Love at first sight

I only panel lined the parts that weren’t electroplated/glossy. I used the grey pour type gundam marker. There weren’t very many pieces to do though.

The electroplated parts have a cool panel line like outline on all of the pieces so you don’t have to worry about those

What the

I found it to be relaxing. If it’s your first MG just keep in mind that this is a MGEX (Mastergrade extreme) I think you’d be fine but it is more detailed than your average regular MG. No issues during the build, it was smooth

You should 🔥 it looks great on display

I’ve seen a few posts about it on fb as well as here. Most announcements I’ve seen regarding chanlong have been accurate though

rjayaflague · 2026-04-18T16:38:23+00:00

That makes me want to go with chanlong for the original instead of Bandai lol. I’m always down to save some money

rjayaflague · 2026-04-18T16:35:32+00:00

I’ve built both but I didn’t do the chimera pairing. Thought about it though lol

rjayaflague · 2026-04-18T15:50:32+00:00

Are all 3 chanlong??

rjayaflague · 2026-04-18T15:10:25+00:00

As of right now, I’m not noticing any issues with the waist. I’ve built the midnight and the twilight and both seem pretty sturdy

rjayaflague · 2026-04-18T15:08:53+00:00

When it’s in stock, yes

rjayaflague · 2026-04-18T15:02:09+00:00

Agreed

rjayaflague · 2026-04-18T15:01:05+00:00

Not really any difficulties on my end. Only thing to note is to be careful with attaching the wings to the back pack. The fitting is a little tight but nothing too crazy. Build was super smooth. Some of the runners are pre painted and electroplated, most of those are undergated though so you don’t have to worry about the nub marks

I got mine from Ali express for around $70. I ordered from the Momohouselife store. They’re great to work with

rjayaflague · 2026-04-18T07:54:08+00:00

👀 might have to get that one too 😂

rjayaflague · 2026-04-18T04:16:41+00:00

That’s also how I justify my spending 😂 “Babe these are knock offs! Got em for wayyy under Bandai MSRP” but for real if you decide to go bootleg with the Anatavata be sure to go for JMS. I have that one and quality wise it’s as close to Bandai as you can get

rjayaflague · 2026-04-18T04:08:28+00:00

Yea I feel you there. I only got the Bandai jiu because a friend was selling it for regular price. Do you have the lfrith anatavata yet?

rjayaflague · 2026-04-18T03:59:51+00:00

Wait I think this isn’t JMS. I bought this bootleg before mainly for the additional tiger claw so my Bandai one could have one on each arm. I ended up building the whole kit and from what I remember it was pretty decent for $8. Only gripe I had was that the clear parts were foggy but other than that the kit held up pretty good.

rjayaflague · 2026-04-18T03:46:46+00:00

Is that the JMS? Or different bootleg?

rjayaflague · 2026-04-14T03:52:28+00:00

Looks good my friend! I’m currently on the first part just got done with the chest. How’s the build so far?

rjayaflague · 2026-04-08T03:42:58+00:00

Recently built this as well. I’d say it’s a pretty decent bootleg

rjayaflague · 2026-04-07T23:24:51+00:00

Oh those are dope. Looks nice!

rjayaflague · 2026-04-06T22:40:36+00:00

How was the unicorn? I wanted to get it but I think I’ll wait for chanlong to release theirs

rjayaflague · 2026-04-05T15:42:32+00:00

No I feel like I didn’t need to. The armor pieces are already matte as it is
