The Poisoned 065: MNO-XH03 AO BING (FROM MOTOR NUCLEAR)

 First off, all I know about the Motor Nuclear brand is that they always release fully built models/figures. And this is a surprise to me that they have released a complete DIY model kit; runners and all. I am not sure if their other models have been like this. I never got interested in them since I always want a model kit and not a fully built figure.

Another thing that made me think is one of the builder's comment in an FB group I follow. He said that SNAA was XH01 and this [Ao Bing] was coded as XH03. In my mind, I don't think SNAA will do any "collab" with Motor Nuclear. IF AND ONLY IF they are actually partners with this kit, then why skip on XH02 and jump straight on XH03? Motor Nuclear already made a good reputation for their "Dynasty Warriors" styled models. There's no benefit for them to partner with someone since they can do it themselves. 

I tried to do some personal checking in the internet. If you search Motor Nuclear kits, the last 2 kits with 01 and 02 was Bai Qi  and Cao Ren. I will show the images below. 

MNQ-01 Bai Qi

MNQ-02 Cao Ren

It's just my personal opinion that I don't think SNAA will have a collaboration with a rival store. But in order to prove me wrong, SNAA should release a kit from XH02 and ALSO JUMP onto XH04. That would connect the dots. Otherwise, it's just a mere coincidence. 

Anyways, the box is huge and there's a lot of runners for this model. I also love the detailing on the parts. Some of them are already pre-colored. So there's no need to paint them. Even though, a separated part would be nice, Motor Nuclear, already giving the full service of painting them is a bonus for straight-builders. I also believe that the parts are undergated base on the placement of their gates. That would be nice since it would cover or hide the nub marks.

The picture also shows a few packs of separated inner frame parts. Probably die-cast metal parts for the joints. If you check the labels of the runners, you can also see the coding of MNP. So that's probably our Motor Nuclear name, but I don't know what the P stands for ('project' perhaps?).

The Poisoned 064: HIRM WING ZERO ver EW (DABAN MODEL 8825) | UPCOMING KIT!

 Well, it's not surprising to be honest. I think it was just a matter of time before they release this variant of Wing Zero, since they already released the first HIRM WZC before. The question now is, will this be better than MJH's version?

Fitting issues would be the key factors here if you want to get the kit, so maybe waiting for a while and let the other reviewers check it first. As for my end, I already pre-ordered several kits and I think I will stop for a while after I get Judge Moonlight. 

I will definitely get the kit if they released a HIRM version of Snow White prelude though..

The Poisoned 063: JUDGE MOONLIGHT by Zero Gravity (The beast has returned!)

 I am so glad that this handsome model kit has finally made its comeback, and with a new color scheme to feature. As far as I know, it still have the built metal frame along with the waterslide decals.

The color scheme isn't that far off to the original or the first one, but this is much better with the light blue on the backpack binders/cannons(?). I already pre-ordered one from a local store here in the Philippines called Neo Hobs. If you're from the Philippines, you can check their shop here in FACEBOOK (click me) or via SHOPEE (click me).

I will get the model kit probably this November or December but it's already a sure slot.
