All Gunpla kit reviews

The 2005 MG that finally gave the original Gundam hands that could act.

The Revive-mold RX-78-2 in a stealthy gray and purple coat, and it poses better than the original ever did.

The heavy-hitting Guncannon cousin nobody asked for, and the one that turned out to be a genuine HG sleeper.

A Gundam Base exclusive that swaps funnel bling for a wired grappler and a shield gimmick Katoki Hajime dreamed up himself.

The kit that made people put their MG money toward an HG instead.

The best HG frame of its generation, repainted for the kid who painted everyone else's mobile suits.

The same excellent Rising Freedom engineering, dipped in glowing recycled neon yellow.

A tiny space-debris work pod that turns out to be one of the most charming HG kits Bandai has ever released.

A cloaked, spindly Gjallarhorn suit that poses better than most HGs twice its price.

A knight in bulky armor carrying a sword bigger than itself, and somehow still doing full leg splits.

The Vanguard's original prototype gets the Katoki treatment in gunmetal silver, and it looks every bit the part.

A pirate suit with a skull on its face and a whole armory strapped to its skirts, and the articulation to actually swing all of it.

The same great Aerial mold dressed in its brightest, most dramatic moment, and worth the Premium Bandai hunt.

Four feathered wings and a frame that finally holds its poses, in a footprint that fits your shelf.

A scythe-swinging stealth Gundam that finally moves like the assassin it's supposed to be.

Wufei's dragon in kit form, and it moves like it actually knows kung fu.

A cheap silver knight that outmoves kits three times its price.

The same brilliant RG Impulse frame in a green-tinted, cannon-heavy artillery loadout.

A goofy amphibious crab suit that turns out to hide one of the best HG surprises in years.

Athrun's second suit built on the Freedom's excellent bones, with a transforming backpack that steals the show.

The old HG grows up into something that finally poses the way the anime promised.

A tight, wingheavy MG that rewards patience with a pose it will actually hold.

Rau Le Creuset's DRAGOON monster, dressed in Freedom's own bones.

The biggest, heaviest, most ambitious wings Bandai ever put on a Perfect Grade, and they mean it in both good ways and bad.
