   Panel Lines galore! I really enjoyed building this kit. The build process itself was pretty straightforward and overall it looks fantastic. I did have the same issue that I've seen in other reviews where the waist joint is a little loose. I was able to tighten it up with some nail polish but that does seem to be a recurring theme in a lot of these reviews so keep it in mind. Apart from that I would have to say the amount of stickers is a little misleading. It's a large sticker sheet, but the majority of them are for the metallic green stripes on the wings and if you didn't use them it would still look great. Apart from that there's three yellow and black triangle stickers that honestly can just be painted on the kit instead. My favorite part about this kit is the amount of detail and panel lines it has. I love panel lining and this kit does not disappoint, especially at its price point. I would recommend an action base for better posing options as the wings make it pretty backheavy, but overall this is a great kit and will definitely stand out on a shelf.

   Interesting design with an interesting amount of fun The Gundam Helios is an interesting design...for me at first it kinda bothered me to see Universal Century MS aspects mix with Cosmic Century MS Aspects but now that I've gotten used to it it's alright. Articulation is great but the upside down freedom wings I still have issues with because you can tell it was not intended for this kit so the wings stick out just a little. But thats the only problem I have other than that the kit is fun to handle. Although I must warn you about the cannons on the backpack, you gotta flip em around one at a time to position both up for poses

   Super fun and beautiful! Extremely fun build to put together but like others have said it’s very top-heavy. The waist joint easily comes apart and the figure has a problem standing on its own. That said it is a beautiful figure and a super fun build.

   Awesome design but handle with care This kit is an awesome concept, however there are a LOT of stability issues, first things unless you own an action base or plan on using the hip-down area for another Battlogue figure I would advise first put glue on the waste joint so the backpack doesn't make the top-heavy figure snap like a twig
   next the psyco-frame(?) parts on the shins and forearms have a tendency to pop off so I wouldn't advise opening them at all
   - Neutrals: a HUGE number of runners, including Freedom Gundam leftover parts
   - Positives: stickers are mostly easy to apply, the facemask part is unique among most of every other Gundam available, the aesthetics are very good, so good I'd say this is one of my best HG kits from aesthetics alone, and in terms of Gundam lore this suit is a pretty solid choice for an OP suit

   Good entry, weird build One of my first models, and it was a nice doozy, the waist I found was a little loose and the wings made it unbalanced as all can be, but otherwise it was a fine build and a nice model

   Get an action base! This kit is easy to build with most of the stickers being the metallic green on the wings. If you have extra polycaps, the kit comes with extra parts you can use to make the HG Freedom torso, shoulders and lower legs as well. To make this kit really pop, paint some silver underneath the clear parts in the chest/shoulders and get an action base. Also if you really don't like the inverted wing aesthetic, you can always flip them back around.
