I remember building the older version of this 1/144 G Gundam mobile fighter some 15 years ago... Trust me, this one is way BETTER! It is still HG though, but it really is improved, my older version is just a joke! This one is worth the money with all the improvements, upgrades, and color separation of parts that definitely overshadows all those older version.
I am really glad Bandai came up with this HGUC line and made sure G Gundam is included as well!

One of the three default questions from EBay when reviewing a product is "Is it durable?" Of course, being a plastic model kit, the answer is "No". This model is not something meant for rough play with children. Kit also has many intricate, minute, and easily breakable parts. Adult supervision is definitely required when building the kit with children and should be given caution accordingly.
Another excellent model kit from Bandai. The articulation of it is perfect for recreating poses from the anime and the joints seem to hold pretty well so you canrest assured the model will take any pose gracefully. It's a fun and simple kit that I would enjoy building multiples of.
