Bandai Hobby RG 1/144#32 Nu Gundam Char's Counterattack

Sturdy, Small but details are accurate for a RG, the only downside is amuro ray statue is so tiny and fragile and you have to be careful of the fin funnels cuz they move alot once you move the moblie suit

I don't much care for the RG line, mostly because I prefer the size and level of detail that a MG kit offers. Having said that, this kit is exceptional. It is an MG on a slightly smaller scale. The level of detail and articulation is incredible. Color separation rivals that of the MG ver Ka. I know there are some that find the head to be slightly "stubby", if you don't like the head design of the MG Gundam the Origin RX 78 then you might not care for the head of this MS. Regardless, this kit is a must buy. It also needs to be displayed alongside the Sazabi RG. In terms of the build, I think the asymmetry of this kit really helps to make the build feel a bit more fresh than it might elsewise. It's pretty quick to build and definitely has display presence. Another kit that I get compliments on from non Gundam fans.

loved this kit. Sturdy and solid quality, and looks good both out-of-box and with panel lining/decals (shown here).

It’s a fun and detailed build. This kit is more intricate and fragile compared to other kits such as high grades or entry grades, so I can’t recommend this as a good starting set for beginners. However, for an experienced model builder this kit is fantastic and well worth the price.

This is not your typical RG kit that comes with pre-molded skeletons that are already so loose to begin with. This is more like a mini MG kit that is scaled down in size. The construction of the frame is similar to that of the MG, you need to construct each joint piece by piece unlike the earlier RG kits where it is already pre-molded and assembled. All the joints are tight and nicely constructed. I also built the MG Nu Gundam Ver. KA in the past and this kit is not a cheap version of that by any mean. It provides much of the details the MG Ver. KA has to offer. Some of the armors pieces can be extended the way the MG does although they are simpler. Regardless, I really enjoy building this RG kit and I think this is the best RG kit that I had ever built so far. I have bought the RG Sazabi and Hi-Nu Gundam too because I have heard great things about them. I can't wait to get my hands on them and compare.

That's it. This is pretty much the tops.Like, there are a lot of kits I have and love, for example the HGUC Hy-Gogg is my favorite MS, with it's brother the Kapool a close second, but the Hy-Gogg's kit wasn't the BEST kit I've ever built and the No Grade Kapool DEFINITELY isn't the best kit I've ever built. For another example, I've built the Real Grade Gold Frame Amatsu Mina and Unicorn Gundam. The Gold Frame was a fun build, the Unicorn not so much.This however? This kit bests all of the kits I've built. Better than the HG Moon Gundam, the MG Turn A or Turn X, better even than the MG Barbatos (In my humble opinion). Quite frankly the mechanics, the articulation, and the general quality of the plastic are all wonderful.TL;DR All I can say is: if you like Gunpla, get this kit.

Would buy again

Truly a work of art that Bandai has made. An idea of a RG V gundam was perfect, because I usually hate collecting normal HG kits. The fully built kit consists of the V gundam, a beam rifle, two beam sabers, a new hyper bazooka, a shield, six fin funnels, and an 1/144 Amuro figure. Other parts are adapters for action bases, alternate hand parts, and a pretty big decal sheet is included. The kit was a interesting build, took me around 5 or 6 hours to fully complete. Articulation is quite self explained, and you have to build the inner frame, a twist for me because I’m quite used to the RG cutout frame even though I started out with master grade. You can change the hand pieces to let him weld his weapons. You can also open the various exhasust vents around the gundam. The left arm has a regular beam saber stored in it, and can slide out. The gundam very tall, and that’s because in the movie the V gundam is around 75 feet tall. The gundam also has a new head sculpt, and having never built the MG V gundam, I think it looks cool.My two complaints are the funnels feel a bit loose or “floppy” when attached. Also, if you use the neckpiece included, it will look a bit weird on the gundam for me. But no worries, if you happen to have a high grade neckpiece lying around, you could modify it to fit on the gundam. Bam, one problem fixed!This kit was very interesting to build. But I do not recommend building this kit if you are a beginner at gunpla or just started building RG kits. For me, it a quite easy build. If you’ve been building for a long time, or a person who’s building master grades and need a perfect introduction the the RG line, this kit is your friend. A very enjoyable build.
