   Great kit did not expect it to be able to lift its mace but joints are tight enough to hold it up. Very impressed.

   Awesome Mod Kit! This is my first time after YEARS and YEARS of building any type of kits cars, planes, but my first love has always been anime, wanting to build what I saw in manga's, tv or movies and I Love this! I'm almost done with it and it already looks awesome even not built XD

   ehh too large arms the forearms are way too large for me and the single small ball joint covered by nothing for the waist doesn't help. weak joints, and way too large of a weapon to pose with these joints. wouldn't recommend and is a pain to pose. mine keeps falling over and i have to pose it on my shelf every week.

   good kit fun to build, nice stiff joints. my only issue is that i wish the fingers came molded in yellow, will be vastly improved with just a little paint.

   I love this model As the header says, I absolutely love this model, it was pretty easy to assemble, it looks awesome, and it is very well made, the only problem I have is the joint where the head/chest/arms assembly meets the waist/leg assembly is kinda weak ie when posing, sometimes the top half will start to fall off so I have to re-position it just to get it to stay. Other than that issue, this model is very well made.

   Super Awesome Kit! This is afirst time in many many moons that I have built anything, I did my research and asked a lot of questions to people who do build, and decided to go with something current as a challenge.
   
   In a nut shell this Anime is awesome (started watching it) and the kit itself is being kind to me, this is great!

   One of my favorites The proportion might seem weird to some people. But I love the ridiculously large arms, feet, and mace. It has decent inner frame for a HG. And the tail blade and the retractable mace handle make it fun to pose. There are a few large stickers that are a little bit annoying, and wish they separated the parts. But overall, a solid kit.

   Unsure at first, now a favorite This kit's a very interesting build, as I assume is the case for most of the IBO designs. It goes especially so for this one though with its odd proportions that not everyone will like. Huge forearms, large claws, thick legs and a large head on a very slender torso will definitely not be everyone's cup of tea.
   
   When I finished the main body, before doing the backpack/tail and mace, I was a bit iffy on the kit. Standing straight upright, it looked very odd, and the joints were a lot stiffer than I'm used to. He seemed difficult to pose, and I was starting to doubt how much I enjoyed it in front of me compared to promo pictures.
   
   But then I made that massive mace, and got that wire tail on, and put him into some more dynamic looking poses. That was when I fell in love with it. Once you get it in a more dynamic pose, this kit really pops, and becomes incredibly photogenic. The stiff joints make sense when you see it holding a weapon taller than itself, with a mace head larger than its entire torso.
   
   Despite the near perfect score, there's a few small things I think would make the kit even better. The main thing is the claws. I wish they were yellow like on the box and promo art. A bit of paint could fix this easily, but it'd be nice to have. Similar with the tail and toes; I wish there was yellow molded plastic for the blade instead of some incredibly tricky wrap-around stickers. I also think alt eye stickers in red would have been a good inclusion. I also think the feet construction and the open hip connection can look a little rough if you're looking closely.
   
   Even with those complaints, there's nothing else in my collection quite like this kit. I absolutely love it, and highly recommend it if you're an IBO fan and enjoy those out-there proportions.

    Use legs with other barbatos chest, and arms to customize for close range combat
