Comment
I never like Zeon marine type. A mech that is design to look like a shrimp is not to my
taste. After I have read some good review on the net for this kit and I decided try out this
kit.
Once I pop up the box and start constructing this kit, all I could comment is that this
kit is excellent. It has instantly converted me into a Zeon's marine mobile suit fans.
The plastic is molded in the correct color thus making painting optional. It will be nice
enough just to put the unpainted kit on the shelf but I cannot stand the plastic look so I
painted it anyway. Plastic is molded in good quality as mold lines, seam lines not obviously
visible. Most seam line is well hidden under panel line. The only seam line that is visible
is on the chest. It is not hard to sand it off.
Posing is not a problem for this kit. It has surpassed my “Mech Crouching” test and it
could even do a spread eagle! The articulation is that good. Period.
Packaging
- 3 plastic trees. 1 sticker, 1 polycaps.
- Plastic molded in 4 colors. Painting is optional.
- Plastic quality very good
- Some pictures on the box and a small 8 pages manual.
Weapons, Gimmicks and Accessories
This kit does not come with any external weapons but I think the quality is
enough to make up for it. The main feature is that this kit is using ball joint for
its limb thus making extreme pose is possible.

This is an extremely fun and easy kit to build that you could complete over the weekend.
I am surprise on how quickly I could assemble this kit. You have to get this.
