Description

This might be the best HG kits I’ve built in ages. It might just be the best. It has everything you need in your gunpla, a solid build, fantastic poseability and more than three hands. Plus it has great balance.

Also it’s nice to build a kit that doesn’t come with your typical accessories, you know, beam rifle, shield that kinda jazz. Instead what you get is TRANSLUCENT FLAMING EFFECT PARTS OF FIERY HOTNESS! And do they ever glow.

The only downside to this kit is the way the shoulders connect to the main body, which is to say they don’t. It utilizes a special method that is a double ball-socket polycap and will pop out on it’s own terms.

There's a chance you misassembled the shoulder. I had the same problem initially and decided to look at the manual, as I thought it was too obvious of a problem to make it to the final kit. And indeed the problem was that the polycap has to be moved all the way in and is held inside the torso: i.imgur.com/y0T7npr.png

On the left is a shot from Gaijin-Gunpla WIP with the wrong assembly. On the right is my shot after fixing the issue. Note that the edges of the polycap are tucked into the torso.

Oh yeah, I built the shoulder wrong. You know, I did think it looked weird with those grey pieces on the outside.
I'm really not going to enjoy ripping the seams apart.

Thank you though, that was very helpful.
