Fun build with some really cool gimmicks for the shields and subarms. The sticker applications were annoying overall but there were so few of them that it didn't ruin the experience. Kimaris Vidar looks great when built and it poses pretty well. The wrist joints were a little loose for me but once I thickened up the joints with superglue they work great!

Any time I try an IBO HG, I'm always worried about the strength of the build. While there are a couple weak joints in this kit, you can get away with them in most poses. In the arms, the wrists and the peg between the upper-arm and shoulder are very floppy. While this means it can't hold the lance in one hand, if you make it use both hands, the shape of the lance will hold the wrists and arms in place, so that looseness becomes less of an issue. The one joint that's a serious issue is the swivel in the chest as the weight of the backpack is always pulling on it and making the model lean backwards. The unique design of this swivel makes it a bit hard to tighten too unfortunately. Then, aside from the joints, the biggest issue is the lack of color accuracy in arms, resulting in some complicated stickers that are meant to wrap around the entire part. While this is a shame, it looks presentable without the color correction. Though, overall, this is such a unique and dynamic design that I'm still in love with this kit. The sub-arms on that back are incredibly cool and they're made with rock-solid construction. I'm torn between giving this 5 stars or 4 stars, while I love this kit's aesthetics, the loose chest is really unfortunate and took a bit of effort to tighten. Though I still 100% recommend this kit as it's likely my favorite IBO kit, it looks incredible and has a surprising amount of gimmicks, so it was absolutely worth it for me.

Really nice kit. The only thing is the colors didn’t match the pictures on the website or the instructions.
