   A solid HG that looks great! It's a simple HG kit, but looks great still with all the opening armor bits and big gun. The arms are a bit limited by the shoulders, but the Heavyarms isn't really an acrobatic suit anyway, so doesn't hurt the poses you really want to get out of it. It's a nice kit for fans of the Heavyarms.

   The Closest to Anime-Accurate You'll Get For Probably A Long Time Negatives:
   The colour correcting stickers are disappointing. The eye sticker is standard, the front camera sticker doesn't look great and doesn't have a great surface to apply to because of a hole, and the back camera sticker fits very well and looks the best of the three. The blue chest stickers are absolutely terrible because they have to be applied over a bent surface, and their absence stands out quite a bit if not applied. They also make it difficult to pick up the model by the chest, since it's the most logical place to grab it from. The yellow chest stickers fit very well, despite going over curved surfaces. The lower leg stickers don't seem to fit as well, and stand out a bit. There are black rectangular stickers for the side skirts, which I did not use. Those sections can easily be painted.
   
   The hinges for the door/panels are very large compared to the mode. They make it quite inaccurate to the anime line art.
   
   The leg vents, chest camera, and cannons on its shoulders aren't colour accurate.
   
   These things can all be fixed with paint, of course.
   
   They also missed what seems like an easy opportunity to put a beam saber in the left arm.
   
   The hands seem a bit weak, but it doesn't have to hold anything besides the beam gattling's handle, which isn't necessary by any means. Minor negative, it's not in the anime as far as I know, but it's easy to remove without a huge hole, and it's in the anime's original line art, so I feel that was a cool addition.
   
   It doesn't have any accessories that aren't already attached to the model (beam gattling, knife, missile pods, cannons), besides an attachment to put the beam gattling on its back. But that's how the heavyarms is supposed to be.
   
   Upon further inspection, the white sections of the arms look a bit inaccurate to the line art. I don't think they're supposed to be so rectangular. There should also be a seam line on the red part of the torso, as well as some markings.
   
   Positives:
   It looks very accurate besides the negatives mentioned. It´s hard to tell if they slimmed it down like they did with the other HGAC models. It has all the opening panels, and their interiors are quite detailed.
   
   I think it has better articulation than other kits, but I'm not sure.
   
   It comes with a lot of extra hands, including open, the Sandrock's finger-forward holding, normal holding, and I think one more. The dynamic open hands are a great addition because the Heavyarms doesn't have to hold anything. The beam gattling replaced the left hand, which is accurate (unlike the EW versions), so don't bother making that hand if you plan to keep the gattling on permanently.
   
   There are some good opportunities for panel lining.
   
   It could've easily had more pieces to get full colour accuracy, but that's why it's HG. I suspect they reserve that level of detail for higher grades.
   
   Regardless, it's so close to the anime that if you want a non-EW heavyarms, this is definitely the one you want. It's solid, accurate enough, and has no issues that can't be fixed.

   My first build! Wing was the series that got me into Gundam, so I picked this up as my first kit to build. This was a great choice for my first kit - nothing difficult or weird, just a straightforward build that looks great when finished. I'm now completely hooked and have a backlog started already.

   Simple and straightforward, but sometimes that's all you need. The original 90s Heavyarms kit was the very first piece of Gundam merch I've ever owned. I was young enough that my dad had to build it for me. So the chance to build the upgrade myself was great. Much like the Heavyarms itself with its all-firepower approach, this kit is very straightforward with no fluff. Lots of opening panels, though, which are fun to mess around with posing in themselves.

   Good build A standard kit as far as HG builds go, but feels unique enough to stand out.

   A perfect, if slightly low end addition to any Wing fans collection Good points.
   The design is spot on, with the shapes and colors all being what they should be. The large arm mounted gatling is also light enough so as not to drag down the arm making posing a largely worry free. The continued support of older franchises like this is great to see and I await the rest of the line eagerly.
   
   Bad things.
   I put quality at 4 stars instead of 5 but that seems largely unfair as any quality niggles are a factor of the price point more then anything. I would be more then happy to spend 20$ per kit for some slightly better parts but I appreciate that are they are trying to get kits into as many hands as possible, particularly for a series as popular in the states as Wing is.
   
   Conclusion.
   Not the final word in quality but more then forgivable at the price point, which is perfect as this is part of a set you will want to complete (I know I do.) Of your a fan of the old Toonami thus is a no brainer. Otherwise its still worth a buy if your looking for a fun little kit.

    Heavyarms is a heavyweight to any collection! the xxxg-01h was always one of my favorite suits so its nice to see in its high grade glory. gundam wing was the intro to not just mecha but anime in general for many kids like myself who grew up in the early 90s and late 80s so its nice to see more gundam wing models coming out recently (deathscythe this july!!!). This piece not only brings a touch of nostalgia but is also beautifully displayed and crafted piece for any collection, not to mention JUST LOOK AT THE GUNS MAN!!!! how cool is that?!?!?!
