Anyway, Exia's fans, anyone getting the Trans-Am mode? I'll definitely pass on this one, since I've the normal version already, and not to mention the plan to get Astraea and Avalanche Exia. I might bore myself out assembling so many Exias XD

Also, 1/100 Avalanche Exia is now available on Hobby Search.



Despite being the third variations using Exia's frame (after Astraea and Astraea Type F), the bulkiness of the model and the huge number of parts are reasons good enough for me to include this on my (already very long ^^;) to-get list.


Foil stickers (a lot of them!) for the interior of the thrusters(?). Also, parts like the shoulder armors are newly molded, so you can't really convert Avalanche Exia back to its original form.


Clear stickers of the Celestial Beings' emblem included.


The many red 'X's tells you how many runners are actually being recycled reused from the original Exia.

EDITED: After running through the manual again, I found out that all the runners for Exia (A to H, SB-8 and PC-116) are included in Avalanche Exia. Even foil stickers for the forearms and legs which are not needed for Avalanche Exia are included as well. So the convertibility between the two is actually 100% ^^

Just make sure you follow the manual of Exia from sites like Dalong if you're intending such conversion ^^
