All Gunpla kit reviews

A hover sled kit that skips the mobile suit entirely and still earns a spot on the shelf.

A rifle backpack with lead wire cables, built to bolt onto whatever HG you already love.

A P-Bandai grunt suit that builds fast and looks better than a mass-production unit has any right to.

A P-Bandai-only mono-eye grunt whose four-barrel rifle does all the heavy lifting.

Gjallarhorn's forgotten workhorse, and a surprisingly fun little grunt kit.

A cheap, feminine-proportioned Graze cousin that trades a little sturdiness for a lot of personality.

A Premium Bandai parts swap that turns a familiar frame into an arcade sniper.

A mass-production background mech that turns out to have more personality in the hands than it does on screen.

A ten dollar backpack and rifle that turns any Core Gundam into Alus's hollow copy of the real thing.

A P-Bandai expansion pack that turns the Hazel Custom into something genuinely bigger.

A support fighter kit that only really finishes the story once it's docked to a Hazel.

The escape pod that started every One Year War Gundam, now in Full Armor colors on your shelf.

The escape pod that started the whole three-stage-combination habit, cast in the muted grays of a machine still in testing.

A J-League scarf wrapped around a genuinely good Strike Gundam mold.

The solid 2013 Strike Gundam mold traded its Earth Alliance grey for a J-League kit strip.

A clear-part light show that trades sturdy wings for star power.

A cheap plastic weapon rack that turns any 1/144 or 1/100 kit into a walking artillery piece.

The kit that put Celestial Being's melee ace on your shelf for the price of a couple of lunches.

Lyle's sniper suit gets its movie colors, but the mold underneath is still 2010 HG.

A hulking one-eyed brawler that trades grace for menace, and mostly gets away with it.

Two 2001-era HG kits bundled at a beginner price, one box that hands you the whole One Year War in miniature.

Kallen's signature Knightmare in a simple, honest 1/35 snap kit.

A cheap little runner of guns and a lance that quietly makes two other kits better.

The cheap grey training dummy that turns into whatever you want it to be.
