This is one of my favourite RG kits to date. I don’t like Gundam Seed Destiny, tried to rewatch it recently and it was garbage, but the look and poseability of this kit is amazing. It also doesn’t have any differences between the right and left arms, legs and shoulders which saved me a bunch of time by building both simultaneously.

i never understood why so many units have this gimmick, i mean, i get the reason for the impulse(test bed for swappable parts), or the victory 1(early on), but it could be worse, as there's absolutely no reason for the zz nor the s gundam to have it, neither for the bawoo(which is probably one of the best underapreciated designs in all of gundam).
@GaldirEonai 4 жыл бұрын
The Impulse has it because the ZZ had it, and that's literally the only reason. As for why the ZZ had it, I believe it was due to them shooting for a more light-hearted "cartoony" feel after the hellride that was Z. So giving it to a suit in Seed, where they turned all the angst dials to 11, was a bit of a weird choice to say the least...but then Seed was all over the place in terms of writing and overall feel to begin with.

I'm really blown away with how solid RGs are nowadays. My first experiences with them were far from pleasant and put me off the line altogether for a while. They were flimsy and constantly fell apart anytime I'd try and pose them. But after building the solid and super articulate RG Nu Gundam I've come back around on the line. It's really the difference between night and day and shows that Bandai's learned a lot since the early days of the line.
