Kit Review

Straight build + Panel lining + Decals

The universal standard for size comparison — the cigarette pack. Yep, it's ridiculously wide. ~

The decals on the back are supposed to be yellow, but I had to substitute them with white decals from elsewhere. ^^;

Dual-wielding (?) Qubeley Mk-II

Shoulder interior detail

Flight mode. Kinda looks like a mosquito.. -.-;

Underside in flight mode. The shoulder armor is so huge that the arms can tuck in completely.

Comparison with the Qubeley Mk. I. The only difference is the molded color.

Following the white Qubeley that appeared in Z Gundam, the blue Qubeley Mk-II from ZZ Gundam has also gotten the HGUC treatment. Since the original design has the Mk. I and Mk-II differing only in color, this Qubeley Mk-II is a color variant with absolutely no structural changes compared to the previous white Qubeley Mk. I — just molded in a different color. Well, that's how the original design goes, so what can you do ^^; (Only the variant collectors are happy about this one...) That said, the blue molded color has a relatively premium feel to it, which is nice.

One bonus is that dry-transfer decals for the Neo Zeon markings on the shoulders are included. However, in my case, the dry transfers had somehow stuck to the backing paper and were completely unusable (-.-;). I've used plenty of MG dry transfers before, but I've never seen this happen. So I had no choice but to skip the included dry transfers and pick out the Neo Zeon markings from leftover MG dry transfer sheets instead. That's why the back sections — which should have yellow decals front and back — ended up with white decals. T_T

Anyway, since it's fundamentally just a color variant with a different molded color, all the characteristics — articulation, structure, everything — are identical to the original Qubeley. And while it's different from the white Qubeley, the blue Qubeley has its own kind of charisma that works pretty well. ^^
