MG 00 Qan[T] Review – Part 6: Final Thoughts

So my gameplan was to wait until I got home and could take nice pictures of the Quanta in my lightbox…  So I did.  Except I forgot my camera.  So I had to use someone else’s.  And basically everything failed miserably so all of these pictures suck.  But whatever, let’s do this.

So my final thoughts on the MG Quanta…  There’s a lot they do right, and there’s a few things that they don’t.

MG 00 Qan[T] Review – Part 5: Backpack and Weapons

Quanta’s backpack is a nice little chunk of well-designed gimmickry.

 

Showing the basic joints along the connecting arm and then within the backpack itself.

And thus, she stands.

MG 00 Qan[T] Review – Part 3: Arms

POW.  Long overdo, but I’m taking a break from studying for finals to finish up this review.

MG 00 Qan[T] Review – Part 2: Head

That is a nice face.  Note the 00Q in the clear green forehead piece.

The head has excellent part separation and detail that I’ve come to expect from a Master Grade but am still fairly impressed by from a technical standpoint.

  

The part I’m focusing on in the last picture above is just one of those tiny-ass details in MGs that I love.  Rather than make the whole part solid, there was a gap on those “fins” on the head, which then had a separate piece altogether to fill in the gap.  I’m a big fan of natural panel lines caused by part separation rather than inscribed ones.  Kudos Bandai.

MG 00 Qan[T] Review – Intro & Part 1: Torso

00 Qan[T], 00 Quanta, GNT-0000…  This Gundam goes by many names, mainly since the correct spelling, 00 Qan[T], is a pain to type out all of the time, but we’ll see how I do.  Fun fact: in several places the box says “GNT-0000 00 QAN[T]” and I have no idea how that didn’t bother the graphic designer.

ANYHOW.  Welcome to another one of my obnoxiously long reviews.  As I mentioned in my Omegamon review, I’m not at home with access to my lovely lightbox so I’m just making due with what I have, so I apologize in advance for the photos not being as nice as they might normally be.

The 00 Qan[T] is Setsuna’s new Gundam in the Gundam 00 movie A Wakening of the Trailblazer (A Mazing Use of Spaces).  As such, there will be some relatively minor movie spoilers in here limited to technical functions of the Quanta and its GN Drives.

Digimon Reboot Omegamon Review

LET’S GET IT.

So let me talk about this for just a bit first.  Digimon is an insta-nostalgia thing for me.  I loved it years and years ago and have always appreciated some of the designs still simply because they’re fucking awesome.  A group of Digimon called the Royal Knights all had designs that would make excellent mecha, especially the X variations of some of them, shown below.

MG 00 Qan[T] and Omegamon Reviews Coming Tonight!

Hey all.  So I was planning on doing an in-depth buildup review for both of these kits, but fate had other ideas.  Both of my camera’s batteries are discharged and I can’t for the life of me find the charger.

I built up Omegamon, since it was the simpler of the two kits, and will be doing a review of it later tonight (after I buy a battery charger).  The Qan[T] review will be in standard Knolly fare with a buildup review for each section that I’ll be starting tonight and finishing either tonight or tomorrow if I get a good rhythm going.

See you all soon!

Coming Soon!

Hey, haven’t been here in a year or so!

Anyhow, just wanted to pop in and make sure this was still working…  In a week or so I should get my MG 00 Quanta as well as my Digimon Reboot Omegamon kit (SO MUCH NOSTALGIA), and I’ll be doing reviews of both of them on my blog.  The pictures might not be as good as my last few reviews since I’m at college and don’t have my lightbox, but you can probably make due, haha.
