now the REAL question is, can the OLD HG Akatsuki EQUIP the new Zeus canon like the RG Akatsuki ??? :O also props for having the Superlink Galvatron at the back :D
Yup I've seen the vids of the RG Akatsuki dilemma and will only grab it on deep discount not retail. I've built HG Akatsuki Oowashi and it's decent enough. I might just grab the RG Shiranui backpack modifying it to fit the HG if I can't find the RG for under $40 during Sales.
What a ridiculous choice by Bandai to go back to the not so advanced MS joint frame. Are they that out of touch with their customers or just going for the lazy cash grab. The last few new RGs I built were awesome. The Hi Nu, the Wing, Zeong. All solid kits. I don't get it!
@LatencyProblem I think the word "letdown" is a completely accurate term to describe the RG akatsuki. It uses an outdated system that is known to wear down over time. Especially coming out after the RG hi nu and the 2.0, it's disappointing to see Bandai cheap out and use a flawed system to save a couple pennies.
The 1/100 model wasn’t that bad. The touch ups weren’t that different from MG strike freedom; the knuckles and around the wings. Not the greatest articulation, but came with both back packs

Gotta love the gaudy, super shiny gold. Makes sense to wear gloves when handling them.
There’s a spray made from DSPIAE that can be use of shiny surfaces and it reduces dust and surprisingly prevent fingerprints with your natural oil.
Thanks for the review especially post RG. my local hobby shop actually has this in stock so I might as well pick it up
@@theasianconversation7349 I would definitely recommend, especially if you like the shiny gold!

@Noizemaze4 I really hope it is compatible with the Zurs silhouette. That would be awesome!

@xxraverxxonxtacy Hopefully people will decide not to get it, due to it ysing the old MS Joint Frame, so it can go on sale
That's why i still prefer the HG or HGCE compare to RG
Let down mentioned
I like this kit.

@bogrot69 Hopefully people will vote with their wallets and bandai won't use the MS joint frame again!
HG has such a weird proportion.
@talesj1987 it does but it's not the worse thing in the world
"the rg was a letdown" says person who literally cant tighten joints on the hips. More at 11.

Imagine paying higher-than-usual prices for a kit in that grade and having to exert extra effort and resources just to make it stable
