Bandai Hobby 5057977 Hg #01 Gundam Barbatos Model Kit, from Gundam IBO

It’s super cool! Easy to put together! My boyfriend finished it in 2 hours! Great quality and super flexible and free to move! The stickers stayed on super well! The size is about half of an iPhone.

Amazing product

As usual, the HG Gundam Barbatos kit is all press-fit. This means that you don't need any glue or tools to assemble it. But... That's not quite true in this case. These old IBO kits are notorious for loosening-up over time. There's a few specific parts that I'd recommend gluing together. And I'd also recommend applying some matte topcoat to most of the joints to ensure they stay tight. There's plenty of additional information on how to fix these builds online - take a look before starting your build. Beyond that caveat, it's a pretty good kit to build. There's a somewhat-surprising level of detail for a high grade kit. There's an almost-complete inner-frame. There's fully-molded AHAB reactors inside the chest, even though they're almost-completely hidden by the armor. The head detail is fantastic. And the kit comes with options to build both the first and fourth forms of Barbatos. This basically comes down to shoulder armor and an alternate left arm... But it still gives you more variety to the build Unfortunately there's some fairly-egregious color-correcting stickers, too. A couple leg sections, for example, have huge dark-grey stickers that probably could've been separate bits of plastic. So I might recommend painting some of the kit instead of using the included stickers. Ultimately it's yet another fantastic high grade kit... With a few extra challenges here and there.

This is the first model i have assembled in years and the ease that it went together is amazing. Awesome flexibility and range of motion in the joints. Not a fan of the stickers.

My son loves these!

This was my first gundam and even though I was a beginner I found it very easy and fun to build. I would not recommend this for more experienced builders as it is simple as far as gundam builds go. I also want to address the reviews saying the parts come off easily-as long as you follow the instructions and make sure to cut every peice correctly as well as place them in the right spot, everything should be fine. I have posed my barbatos many times and have not had problems. The backpack however, has two identical parts and one of them would not fit on all the way and fell off when I would place weapons on it so I swapped the two pieces and they both fir perfectly in place so make sure to improvise if you have problems as well. Overall I'd just really reccomend this to beginners, I had a lot of fun and cant wait to build more!

i loved building this model. definitely took a bit of time but the results are worth it. i love the articulation on this model. the stickers were surprisingly easy to put on with the help of tweezers. the weapons do not stay in the backpack very well though. im excited to line the panels later on when i get the proper tools for that
