With all due respect... It's been bound to happen, being that a Daban Models instead of an original Bandai one. Not that this doesn't happen to the Bandai MG Avalanche Exia, it just happens less.
True, but I still refuse to get the Bandai version as it’s still have the soft legs/feet problem. I may wait for myself to have money to enjoy a good metal build version
@@zethythonix maybe, and maybe not, because, as far as I remember I got 2 MGs Exia, one bought when the production was on first run (the standard MG Exia), and the other barely a few months ago, and the plastic for the inner frame feels... Different. Sturdier, solid (for the ignition mode accessories) and all that jazz. With that in mind, it'll still be unable to use the Avalanche accessories, but it'd mean you'd need to tighten a bit less. Recommendation: if you are to tighten an area, I'd go for the polycaps, since those are the most prone to loosen up and also I'd use cyanoacrylate, because, when solidified, it has a lower erosion rate than the polycap itself. Allow it to dry for 2 days and you're good to go.
Since you didn't enjoy exia don't bother with Astrea(hobby star) its the same sanding and tightening problems just more painful parts most notoriously for me the head too tight, too brittle, too much excess plastic for fitting, need to glue for specific version. I'm enjoying the challenge, but not the consequences of my mistakes. Normally it would be easy fix, but I had to sand, chip, and drill to disassemble the leg frame.
The extra runners are actually parts for the other versions of Exia. I'm not sure why they never advertise this but this kit is actually a 5 in 1. You can build it at Exia, Exia Repair 2, Exia Repair 3, Avalanche Exia and finally Avalanche Exia Dash. I've built all three 3rd parties for this. Daban has the most unique style, Dragon Momoko is the smoothest build and Hobby Star has the best part separation (too much in my opinion).
@@jayforms0926 It's not covered in the manual. All the parts are there but you basically have to guess the part placement while looking at reference images from wikia or other source materials. PM me and i'll send you photos of my build for reference if you like.
Nice detailed review about 3rd party kit, especially the tips, tricks, and issues during building it. Hopefully more 3rd party reviews to be coming (*cough* F91 Daban, *cough* Daban Astrea F)
the kit definitely looks beautiful but yeah we still cannot overlook the problems on the kit also, will u review a MG astraea from hobby star? also, good review as always!
With all that weight I'd imagine a kitbwith that much fitting issue would be a hassle, but how does the base exia without the avalanche dash gear hold up? The ankles are soft but with only its original gear, do the soft ankles hold it up well enough?
Hello, is the frame for the kit the same as the original bandai exia? I see a few metal frames being released, was wondering if they are compatible with this kit. IF they share the same frame then they might be compatible minus some of the avalanche specific parts. Otherwise I want to at least use some of the repair parts on a regular exia kit if they share the frame so I don't have to buy another avalanche kit just to build those.
1:35 I think the logo got removed because you got the bad copy from the batch. I mean that most daban products are dependant on the "luck" of your batch since most (local) stores in my area got the whole box and the logo for the stand. So yeah, it's unfortunate you get one. btw, since we're talking about avalanche exia, are you gonna purchase the one that Hobby Star made? From what I could see, it has considerably better quality than that of Daban. Great video by the way ^^
Oh sweet, I've been keeping an eye on HS kits recently like the exia repair set, the avalanche, and the red/blue astraea. Idk which one to buy so I'm really be looking forward to your review on one soon ^^/
@@zethythonix Bandai's ABS frame is much more good and feel better to use and build. I guess Daban " did " nailed / not nailed the plastic runners after all. Bandai : 10/10 Daban : 3/10
Does this have the Repair 2 parts included? I saw at SamuelDecal that the Repair parts were included in his kit, but I don't know if it is included in all models.
It's not excess . Its extra part that is not included on manual. I just built one last night. And i was shock that daban did a good job for giving me option to build original exia 😑😑😑 your a builder but didnt notice every single piece . Especially on runner M
To myself, I am not a kitbasher or some sort of professional. If it’s not included in the manual, I will mostly ignore it. Sorry if this small detail bothered you.
@@zethythonix no dont say sorry. Its your own opinion. I just add some details for your video so that many people will follow you next time. I know my comment for you is a lesson . Thank you for making it positive opinion 😊😊😊
I build a daban Mg Redframe just last month to replace my old one which is also daban...& oh man.. the quality dropped down.. the plastic.. the fitting.. it's painful.. so I can only imagine how much you've gone through building that.. I miss the old daban model..
I started doing gunpla sept 2020, I didnt encounter any loose parts. Some tight fittings are managable. This kit is my 2nd time to build. I dont understand the struggle you faced,given you are a seasoned builder.
Soooooo. KOs are just fine for Masterpiece Transformers...but not so much for Gundam Model Kits? (I've seen reviews of the Supernova Gundam Wing Endless Waltz MGs...they look alright, but the excessive pointy bits and the bizarre color scheme and even more bizarre lookin' batwing cape of Deathscythe-Hell *really* puts me off) And from how this looks, I can only imagine the Bandai version being just as bad on articulation (cuz it probably ain't very stable).
Dude i think you have been scamed with the waterslide, a friend of mine had the same problems but with different part on the slide. I think someone had fuck up their waterslide so they took it from others....
If I remember correctly, they cut out some of the marking decals for fear of getting sued by Bandai. The Daban Exia came out shortly after Dragon Momoko got raided by the police. That's also probably the reason why they didn't include instructions for the R2/R3 modes, since they didn't drastically alter the look of those parts, unlike with the Avalanche ones.

