HGCE 1/144 Force Impulse Gundam

Hello everyone! 

This time, let take a look on this kit that I have been wanting for so long... the HGCE 1/144 Force Impulse Gundam

UNBOXING

Now.. on the anime, this mobile suit was divided into four parts the core fighter (not sure what its called), the upper body and the lower body and the force silhouette (the plane carrying the backpack)

Unfortunately, the core fighter and the silhouette flyer comes with all white... well, that is expected since this is just a high grade kit.

LEGS

The legs can bend at two point that results to a nice bend on the knee. The feet is connected by a ball joint and a peg, so you can swing the foot a little forward and backward. You can also bend the foot downward.

SKIRT

Not so much to say in here. The front skirt is molded together but can be separated, it can also swing forward. The side skirt is connected by a peg and you can move it front, back, in and out. The back skirt is a solid piece and not movable.

ARMS

The shoulder armor is connected to the body (which I forgot to take picture) by a ball joint.. there is a swivel on the bicep and two point bend at the elbow.

HEAD

No stickers here aside from the head cameras in front and at the back and also the eye stickers. As you can see, I messed up on the V-fins... I'm trying to sharpen this using my nipper but I just didn't do it correctly.. I may need some more practice on sharpening this. 🌝

Once all together...
 You will be given a folded core fighter that will be attached on its back..

ACCESSORIES and WEAPONS

So it came with the (of course) the force silhouette pack attached with two beam sabers, a beam riffle and a shield...

The force silhouette has a huge red sticker on its wings...You may want to take some time placing the stickers... or you could simply paint them if you want to.

There are two options for the shield, one with the short one and the other is extended one... you just need to swap the parts if you want to choose either of the two.

The beam sabers that is attached at the backpack can be easily be taken off but with solid connection. Unfortunately that is not the same once it was held on the hands, the beam sabers can be easily slide off. Two beam saber effect parts is given on this kit.

The beam riffle, the white part on the scope is a sticker. The scope can move side to side, same with the secondary handle(?) below.

The beam riffle can be stored at the back of the skirt if not in use.

OVER ALL

This is a great kit for a high grade.. not sticker dependent for color accuration. Also, this kit is very articulate. You can have some grate poses on this kit. The kit is recommended for Gundam Seed fanatics :)

building process: normal (good for beginners)
design: 9/10
details: 8/10 (considering that its a HG)
articulation: 10/10

overall: 9/10

Well, that is all and please look forward on my next review. Thanks for reading.
