Thinking of getting this model kit a long time ago after I saw it being released from Japan a few months ago from the Gunpla news. However, I hardly find this kit in any shops around my place until last week. I manage to get the only unit from the rack in front of the model shop in Mid Valley, and within the reasonable price range.
The box art is terrific, I like it so much.
I have the old HG initially, painted and sold it long time ago. But this HG is much better than the old HG in terms of the sculpting and articulation.
This kit contains very few component part compare with other HG....
Surprisingly, this piece of the component come in plastic instead of PVC for the joints. This will make the joints more solid, and tighter, more lasting fit.
I like the legs...
Action pose..
Overall, this kit is old enough either in articulation or sculpting, and although lesser in parts, it does not reduce the complexity of the outlook of this model kit. I really enjoy building it and the only complaint is that the scale of this kit is a bit smaller compare to other HG Gunpla. Probably of the same size with the new HF Gundam F91.
Below is my Gundam collection so far, still a lot of characters I wanted to build...the road is still far..
