Just got this bad boy from BBTS yesterday.
Damn is it impressive. I'd never thought I'd see this thing here.
I want to like it really bad, but there's a few things I don't.
The armor looks great. Each piece fits well, though the front skirt armor is kinda picky. The missile pods on the chest armor are removable of course. Without the armor, it's your usual MSIA Nu Gundam.
Two things interested me: 1) No beam saber blades. 2) No funnels. Interesting. This is the first Gundam MSIA I've bought that didn't include any beam saber blades. Odd.
The biggest thing I don't like is the fact that there is no way in hell this thing can hold the huge ass rifle and the huge ass shield. The bipod is a nice touch on the rifle, but there's no way to pose this thing holding them. You'd have to use some kind of stands to pose like is shown on the box.
I was very very fortunate that unlike most every MSIA I've ever bought, this guy didn't suffer from major Gashapon disease. The big shield had a touch, but it was liveable. Fortunately, with the exception of the big shield, the parts are designed so that Gashapon disease isn't much of a worry, so that's good.
All in all, I like it. However, I only bought it to tide me over until my MM Launcher and Strike Gundam shows up.
