Just finished the high grade destiny Gundam! Here are my thoughts on it; Starting with looks, I LOVE the wings. Even without the effect parts, they look really good. I also like the light blue stripes on the torso, which surprisingly aren't stickers; For articulation, the only part I have difficulty with is the legs. The joint where they connect to the waist is pretty tight, but if you power through it there's a pretty nice range of motion. For weapons, first there's the beam rifle and the shield. The shield can extend a small amount which reveals this red piece; Next there's a couple larger weapons folded up on the backpack, first is this larger beam rifle which is green for some reason. I think it's a bit strange because it has to go under the arm and wing. Not difficult, just awkward. Be mindful of these parts that stick off the sides, they can block you from attaching the beam effect part if you don't fold them out. As for the other one, it's a MASSIVE blue sword. It's meant to be held in both hands, but it still works in just one. There's also a couple boomerang shaped weapons which detach from the shoulders; And finally, there's a couple beam effect parts which attach to the hands. Speaking of hands, there aren't normal open hand parts. Just some weirdly shaped ones for the effect part on the left. Quick thing to note about the backpack: the connection to the back is VERY tight. While putting this in a pose I tried to take it off so the wings are out of the way, but I ended up breaking the torso into two pieces. Luckily it wasn't very difficult to put them back together, but if you want the wings out of the way I recommend disconnecting them from the backpack. Not disconnecting the backpack from the back. Anyway, as for my final thoughts on it I think this is a pretty nice kit. Although it has a PC (PolyCap) runner it is BARELY used throughout the kit, if I remember right it's mainly used in the ankles. Because of this a lot of the joints have more range of motion than other kits. 8.7/10
