   Just what we need. A well done retro kit remade! I've seen the complaints about the kit I have to say there is merit, but If you are a veteran builder or you like building real grades or even any technical heavy master grade You will enjoy yourself. The build is time-consuming for a High Grade, its height and feel are that of a small MG. While there is a lot of particular alignment for the legs it is all about paying attention to its designs as well as using plenty of light. I built this from 1 am to 3 am. The white has a very glossy titanium white coat on it so where you nip no matter how clean you will notice a slight mark. I wouldn't recommend sanding without good ventilation or a mask, the gloss and plastic will give off very.. worrisome-tasting dust.
   In the mechanism in the leg I've put a photo to show the sliding pieces there will be two. you need to make sure they sit across completely this will allow the outer shell to sit flush and opens easily for the gimmick.
   I loved this build overall though, I would say having some cement does come in handy with some of the inner frame parts like the foot frame, and forearm outer shell. It will just give the nice clean look that this design calls for. Panel lining is a must to make it look gorgeous but it does look really good just straight-built. Now enjoy this Keroro-built kit and clean up crew of Shin and Shiro

   Don't build this thing at 1 in the morning lol Plastic on this kit is p decent, although the tan plastic does not sand easily. Proceed with your good cutters if you cut the feet of this kit. The actual building process of this kit was pretty interesting, coming from someone who's only built mainly the eva real grades and high grades post "hey we use ball joints in our hips". I found the legs to be the most technical part of the build, since that required brute forcing a part so that it'll fit on the upper leg, adding tubing on the back of the leg, and making sure that the knee area and sides of the lower legs don't lock up. Everything else was easy in comparison since I didn't have to worry about mechanisms not working. Articulation is ok. The legs bend fine at the knee. You can extend it for a wider bend, but it feels like if you move the mechanism, it might break. The back half of the feet has articulation, so if you were to put it on a weird surface, you can adjust them accordingly to be more snug. Front half only has downward movement, so no stepping upwards. The ankles are ok though, mainly side to side movement. Arms move weird too. Single bend at the elbow and a diff joint for the forearm, so that's cool. It has a ball and socket joint on the shoulder area, so it can't really raise up its arms high; the highest the arms can be raised is like T pose height. Not much movement at the head and torso (the upper torso can move back and side to side). The accessories are hit or miss. The shield's cool, and so is the gun. The pipes that come out on the side of the guns are kind of loose,so be careful with those when you plug em into the gun and L-Gaim. Overall, a nice change of pace for mainly gundam builders. Gotta slog through some weird instructions, but when it's done, it doesn't look half bad.

   Absolutely classic mecha, which went on to inspire the designs in The Five Star Stories
