Hello bootleg lovers, let’s continue the review to the
articulation for this Tieren Ground Type. I’ve made a video for this part so we
can know clearly how the articulation on this kit. You can watch the video
separately in the provided link. Unlike my previous reviews, I took separate
pictures not from the video so that we can clearly see how the articulation is. So let’s start.
Head
The head is not articulated. It’s just stationary. I wonder
if the head can rotate, it will be awkward. So I think it’s not really a flaw. Just
like any other monoeyed mobile suits, the eye can be rotated. But to do it, we
need to take off the helmet first which is not good because it might make the
peg loose.
Torso
The torso is very good. As you can see, it has a unique
design, so the articulation also unique. The chest can move forward and because
the cylindrical design of the middle part, it looks very mecha-ish with the
rotation sort of.
The waist has a joint to move the body back and forth. But
it’s loose on mine, and I think I cannot fix it, because it is a polycap which
cannot be glued, I think. I haven’t tried it yet, though.
And it also rotates on the waist. Once again, the
cylindrical design of the waist just make the movement becomes so cool.
Arms
The arms are pretty good. They can rotate all the way around
on the shoulders, rotate below the shoulders and swing out about 45 degrees.
They also bend 90degrees on the elbows. The hands are on
ball joints so they can wiggle and rotate. And the flaps or hand guards can
move.
Legs
The legs are so bulky but it will not hinder the movement. The
black parts between the waist and the legs have 2 joints, first is the ball
joints connected to the waist and a swivel joint on the calf. So the legs can be
moved down to make them more articulated.
With that kind of joint, the legs can split pretty far,
which is good for a bulky ground type mobile suit.
The legs also move forward and back as usual but they need
to be on angle to move.
They bend on the knees on 2 joints, very good.
The feet are normal, nothing special. So they can move side
to side, forward and back on the ankles and also rotates on the ball joints.
Well, this kit makes our mind about bulky mobile suits
changed. The articulation is pretty good and it has some unique joints that
need to be tried on other mobile suits. Everything is stiff on this kit, Gao
Gao typical. Only one joint that loose on mine, which I think it’s my fault
when I built it. This kit has a good combination of plastic to plastic joints
and polycaps joints.
So that’s it about the articulation. As usual the review
will not be finished on this part. I will give my final verdict and scoring
about this kit. So see you in the next review. :)
