Extended Mobile Suit in Action RX-178 Gundam Mk. II Review

We'll I'll try a review on the EMSIA Gundam Mk. II both Titan and AEUG versions. I just got the Titan Mk. II today so I thought I'll try this out.

Colors: The AEUG ver. has the more tradition Gundam colors (white, red, yellow, but the blue is more grayish). The Titan ver. is more dark (dark blue, red, yellow, and black). The Titan ver. however has it's colors weathered.

Head: It's on a ball joint, will move around 360, up and down, forwards and back.

Body: Torso is on a ball joint and the skirt will hinder rotation. A number is painted on the lower part of the back skirts.

Arms: The arm is on a bunch of separate ball joints. One for the shoulder joint, one for the shoulder armor, and one for the arm. The arm will move around 360 above the arm, back and forth at the elbow, and the hand is on a ball joint which will rotate 360. The Titan ver. has a number painted on its left shoulder. Depending on which you have, it's either a 01, 02, or 03.

Legs: Legs will move forwards and back, bend twice at the knee, and the ankle is interesting because it's not only on a ball joint, it also moves on a piston joint. The foot can move as well. A number is painted right above the knee on the right leg.

Accessories:
Vulcan head pod: Wraps around the sides of the head by attaching it to the pegs on the side. The Titan ver. has the sensor colored green whereas the AEUG ver. doesn't.
Beam Rifle: Standard beam rifle with 3 detachable clips that can either attach to the rifle or the shield. Again the Titan ver. has its beam rifle sensor colored green where the AEUG one doesn't. The rifles can be mounted on the side skirt.
Shield: They can either be extended or compacted though the use use of a long peg. Both shield vers. can store the extra beam rifle clips behind. The difference is the Titan one has it's insignia painted whereas the AEUG has none. The AEUG ver. comes with a second peg so that the shield can be mounted on the side of the arm instead of behind it.
Beam Sabers: Comes with 2 beam sabers with detachable beams. They connect to the backpack.
Backpack: The backpack is on a ball joint as well as the parts that hold the beam sabers. The difference is the AEUG ver. has pegs the help hold the beam sabers better. The Titan ver. doesn't have the pegs and they don't hold the beam sabers too good. They fall out really easily.
Bazooka: Bazooka with detachable clip. The clip can mount on the side skirt.
Extra hands: They each come with the standard sets of hands, 2 closed, 2 open for beam sabers, and 2 to hold the beam rifle.
AEUG ver. exclusive: The AEUG ver. has 2 more sets, 2 open hands and 2 that's molded to hold the rifle. It comes with a waverider, a white flag, and a minature Amuro Ray figure that fits into the open palmed hand.

Conclusion: This EMSIA is great! Both have some pros and cons. In my opinion I like the Titan colors better just because of the weathered colors, the green pained sensors, and the number painted on the left shoulder, right leg, and the back skirts. I could care less about the Titan logo. The only problem I have with the Titan ver. is the lack of pegs for its backpack to house the beam sabers. They come off too easily and with it being a dark blue color, it can easily be lost. The AEUG ver. has a lot more accessories and its backpack has the pegs for the beam sabers the Titan ver. lacked. Also it has 2 optional arm mounts for the shield which adds different pose ability. Since this is an Extended MSIA, I can assure you that this particular figure is much more pose able and playable than normal MSIA figures. The limbs and most accessories will not fall off which won't make things frustrating. I recommend either one if anyone is interested but as of now, it may be more difficult to find the Gundam Mk. II Titan Colors. It's easier to find the AEUG Mk. II w/waverider.

Rating: 5/5 for both

Titan version simply because I have one, though I've only built the weapons...

AEUG ver. though i also like the Titan ver.

AEUG ver.! cause im more for traditional types! xD

When first watching Zeta, I preferred the Titan colors. As the series went on, I eventually started to prefer the AEUG colors more.

I haven't voted so I don't know what the polls say but judging from only the responses here, seems like a tie.

I like Titans version better. The dark colour scheme seems more attractive and looks cool. The AEUG colour looks kinda plain.

Good review though you could put some picture of them doing some poses. Btw, Gundam MK II (Titans) is the first MG that I bought because of nice colour.

If you look for weaponries, you should choose AEUG color... :D
