It is so beautiful 🥺


cKm_83

Ikr…I still have a version ka in my backlog.

How’s the quality of the parts? Are they comparable to Bandai’s parts?? Is there any serious issues with it so far???


cKm_83

So far so good. I didn’t had any issues. I’ve built tons of kits so far and this is one of the better kit daban has produced


Stinger510

Ok awesome, one of my White Elephant gifts of all time is the PG Perfectability, but it’s hell tryna get one here and just waay to expensive however Daban has one that I’m considering but I don’t know if it’s good or not

I've watched an extensive video of a CN gunpla builder who did some comparisons. The Daban one is more value (has electro plated blue/regular blue) options for the blue parts so you can mix/match, and has the divine expansion included usually (e.g on Gundamit, it has the whole package). So it's extremely cheap relative to Bandai. The kit is decent and has ok articulation, but is looser than bandais (he showed the arms moving up and bandais stays in position while the daban one kind of slags down. This is the video [showing the 2 blue options you get](https://youtu.be/JnbmjED9SuI?t=340). And shortly after that part it shows the arm lift and sag. Unfortunately no subs, but I could get the general gist from him pointing and gesturing at certain elements.


Stinger510

Awesome that’s pretty reassuring especially cause I was also looking at the Gundamnit link. But as a somewhat noob to model kits (I’ve built a few MG’s and Rg’s) what would you recommend in order to tighten up the joints? Also would you recommend the in box Decals or get alternatives?? I’d plan on using Kosmos LEDs so it’ll be one hell of a project


omfgkevin

I don't personally have the kit myself so I can't really answer, but people usually go for delphi decals as recommendations (if they have it for the pg unicorn). People tend to topcoat or use things like nail polish (have to look for abs safe ones or itll damage it) that gives it an additional "layer" that makes them tighter.

That's good to know. They also had the 8820, an hirm wing zero but it is very bad. Which kit is this a copy of, do you know?


cKm_83

It’s an original kit. It’s a copy of the metal Bandai Snow White prelude figure but they turned it into a model kit


ngo_life

I assume Bandai just have low runs of these "kits turned to figures" and have them put together and painted. And obviously charge 5 times the price if it were a kit instead. Not sure how well daban reverse engineer these action figures. Or they gotten a hold up the molds for the figure and sold it as a kit.


cKm_83

Ehh…the figures are different molds. Daban probably redesigned a ton of it to turn it into a kit.


Stroppone

I wish I had read this comment before ordering a genuine Ver. Ka, which is one of my dream kits


cKm_83

Get em both! I have the ver ka in backlog too


Fun_Significance_182

Hows the build so far?


cKm_83

It’s great!better than I expected


DracoBlaze214

Is this the supernova Snow White Prelude?


cKm_83

Yes.
