Otona no Chogokin Hayabusa MUSES-C - Part 1

Hayabusa MUSES-C, released in June 2011 by Bandai Otano no Chogokin (Chogokin for adult) line after all the debut made from previous release "Apollo 11 & Saturn V Rocket" & "Space Shuttle Endeavour" with all comments from collectors of the whole world praising on the quality of workmanship.

Information by HLJ, this jewels weight approximately 2080 g in packaging size of 38.1 x 24.9 x 16.8 cm (yes, whooping 2kg which can burn your wallet using EMS shipping) with SRP of 23,000 Yen.

Within a week after I place my order, the parcel arrived.




Behind the box, it shown some of the gimmicks & details of the Hayabusa. And in the front, there is a sticker shown the 1/144 Hayabusa included only for first release to display with previous Space Shuttle & Saturn V.

Just a side note, the cardboard seen in the picture is not the packaging box. That is to protect the Hayabusa "Box" & to my surprise, that still not the last box to uncover the satellite. Third box which reveal Hayabusa is in matte surface black card box (which do bring out the quality & high end collection merchandise)




And finally, Hayabusa can be seen with my bare eye (I mean the replica) in the first tray (yup, there are two trays in total). This tray hold Hayabusa himself, 1/144 scale Hayabusa (come together with display stand) & remote control/Hayabusa display label.

Below the first tray, there are the manuals & back drop awaiting on top of the second tray.

Second tray house the main display base, stands & accessories for Hayabusa.
 Finally, all set in for a final shot.

Introduction booklet (I have no idea what written in it) & instruction manuals (also caution in handling Hayabusa in the leaflet).


 

Display back-drop (clear display cover, passing the Moon, near the comet, the comet surface & returning to earth). The clear display back-drop cover I have in the last enlarge picture are seriously scratches (Now that is a worst quality control Bandai!!)

This pretty much what I can see & capture during un-boxing this satellite replica. The details of Hayabusa will be review in Part 2.
