KWG-0000 'Double X': "... No comment..." 

31) If you could change anything about you, what would you change?
Morpho: "Better equipment will be nice. I want those plasma sword Altair 2.0 have."

This journal is a review for the Real Grade 1/144 MSN-04 Sazabi, I am reviewing this kit due to popular demand (ie. one person). 

OVERVIEW

Sazabi, the beast, the legend, will cost you around 35 USD (or 50 NZD). After this thing (inevitably) sold out like hot cakes, I managed to snag one on Mandarake (for all your second hand Japanese stuff need) for 4200 yen, the delivering costed me 3850 yens, so in overall it took me around 100 NZD or 80 USD to acquire this thing. The box itself is huge, twice the size of any RG grade kits that came before it (with the exception of Shinaju, which is a Sazabi after losing weight.) This is most likely the prime reason why it cost so much to deliver overseas, so be careful when you buy this thing. Your wallet may bite off more than it can chew.

PROS

-Unlike previous Real grades that uses a pre-built inner frame, Sazabi's inner frame (it does have one BTW) has to be build the old fashioned way, with only the waist, shoulder armor and the wrist prebuilt as a part of the B runner. This frame makes Sazabi a lot more sturdier than your average RG gunplas.  

-If you had previous bad experiences with RG (say, the MSZ-006 Zata, oh the horror...), this kit may just change your mind on the RG line, despite the number of parts, Sazabi is surprisingly easy to build. But the number of part means you will be spending some time on this though.

-Despite its size Sazabi is very well articulated, its skirt armors and shoulder can move out of the way for maximum posing possibilities. 

-This kit stomps the HG in every way minus the price. Seriously buy it. Comparing to MG (1/100 Sazabi Ver. Ka is one of the best Master Grade ever produced) though, this one still holds up in almost every way. Minus the yellow in the thrusters, but you can paint those.

-All the surface armor pieces are undergated, they are molded to the runner in a way that you won't see any nub marks (marks on the armor when the piece is cut off from the runner) when you build it out of the box, this is one of those quality of life things that we tend to take it for granted. You have to give props to Bandai for the extra effort considering they could have easily not gone undergating and still rake in a profit on the sazabi.

CONS (NITPICKS)

-As some Youtubers have pointed out, Sazabi's shoulder joints have a risk of breaking, BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL with the shoulder joints and read the manual carefully (reading the manual before building is always good IMO). For me, the shoulders didn't break but still I reckon Sazabi's shoulders are too tight for their own good. 

-Sazabi does have some hatch gimmicks, but they seemed to be more like an after thought to justify the price tag.  

-On the topic of gimmick, the lack of posable hands or a fixed hand means that Sazabi can never properly hold its beam shot gun two handed. Which is a shame since the gun has a moving gimmick.

-While Sazabi is sturdy it is not indestructable, I already see some stress marks on its left thigh joint. So don't play with this like a brick and do be gentle with it like any other real grade.

-On the topic of sturdy, Sazabi's fuel tanks (those two massive black tubes on its back) and its shield are very flimsily attached (on par with the RX-78-2 gundam) and often fall off when you try to pose, but this shouldn't be an issue for experienced modelers who knows how to tighten these things. 

-While this gunpla has good articulation on all of its limbs, Sazabi's head puts a damper on an otherwise epic RG. This is mainly due to the way Sazabi's head is designed, its massive back cap means Sazabi will never be able to look up unless you turn the entire torso upwards. 

-Bandai really crapped the bed on the stickers here, many of the metallic stickers here are a joke, you can better off using a marker for this one. Even then the silver are completely drowned out by Sazabi's burning red color scheme.

I don't usually put my life issues here on DA, though it has inevitably impacted my online life.

I am not uploading often due to many real life issues. Okay, just one TBH, the job at Pizzahut has become somewhat tedious for me, I need the money to survive and due to many internal problems within the company which I won't go into details to in this small update. But many employee came and went and I have to cover their sh(f)its, many of those employees who left are very experienced, as you might have guessed this means the company is desperately trying to recoup the loss of so many good employees so they need me to hold out while they find more new people.

