Advance of Z :: RX-121-2A Advanced Hazel - Introduction
Gundam Heads
I have a confession to make: I do not particularly like Gundam heads 
Anything that does not look like a Gundam, warrants for more attention just because (IMHO) it requires a little bit more imagination to create it. That does not mean I do not like Gundams, quite contrary — they are usually better built than their opponents, it is just their heads…
Advanced Hazel
And that is why I am reviewing this amazing High Grade 1/144 scale kit from BANDAI (released in 2005)! Advanced Hazel got my attention the moment I saw the picture on the box, and I can assure you — this is the relatively rare case when the model itself looks better than its picture I’ll share my model’s pictures with you in my next post about this kit, for now there are couple of photos of the box itself:
The bottom of the box also has some valuable information about the Hazel’s line along with some black-and-white illustrations:
There are 6 runners, one set of foil stickers and one sheet with the decals. The completed model consists of an impressive 198 details (although some of them are interchangeable and can not be attached at the same time).
Here is the picture of runners “B”, “E2″ and stickers:
Runners “A” and “C”:
Runners “D”, “E1″, and polycaps:
What I noticed is that the plastic is of a very high quality, the molding is done wonderfully with so much attention to details — it is just unbelievable! You have to see it with your own eyes.
By the way, Advanced Hazel HAS a Gundam head but you could not see it because of the improved sensor array installed on its forehead thus making RX-121-2A a completely different looking mecha… amazing!
