BB Senshi Sangokuden Gaiden Bashoku Gundam review


**********************************************************
Name:Bashoku
Identity:Ma Su
Serial:BB348
Type:BB Senshi/Super Deform(SD)

Rating 1(very bad) to 5(very good)

**********************************************************

==========================================================
Accessories - Rating out of 5:**
==========================================================
Mask, shoulder armor(x2), sword, Dagger, arm guard(x2), Kunai
==========================================================
Gimmick - Rating out of 5:***
==========================================================
Bashoku has a unique head structure which allows him to change his eyes by pushing the dragon on his head(either up or down). The blade of his giant sword can be removed to reveal a thinner more streamline one.
==========================================================
Look/Color Scheme - Rating out of 5:**
==========================================================
Bashoku is very ninja like with weapons such as a dagger and kunai, it’s a nice looking model kit.
==========================================================
Painting - Rating out of 5:****
==========================================================
Easy to paint if you follow the box art , mostly blue and gold.
==========================================================
Conclusion and overall - Rating out of 5:***
==========================================================
Very unique gimmick on the head and is actually pretty fun to play with. Bashoku is definitely one of those “Must Get” Gaiden kits. He doesn’t have much armor though , but he has lots of weapons to make up for it.

BB Senshi Sangokuden Gaiden Batai Gundam Review


**********************************************************
Name:Batai
Identity:Ma Dai
Serial:BB347
Type:BB Senshi/Super Deform(SD)

Rating 1(very bad) to 5(very good)

**********************************************************

==========================================================
Accessories - Rating out of 5:**
==========================================================
Mask, chest armor, shoulder armor(x2), shoulder shield(x2) sword(x2), Hammer, Beam saber, backpack.
==========================================================
Gimmick - Rating out of 5:*
==========================================================
The only gimmick this guy has is the swords merging with the hammer to form a spear.
==========================================================
Look/Color Scheme - Rating out of 5:**
==========================================================
Blue and gold combination! Very cool looking for a small fella.
==========================================================
Painting - Rating out of 5:****
==========================================================
Easy to paint if you follow the box art , all you need is gold(weapons and armor) and gray(for the fist). He is supposed to be all blue and gold , unlike mine. I added some silver , metallic red , metallic black(hammer head) , brown(hammer) and pink for the beam saber.
==========================================================
Conclusion and overall - Rating out of 5:**
==========================================================
Gimmick wise , this kit is pretty lousy. But to make up for it , it has lots of weapons. Comes with 3 different eye stickers. Overall , he is a pretty cool looking kit.

BB Senshi Sengokuden Naoe Kanetsugu Gundam review


**********************************************************

Rating 1(very bad) to 5(very good)

==========================================================
Accessories - Rating out of 5:***
==========================================================
Helmet, shoulder armor, open palm, sword & scabbard (cover) x 2, Cannon, backpack, flag.

Extra accessories

Helmet (a different one), body armor, wings x2(for a cannon mode), stand or legs x2 (for a cannon mode).
==========================================================
Gimmick - Rating out of 5:***
==========================================================
Armor pieces together with weapons can form a cannon. With the extra accessories another type of cannon can be formed. They even included wheels for the bird cannon so that it could roll? Lol. The helmet has a clear visor which can be pulled down to protect or cover the eyes of the Gundam. Swords and cannon can also merge to form a crossbow.
==========================================================
Look/Color Scheme - Rating out of 5:***
==========================================================
A really good looking model kit I must add. The body itself is very detailed! The helmet is kind of huge but it still looks cool.
==========================================================
Painting - Rating out of 5:**
==========================================================
Painting.. well , it isn’t difficult , but a lot of work has to be done to achieve box art accuracy. The most difficult part to paint is the “II” on the head! Because it is so tiny. I tried hand painting the “II” and it screwed up. Ended up using oil based markers (Black and Gold). I’m pretty disappointed that it isn’t perfect , but I gave up! LOL. One thing though , I hate to paint fist and hands of model kits , but I still did it for a more complete look.
==========================================================
Conclusion and overall - Rating out of 5:***
==========================================================
The thing about Sengokuden kits is that they always include extra parts for you to convert the kit to its old school look. For me , extra accessories are always a bonus!This one is definitely worth pick up.
