HGUC 1/144 Gundam Pale Rider RX-80PR Limited Metallic Ver.


















It has a special set of external fuel tanks and thrusters to give the unit higher speed and better manoeuvrability.



I did a brief post on this Gunpla back in July 2014 when I received it as present from my lovely wifee. This is a not for sale kit, limited edition metallic version kit bundled to 'Gundam Side Stories Missing Link Limited Edition Box Set'. The content included PS3 Game: Mobile Suit Gundam Side Stories, Mobile Suit Gundam Gaiden Series Original Soundtrack, Mobile Suit Gundam Gaiden Missing Link Booklet and a priceless Ganpura HGUC "Pale Rider" Limited Metalic Ver. Mobile suit appearing episode that is recorded PlayStation3 game software dedicated to "Mobile Suit Gundam Side Stories" and "Mobile Suit Gundam Gaiden missing link" and "Pale Rider" Mobile Suit. It has a special set of external fuel tanks and thrusters to give the unit higher speed and better manoeuvrability.

It's glorious, I love the molding has become a special specification of shiny metallic colours and the possibility is pretty good. This is a dark machine so the nub marks kind of stay hidden and looks nice even just straight built. The joints are also beautiful molded in gun metal colour. The body is formed of a metallic colour, even without paint, pale rider realistic with the solid feeling will be completed just assemble. The design of Pale Rider shares a lot of resembles to the Blue Destiny and the clear red visor definitely gives the mecha a menacing look. The HADES (HYPER ANIMOSITY DETECT ESTIMATE SYSTEM) version is based on the EXAM system of Blue Destiny. Can simply says it goes into a berserk mode when under the influence of the system, the mobile suit's visor glows red and all of its exhaust vents glow yellow. The yellow and white on the kit are foil stickers nonetheless they blend well to the kit when pasted accurately. 

On the down side, this kit only comes with very basic accessories. There is no optional hand and the only weapon included are the pair of melee beam sabers which can be mounted to the side the skirts and insert well to the hands. It won't be much of an issue if you have a range of other HGUC to share weapons with. Bandai is very smart on getting to get more of Pale Rider with the released of heavily armed version of the Pale Rider (Heavy equipment Ver.) as well as the Pale Rider (Space Type) if you are into specific attachments you are in the game.
