All Gunpla kit reviews

The well engineered Revive-era Impulse mold wearing a J2 football kit instead of its Cosmic Era colors.

A stocky missile boat that never asked to be a Gundam, and is more fun for it.

A twin-brother P-Bandai set that gets its whole identity from a clever paint job over an older mold.

A Reborns Gundam remix that swaps some articulation for two extra silhouettes and a fistful of gimmicks.

The very first kit in Bandai's Evangelion model line, and the one release that's still being reissued nearly thirty years later.

A 2013 new-tool kit the retailer itself calls highly detailed and articulated, which for this line is a genuine step up.

The Angel that nearly ended the show, kept simple on purpose.

A pocket-sized escape pod for the completionist who already owns the G-3 Gundam.

A weird, wonderful mobile armor that trades poses for pure silhouette shock.

The reliable HG Exia mold dressed in cherry blossom pink and sky blue for a J.League team that never fielded a single mobile suit.

A dated 2007 mold reborn in orange and black for a J.League football club, and I still had fun clipping it.

The same fun, fast-building Exia frame, dyed head to toe in J.League red and white.

The base Exia frame, buried under a mountain of armor plating that fights you the whole way.

The mook mobile suit of the Gundam 00 movie era, now in the yellow livery of a corporate goon squad, and it plays the part perfectly.

A recolor most builders will never even see in person, let alone build.

Suzaku's white knight with its flight pack attached, in a simple 1/35 snap kit.

A P-Bandai booster pack that takes its one job seriously.

The parts kit that turns your F90 into a two-gun electronic warfare specialist, once you accept it isn't trying to be the main event.

A weapons locker and a tiny worker mech in one cheap, honest little box.

A weapons crate and a scrappy little forklift-mech, both built to make your Barbatos Lupus look like it actually belongs to a gang.

The randsel that turns a plain MG Zaku into an MSV deep cut, if you're willing to work for it.

The resin fix that makes Katoki's F2 look like it stepped out of the OVA.

The most heavily armed Zaku Bandai ever boxed, wearing a two-decade-old skeleton.

A 1996 MG that builds like a museum piece, not a modern pose machine.
