Gundam MGEX 1/100 Strike Freedom Gundam Model Kit

This is the pinnacle of Gunpla engineering. It is by far the most complex, articulated, detailed, accented model I've ever assembled. I couldn't even fit all of the sprues on my kitchen table, there's SO much. It comes with its own stand because it has to: when you attach the wings to the main body, the whole model is so heavy that its knees can't hold it up. It does stand up on its own if you remove the backpack + wings. To be honest, I think this is at or even a little bit beyond the limit of what you can physically do with plastic. The legs are incredibly articulated, the thing can cross its ankles and go on tiptoe and honestly it could probably twerk in stop-motion if I spent the time on it. However, with so many articulation points in the legs, just getting a single leg into the pose you want is an exercise in joint isolation: you gotta hold all 3 other joints still and then move just the one you want, and then repeat that for every single joint. I almost wish it was simpler and less articulated, now that it's built. The inner gold frame is amazing, and it was super fun to build the whole thing twice: once for the inner frame, once for the outer armor. However, I didn't realize just how covered up the internal gold frame would be. There's a dozen etching stickers (which are a nightmare to work with, by the way), and while they're all visible on the inner frame, more than half of them are *completely* covered up on the finished model, and the instructions don't indicate which ones those are, at all. I almost wish I hadn't bothered with putting them all on. Also, I straight up broke off one of the four wings when trying to pose it. I wasn't even using that much force, I was just pivoting in the wrong direction. This should be considered an experts-only kit, if that wasn't obvious already. I got this for $180, and I'd say it's definitely worth that price. A lot of sellers are offering this for $250 and I don't think it's quite that good, but I don't think any model is that good.

El mejor model kit que he armado, un detalle tremendo en el inner frame, una movilidad increíble, ninguna pieza queda floja en su lugar, problema que si he tenido con otros gundams, no te dejes intimidar por los stickers de metal, un par de videos en internet y entenderás lo fácil que es manejarlos, NO necesitas pegamento adicional. No hagas caso tampoco a otros comentarios que dicen que la parte de la mochila o la cadera tiene articulaciones o piezas frágiles, porque te juro que no es así, obviamente un Gundam no lo vas a tratar como un niño con un juguete, pero puedes acomodar las alas sin ningún problema 👌👌 recomendadisimo

A chi piace, piace davvero. Una esperienza.

Good discount for MGEX. Must get it.

The driver was friendly. Is just that I received the item, the box was broken/damaged, even the items box was damaged. Still I accept hoping the items inside not broken
