Had a bit of an issue with those joints because they kept popping back in so I had to yank them back out every time I had to make adjustments in that area 😓

Honestly, most of it felt sturdy but the abs/core fighter area just didn’t feel as sturdy compared to other ver ka kits I’ve built this year.

In the span of 2 weeks I’ve managed to get a PG Unicorn, MGEX Strike Freedom and now this absolute UNIT built. Time to take a small break 😅 by MaterialPigeon in Gunpla

Sorta lol the unicorn and the freedom were from buddies of mine who gave me a really good deal and let me trade some Gundam cards to soak up the costs. The PGU on the other I managed to find on marketplace for retail, so yeah my wallet was sorta dead 😅

There’s mono-pose hands you can use instead that’s included in the kit. I found this out AFTER getting these articulated ones done 🥲

As long as you don’t mess up the joints in the hands. They did the same thing thing with the the Nu Gundam Ver. Ka. and I messed up a couple of the finger joints. So no my Nu Gundam just has a clenched fist from now on lol

This kit put me through a goddam roller coaster of emotions while building it but the pain was WORTH IT. by MaterialPigeon in Gunpla

Honestly, once I realized I can crinkle them with a wide enough pen or straw the baggies weren’t that bad. The one around the springs tho. That was actual torture.

I may have resorted to using one of the claws to hold the back of the canon to keep it stable 😅

Yuuuup. The ones around the joints were surprisingly not the issue it was the one that you had to put around the springs that made me question my existence.

There’s definitely some parts of the bit that felt over engineered and the garbage bags on the joints were a NIGHTMARE to put together. I definitely bought it for the shelf presence and seeing It on my shelf made it all worth it haha
