Awesome Figure! And fast shipping

It's great.

A bit difficult to transform on the legs but everything worked out fine. Plastic felt a little bit cheap but it's still worth it. Both airplane and robot mode looks really good. This guy is more of a Gundam but I'm ok with that. Overall a really good buy.

First let me say that this is a Gundam. It's a nice figure although the plastic is on the cheaper side. Looks good on both robot and alt mode. My first issue is that part of the tail came off its little screw and can no longer stay in place. This happened during transformation. The transformation it self isn't bad but but if you're not care you can break it in very spots. Had a lot of pieces fall off during transformation but they were easy to put back. One central issue was with the head clearance and allowing the chest symbol to display. It wasn't easy, and the keg transformation is a bit tricky especially with a broken fin tail. I don't regret the purchase but just beware.

This is a solid figure with great-looking bot and alt modes. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend it fully because there is a required step in the transformation process from plane to robot that is almost certain to cause permanent damage to the figure. And, since this figure comes in plane mode out of the box, it’s unavoidable if you want to display it in robot form. You’ll see the damage in the third and fourth photos—it’s related to the vent details below the shoulders. I have tried a bunch of different motions, watched several videos, and pored over the (bad) instructions... the intended way to get these in place is to simply brute-force them around the edge of the fuselage. Maybe this worked with perfect tolerances during the design phase in CAD, but it doesn’t work in real life with the actual objects because the clearance is essentially non-existent, leading the shoulder pieces to scrape against the outside of the plane paneling when moving them into place. You’ll see my figure has incurred some damage from this; it damages both the vent details and the cockpit paneling, affecting both modes. If you look at some of the manufacturer’s robot mode stock photos, you can actually see some nicks on their vents, too. They’re definitely intended to sit that way, as details on the plane paneling actually act as little tabs for them to slot into. But mine don’t fit properly, and there are other MFG photos floating around where they clearly don’t fit, either. All of this makes me think the clearance issues are widespread, meaning most copies will incur damage upon transformation. If you get this figure, you can try to make it work, but be warned: there’s no going back after this particular step. Your best bet is to intentionally mistransform the shoulders, as I did in the fifth photo. They become a bit floppy, but there’s no plastic-on-plastic grinding with them folded out like that. If you try to transform it the proper way, beware: you will almost certainly get scratching. Otherwise, honestly, I love this figure! It looks fantastic, the materials feel good, and it’s clear they put a lot of effort into the figure, including fantastic packaging. Aside from the problematic step above, the transformation is intuitive, and it feels solid and hefty in both modes. It’s also quite fairly priced, especially since the build quality and size are knocking on MP territory. It’s just hard to recommend fully when there’s an intended aspect of the design that damages the figure. If there’s ever a reissue of this figure with the shoulders fixed, I will buy it in a heartbeat. Otherwise, I’ll make do with my "battle-damaged" version here. It’s disappointing, but there’s a lot more to like here beyond some nicked shoulder details.
