بانداي هوبي HG 1/144 غاندام VIRSAGO

The transformation into the butterfly form is super satisfying and locks together way better than I expected for an HG kit. The dark blue and purple plastic colors pop nicely right out of the box, so even a quick panel line job makes it look great on the shelf.

The joints on this VIRSAGO kit hold poses really well even with the big backpack attached, which surprised me given how top-heavy it looks. Build took about two evenings and the gold accents pop nicely against the dark frame.

I was pleased with how the articulation holds pose for his back cannon, and the snap-fit assembly went together without any issues at all.
