Hello Gunpla Fans, today I'm gonna review on the 1/100 scaled McGillis's Schwalbe Graze.
Straight out of the box you would find yourself 12 sets of runner, 1 sets of polycap, 1 sheet of foil sticker and 1 wire.
It's quite a quick build as I've only spend like 2 hours building this kit alone. It's like building a typical high grade model kit with slightly more parts to put in.
Outlook
The inner frame of this kit is nice, the thing I still didn't like about this inner frame is that why can't they provide some grey parts to cover up the yellow part. It's like building the HG kit just instead of using yellow sticker, we use they grey one.
Damn.. really hate those sticker parts.. giving simple piece of plastic would make customer so much happier instead of giving some grey sticker. Though painting it would be nice, but it would definitely make straight builder pissed off with that part.
Putting on the armors.
Color of this kit definitely pops but if you were the one building this kit, you would definitely complain that everything is falling apart right after putting everything on. The thigh section armor falls off easily due to the weight, the claw thingy falls off easily as there is no polycap to support it.
Posing him is never easy as everything feels quite loose everywhere.
Accessories.
The Accessories of this kit looks more or less like the typical Graze. What is additional compare to the normal graze is that the Schwalbe Graze has got a new claw, backback and 2 leg thrusters.
Nice Addition to The Graze. Totally loving the leg thruster but it totally spoilt my mood that the leg armor section keeps falling off.
Articulations
Articulation on this kit is not bad,
Can't do much of a split due to the inner frame on the leg section but the leg is still double jointed so means it can still go 180 degree rotation on the knee section.
Doing the gundam squads like a boss. No issue, easily done.
Pictures (picture not own by me):
Verdict:
Pros
- It's anime accurate
- The booster on the shoulder and knee is a huge plus compare to the standard graze
- Cool additional weapon (claw)
- Well articulate knee and arms (double jointed)
- Quite posable
Cons
- Armor Pieces quite loose on the leg section and the claw section
- Give sticker instead of plastic parts on the chest section
- Feels very fragile.
NOTE: Review on this kit is based on my own personal opinion.
