This was actually a pretty quick build, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just over an hour

Just finished the Gundam heavyarms! Here are my thoughts on it; I got this one at hobby lobby, since they barely have anything new I needed to grab at least one. The main thing that pushed me to get this instead of the real grade rx-78-2 is the fact that it's from Gundam wing, the anime I watched some of but never finished. But it actually turned out to be one of the better kits in my collection! Starting with articulation, it's pretty good compared to the last couple high grades I've built! The armor doesn't block it too much, and all of the joints are rock solid; The only issue I have is this mechanism that is blocked by the chest armor if you don't pull it up enough. It resembles the livelance heaven, which means it probably copied this from the Gundam deathscythe. I'll go into this more in detail later on. As for weapons, the main thing is this machine gun, which resembles the one on the high grade gouf custom, but doesn't share any parts with it. It has a handle on the side for more realistic machine gun poses, but in my experience it just limits articulation. It also doesn't attach via a handle like a regular shield or gun, but instead you detach the current hand piece and slide the dark blue part over the forearm. I'm honestly not mad about this since most of the wing kits I've built require you to remove the hands for whatever reason anyway. The more observant of you would've noticed this blade on the other arm. This doesn't really do much, it's just a knife that swings out from the forearm for some basic melee capabilities. As for the rest of them... I'll let the image speak for itself. Back to the thing I mentioned about Gundam deathscythe, this kit reuses some parts from it. The only reason I know this is because I built the livelance heaven which reuses a TON of parts from deathscythe. I mainly recognize the thumbs up hand pieces, but the other ones are likely also from the deathscythe, and you can swap them out with the default ones from the heavyarms. However I only tested the ankles (bottom right) at least the hands aren't loose as f*ck like on the livelance! Definitely one of the better kits I've built in a while, 9/10. Although I still like the 00 command qan[t] better for looks, the heavyarms is pretty unique due to the sheer amount of guns it has. Idk what it is with me and these bulky heavily armored Gundams but I love this thing
