I like how this turned out

I like how this turned out | Just finished the master grade Gundam kyrios!
Here are my thoughts on it; A really long time ago I built the high grade version of this, which has a few problems but they were fixed in the master grade. For looks I REALLY like the orange, it's pretty unique among the Gundams I've built. I did do a little more than just panel-lining though, so I'll put the extra stuff in comments. For weapons there's the shield and beam rifle you just saw, along with two beam sabers stored in the hip armor, and finally what I assume are missile launchers. This is the first issue with the high grade that the master grade fixed, the high grade had beam saber handles but no effect parts for them. I think this is pretty interesting, there's a little cylinder you can pull out of the back that's meant to hold two LED's. I don't have them though, otherwise I would've included it in this review, but I did order some so I'll make a post when I get them. While I have it turned around like this I'll mention the second high grade issue this fixed. These two back parts used to stick STRAIGHT out on the high grade. They could be pointed down like they are on the master grade, but the connection point was placed in a way that makes them stick out so that seemed to be the intended method. The transformation also feels like an improvement, but since I can't directly compare I won't count it since if this looks better or not is purely up to opinion. That being said, it does look quite nice; This doesn't have any landing gear so if you want to display it like this I recommend using any action base compatible with the included adapter. I believe it's only the action bases 4 and 5 but I could be wrong. To attach this you have to remove the back hip armor, slide on the adapter, then attach the hip armor back on. For the final issue from the high grade... It wasn't fixed. And it involves articulation. The master grade's articulation is pretty good, but there are some problems in the torso, feet, and just like the high grade: the knees. These massive wings(?) get in the way CONSTANTLY, and the high grade had the same issue. I'm not really disappointed by this though since I kind of saw it coming. Pretty much every joint in this is really tight, so at first the articulation will feel like it absolutely SUCKS but eventually you'll get used to it. Overall a pretty good kit, and far better than the last master grade I built. 7.9/10. It's pretty damn good when it comes to looks but leg articulation can be pretty inconvenient as I said before, but since it fixed the other two high grade issues I can excuse that. | image tagged in blank white template,gundam review | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

I hate to brag but surprisingly it didn't, only a couple hours for the build and then probably another hour for panel-lining

Front and back of knees. I forgot to take a picture of the back of the knees but luckily it shows in this picture showing the action base ad | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
