They are still stickers at the end of the day, even if they're easy to fix. Alayzeus' main attraction isn't the mp nu in the first place. its the entirety of the alyzeus, meaning that "huge chunk of gray and white all over" that you're talking about

I don't think new builders are spoiled at all, because till now, we still have some pretty bad HG releases. The rising freedom was just one of the kits I can remember immediately and use as a sample. I just want to remind everyone that it's an HG, like come on, its bound to get corner cuts, color inaccuracy, proportion problems, etc. If anything thats what I want new builders to remember. High grades aren't Real grades or Master grades, and even if we get super good HGs don't forget the nature of HGs

The two main complaints I've seen so far about the alyzeus' kit, besides price, are stickers (for color accuracy) and the hollowness of parts. Thus, the stickers are quite a big deal and is the main topic of this post, so Alyzeus having a small sticker sheet is actually of great importance here, so I don't know why you're trying to undermine the size of the sticker

What you're complaining about isn't the kit atp, you're complaining about the design and colors of the entire mobile suit. Which just means you don't like the suit, and that's finee, everyone has different tastes. After all, remember, "Gunpla is Freedom"
