so another model down from the Witch From Mercury line, the Zowort(light) variant this was a nice fun build the light green plastic has a nice soft mat finish and silky texture to the touch out of box was just nice. Detail wise the head has some great detail with the sensors being visible behind a clear orange part. I wanted them to stand out a bit more as they where molded into the green plastic and even with paneling they just kind of disappeared to I painted them gray, and threw some gold on the lenses so they would pop a bit, I don’t know we’ll I got them to show in the pictures. It does look much cooler in person. I want to get the heavy version next.

As far as posing goes. like all the other simply killer. My only complaint is the shoulders the ball and sockets where really tight on one side so much so it was stressing out the socket so bad i ended up sanding the ball down. Just to stop stretching out the socket just trying to pose it. For some photos.

GN-0000DVR/II Gundam 00 Diver Arc

Let's continue our very unneeded and out-of-date deconstruction of Build Metaverse with looking at how the show handled Build Divers. As far as characters go, it probably did the best overall job, with four of the six main cast members returning, as well as Magee. We also get to see them interact with each other, and not just Rio or characters from other seasons. Having both Riku and Ayame get new Gunpla is also a big bonus.

Though I am not without complaints, as this is another instance where they put the original character designs over the updated ones, and it's even more egregious here because those aged up versions of those characters interacted directly with the Re:Rise cast and had decent screen time, unlike Sei who was only ever hinted at. It's pushing nostalgia for something that's not even 5 years old.

The Kit: The kit is mostly the 00 Diver again with a few new pieces, though unlike the Shin Burning, it's a bit more hit or miss. The GN Drives are probably the best we've ever gotten on a High Grade, with the full wing units capable of a ton of poses and gimmicks, and the Drives themselves being multi-layered and capable of opening and closing. They also use metallic stickers for the GN Particle effect.

But things like the chest and horns aren't as great, feeling loose in places. It's the first time since the Seltsam that I've had to glue something to keep it in place. And I understand why they chose to redo the Diver instead of the Sky, since we recently got the 00 Sky Moebius, but it's weird that Riku is the only character to not get his ultimate unit upgraded.

The Details: Apart from the usual panel lining and black fill, I used metallic green underneath the translucent green elements, similar to what I did with the Shin Burning. I also used metallic blue on the eyes, cameras, and a few other places like the feet and elbows.

And, as I mentioned, the chest would not hold together, so I had to use a dab of glue to hold it in place.

Overall, while the tolerance issues were a bummer, I can definitely see myself buying multiples of this kit in the future just for those GN Drives. They're that good. Apart from all that, it's a decent kit with a lot of non-intrusive gimmicks. So I'd say it's a good grab, but be aware of its issues.

It was the night before M.41. Calgar was on his battle barge, when suddenly, his navigators saw something. A star! In the warp! (Say this with The Tick saying A Face! In The Wood! voice. [Of course The Tick speaks in Title Case.]) What could it mean? Project Balde will have to wait!

I am so excited, got two kits I have been waiting for, the MGSD Barbartos and the HG Calibarn. The problem is I have a decently large back log going on right now. So running into a “what do I build next?” Issue. I know the Calibarn is going to need to wait. Because I am waiting on a light kit for it and replacing the decals I bought for but can’t find now.

I have a few other GWFM kits that I still need to do, but also a couple of RG kits the new Epyon being one. As well as some other random MSs both from Gundam and from other shows.

What should I do next?

SBG-E01 Shin Burning Gundam

So let's continue our look at how Metaverse could have better handled the returning characters from the previous series. And for Fighters Try, it was handled pretty well. Sekai is very on-point, and because his story was the latest in his timeline, his design fits, too. I do wish his gi had a little more flare to it to fit the other costumes we see in Divers/Metaverse, but him repping his school works from a character perspective.

Fumina's fine. She's mostly there for fan service, being the only character to get an actual redesign. And she feels like a fan service character, which, yes, they used her for fan service in her original series a little bit, but she was a much deeper and interesting character than just that, and that's very much lacking from this interpretation.

The Kit: It's just the Kamiki Burning Gundam again, but with a new shoulder, hip skirt, and backpack. Apart from the horns, you can basically rebuild the entire kit again. Still, the new parts are neat, and the new effect parts are cool.

The Details: Man, I'm just now noticing I forgot to clean one of the knees... Anyway, apart from panel lining and black fill, I used metallic blue for the eyes and peripheral cameras, as well as on the areas underneath the translucent blue parts. This is in contrast to what I did with the Exceed Galaxy where I used the red on the underside of the parts themselves. I also used gold, black, and metallic blue on the the two swords.

Overall, while it isn't an especially interesting upgrade, the new parts are still really cool, and another way of getting this kit that's kinda old and doesn't get reprinted as much. It's not really worth it if you already have a Kamiki Burning, but if you don't, then it's a perfectly fine kit with a very fun backpack. The backpack is very cool.
