HG DOM R35

I received this amazing kit as a Christmas Gift from my lovely fiancee, at first I must say thank you to my love, I always want to have and build this kit xD When I first saw this Gundam in Build Fighters Series I was very impressed.  Mr. Ral show us his best xD Close combat Gundam type with two multipurpose shields, trusters and claws everywhere xD I just love Gundams with two or more shields xD

BOX PREVIEW

Very nice front print from HG Build Fighters. As usually HG Logo with Build Fighters addition, main title DOM R35 with informations about pilot and grade (1/144). And we cant forget to BANDAI logo xD


Very nice front and rear real pictures with some specs and story. Types of plastic are PS and PE and price is 1800 Yen, this is the most important informations for me xD


Different poses possibilities with some detailed informations about movement and some Build Fighters picture with Amazing Red Warrior xD


Number 039 in Build Fighters series said us, that we dont have previous 38 kits xD


RUNNERS PREVIEW

Ten runners with two shades of blue, white, transparent and grey colour. One foil sticker sheet dont tell us nothing good xD. RUNNER A in darker blue colur with some outer armor parts.


RUNNERs B1 and B2 has very lovely light blue colur, my favourite colour in this kit xD Outer armor parts, hands, feet, etc etc xD


RUNNERS C1 and C2 in grey with some inner parts, trusters and many more interesting parts xD


RUNNER D a.k.a. my favoutite runner with my favourite colour xD Some shoulder and foot parts I think xD


RUNNER E, sorry when I sad that Runner D is my favourite, sooo I told You lie xD Shield spikeeeeeks xD Cant wait to build this shields xD


RUNNER G, RUNNER F and polycap PC-002 in transparent, white and grey colour xD Smallest runner I ever saw, I mean look at this tiny transparent piece xD White parts will make nice colour separation and Polycap runner is for, ehm you know for what xD


FOIL STICKER SHEET, ahh I hate stickers, I mean stickers for eye or little details is good, but  look at this huge blue stickers, embarrassing xD


MANUAL, what to say, usuall folding manual for High Grade with very nice Build Fighters design.


I had to make this photo, this double page is so nice, look at all poses xD I cant wait to start build this kit!


ASSEMBLING

After some Real Grade builds this will be a welcome change for me. Assembly process start with torso, than shoulders, head, hands, foots, waist and my favourite mutlipurpose shields xD

BODY

When I start build this torso I was impressed how big this parts actually are xD After RG builds whis was shock for me xD Two shades of blue, grey and white parts may not be absent xD

What?! Trusters on the front ?! Hell Yeah baby xD I like this Gundam already xD Like the white pipes around head, Zaku look xD


BACK BODY TRUSTERS

Trusters even in this phaze of the build? Wait, that was second trusters ? Trusters everywhere xD Ehm, I applied some grey stickers and snapped together everything xD


Final Back Body Trusters looks nice, but after all, we have no movement in the back xD Like the small piece between trusters, seems to be for something like hook xD


SHOULDERS

Shoulder contains only with four parts, fits fogether pretty well and after that, we get some pretty decent looking shoulder. Like a little blue colour separation in the bottom part.

This design works for me, Shape of this shoulder reminds me something like dragon ball with robocop together xD


HEAD

Six tiny parts give us opportunity to made head of  DOM with our hands xD Inner grey parts, which one is for monoeye holding, antenna, main head part and my favourite clear head part.


Building process - stick together grey inner parts - apply little pink sticker for monoeye - join together main part of head and clear part - make three different pictures from variuos angles for gundam fans xD


In the end not too much movement, but what, design of head rock this Gundam xD When we want to move with monoeye, we must disassembly head, move monoeye and assembly head back, Ehm I think that I let monoeye on same position xD


ARM

Holy hell, so much part ? Just kidding xD Same colours as with previous, wait, Iam sorry guys, we have here some white parts for claws xD Actually hands are pretty detailed and ready for some panellining xD


Double elbow joint always made me smile xD Movement possibilities are good, claws works fine and I know what for is Little grey hole (devil smile again xD).


We get one pair of standard fist hands and one left open hand. Actually this hands are pretty big and well-detailded.


Both of hands looks nice attached to chest, mobility is decend and everything seems to be pretty stabil.


LEG

Leg contains with many differend parts. We have here really big parts and really small parts xD
Some nice details of bottom of the leg, some grey inner parts, white claws, and everything elese is outer armor with two shades of blue.


Easy snap-fit give us three foot parts. Lower leg is actually one piece, nothing moveable here xD Middle part of foot have some nice colour separation with nice moveable white claws.  Upper leg parts have double joint with some inner greyish parts.


I never thought that this Foot will be so bulky xD I mean, look at the size of this think, omg xD


Some collage here from different angles. We can see open claws here, some truster movement and movement possibilities of foot.

WAIST, WAIST TRUSTERS

Blue outweigh colour here, some grey moveable inner frame parts, very nice front waist armor and some polycaps. That are parts of last body part of our DOM R35.


Differen points of view of R35 Waist, Front and side parts are moveable and after changing position they hold their new position. Main back parts does not move, but trusters move a lot xD Like this feature xD

WEAPONS - DOUBLE MULTIPURPOSE SHIELDS

Definitelly my favourite part of this build! Look at his spikes and shapes of every part xD Cant wait to assembly this weapon xD


 Hell Yeah Baby xD Ok, this is my favourite shield so far, close range shields with spikes and even gun ? Yeah, definitelly my favourite shield! Pictures show us fifferend possibilities how to use this shield. Two handles from both sides, side light grey parts are moveable and whole shield is moveable at the centre. Lets make some photos with R35 together, cant wait xD


PROS AND CONS, MY THOUGHTS

+ Design of this gundam is just beautyful
+ White parts makes a huge difference
+ Color separation is great
+ Shield and trusters design
+ Movement of shirt plates and torso
+ Fast and enjoyable build
+ Possibilities of shield posing
+ Shield attachment on hand is really really secure and tight

- Ball joint on lower leg is kinda weak and cant hold whole weight of this Gundam 
- Movement of whole Gundam is very limited, but its cost of bulky design
- Trusters are almost unmovable, except back waist trusters and foot trusters
- All stickers, except monoeye
- When you pose hand with shield too high, balljoint on arm have problems with holding such a      weight
- When you want to change monoeye position, first you must disassembly head
