    Pre-Orders: If the figure is a pre-order item, check the estimated release date and shipping timeline before placing an order.


    How to Care for Your Figures

    Avoid Direct Sunlight: UV exposure can cause colors to fade over time. Store figures away from direct sunlight.

      With some TLC this kit is pretty good

      Not the most amazing kit in terms of fit, but it is a product of it's time. For a kit this old, it is not that bad and actually holds up well enough.

      Great place to start

      First MG and what a build! It was a bit of a trip to clip out the legs (watch out with those nippers!)

      Classic

      My first MG kit, absolute classic form and function, lines are a little iffy and needs lots of clean up to make fit perfectly

      Again

      Was given to me as a gift. Didn't get to build it but all in all still a good design. Joints are sturdy which was surprising and posability is pretty good.
