use. Several places have been affected by design problems, such as: waist, legs, arms, etc.. Unfortunately, the skeleton design is not very good, it is a relatively common mg structure, plus the problem of setting. There can't be too much movement. Of course, simple MG-level movement is no problem.

Weaponry and Accessories

In terms of configuration, it is a relatively standard configuration, a rifle, a beamsaber, a pair of movable hands, a pair of modeling hands, two magazines, a small shield, and a large shield. I heard that the reservation will give you an extra rifle. It is to restore the basic configuration.

Summary

This is the review of Magic Toys MG 1/100 RX-121 Gundam TR-1 [Hazel Custom]. To sum up, MagicToys' Hazel modification is still a relatively good kit as a whole, with a high level of composition, details, and quality of parts.

Although the design is still relatively green, there is still more room for improvement, but relatively speaking, it is worthy of recognition for the manufacturer's first humanoid MS assembled product. From the attitude towards the product, the speed of dealing with the problem, and the overall quality of the product.
