Build Burning Gundam

This might be the best HG kits I’ve built in ages. It might just be the best. It has everything you need in your gunpla, a solid build, fantastic poseability and more than three hands. Plus it has great balance.

Also it’s nice to build a kit that doesn’t come with your typical accessories, you know, beam rifle, shield that kinda jazz. Instead what you get is TRANSLUCENT FLAMING EFFECT PARTS OF FIERY HOTNESS! And do they ever glow.

The only downside to this kit is the way the shoulders connect to the main body, which is to say they don’t. It utilizes a special method that is a double ball-socket polycap and will pop out on it’s own terms.
