Premium Bandai HG 1/144 RX-124 Gundam TR-6 [Woundwort]

The dark gray plastic has a really nice matte finish that makes the panel lines pop even without painting. I was impressed by how well the booster pods click into place on the backpack.

The waist joints on this Woundwort are much tighter than my other HGs, making it feel solid when posing with the big shield. It’s a straightforward snap-fit build, but the deep blue plastic looks fantastic out of the box.

The transformation into the TR-6’s distinctive bulky silhouette is seamless, and the articulation in the shoulders holds poses way better than I expected from a 1/144. Panel lines are crisp enough that even a straight build looks sharp without extra work.
