JESSE’S GUNPLA SHOWCASE #31

PERFECT GRADE GN-001 GUNDAM EXIA

ORIGIN: MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM 00 PILOT: SETSUNA F. SEIEI ACQUIRED FROM: LOST WORLD OF WONDERS DATE KIT WAS ACQUIRED: MARCH 2018 DATE KIT FINISHED ASSEMBLY: SEPTEMBER 2018

It was only a matter of time…

…before i took the next step. I’ve been a gunpla builder for 8 years now, and before this year, I’ve strictly been a HG and MG guy with a 1/100 kit here and there. But I never had the chance to build myself a Perfect Grade kit. Part of it was due to insufficient funds, and the other was an intimidation factor. MG’s can be quite a time consuming hassle as it is, so how in the world would i ever get a Perfect Grade finished??

Well, this year I finally wanted to step up to the challenge. I just did my first custom as well as my second custom painted kit, so why not take the next step? So I went to my favorite Anime / Comic and most importantly, Gunpla store in the city of Milwaukee, Lost World of Wonders.

It seems like the gunpla section gets bigger and bigger every time i go there. When i made my first trip back in 2011, there was one shelf of all the gunpla. Now there’s two shelves of HGs and NGs, two racks of MGs, another rack for Bandai Star Wars kits and *aggravated sigh*……Super Fuminas, and of course, a rack of a few PGs and other Mega Size kits.

I looked around that area for a bit if that surprises any of you guys, and i really liked the selection. A good variety of HG’s from UC, 00, AGE, and IBO, and there was also this….

I was incredibly tempted to grab this guy, that is until i walked around and found the PG section. I then found the kit I never thought i’d see in a store around here…

There it was! Right here! If I was gonna build my first PG kit, it was gonna be this guy. So I took her home with me. She had to wait a bit however, for i had to catch up on my backlog with my Lightning Star Warrior custom build, HG Quebeley, and painted 1/100 Graze. But by late July, I was ready to tackle the challenge.

First thing to put together is the action base. Yes, it comes with an action base! look at the size of that thing!

The articulation of the inner frame is absolutely incredible. Not too many ways that i can’t pose the guy.

Inner frame took about two weeks to assemble.

“Cause it’s a Thriller! Thriller Night! Ain’t no one gonna save you from the Beast about to strike!“

 It looks so weird without the armor covers, which was the next step.

“I put my pants on like everyone else. One leg at at time.“

That step took a couple days to do in between my work schedule. The best perk of a PG is the fact that 85% of the armor parts are undergated, so even if you aren’t a great builder, you won’t have to worry about nub marks or white stress marks.

And finally on September 21st, the main body was completed.

…and it didn’t take long for him to scare the other tiny HG’s in my gunpla family.

I managed to finish the weapons the next two days, and then finally….she was completed on the 22nd.

This fella is absolutely incredible. The detail and articulation is worth the time and the price, and i also love being able to open up the armor as well.

Aww look, she’s waving at us…

Oh? Is there something you wanted to show us?

Wait, what are you doing? Are you trying to take your head off? Wha-…

!! 😱 !!   I can’t believe it! You really are Gundam!

– Yeah I was having some fun. Don’t judge me, i saw this on Twitter. –

In all seriousness though, This may have been one of my favorite kits to date. It lives up to the title of Perfect Grade. I’m glad that Exia was my first PG, just as it was my first ever MG eight years ago. 

It’s weird holding the MG now. It looks so small in comparison, and i feel like i’m holding an HG.

I’m not sure where i’m gonna put this big fella, but for now, Exia will guard my one of my most oldest and most sacred treasures…

This will probably be the only PG kit i get. They’re not cheap by any means, but if i ever get another, it’ll be the Unicorn Banshee. And for anyone who was wondering, no the store didn’t have the LED version and i’m completely okay with that….

.. BECAUSE PERFECT GRADE EXIA LOOKS GORGEOUS EITHER WAY.

– This kit has been approved by the Gunpla Meister –

    ❝Do you know? Do you know? Have you heard the news?❞    ― There’ll be another duel today in the forest behind the school.    Oh, brave hero! Brave hero, who fights for her friend’s sake…    But, be careful, brave hero. There are rules in the forest.    Do you know what they are? Do you know? Do you know? Do you know what they are?

full frontal is literally just waluigi and as proof here’s a paragraph from here that was originally about waluigi and all i have done is replace pertinent names and subjects

“Full Frontal is the ultimate example of the individual shaped by the signifier. Full Frontal is a man seen only in mirror images; lost in a hall of mirrors he is a reflection of a reflection of a reflection. You start with Char – the manipulative antivillain, you reflect him to create Quattro Bajeena – the same thing but slightly more depressed. You invert Char to create Counterattack Char – Char turned septic and nihlistic – then you reflect the inversion in the reflection: you create a being who can only exist in reference to others. Full Frontal is the true nowhere man, without the other characters he reflects, inverts and parodies he has no reason to exist. Full Frontal identity only comes from what and who he isn’t - without a wider frame of reference he is nothing. He is not his own man. In a world where our identities are shaped by our warped relationships to brands and commerce we are all Full Frontal.”
