This is the first non-bandai kit I built. It looks great, and comes together well, as it does not have any fitting issues. One thing I would say brings it down is the plastic. It's that kind of soft, spongy plastic that bandai uses for grey parts like weapons. Meaning it marks up easy, and can be scratched away, but not 100%. The kit is essentially 95% under-gated, with the exterior armor pieces hiding any real nub marks. However there are one, or two that are not hidden, and that plastic makes it noticeable unless you paint everything. Also the gates on this kit are massive. It's under-gated, as I said, but they took that to mean that they could make the gates huge. The metal inner frame means it's going to be easy to pose, and won't get floppy. There are also interchangeable parts where you can choose the color between white, and black parts. This does indeed come with the claw shields, and it's own action base which is fairly solid. [Don't ask me why the pictures are sideways. Something to do with the website. I tried rotating the original, and it keeps loading them sideways like this.]
