[RG Gundam Exia launch] It's here! See the kit built!

The newest RG kit, the "RG 1/144 GN-001 Gundam Exia", launches on April 26th.

We've already looked at the Exia's path from announcement to release, as well as a blowout photoset of the kit, so now it's time for a build review!


■ The RG Exia from all angles!

▲ These are the runners. Of course, the hologram PET "GN Cord" and silver plated "GN Sword" and "GN Blades" will draw your eyes first.

▲First, we'll be putting together the Advanced MS Joint frame, then adding the armor parts. The "GN Condenser"'s gleam is recreated with clear parts and realistic decals.

▲ With the legs complete, we move on to the torso, arms, and then the head. The GN Drive, a major Gundam 00 plot point, can be detached.

▲ With the suit complete, it's time to build the weapons. Arm it as you see fit, and it's complete!

▲ Pose it, decorate it, and reenact your favorite scene!

▲ The RG Gundam Exia brings RG mobility to a new peak, with heavy use of circular motions for natural, smooth posing.

▲ What a kick! It can even hold this pose!

This build took about four hours, with the occasional break. It's just the way to fill an afternoon this Golden Week!