Bro pwidi ba sa straight build ng Exia ang KIT na to? MG Exia kase ng DABAN ang hinahanap ko kaso wala ako makita eh.

Damn, never realized the avalanche exia was such a bulky gunpla, looks pretty good to display, if everything manages to stick together long enough.
Yes, it is bulky, but it’s not sticking together as the review finished the storage on the back completely fell off
Well that's a bummer, so you'd basically have to glue it to be displayed
You can build the exia repair 2 and 3 with the leftovers runners but its not in the manual you need to build it with your instinct
True
hi sorry i am bumping this comment. Do you mean I can literally make another kit on the remaining runners or I need extra MG exia unit?
the kit definitely looks beautiful but yeah we still cannot overlook the problems on the kit
also, will u review a MG astraea from hobby star? also, good review as always!
Yes I will, it’s in my backlog right now, I will do it maybe in December I will guess?
@@zethythonix oooh cool!
Thank you for sharing. Highly appreciated.

Slightly different, I don’t have the kit right now, it’s in my messy backlog
This youtube channel is fricking hilarious
Mine has no fitting issues and the base does cone with the logo. I did notice that my box y bigger than yours, not sure if yours is a bootleg.
That’s the point of Daban...
Does it have the parts for repair 2 and 3?
Yes

Nah. I got the Astrera from HS and I don’t think I wanna build another Avalanche EXIA
Oh sweet, I've been keeping an eye on HS kits recently like the exia repair set, the avalanche, and the red/blue astraea. Idk which one to buy so I'm really be looking forward to your review on one soon ^^/
Mine also didn’t get the detailed base
Is the plastic feels is the same or different ABS frame like other BANDAI SPIRITS Gunpla kits?
Ur not?
The plastic felt very hard, doesn’t feel any similar to Bandai, it’s Daban so plastic is not gonna be too good
@@zethythonix Bandai's ABS frame is much more good and feel better to use and build.
I guess Daban " did " nailed / not nailed the plastic runners after all.
Bandai : 10/10
Daban : 3/10
Accurate
@@zethythonix Hmm, well you should get the original MG Gundam Avalanche Exia. It will cure your depression from the Daban's copyright infringement.
But the Bandai version doesn’t look good IMO, maybe I will get a Metal Build in like 4 years later
regarding the extra exia repair part, do the part can be build separately from the avalanche or its just some extra part for customizing purpose?
Extra parts for customizations
@@zethythonix thanks for clarification dude 💪🏻
Does this have the Repair 2 parts included? I saw at SamuelDecal that the Repair parts were included in his kit, but I don't know if it is included in all models.
Yes, there are parts for repair II and III
@@zethythonix
Great to know, I'll buy this kit just for that.
This really is an eye candy.
Have you done a review of the Daban Sword Impulse?
You mean the detailed force impulse? The image was mistaken as sword impulse
@@zethythonix Yeah, I want to buy the Dabban Sword Impulse (Red one) but Ive never built a Dabban kit so i'm scared lol
@@itsmigu_6774 some of them are good, like the Mars Jacket one
@@zethythonix i'll try it out, thank you for responding :)
So pretty, but I can tell its a statue from here
Is Kit had LED unit yet?
Nope, LED separate
Can someone tell me,how to cut the soft rubber?
Idk, I just YEET that rubber with the nipper
I bought a daban red frame on my birthday and it broke
Can you review the nu gundam ver ka daban version
I don't plan to get it but I will probably do the Bandai version
Can you build the normal exia, R2 and R3 off of the extra parts?
I think it will miss a couple parts
@@zethythonix I was thinking of buying 2 of the daban avalanche exia which of the version of exia is complete tho?
It's not excess . Its extra part that is not included on manual. I just built one last night. And i was shock that daban did a good job for giving me option to build original exia 😑😑😑 your a builder but didnt notice every single piece . Especially on runner M

