The Calamity Gundam, piloted by the enhanced human but experimental Orga Sabnak. This kit compared to the 1/144 Non Graded one was really a great deal of improvement all the way long. Although HG Seed kits are more expensive than usual HG and HGUC kits, the quality makes up for it.

The colour is exactly what it is supposed to be but the shiny reflecting effect is not present without paint. Traditional Gundam type head with 2 pieces front and back, a clear eye and a red mouth and chin. The eyes are the usual sticker bits but the parts night be too small and care must be given so as to not losing them.

This guy is pretty and not to say that the body is made up of 2 major colours, a darker and almost to black green and a bluish green. Nice effects all over except for the middle blaster part. That part is done by sticker and I dont think the stickers could really do the effects properly.

Good flexibility and nice movements though not up to any MG standard. The fist is similar to those of HGUC types where the fingers is one whole part with another piece of white plate covering and completing the fingers. Weird and one piece lesser than the 1/100 Non-Graded Seed ones.

Flexible as it can be and the detail is sufficient. All the parts already come in their final colours. Cool legs mechanisms too which are quite different from any Gundams I have assembled before.

The giant cannons are what this guy is all about. Can move a 360 degrees if not assembled to the body but still nicely done except for the inner cannon detail which must be painted to look exact. All in all a good kit and an affordable kit for 1200 yen. Get one today before they get discontinued.
