TT Hongli 1/144 Throne Eins Review.

This Hongli model kit happens to be my second one . I am rather impressed by this but at some point felt that it has some major flaws.

Pilot: Johann Trinity
Height: 18.6m
Weight: 67.1t
Armaments: GN Laucher, GN Beam Rifle, GN Beam Saber(2), GN Shield

MS Story Info:
The Throne Eins is piloted by one of the three Trinity Siblings, Johann Trinity. He is the eldest among the three as well as the leader figure. The Throne Eins specializes in long range weaponry and requires the assistance from the other two Thrones to use the full power of its Mega Launcher...

I always failed to get the original Throne Eins for some odd reason as its always sold out unlike the Throne Drei and Throne Zwei.

Read on for the full review. Not much action poses as I'll go into detail on the build this time, which is what I think most of you would want to know about bootleg model kits. =)


Part 1: Box





Part 2: Box Open!

Part 3: Runners







The "best runner". They gave an additional shoulder part(the one that broke off) which shouldn't really be there! Now you can both sides of the shoulder with these peg parts unlike how its supposed to be only for one side(to connect to the shield). Not much uses though, but if you have the Throne Zwei, you can stick the buster sword on the right shoulder now(as long as you use the pegged part).

Part 4.1: parts.






























Part 5: Throne Eins Part 5.1: Up, Left, Down, Right!


































Part 6: Conclusion
Pros

• Fairly cheap.
  
• Main body is sturdy.
• Stickers can stick.
• Most details seems to be kept.

Cons

• Backpack is quite lose and needs some super glue here and there to make sure it doesn't fall appart too easily.
• Head needs some extra work before you can put the pieces together and cannot move vertically.
  
• Stickers are a bit color inaccurate.

Overall, the model kit is quite nice. Some parts are a bit lose and doesn't seem to fit in well, but in the end, I didn't need to go to much ends to finish building it.

Recommended? Sorta. If you want the Throne Eins and cannot get the original like me, this bootleg is a pretty good substitute. Just make sure you have a knife with you to carve off the excess plastic that may plague the bootleg(as this problem varies from person to person). If you're very lucky, you may get one that is molded better.

Until the next review... I wish my Internet was back to normal... D=
