Bandai HG 超級機器人大戰 OG HG ALTEISEN RIESE

The panel lining on this kit really makes the chunky armor pop, especially on the shoulders. I spent a couple of evenings snapping it together and the articulation in the arms is solid enough for some good dynamic poses.

Assembly was a breeze and the hip joints feel much sturdier than I expected from a HG kit. The massive weapon accessories really let you pose it for some dramatic battle scenes.

The panel lines on the Alteisen Riese are surprisingly crisp for an HG kit, and the massive pile-driver arms click together with a satisfying snap. I built it over a quiet weekend and was impressed by how solid the joints feel even with the heavy backpack.
