Review: My favorite big boy HG - Well worth the money. It’s a big model for a HG 1/144 but it’s really fun to build. Great color scheme. I highly recommend for new builders.
Review: Big Boy, Big Fun - I expected a wide kit but wasnt Expecting the overall size to be this big. Despite this huge size, he’s pretty posable. I wish his feet could bend to accommodate a few more articulate positions but I’m not at all disappointed. Very fun build. The way the pieces connect and interlock feels unique compared to more traditional shaped gunpla. For a size reference I put him next to a 1/144 RX-78-2. On a side note I like that it has an extra hand specifically for the gun, not just the fingers. It makes swapping weapons much faster. Overall this was the most fun HG I’ve built in a while.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite big boy HG
*by S***E on November 17, 2024*

Well worth the money. It’s a big model for a HG 1/144 but it’s really fun to build. Great color scheme. I highly recommend for new builders.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big Boy, Big Fun
*by B***D on November 10, 2022*

I expected a wide kit but wasnt Expecting the overall size to be this big. Despite this huge size, he’s pretty posable. I wish his feet could bend to accommodate a few more articulate positions but I’m not at all disappointed. Very fun build. The way the pieces connect and interlock feels unique compared to more traditional shaped gunpla. For a size reference I put him next to a 1/144 RX-78-2. On a side note I like that it has an extra hand specifically for the gun, not just the fingers. It makes swapping weapons much faster. Overall this was the most fun HG I’ve built in a while.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Gunpla Model I Couldn't put down
*by A***E on February 12, 2023*

Usually I like to finish my models in 2-3 sittings to make the building process last longer, but I couldn't put this one down. It was an absolute joy to assemble! It is a high grade set, so the pieces tend to not be as detailed, and there's not as many tiny pieces, but it was still fun to build. The chest, especially, feels very unique. He is surprisingly posable for how chunky he appears. He also has storage for his beam saber hilts within his shield which is great! The only complaint I have is that some of the stickers were very tricky to place; I completely gave up on trying to put the thin yellow ones on the tubes near his face. Overall, this is a phenomenal HG model, and I would highly recommend him as a beginner model as well.
