The model is pretty good and yes I am aware that it is a FG gundam model but its kinda pathetic really.

The model itself builds rather quickly and when your done with it it leaves you with an empty feeling. I have built many gundam models and usually I get more from FG or beginner kits than I did with this one. Even with all the decals on it's still just a mech with white arms and legs with an orange torso. Nothing special whatsoever.

Details on this one is pretty good. I mean yeah colors are basic to a fault. Not the worse I've ever seen on a gundam model but still even for FG it's really basic. Aside from the simple colors the details as far as seeing all the bends and shaping details are pretty dead on.

Once again I know this is a FG but once your done with this model you have a statue really. Movement is greatly limited. I couldn't believe have stiff and pointless the joints on this model were. Getting poses out of this model is right next to impossible. Very dissapointing.

The only other thing I can think of on this one is that it doesn't transform like in the show and I haven't really seen a model or figure that does for the kyrios or arios for that matter. Maybe I'm just over looking it on other models parts but this ones doesn't. Not a big deal but that would have greatly helped this one.

I had more complaints and praises about this model but all and all, and for the last time I realize its FG, this model really isn't to bad. It is right near perfect looking, once you add paint and detail. Good and beginners and possibly younger kids, thats up to you since it does have a few pretty small pieces. For those who do want to get this I recommend looking elsewhere for it because $15 is just to much for this one. Anyone else I recommend looking into other kyrios models. This one would only suite those who need practice with their painting and detailing skills.

I must say this model kit is very detailed in every aspect of the Gundam 00 series. It was my first buy on the Gundam modeling kit world. I got a little dissapointed because it need a LOT (yes a LOT) of coloring to make it look like the real gundam. So, if you buy it make a little search on the net for the famous gundam markers or keep in mind that you have to buy a lot of permanent markers. But, besides that, the model is solid, nice articulation, and very detailed.
