1/144 HG00 #01 Gundam Exia

Pros:
- The kit does not have a special thing to offer its terms of assembling or building it. an easy build and simple.
- The assembled model kit looks aesthetically good and have a good resemblance to Gundam Exia.
- Rubber parts are used on the shoulder to mimic the design of the Exia which is a good alternative for plastic as using it will hinder the arm movement.
- A good number of accessories is provided including a GN shield, multiple blades, GN sword, and beam saber handles.

Cons:
- The biggest issue with this model kit that it feels fragile. the joints does not feel tight and legs can be easily moved by accident without even trying to.
- due to the loosens of the joints posing the assebled model kit can become a real pain to difficult to do. the legs especially may not hold themselves if you are going with a dynamic pose due to the loosens of joints.
- A lot of stickers to apply for the arms, legs, shield, and weapons, a lot of these stickers could have been easily replaced with plastic parts.
- the fins on the head piece of the kit is white while they should be yellow so, a yellow gundam marker should be applied.

Overall as a fan of the Gundam 00 anime series and the design of its mobile suits I am very disappointment with this model kit. fans of the series can consider going for the 1/144 00 Gundam or the 1/144 Gundam Exia Repair II. 2 out of 5 for me.
