I guess I didn't expect something this good from an "entry grade" kit. It's a very quick, easy build - but the end results are quite good. The joints are a bit stiff and the articulation isn't great, but the poses it can pull off look fantastic. Note that while this kit absolutely does not need any tools, glue, or paint... You might want to add a bit of paint. The Beam Javelin, specifically, is just grey plastic with no effect part. It would definitely benefit from some paint.

I love it! It was pretty easy to follow but my only worry was the tiny pieces, other than that I loved building this funky fella!

This is an interesting kit because you can detail it up and make it look nice or you could just put it together. The kit will look nice with a panel liner marker. You basically do not need nippers for this thing. The plastic is made of such that you can scratch off the nubs with your fingernails. This kit is very articulated and you can get tons of different poses with it. It is lacking the detail of a high grade model though. So if you had a choice between this and the revive version I would definitely go with the revive however this is a fun little build regardless because it’s very ingeniously made, so you don’t have to paint anything. The colors on it are very true to the original Mobile Suit Gundam show that appeared in 1979.
