BANDAI HGUC 1/144 Pale Rider (Land Battle Heavy Equipment Specification)

I had to get this Pale Rider. The kit was easy to build and comes with tons of weapons and clear pink beam sabers which are detachable. It can do many poses with double joints on the elbow and knees. I wish Bandai didnt make this kit an exclusive.

It's a great kit and a neat gimmick with the 180mm cannon. When I got it in the mail it had a little not attached to it thanking the buyer for buying it and I thought it was a nice and cute touch!

came sooner than expected!!!! really good kit for Advanced Builders they do have the stickers for the paneling but I do recommend painting it instead

The kit is amazing.

Good

it is very wonderful! it have good weapons and hard to decide normal or exam system... so i pick exam system, because it look good on it!

It arrived in a very decent amount of time and the price was great for such a hard to find kit!

I really love this mobile suit, and I'm glad I have a model of it that looks good now that I've put the work in. Articulation is as good as you'd expect for an HGUC kit with increased mobility in all the right places, and I'm a big fan of the shoulder articulation in particular. I'm a big fan of the design and the way it mixes the GM Sniper II with cues from Gundams as well, the detail's are all well molded (though that's hardly an exception for Bandai at this point), and it's really cool that they made a completely new mold for this single mobile suit. With the possible exception of the machine gun it appears there are no re-used parts in the kit.The biggest issue I have is that it has pretty disappointing color separation for an HGUC, especially when compared with the very similar GM Sniper II kit that came out two years earlier, which came with a small separate sprue of red for the vents in the chest and on the head. Considering this kit already consolidates it's parts very well into small number of trees, I don't think 5-6 extra white pieces would have been a problem to add instead of the giant sticker sheet that comes with it.If this had been a normal HGUC kit the lack of white parts would be a minor gripe, but for the extra price of a premium kit it becomes a bigger deal to me. That said, this and the identically-molded metallic version are the only game in town if you want a model of this pretty awesome suit, so I guess Bandai wins this time.
