The accuracy is even more remarkable than most HGs, due in large part to the relative simplicity of the colour scheme. It also comes with far more swappable hands than your average HG, and it is far more stable as well, attributable to its status as an unarmed unit. You can switch out the clear blue parts for reddish orange ones, a quick and painless process to say the least, and you can also attach an array of effect parts which, combined with how incredibly stable this kit is, allow for some very dynamic and dramatic poses, even without an action base. I can recommend this kit with a sound mind to anyone, regardless of skill level. Even if you haven't seen Build Fighters Try, you're going to love this kit--and that's a personal guarantee. There was one problem, though it seems to have been a defect with my kit in particular, as the entire polycap runner showed signs of severe warping.. The shoulder joints are incredibly weak, and moving the arms at all causes them to pop out of socket--and as well, there is a visible gap between the shoulders and the rest of the kit. This is a problem for me... Made even worse is the fact that Bluefin Distribution has temporarily stopped delivering replacement parts for gunpla at the time of this review, so my only choice was to buy another Build Burning and use it for spare parts. Thankfully, I have some plans for the rest of it, but it's still something I would've rather not had to do. So, buyer beware: If your kit has defects, Bluefin will no longer give you replacements. Review: A bit quirky, but definitely a great HG - I have a lot of gunpla (gundam plastic models) and they're all HG. The HG Build Burning Gundam is one of my favorite gunplas that has been released so far. It can pull off extreme poses, has great articulation, and one of the best parts: it comes with so many multiple hands!! For someone who only collects HG models, MOST kits (not all) only come with two holding hands and one open hand (typically the left hand). This kit comes with 2 fists, 2 holding hands, 2 karate chop hands, 2 open hands, and 2 burning firsts. Lemme list all the pros and cons for ya PROS: -LOTS OF HANDS FOR POSES -GREAT ARTICULATION (almost as good as the 00) -Comes with flame effect parts to pull off amazing fighting moves -It is an original kit, so every runner is new -not too many stickers either! -has some unique customization options CONS: -Two parts tend to always pop out and can get annoying sometimes: The shoulder to torso and the elbow armor. -no weapons, just physical attacks (it can be a pro, but I consider a con since most people would like a sword or a gun at least) OVERALL: -if you're getting into gunpla, I believe this is a great kit to add to your collection. I'm not saying it should be your first though because if you get this, then there aren't that many kits that'll make you as happy and has great articulation as this kit. I do definitely recommend to pick this up eventually! If you're looking for a gunpla that can pull off poses like Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, or anyone else that's into martial arts then THIS IS YOUR KIT. ## Features - Includes a hand sword - Little to no paint required to copy appearance - Colored plastic, little to no paint required to replicate appearance - A hobby nipper is required to remove parts from runners color plastic ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00M1APMU0 | | Age Range Description | Baby | | Brand Name | BANDAI | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 331 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Martial Arts | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04543112932303 | | Included Components | Bandai Hobby - Gundam Build Fighters Try - #18 Build Burning Gundam, Bandai HGBF 1/144 Model Kit | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Item Dimensions | 3 x 3 x 5 inches | | Item Type Name | Model Kit | | Item Weight | 9.12 ounces | | Manufacturer | Bluefin Distribution Toys | | Manufacturer Part Number | 2278301 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | No Warranty | | Manufacturer recommended age | 15 years and up | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | BAN193230 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Players | 1 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Power Source | battery powered | | Set Name | Gundam Build Fighters Try #18 | | Size | Large | | Sub Brand | Gundam | | Subject Character | #18 Build Burning Gundam | | Supported Battery Types | No batteries required | | Theme | Gundam | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![Hobby - Gundam Build Fighters Try - #18 Build Burning Gundam, HGBF 1/144 Model Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61HuGtsXxoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nearly Flawless *by H***N on December 25, 2015* Like most modern HGs, this kit is top of the line.
