BANDAIHobby HG 1/144 Hyakuren Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Model Kit

So just finished the Hyakuren straight build and put up the pics but some things I wanna share about the build that were good, the bad and the ugly.PROS:-Great part separation of plastics and colors-Feels very accurate to the anime representation-Simple yet easily refreshing build-Seam lines can easily be removed from the kit-A straight build is very satisfying-HARDLY ANY STICKERS!!And the ones it has are super small-Accessories can be held with no slack.-Joints feel solid despite their thinness or construction.CONS:-Loose joint on the head, comes off easily and the head can't look up at all due to its shape-VERY STIFF AND TIGHT STOMACH JOINTS, Careful with the pegs as it could break.-Shoulders, tho solid and clean. Have an issue where they can pop out easily due to the surrounding plastic near the poly cap and ball joint. Just cuz of the design of the mobile suit they tend to collide.-Some nubs are in awkward locations so take caution as it can make a seam line VERY visible or leave a chip. Didn't happen to me but still.All in all if you love the design or the series, this kit is very satisfying and id say grab it when you can. At the low price of 1000 yen or nearly 12 dollars here, for what you get its worth it.Now to mod and make it look better and to my tastes smile emoticon

With the release of the Iron Blooded series I figured it was time to grab some of their mass produced suits. They do not dissapoint with affordability, decent poses, and able to hold any of their weapons. These suits are easy builds, but they look awsome.

very cool model love it the only art about the etire model is that the fet are very small for the overall build of the model

Pretty nice experience！ I ordered here and only waited for a week！ They gave it a hard cover and I didn't even see a tiny wound on the packaging！ The model itself is cool，the IBO hg series has a fake skeleton inside. Although the fake skeleton of this one is not as complete as Barbados，it is still pretty good at supporting. The skirt armos are big so the range of motion of its legs are limited， but you can still build cool poses of it. By the way，it has a linkage design on its knees，which not pretty common among hgs.

Wife got this one for me for Christmas. Really a lot of fun to build. Very close to the pictured kit when finished without having to paint or anything. I have built a lot of these kits but this one was hands down one of the most enjoyable. I would suggest this kit to anyone who enjoys the 1/144 size kits.

Great quality and arrived in perfect shape

I really like this model, it's among my favorites. The waist skirt armor kinda gets in the way of truly dynamic leg poses, but otherwise this is solidly constructed, well armed, and very striking on the shelf.

I really wanted to love this guy. From all the shots he looks awesome, and I was really excited to get my second Iron blooded orphans kits. But there are a slew of problems with this guy. First off, on the technical side, this guy is a brick. you get very little head movement and the arms can't even rotate more then 45 degrees. the elbow bend is good however. the torso is a brick swell with no movement except if you really try to twist the ball joint out of place. as for the waist, the massive waist armor falls off super easily because it is held on with a super small polycap and it severely restricts the movement of the legs both front/back and out. feet are super small which makes posing hard. also in my opinion, it looks stupid when you have it in your hand. It reminds me of a flat square, docent look cool on a shelf, hard to pose, and just genuinely unimpressive.ALSO; as a general not of disappointment with the iron blooded orphans line, is the lack of hands in both styles, and quality. if you put a weapon in this guys hands, or any other IBO kit, if you were to blow lightly on that weapon, the hand would just fall apart SUPER annoying for posing since the hands are always breaking. you also don't get any open hands or anything for dynamic poses, again this is with all of the IBO kits, to my knowledgeThe reason I did give it three stars however, is that there excellent color separation, and the colors are indeed very nice, also the knee armor gimmick is cool to see on a high grade. Also I do like the weapons and the boxing gloves storing in the waist armor is cool
