Runners and Manual


Gundam Exia Repair II








Articulation
You can bend the shoulder part up-to 90 degrees if necessary. 
That’s the farmost I can adjust with the legs wide apart.

Elbows and leg when bent 90degrees.  

Armaments
Starting from below.. The GN Beam Saber , the GN Sword Kai – primary weapon of the repaired Exia and Exia’s GN Blades and Shield.

Review

The Box
The box  is a bit battered, but it came up with the superb images.

Quality
Don’t expect too much from a bootleg in terms of plastic quality and details. So if   you’re very particular with those terms, buy  original.

Articulation
Head:  Very Good
Shoulder: Poor
Elbow: Good
Hand: Good
Waist: Good
Skirt: Very Good
Hip: Very Good
Knee: Very Good
Ankle: Very Good

The Looks
Ugliness: 5
Coolness: 5

Value for money
6 out of 10

Pros:
Fair detail
You can do anything with it that you'll probably won't do to an original.
Provides decent playability
Assembling a bootleg is a real challenge
Cons:
Stickers don’t actualy sticks (get a glue or prepare your painting materials)
Some parts are quite bloated (its not that obvious, ignore it!)
Exia’s weapons doesnt fit very well to their sockets (this is Exia Repair II)
The shoulder part comes off the body easily only when you play around it (live with it!)

 Bottomline
If you have budget constraint , TT Hongli Exia Repair II is a good buy, coz you can always create a masterpiece from a bootleg .

Trivia
Exia Repair II has the record of having the shortest operation time of a Gundam piloted by a main character before becoming unusable, about 3 minutes including deployment.






"BUDGET tight? BUY bootleg


MONEYWISE? GO FOR BANDAI! SUPPORT ORIGINAL"
