All Gunpla kit reviews

The desert Gundam trades its scimitars for a space-combat refit, and the kit is a genuinely relaxing weekend build.

A 30th anniversary gift kit that hands you Heero's Gundam in about 45 minutes, no nippers required.

A Zaku that finally moves like it means it, wrapped in a crest that says money and power.

A nuclear-powered dragoon platform that finally gets a frame worthy of Rau Le Creuset.

Athrun's upgraded ride comes loaded with beam weapons on every limb and the joints to actually use them.

The standard MG Strike Freedom repainted in the mecha designer's own muted palette, with a decal set that turns it into a small tribute piece.

The Sleeves' workhorse gets a Master Grade upgrade that finally does its inner frame justice.

The Zeon remnant's Zaku-in-spirit workhorse gets strapped with a small artillery battery and I am completely on board.

The Sleeves take Zeon's old transforming brawler and give it a psycho-frame heart, and the RE/100 line finally does the shape justice.

The launch bay that finally gives your HG Zeta-era suits somewhere to take off from.

A Titans mass-production grunt suit, captured and repainted red by Zeon remnants, built like Bandai forgot this was supposed to be an entry kit.

The same brilliant Barbatos frame wrapped in a black and white Xuanwu robe that makes the base kit feel brand new again.

The scrappiest Gundam of the modern era, cast in gold for a contest nobody could actually enter to win.

A shield that turns into a claw, on a frame Bandai finally got right.

A pink quadruped bombardment machine that never once feels like a gimmick kit past its prime.

A gothic knight in gunmetal black that actually kneels, lunges, and swings a blade like it means it.

A ninja-costumed character figure that out-articulates half the mecha on my shelf.

A Graze with wings and a wire claw, and it looks the part straight off the runners.

A tall, whip-armed prototype that turns an HG price tag into an oversized display centerpiece.

A Freedom-frame suit in a neon cyber coat, dragging a railgun striker pack that needs its own furniture.

Bandai's first and, for decades, only Perfect Grade treatment of Eva's flagship unit, sized to match the ambition.

Mari's Evangelion, refit for the Wunder and built around a joint system that twists through the spine instead of just the waist.

A striker pack that turns a good MG into a genuinely different mobile suit.

The same brilliant Mission Pack frame from 2019, dipped in a purple and white paint job that finally gives Unit 2 its own identity.
