Review: SD AGE-2 Normal, Double Bullett - 76.3% , 77.5%

Now for the first review on one of my lady's kits. She makes those silly girl noises every time she sees a SD model. Now, while this is a terrible sound it does mean she has interest in the Gundam world and shows an actual want to learn how to build and paint them as well.

Kit: SD AGE-2
Cost: $16.00
Detail: 7/10
Color: Age-2 7/10 , Age-2 Double Bullet 8/10
Articulation: 6/10

Other Stuff: 9/10
Cute Factor: 9/10
Fun: 8/10
Overall: 76.3% , 77.5%


DETAIL:  7/10
As far as detail goes it is normal SD quality. There are details where there needs to be and that is all. A few snap in color parts but most of the details will have to be hand painted if you want them to stand out.

COLOR:  7/10
Standard blue on white with yellow and red. Even though there are not that many pieces, it looks good. You do of course get the bits to build the Age-2 Double Bullet and get way more reds and I think this look better over all but the g/f wanted to build the one with the big wings. That is fine since we will be painting it anyway.

ARTICULATION:  6/10
It's an SD for goodness sake. It has a giant head that wobbles. Some parts are to loos and some to tight. No knees keeps the lower end pretty still while the upper bit has a little more to work with. Elbows are a good thing.

BUILD QUALITY: 8/10
I know this is a simple model and that build should be fine. For this little SD it is very good. Everything fits together great with one exception, the head. It wobbles. But after you paint it it tightens up just enough.

WEAPONS:  7/10
The weapon selection, while not great is ok for this cheap kit. You get a gun and a beam saber. You also get some more guns for the Age-2 Double Bullet

OTHER STUFF:  9/10
Here is some good stuff. You get enough things to build a different kit as well as parts to make core fighters for either of the bodies you decide to go with.

FUN:  8/10
It is a silly little kit that is fun to show people if only because if how silly it looks. The g/f was having a great time showing it off during the test build. once she gets some more kits under her belt I assume there will be epic, large headed, tiny battles.

CUTE FACTOR:9/10
I give this such a high grade here because it is pretty cute. I mean, come on. It has googly eyes. The age kits on a whole are meant more for kids so when you SD them of course they will be cute.

Overall:  76.3% , 77.5%
As a whole this kit is good times. Easy to build. Looks good. The only reason for the low scores is due to reasons you don't really look for to much in an SD Kit anyways.
