Amazing Build! - Overall a pretty fun kit. For the price point ($12 currently), it delivers a pretty good value, despite a couple caveats.
Poseability is great. I've come to expect that from the HG IBO line. Plenty of panel lining options, which is great if that's your thing. Not too many stickers which is a plus. Build is fairly simple, but is right in line with this price point.
There were a couple flaws with this kit. Firstly, if you want to pose with that massive sword, you had better learn to tighten up your joints. I used some clear coat nail polish on the ball joints at the wrist and shoulder, and now he can hold the sword like a champ. However, despite my best efforts at tightening up the cylindrical chest joint used for ab crunching, that sword just weighs him down too much. All in all though, a few tweaks and his poseability is great.
As far as the look is concerned, I only dislike a few aspects of this kit. The blue was too light for my taste. Some paint would help this kit immensely, but I'm not so much into painting. The overall look is not too bad though. The trapezius area in the shoulders has no bulk, leading to a pretty sparse look. The chest plate is also a little to boxy for my taste. It may be faithful to the show's design, but I haven't seen the show yet.
All in all, this kit provides a great value with it's posing options and its price point. Is not a hyper impressive gunpla, but it's a solid entry in the IBO line.
