The Poisoned 069: RULING by INFINITE NOVA (SNAA + INFINITE DIMENSION COLLAB)

 So, the reveal has finally been posted in their Weibo account!
You can check out the source here (CLICK ME)

I did not expect that the model will be a full ranged-type mecha. I thought that it would be the same as Judge as a melee-type model. But we still don't know if that's already all the weapons the model will have once it is full available. Base on the post, this is just their prototype. So, there could be many other things not included in the model kit yet. Yes, it is a model kit as far as I remember from the news. And I hope it stays like that.

As for the design, I really love it. I might get one if the price will be manageable. My only worry now is how the heck am I going to hide this. I don't want this displayed on my shelf because it will just eat a lot dust. Anyways. Let's wait for other information in the future, especially the painted product and the decals.







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 058: ZERO GRAVITY'S BLOOD BLADE MODEL

 And here I thought that Zero Gravity will become a brand similar like Elyn and I was really worried if I will make it on time to get a kit of Judge Gundam. Now, I just got tips from colleagues and friends that Zero Gravity revealed another model. If this is the same with their Judge Gundam where the rest of the parts are all DIY, then I am all in for this. Pricing however would surely be the same with Judge. Anyways, I hope I can get more images in the future like the runners and stuff (if there are even runners).
