Product Description

The year is Universal Century 0087. Seven years have passed since the end of the One Year War. In its zeal to stamp out any remaining opposition, the Earth Federation has organized the Titans, an elite fighting force. However, the Titans soon get out of hand, committing atrocities on par with the worst the Principality of Zeon had to offer during the war. In response, dissatisified citizens, former Zeon soldiers, and even members of the Earth Federal Forces form a resistance group known as the Anti-Earth Union Group, or AEUG. As the next war is brewing, a small AEUG group arrives at Side 7 to investigate the new Gundam Mk. II...

This review is from: Gundam Seed Char's Gelgoog HGUC 1/144 Model Kit (Toy)

This is a great kit for fans of the HGUC line, and of Char Aznable in particular. The articulation and range of movement aren't the greatest, but this is a bulky suit, so it's to be expected. In fact, it has more joints and points of articulation than I was expecting. It has two ball-joints in the torso which allow for good waist movement, and the knees can almost complete a 180 degree bend. It comes with a beam rifle, a shield, and a beam naginata with two effect parts for the blades. It has two closed fists for holding the naginata, a hand with the trigger finger extended for the rifle, and a hand with the fingers outstretched for dramatic poses.

There are only a few drawbacks. First off the lower leg armor greatly restricts the movement of the feet and ankles. This isn't an issue as long as you have an action base but ground poses are going to be limited. Also, this kit really needs to be panel-lined. I don't usually paint my kits, and in that respect this looks great out of the box, but panel-lining is a must to really make this kit pop.

If you're a fan of Char, or the original Mobile Suit Gundam, this is an excellent kit for the price.
