MG The O - Review

Posted by Falldog [www] 

So I finally got my MG O in the mail and was able to put it together rather quickly. It's a really simple build despite what some might think considering it's size.

I like the O, and I have (what I like to think) a cool paint job awaiting it, but as a kit it has a few painful shortfalls exaggerated by the cost of the kit.

I wrote up a full review with my thoughts. Let me know what you think.

1/48 to the left, PG MK II to the right, MG Victory up front.

The under skirt claws are really cool. Oddly enough they could probably support more weight than the arms themselves.

The beam sabers slide in and out easily.

Shoulder articulation is better expected. The terrible seam lines are clearly shown.

It's like looking up the skirt of a fat lady.

Despite the cost of the kit they only include two yellow beam sabers. What a ripoff.

      I always figured it should move faster than it did since every surface is bristling with thrusters.

        well, it depends on the thrusters' tech level as well as considering the O's heavy armor and extra arms nyah :3

    I was expecting it to be as articulated as a brick, so this is still somewhat of a plus.

    But yes, it has a fat ass. :/

    I like your Mega Size Gundam, I hope that mine comes out looking as clean as yours. Did you add anything to it, like do lining or painting?
