Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First impressions when I opened the packaging to this kit was, "Wow, this is going to be hard to keep track of all the gold." Over 80% of the runners are nicely done blingy metallic gold, and when I closely inspected the gold pieces, I could only find 2 pieces where the packaging had rubbed the gold plating off. This is impressive considering the package was sent through the Military Postal Service. The kit fits together extremely well, although some of the pieces seem to fit a little too tight. Be careful when handling the ball joints on the backpack units, they are easily broken if forced into place; remember to use some finesse. The gold pieces themselves make extensive use of the undergate technology, resulting in very few marks noticable when the kit is complete. As it is only a High Grade kit, there is little to no inner frame, so you don't get to see the inner workings of this guy, however it still holds its own with the included stand for dramatic poses. The joints are strong enough to hold its weight when standing(even with a backpack unit attatched), and the legs moderately articulate while still being able to maintain balance of the unit. What really makes the kit pop is (obviously) the gold armor. It really highlights the angles and details of the kit, and there are better than average details molded into the pieces themselves (for example the model number of the unit is actually molded into the left fin of the head). It even comes with a sheet of decals. Overall, it is an awesome kit, and looks amazing when it is completed. The only downside I have come across is the awkwardnes of the shield when you try to position it for a pose.

2)Lots of pieces to keep you busy
