Initial review: Daban Sazabi ver. Ka

Okay. After a few hours building this kit up to this point (nevermind the nub marks. I'll redo them later) here are my initial thoughts on the daban Sazabi ver ka.


Since this is a bootleg kit. There will be issues, that is a fact. So im starting off with the negative issues I have experienced.

Out of the box a piece of the metallic silver inner frame was missing.  Though you barely notice it when you assemble the torso.


There are a few fitting issues. For example it's a pain in the ass to transform the shoulder armor of the sazabi thus im keeping it like that.
It still looks badass though.


Other issues of this kit is that some parts are prone to pressure marks Especially at the fore arm and shoulders. DO NOT  apply too much pressure.

The metallic silver runners a1 and a2 are brittle.

It feels... lighter (cheaper feeling)compared to banda but Plastic quality is actually good, overall.

Some fitting issues and over flash are easily fixed with sanding.

My intial thoughts? It a really good clone.of the original. At this point im giving it an 85-87 percent out of a hundred

Stay tuned to this blog as I finish this kit and give my full review and final grade for the Daban Sazabi ver ka.
