Review HG Jegan Ecoas type (Daban)

Before anything else I would like to apologize for the delay of this review. Real life tends to screw up ones plans and time tables.

With that out off the way let's get on with the review of the Daban HGUC Jegan ECOAS type

I am not a monoeye. I am a visor type!!!

HG's or high grades are Bandai's highly populated difficulty level of kits. It is usually aimed at beginners to intermediate builders. The hg collection houses a wide variety of model kits and their variants not found in other grades like mg, rg, pg etc.

Here we have an example of that. This is the Jegan Ecoas type. Of course this unit is based on the Jegan, and is an elite variant of that unit.

Let me get to the point. Building this kit was a challenge not because it is bad but because I had expected too much from it.

I had to surpress my dissatisfaction and I to remind myself that :
A) this is a high grade
B) this is a grunt unit
C) this is a bootleg
D) this a universal century HG

If you're looking for; hi nu vrabe level of gimmicks and accessories, build burning gundam level of flexibility, posability or effect parts, or just a decent Bandai level of build quality I suggest you look elsewhere.

Conclusion

Plastic quality:  70% its the same plastic as Daban's The O.

Posability: 70% it has the same posability as the lightning gundam (which is a remodelled re-gz). It can't open it's legs more than 30 degrees. Oh well its not a high mobility suit so I guess thats expected.

Build quality: 75% usual bootleg problems. I had to sand and widen a lot (almost all)of pegs  just to snap it fit without exerting too much pressure on the parts.

Colors: honestly, the colors look a little pale.

Final thoughts: I like it for an hg. Although I hate the foils stickers. Overall for the price this is a good addition
