Premium Bandai HG 1/144 NRX-055 Baund Doc (Gates Capa Custom)

The six-to-eight-week wait was the only downside, but the custom Gates Capa color scheme on this HG looks sharp once the panel lines are done. The transformation is fiddly but holds together well in mobile armor mode.

The articulation on this Baund Doc is impressive, with the large binders posing sturdily without needing much glue. The extra Gates Capa parts make the silhouette really stand out on the shelf.

I was a bit nervous about the wait time, but the Baund Doc's unique asymmetrical design and the clear parts on the Gates Capa are absolutely stunning in person. The articulation in the arms for that huge beam saber pose is surprisingly solid once assembled. Totally worth the patience for this kit.
