The HGWFM line continues to impress me. This is another great build. Relatively simple and quick, but with fantastic results - including a very surprising moving-armor gimmick in the legs.

Another reviewer here gave a bad review because of the ball joints. I'm not going to disagree with them, but all I'll say is that there was no part of this build where I felt like anything was going to snap off. Anyways. This is a nice kit but it's very spare compared to others from the same line. You get a little boxy uzi and two swords with a very nice, very sleek shield. Panel lines show really well and it is also very poseable. Not my favorite from this line but I would recommend if you like the way it looks. Very simple with good color pairing with the almost plum/mauve chest piece. Good pops of color to break up the grey. I like this kit so as the title suggests I'd give it a 4.37/5. It would be closer to the 5 but it could use a wider base of support at the feet to help with posing, with such a spare kit there's really no reason that most poses shouldn't be standalone. Good kit. Had to think of reasons to criticize it. Also a quick build. Once the parts are de-nubbed and off the runner this should take under an hour to snap together with another 10 to 20 minutes spent on panel lining.

So, while I do like the idea of a Model without Polycaps, building this kit made me actually paranoid of just such a thing. It was all fine and dandy up until I got to the Feet, and the ankle part was WAY too tight for almost every single foot part, snapping off one of the ball joins for the ankle/shin guard. I don't know how this translates to other WfM kits, but there it is. Just be very careful with how you build it. I do like the kits design, maybe I just got a slightly warped one, I don't know.
