Master Grade Tallgeese Ver. EW 1/100 Scale Action Figure Model Kit

This is a kit I’ve always wanted, and I was happy that the shipping was fast. Everything looks great, but the box arrived with a dented corner. Other than that, I’m satisfied with the purchase.

Mi modelo de gundam favorito me encantó armarlo en mg ojalá existiera la versión perfect grade, por el precio se lo conseguí estuvo excelente lo recomiendo, aquí lo comparo con el RG y el tamaño sí ayuda mucho a posarlo

Comparing this to the MG Heavy Arms, I have to say, this one wins! Now, I do love both suits, but this one gives a bit more than the Heavy Arms.Getting right into it, this suit comes with the Dober Gun, 2 beam sabers (hooked in the shield), and a shield. It also comes with a variety of decals (like over 60) to slap on nearly all over the kit! It comes with a visor sticker that goes inside the head and some red dot stickers that go on the chest and waist. Also, it has some yellow decals that go on the wings yet all the other parts like around the shield for instance are already colored in yellow. And if you look around the suit, it has a bunch of thrusters which are on the back of the waist, in front of the waist, and on the sides. Even more, it has a backpack with 2 turbines/jets to add an even more awesome look to it!The only real bad things with this kit is those yellow stickers for the wings (they popped off a couple times), the visor (it is a clear part with the sticker inside the head), and the set is very heavy so you can't pose it without an MG stand (you can but mine fell over many times with the slightest bump to it). One more thing, the ankles have a part that tends to fall off pretty easily, but it just needs to be snapped back in which isn't a big deal but can be annoying if you accidentally mess with it.The Tallgeese altogether though is a very amazing suit. It has an excellent inner frame and if you invest in a stand, you can extend the thrusters out and pull off some real sweet poses. Plus the gimmicks are endless with all the thrusters as stated are able to pop out, you can hook the shield to and the gun to the shoulder mounts to pull off some even cooler poses, and there is a spring you put in the dober gun that allows it to extend in and extend out the canon which is pretty sweet! So, if your looking for a difficult build that pays off if you put some hours into it, this is truly the kit for you!

This model kit was my first foray into Gunpla. I was a little intimidated by ratings like "Master-Grade" and whatnot, but those names really are just marketing to make the model seem more valuable. I can safely say as a beginner that I was able to build this model casually over the course of a couple of weeks without much trouble, and it looks great!You WILL need, at the minimum, the following to build this kit comfortably:- Nice sharp model nippers/flush-snips (Some of the pieces are quite small and fragile, so don't skimp on this)- A hobby knife- Sanding/buffing/polishing apparatuses (tri-grit sanding sticks are what I used)I also used the following to really give the finished product a "professional" feel:- Gundam pour-type ink pens for panel lining (these are VERY easy to use and markedly improve the look of the model)- Tweezers for applying some of the very small decals- A matte top-coat spray can (makes the model look less plastic-y)All of the above tools cost me less than $50, but the extra cost is still there so consider it.The kits articulation is quite good, it's very poseable. It has tons of gimmicks that are fun too: the back-mounted thrusters open by pulling on the little stabilizer wing and they have a multi-point articulated opening action. The waist-boosters also open up. The Dober gun has recoil action as well which is cool.The kit comes with a LOT of decals. I couldn't believe how many I ended up applying to this thing. The sticker-type decals are OK, not great. At a distance, you can't tell and they look fine, but up close they are really apparent. The kit also comes with dry-transfer decals, which are actually quite easy to apply when you learn how, and look really, really good up-close. They are mainly the larger decals.Overall I would say it was a great first model for me, and anyone else who wants to get into model-building and has a fond rememberence of the Lightning Count from Gundam Wing!

the model arrived on time and intact, however the instruction manual was completly in japanese with no english. while its easy enough to interpret the images for constructing the model, it would've been nice to have an english manual.

Grandson loved this for Christmas. He builds many of these and this didn’t disappoint at all. Very pleased. Shipped quickly.
