Massive gun? Check. Giant shield that doubles as a vehicle? Check. This had all of the things going for it and it just didn't pan out. I had a lot of trouble with the plastic becoming brittle or having microfractures and cracks that would only become apparent once i started panel lining. The glue came out really quick. Then, there's the stickers. I had little success applying them neatly to the globe joints at the legs and the elbows. While accurate to the anime something about the proportions and the spindly bits that bring together the legs just felt anemic. It's still a cool kit and I'm eager to try out full armor and psycho from this series, but I found this offering to be a bit disappointing especially given how cool this suit model is. A worthwhile buy if this is one of your favorite suits, just be aware it will need a lot of TLC to shine. The large gun is almost entirely yellow plastic with no breaks in the design just make it hard to see it as anything but a square piece of plastic. a rippling energy lightning effect and some panel lines on the gun would go a long way to fix it. Was really pulling for this kit but just wasn't impressed (for reference i built 6 kits in the last week and this was my least favorite of those builds).

I've been hunting for this kit ever since I started building gunpla about a year ago, and I'm happy to say I've finally been able to get ahold of my personal white whale kit! And I'm happy to say that, for the most part, it does not disappoint! This kit has probably some of the best articulation I've seen in an HG kit, and no polycaps! The one gripe I do have about this kit is the fact that its hands are molded in 3 separate pieces, which means they fall apart fairly easily under pressure or weight, which the rail gun and shield it has both have quite a lot of.

I love this model and didn't get it from this website. That being said it's a fantastic kit but has a good number of stickers. Some parts like the thruster arms don't come in white like the photos. If you want it like the pictures, be prepared to paint it. The display picture of the rail gun is nothing like what you get, it's just a hunk of yellow. with a good bit of effort this kit looks great.
