HG 1/144 Sword Impulse (Gao Gao / TT Hongli) Review Part 1




Hello bootleg lovers, today we’ll be looking at the 1/144 HG Sword Impulse from Seed Destiny series. Another Gao Gao kit which is a worth buy. Everything is snapfitted easily without a problem.

Model Kit Statistics
Name: Sword Impulse
Manufacturer: Gao Gao
Price: IDR 85.000

UNBOXING




The boxart is pretty colorful with the red body and purple beam swords. We might be attracted with the purple swords it has before we know that the purple are stickers. It also shows the flyer modes. The runners are packed together in one plastic bag which is bad.

RUNNERS





The runners are glossy which is good. It will make the building process much easier. As usual we get stand base for Seed kits. The stickers are good enough, you can apply them if you so choose.

PARTS

Head




The head is good enough. But the face mask has excess plastic which can be removed by sanding. The mouth should be higher since it leaves a gap between the mouth and the mask. The eyes sticker is very good on mine.

Torso




The body design reminds me of Build Burning Gundam from GBF Try series. It is pretty colorful and easy to build. But the core fighter inside the body tends to pop off everytime.

Arms


The arms are very good. There is no problem when building the arms

Waist




The skirts are well designed. It looks plain but we can put the grey stickers on the front skirts.

Legs


Everything is okay when building the legs.

Weapons and Accessories




Of course Sword Impulse has swords as the main weapon. We get twin swords with beam effect parts on each. They can be combined to be a dual edged sword. Unfortunately the swords only molded in white color. The purple are on stickers. We also get the core lander in full white color, a compact mode shield, a normal beam rifle and a pair of boomerang effect parts.

Backpack




The backpack is unique. It’s longer than I expected. We can attach the swords to the arms on the side of it. The first picture shows the sword flyer without the front part. The second one is when it attached on the back. The V part can be detached to be a pair of beam boomerangs handle.

Standart Pose







A very good looking kit. The proportion is not so good though.

Verdict

This kit is pretty good with the vibrant colors and the accessories it has. How is the articulation? Stay tuned for the next part.