Wait, so dramok still producing model kit till this day?
Yes, they are now called MJH
Where do you buy daban kits?
Gundam Central, search it on Google and you will find it
I'm thinking of getting this one just because of the normal exia because the bandai mg versions are notorious for being flimsy, is this one worth it?
Well, a lot of trimming and sanding, it will hurt your brain and fingers, are you ready for it? If so, buy it
ok, thank you for the information ^-^
go for the hobby star, the plastic and the fitting is great
I dont know why but my kit have no fitting issue at all, I just snap fit it together (with some minor sanding and glue) like my normal bandai kit
What daban model?
Nahh. Stop hyping bootleg. Stop comparing bootleg from original. Bootlegs doesn't come close to the original.
Can I get the link to buy this it’s a statue but it’s one badass statue
Unfortunately, Gundam Central went out of stock and it’s not on the page anymore
I build a daban Mg Redframe just last month to replace my old one which is also daban...& oh man.. the quality dropped down.. the plastic.. the fitting.. it's painful.. so I can only imagine how much you've gone through building that.. I miss the old daban model..
Problems aside do you prefer the daban or the bandai avalanche exia?
Dragon Momoko, but for colors I preferred Daban, Bandai is last because the finish doesn't worth its price.
It does have the Exia normal form?
You don’t have enough parts for it, missing some parts here and there
I started doing gunpla sept 2020, I didnt encounter any loose parts. Some tight fittings are managable. This kit is my 2nd time to build. I dont understand the struggle you faced,given you are a seasoned builder.
Third party kits are always like gambling because you never know whether it's a tight one or a loose one.
@@zethythonix oh i see, not every kit is the same?
@@Msunphase5 that's why some people got easier process and some don't
@@zethythonix only problem i had on these is that extra parts dont have manual
this unit + xx model gn arms = badass.
my only problem when building this kit was the butt flap.
Straight build?
Ye
Why didnt you just use mighty bond cause for me thats the best glue one dip on that it will stay in the position thats for sure trust me
is the limbs loose?
The legs are slightly loose
@@zethythonix thank
Dragon Momoko Deathscythe?
Nah, not very interested
@16:27 you will be finished
At least for display it looks great!
Review daban full armor unicorn ver ka
Nah man I am tired of Unicorn
Same with hobbystar avalanche
Looks like a mix of Hg 1/100 and Mg style parts
you can make Gundam Exia R1-R3 from the remaining panels. In my op I prefer Avalanche Exia Hobby star
Daban 09?
?
will you do a daban vs bandai video? for example their plastic quality etc
Maybe, but not for this Exia
Plastic quality comparison? C'mon man, it's pretty obvious... Bandai all day. Don't expect too much on bootlegs. You get what you paid for...
I will wait you to review the mb version daban mg 00qant
Here is the problem, I can’t find it on Gundam Central. If they got it I am interested to make one review about it
@@zethythonix theres shopee and lazada
@@io5362 oh those will be good too!
I have that one and it’s an absolute beauty. Just some minor problems with 1 part tho..but i guess that’s just my kit.
But overall it’s awesome.
I would never trust Daban. I once bought it just for the sake of training myself before i went to Bandai.
Soooooo. KOs are just fine for Masterpiece Transformers...but not so much for Gundam Model Kits?

Both version don’t hold good IMO, the true good ones is the Dragon Momoko one but it’s already in the extinction list
Theres an hg of this gundam buy it i kinda orderd one
the old daban models are great but now the daban kit are kinda lose they only focus on design and they lessen the fittings 😭
Wait, it’s just skiing exia ?
Pretty much yeah, but a sloppy skiing Exia
How tight the part u said it was supposed to be loose tho
