I wasn't sure what to expect from a FM kit, let alone a non-Gundam mobile suit, but it turned out to be in my top three builds of the ~16 I've done because it felt new, almost the feeling of building your first favorite MS. Not overly complicated, the straight build was enjoyable and smooth with no WTF moments. The unique cantilever joints leave the finished product super solid but flexible. Gimmicks are cool and don't compromise the structure but add to the uniqueness of the suit. The weapons loadout (with some built right into the suit) make for an imposing look and tons of posing options. It's the perfect transition kit for those who want an MG-like result without the time commitment. But really anyone with a bit of building experience should give this one a go.

...It's a Master Grade. The only part that really feels FM-y is the presence of some rectangular cutouts in the legs, but I personally think it's fine. The surface detail is on par with the best of the best MGs, and it's a bit taller than most. I got the first run with clear parts when it released last year, and while it looks great, don't feel bummed out if you can't get it (one extra runner already used in the kit but clear). It even uses the metallic stickers you see on the PG Unleashed! Overall, 9/10, get it while you can because the show's low ratings mean there probably will never be reprints.
