MG Sinanju Stein - First Look

After 2 Sinanjus and one commission in line, you can see why I wasn't really enthusiastic about Stein. Firstly, what's with "Stein"? Looked up wikipedia and the best I can made sense of is it means "stone" or "rock". Sinanju Rock, Sinanju Stone!? Flintstone? Oh well, never mind... 

So when it arrived at Hobby Art Gallery, I did not grab it immediately. For the first time, I actually held back. I had to RECONSIDER this purchase. Well, less than 24 hours later,  I was back and got myself 2 Steins instead of 1.  Picked up my Shield Liger Ramar Special as well :)

Why two? Well, I thought Sinanju Stein FWS will be a good companion for my Sinanju FWS.

Will this be a standard issue for future Master Grades? Don't think so... 

Spare hip internal structure 

Feet are not as streamline as the Red Comet's 

Unfortunately, feedback fell on deaf ears again. That troublesome peg is still there. So guys,take great care when posing it. If not, HAG offers repair services for broken/ twisted pegs. LOL... 

Yes, water decals but no dry transfers this time. 

The bozooka should be able to connect to The red Sinanju's beam rifle. 

   

Well, my daughter likes it... 

Final comments.

- Posiblilty is somewhat limited. 

- Wrist joints too weak to hold beam rifle. 

- Still don't like the head. Looks "naked" to me. 

- Ball joints pops out easily. 

My view is this is a rather plain model. This actually works in my favor. Can't do much if Bandai detail up this one. Pity I can't work on this one now cause I have some splendid ideas in mind. Well back to my PG Strike...
