Product Description

Fan favorite Crossbone Gundam is back for another Master Grade treatment following its recent "Ver.Ka" MG kit released in September 2006! This modified version, designated as Crossbone Gundam X-1 "Skull Heart," comes with its signature Full Cloth mantle and armaments as seen in the popular "Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam" manga. Its weaponry and accessories include screw whip, brand marker (beam shield), peacock smasher (beam crossbow/9 beam gun), beam sabers, heat daggers, buster gun, Muramasa blaster, and Zanbuster. The skulls from its Full Cloth mantle can be placed on each hand and act as boxing gloves for that extra punching power! Stickers and markings sheets are included for decorating the completed kit.

My fifth venture into the world of Master Grade Gundams was somewhat of a disappointment, actually. Having completed Gundam Exia Ignition Mode Kit Master Grade 1/100 Scale and still having a bit of a bad taste in my mouth from it, I was hoping for a bit of an exciting kit in Crossbone. It did not deliver. Fully assembled, the kit does live up to its reputation, looking every bit the part it's supposed to play. But, to get there was the hassle. The biggest gripe I had during assembly was the lack of polycap joints, as found in many of the newer kits. The lack of polycaps make the joints feel weak and loose, and it's hard to get it into any reasonable pose without extended effort. Additionally, there are A LOT of small parts to deal with, so if you have unsteady hands or bad eyesight, this is going to be especially taxing. But that's not it, the 'Full Cloth' armor attachments, while they look absurdly cool, didn't want to assemble without a fight, and they still feel like they're not fully attached. Not to mention that the armor that attaches to the cockpit hatch doesn't feel very secure.

All in all, if you're a fan of Crossbone Gundam, and of Master Grade kits, this is a decent buy. But, there are better kits out there.
