BANDAI BAN201873 Gundam 01 Barbatos HG, Multi-colored, M

An absolutely fantastic kit. It's rare to see a High Grade gunpla with an inner frame, and even more rare to see it at such a cheap price. The gunpla has plenty of articulation and range, and is fun to just mess around with. More accessories would be nice, but for the cost (cost, please note, being the original asking price from when it was originally released) it's totally worth it.

This gundam was my first and certainly not my last after building this one. I ordered it without fully knowing what to expect but was pleasantly surprised with the quality and overall turnout every piece you join together gives you satisfaction, the instructions are very clear and have some English in them. Was slightly smaller than I thought it would be but I absolutely love it! Very easy and very enjoyable to build! Can't wait to build my second one now.Banana for scale...

Bandai Hobby HG Orphans Gundam Barbatos "Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans" Model KitA fantastic product i love it, it is a 144 scale model of Gundam Barbatos and it is made of plastic contained in trays with numbers and letters on how to build the item.The instructions are easy to follow, the text is written in the manufacturers native tongue but the pictures are as easy to follow as "a well known plastic building block company".One note i might add to building this is that there are small stickers that go on the model in the knees and chest so i suggest purchasing a set of fine nosed tweezers to get these stickers on and alongside those maybe some sand paper, some side cutters, and a hobby knife if you want to get a really nice clean model, i also suggest if you want a nice finish to buy a matte or glossy topcoat to really make your model stand out.The model comes with an extra arm and a few other parts so you can buy alternate weapons such as guns and such like but i found the weapons the Gundam already has is sufficient for my model build.If you wish for aerial poses you can buy optional stands, this was my first build and i am sure to purchase a few more as i had a really nice enjoyable time creating this model.

First of all it came 12 days early, which is great, especially right now during the plague. Speaking as somebody who used this as their first Gunpla build, it's pretty good. For the money you get a pretty cool little figure, building it is fairly easy and quick, my only gripe is that it's kinda fragile, I don't have any frame of reference, but this feels incredibly delicate, just getting the mace into his hands was a 10 minute ordeal of putting him back together, maybe that's due to my own ineptitude, but I've heard similar complaints about this model. Overall, really great, just don't be like me and accidentally cut off the connection point for the headdress, had to glue it back on

Great product, son loves it, only present he was interested in and hasn’t put it down since I built it, recommend you purchase a stand to go with as had to order one after I gave it to him.

Yet again, shipping was fantastic - arrived in less than a week of ordering (Japan to England).This gunpla is 100% faithful to the Gundam's on-screen appearance in the anime series "Iron Blooded Orphans". It has two interchangeable left arms and shoulder armour, to recreate the look of the Gundam's first appearance, and its appearance later in season 1. It also comes with its club and katana, and unfortunately no alternative hands.The figure is a quick and simple build as most High Grade gunpla are. Stickers are required in several areas here, including eyes, shoulder armour, knees, and several other areas. The articulation is brilliant, and is in no way disappointing.I highly recommend this gunpla, as it is a brilliant choice for someone who either likes the look of it and just wants it, or for someone who is starting off with the gunpla hobby.(4th picture context: height comparison between Gundam Frame Barbatos [right] and Geara Ghirarga [left]. Both are to 1/144 scale)

Good model, however the stickers are obnoxious in their abundance and look scruffy, especially the ones on the legs. Would definetly paint instead, don't make my mistake in using the stickers!However I suppose it's to be expected from a high grade...Will probably remove them and paint in future.Not to mention the fact that it feels like it's missing an accessory or two. Mainly the gun it uses in the show.

I bought this as my first try at Gunpla and I was pleasantly surprised. I sat down for the whole night just to build it and it came out really well! Like most kits it does need paint and the added touches, but even without it still looks really good. Thanks for the wonderful experience!
