Do you guys like the AcGuy? I love the AcGuy

[adam-sadmon]

I don't know why all the amphibious Zeon suits are all the most goofy ahh motherfuckers ever but I love each and every one of them like they were my children

I got looking up Acguy and THE gay robot.

Blessed.

[ephemeral-builds]

I haven't built a lot of the classic Zeon mono-eye kits, so I figured an Acguy was a good addition to my collection.

The Acguy is really kind of an odd design. Very stubby and chonky. Very short arms and legs. Doesn't have any waist separation. Huge head. It'd be almost comical if it weren't for the giant claws.

I love that the only sticker in this kit is a lonely pink dot for the mono-eye. Which I didn't even use. I really like my metallic pink Gundam Marker - I think it looks fantastic for Zeon mono-eyes.

And this eye is wonderfully poseable. It slides all around on a track... Left to right, as well as up over the top of the head.

Unfortunately you have to disassemble an awful lot to get at the mono-eye to move it. So I guess I won't be re-posing the eye too much.

The body is just this big, monolithic thing. No separation or articulation for anything. No waist at all. Not a lot of fine surface details to panel-line either... Just some very chunky, obvious panels.

And then there's a surprising amount of detail that is completely invisible once the kit is built. The interior of the feet as well as the inside of the arms and legs have a lot of little greebly bits. But that's all covered-up once the armor is attached.

Since the kit doesn't come with accessories - no gun or sword or anything - there's a few different build options for the arms. Missile-launchers, retracted claws, extended claws... And there's also the choice of building extended or stubby arms. Or you can even completely omit an arm.

I don't love how those shoulder plates just kind of sit there. They're not really attached to anything. They feel very loose and insecure... But I guess they're not going anywhere.

I'm genuinely surprised with the level of detail and articulation on this kit. It's so small and chonky I really didn't expect to get much out of it... But it's surprisingly decent. My only real objection is with the extended arms, which seem pretty floppy. But I think I can probably tighten-up those ball-and-socket joints.

Since the Acguy is an aquatic mobile suit, I picked up one of these 30 Minute Missions Customize Scene Base (Water Field Version).

I know it's for 30 Minute Missions - but they use a lot of the same 3mm pegs/holes, so I figured it'd work. And it does work, mostly.

The scale seems like it's maybe a little off? The base seems a little small for the Acguy... Or maybe it's just because the Acguy is a really chonky model. But it looks pretty cool.

And there's a surprising amount of versatility to this base. The seafloor has a few peg-holes to support a model, but the waterline also has a peg-hole. So you could mount another model up above the water. Or you could separate the two levels and use them as two separate stands.

And there it is - the HGUC Acguy with a 30MM Customize Scene Base.

I'm genuinely surprised with how much I enjoyed this build. I really didn't expect that much out of this kit.

How many screenshots of Haman Karn is too many screenshots of Haman Karn? Asking for a friend who also decided to write an essay about her presentation and performativity that requires extensive illustration.

Anyway, sometimes the humour in Gundam ZZ is in fact pretty funny.

[crejapasta]

Sometimes I mindlessly put D-16 and Orion Pax in compromising positions then get surprised when I later see them in compromising positions

Now I know past me thought it'd be funny putting me in that pose. But present me is like what are you two doing??? On top of my book of all things??

[whypolar]

I love how this acguy just looks like a cute little guy with a big silly gun. And then a few pages later it gets out of the water and we see it from human scale, and it looks like a giant hulking ape monster

they don’t want to admit it but the Gogg is so moe
