I normally don't do third party kits very often, but I'm a sucker for 00 and just couldn't resist. The kit is molded primarily in ABS plastic with a little bit of PET (no polycaps) and has a nice semigloss finish right out of the box. Like the pictures show, the shade of red used is much brighter than in the series, but I personally think it looks really great; it's much more of a cherry red like on the Sazabi than the dark maroon used in the show. The few orange parts are also much more yellow (almost gold), which I also think is an improvement and looks phenomenal on the katanas. Almost every part on the kit is undergated, which is very nice especially when working with black plastic. The joints vary from being really tight to a bit too loose, but it can stand up mostly fine and keeps a pose well. It uses three sets of interchangeable hands like Re/100 and HG kits, and the wrists on the closed fists and open hands are a bit loose but fortunately the ball joints on the sword hands are very solid even compared to a lot of modern MGs and you even get a little swivel at the base of the palm for extra range of motion. It also includes an action base adapter, one of the square peg ones. Really the only issue is that some of the parts just do not want to fit together (the worst offenders being the clavicle antennae and skirt joints) but by sanding the parts and using pliers you can get everything together in the end. The kit does include almost all of the parts to make the Susanowo: The alternate skirts, GN Condenser, Physical Swords, and gauntlet for the left wrist, with all of those stated parts being molded color-accurately. Despite not appearing on the Masurao, the Tri-Punisher cannons are included and fully functional. However, it does not include replacements for all of the red parts, so you'd need to hand paint it should you choose to build the Susanowo; it also lacks the modified head crest so you may need to do some custom sculpting or wait for an official Susanowo remold if you care about that. I was going to make a mysterious comment here about how cool the ancestry of this suit is because it's a spoiler in the show, but the description literally states it so yeah this is an incredibly souped-up Over Flag from Season 1, specifically the late Daryl's. It's so cool that Graham actually kept his promise and continued to fight Celestial Being with a Flag even after the introduction of the GNX and GNZ series, and in the end it paid off because the Braves from AwoTB are directly descended from the Masurao/Susanowo and by extension Flag. Imagine being so stubborn that you end up upgrading an obsolete machine to such a ridiculous degree it becomes the prototype for the next generation of high-performance units and completely leapfrogs the model that made it obsolete to begin with. PS: Remember that Graham... sorry, Mr. Bushido (man that name is stupid) is left-handed, so the longer blade goes in his left and the shorter in his right.