So far it has been a miserable failure. Out of the three new employee so far:

-One has left for another job, she is so darn short that she struggles to do some of the normal tasks.

-One has left, just said 'I QUIT' on the group chat and never showed up again, what a loser...

-The last one never think with his brain, always do stupid things and can't be relied on. He makes your average day Walmart employees look smart and cheerful.

After weeding out these three recruits, it is inevitable for another round of recruitment trials to begin. This means I have to work a five day shifts for the next few weeks until the situation in the store is stabilized. And I can finally get a transfer to a store nearby.

My unstable life is one of the prime reason as to why I never open commissions and actually try to earn money with my art, it is entirely possible for me to miss a deadline and ruin my own reputation because of yet another new employee quit out of the blue, or some one get sick/injured/died (yes, the last one actually happened) ect. 

 To end this update on a positive note though, for those who are waiting for some models, Manchines, DeltaFang8521, all the models I bought have been fully completed, I will upload them periodically in the next few months. The pattern might be a bit erratic due to my equally as erratic life, so sorry in advance, but here is a teaser:

Wait, catwoman, what are you doing there?!

Apology ahead of time that I don't have the time to follow the rules properly...

I was tagged by Manchines to do this, for some reason, she really likes agent Yue. One of the lesser known (read: not known at all) female OCs of mine. So without further a due, let's do this! She is the girl on the right:


FACT ONE: Agent Yue is made upon the request of Liminori, she just told me to make an assassin character and didn't give much in the way of details. So I just had some fun with the opportunity. Her suit is a mix of Serah Kerrigan's ghost suit: pre00.deviantart.net/703c/th/p…: and The Boss's sneaking suit:vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/me….

FACT TWO: Agent Yue's is a ghost, as in, she has no past, no nationality, no real name, nothing. A woman of few words, she is the least expressive female OC I created. Her past is just as mysterious as her motives. She goes by the condename Yue (pronounced Yoo-eh), which means moon in Chinese. This got many people into speculating that she is ethnically Asian, though her eye color and facial feature seemed to indicate that she is Caucasian.


FACT THREE: The only organization agent Yue has any affiliation to is the black wolf mercenary LLC. The emblem on her stealth suit's chest is the indication of that. Even though Black Wolf mercenary LLC doesn't have her as an employee on their official list of contractors.


FACT FOUR:  Yue's stealth cloak, now called holographic veil by MrRemoraman  is not made from conventional fabric, but a weave of microscopic nano LEDs that can reproduce the environment that is covered on top of. This of course, produce a lot of heat, this is why Yue shaved her head bald. Infiltrating with sweaty hair is the worst. 

FACT FIVE: Yue's weapons of trade are a suppressed SOCOM pistol (the same gun used by Snake during MGS 1), a grappling hook gun (for getting to vantage points) and a combat knife (to save bullets). She is equipped lightly for most of her infiltration missions since she tends to avoid head on combat for the reasons of stealth. Making Yue, one of my more pacifistic female OC. That is not to say she won't kill someone if the mission demanded it, she is a cold blooded killer after all.
 
FACT SIX:  The moon behind yue's illustration is actually the moon of cradle, the planet where the MMORPG Spiral Knights is taking place on: media3.spiralknights.com/wiki-…. I am original... I know...

FACT SEVEN: Yue's partner (the thing on her left), in the old illustration is just some guy with a cool funny hat and a suppressed shotgun (Watch the movie: No Country for Old Men to see it in effect). In the new illustration he seemed to have become a medabot. His name is EZ-08 'Easy Eight', a custom built medabot designed specifically to assist Yue in infiltration mission.



FACT EIGHT:  Yue has a nice figure under those suit and veils (not that most of her illustrations were emphasizing her generous bosom or anything...). She also cemented paper lady Paige's (that blonde girl in the turquoise virgin killer sweater) fate as that one girl who everyone ignore. Because it seems she always gets ignored in the comment of her drawings, even when she is primary character.
