Unboxing: System Base 001 : (Gunpla) Builders Parts 1/144

In an attempt to have a substitute to the Unicorn's MS Cage for 1/144 scale.. I stumbled upon this.






It goes retail for 900 Yen, though you can get this for a 20% discount in HLJ. Not bad at all..


First Impressions :


  • I'm surprised that the box is as big as the normal HGUCs.
  • Photos around the box are pretty straightforward of what it does and can do
  • The width of the entire base can be easily adjusted thus accomodating narrow ones like the RG RX-78-2 to wider ones like the HGUC Unicorn. 
  • The tilting of the base/ "inner" frame is a very nice gimmick.

Thoughts :

 

  •  Simple and straightforward manuals. Nothing fancy
  • Disappointed on parts separation, an example is the frames on each side are just one piece.
  • All molded in dark grey, will need to be painted to make it look like the box cover photo
  • Looks to be a sturdy build
  • Has more than enough gimmicks for 720 Yen


Looking forward to this! Will probably be done in 20-30 mins judging on the number of plates and parts.
