Premium Bandai HG 1/144 Gundam Plutone Black

The included beam saber blades are a translucent purple that catches the light perfectly, and the extra armor panels snap into place with a satisfying click that feels more premium than your average HG.

The dark gray plastic has a nice matte finish straight out of the box, and the chest vents are molded with sharp detail. The included Plutone-specific beam rifle clicks together perfectly with no seam lines to clean up.

The articulation on this kit is surprisingly smooth for a High Grade, and that deep black finish looks sharp on the shelf next to my other builds. It went together cleanly in about two evenings, and the extra detailing from the Premium Bandai mold really pops once you panel-line it.
