Review of Dragon Momoko ZGMF-X12A MG Testament



I have very fond memories of Dragon Momoko as it was the first kit I picked up that started my journey down the hobby route. So presenting the Dragon Momoko ZGMF-X12A MG Testament. The Testament features in the popular series, Gundam SEED and continues Dragon Momoko's obsession with the suits from the SEED series. So far, I have avoided making the other kits from the series with the exception of the sword and launcher variant of the Strike but this suit stands out because of its unique coloring and design.


The box as usual is very simple with a nice view of the Testament on top.


The manual as usual from Dragon Momoko is very colourful and is printed on good quality paper. Daban trumps Dragon Momoko in one aspect though: before building any piece, Daban will list down all the runners that are needed for that piece so its easier to keep them handy before building rather than look around for the runners halfway through the build.




The chest piece snap fit is excellent. The detailing as expected is very good. The colours are particularly eye catching. (Sorry, I have had enough of white and blue colours in these kits, haha)




The head is interesting..the antenna point forward like an insect's.


The hands are typical Dragon Momoko hands with PG quality.


The arms and the shoulder pieces


The top half of the kit ready for action.


The waist unit. So far, the kit is great. The detailing as always has been excellent and the snap fit is very firm, except for the head piece but that can be a little difficult sometimes to get right anyway.


The dainty shoes..nice colour too.



Nice legs lol


Lower half of the kit ready and it is nicely balanced. Can stand on its own.


The kit in one piece...looks great.



The weapons and the shield ready



The front and the rear view of the kit.



The wings open in all their glory along with the extra guns. The pokemon cards around the kit were my son's idea of showing off improving the kit. Hmm..wonder what that implies about the kit. haha

Dragon Momoko has delivered and this kit is great. A great addition to any collection. Ticks all the boxes in my list for plastic kits.
