hi im newbie here

[gollum3]

Gollum poor. Gollum cant afford ORIGINAL toys. Gollum like broken toys and china gundams. Gollum like china gundams because their pegs not synchronize with the holes and whole lot of other challenges. Gollum prefer china gundams because original gundam use breakable ABS plastic(learnt my lesson from MG SINANJU ver KA) . Gollum like to repaint toys very very much. Never ever buy fragile breakable MG SINANJU ver KA!!

Well Gollum3, unfortunately we don't promote or encourage bootleg products in our forum. However, sorry to hear bout the damages and feel free to post your defect parts and share your experience what's went wrong during the process.

[gollum3]

Oooh, hoho! Gollum is not a china gundam seller, pls dont misunderstand. Gollum is just a hobbist with low financial background. Gollum is a low-life low-salary computer support guy. BANDAI MG Sinanju ver KA is Gollum's 1st MG.
Gollum like Sinanju design very much.
After breaking some parts, Gollum is very dissapointed with BANDAI. Gollum wonders is this 1 of BANDAI's scheme to hoard in more money n force collector to buy more Sinanjus? So Gollum ordered a china sinanju to compare quality. Gollum has some doubts about it at first. But hey! It has been doing fine until now. So Gollum just want to share experience about Sinanju enthuasists.

Gollum comes to this forum here as a hobbyist who believes we should get what we pay for. Gollum just see Bandai,Gaogao as companies. Gollum thinks companies should pay attention to what hobbyists want and not swindle hobbyists money.

If this forum is under sponsored by Bandai or litt tak company, im trully very sorry, i dont know.

In summary, i will not promote china gundam anymore, peace!!

Gollum,
I think you get the whole wrong perception pertaining to my comment. FYI, our forum are not sponsored by Bandai or Litt Tak. We maintained our forum with our own expenses. So I hope that you refrain from what you uttered here. As far as we concerned, we don't heard any complaint from any modelers stating that Sinanju ver.KA does have a poor quality. As I suggested previously, you are welcome to share what's went wrong with your kit as we can share our experience or advises once we have observed your kit. Just couples of complaint ain't do any justification for you. Or perhaps you might over look some assembly part's instruction which might lead to your disaster. So feel free to post your defect kits.

In addition, we got nothing against China products as every modelers does have their own rights to choose. As we always said:- 'Different modelers have different perception'. Plain simple as that. But assuming other manufacturer having some sort of plots by 'milking' or 'swindling' our hard earned money, I'm totally disagree with your statement. Simple question that might tinkle you a sec :-

1. Did you assembled your kit accordingly to the manual instruction?
2. How do you treat those delicate or small fine parts out from the sprue?
3. Did you applied forceful method to assemble the joints?

So by throwing wild accusation to one party I would felt that is kinda harsh. So hope to see your work soon. Peace!

[gollum3]

Of course gollum would not like to accuse BANDAI but i surf internet and read reviews and blogs about MG Sinanju Ver KA. Some parts were broken, mostly common broken parts is the waist peg. and gollums notice most MG sinanju photos are standing stiff, no extreme action pose.
to answer your questions,

1. Yes, i assemble it accordingly, and assembled it twice with KO version.
2. After cutting it from sprue cutter, I sand it and then snap fit it
3. I break joints after i assembled everything completely. i break joints when i start to move it, playing with it.

Gollum likes moving parts, articulations!! Peace!

[banzai]

Aha! I see the problem you're having, Gollum.

You have to remember that first and foremost, Bandai creates these as model kits with articulation, not articulate toys that just happen to be model kits. With that in mind you have to realize that there's a certain degree of fragility inherent in ALL model kits. My best advice would be to be gentle with the kit when posing. They're not action figures really... They're model kits that are articulated like action figures so they can hold poses.

Bandai does have a line called fixed figuration which are essentially Gundam and other IPs made as action figures. The line has its own classifications, the most impressive being the metal build and metal composite line. They are extremely durable, usually equivalent to Chogokin metal figures. They also feature changeable parts, a fair amount of articulation and are factory painted in a variety of finishes. As the name suggests, they also come as a composite (combination of plastic, metal and rubber) or full metal figures with the hefty price tag for those materials to match.

Now if you wanted to modify your model kit to be more like an action figure, I'm sure this is definitely possible. You could always reinforce your joints for wear and tear with extra plastic or even rubber, brass rods and all manner of things to increase durability. Unfortunately I am no authority on this since I have never done anything like that before. I've run across some forum builds with crazy mods for articulation (like converting solid resin statues in to articulate kits! CRAZY!) but you'll have to wait till I can gather enough of them to be useful to you if this is the route you want to pursue. I should inform you though... These kinds of mods involve a lot of elbow grease. Lots of sawing, cutting, filling, puttying and sanding. Sometimes even rebuilding entire sections of the model just to make them more articulate.

Hope this helps.

[gollum3]

thx for the advice, bro.
