Ok so I figured I'd leave the writing off till the last. So first off the detail. Considering its a Gundam you can imagine the detail is gonna be great. Well its absolutely gorgeous and the part I like the most is the wings. How the inner thrusters are detailed and lined up. Also the proportions are good. It does feel smooth but there is that same waist/torso annoyance. Moving to the articulation its splendid as well. You can close and open the wings, move the tail in a lot of angles, great bend in the arms and legs which allow great dynamic poses. Overall the articulation is awesome and makes it quite enjoyable. It comes with 2 open hands and 2 closed fists and one open fist which can hold the rifle and swap. So basically a switching hand that holds the rifle so if you want it to hold it on the left there ya go. The weapons are great. The rifle is awesome and well detailed and also the shield can open and close. The features on this is greater than the Age-1 and Age-2 and Age-3 combined. The Age-FX is the only one that matches and has a upper hand. My final thoughts would be heck yes! Go get one! While your at it grab the FX to have an amazing duo. Both are Gundams. One Earth Federation Gundam, One Vagan Gundam. Both at the peek of their powers and capabilities. Can't pass them up if your definitely looking for well worth models. Also if your a fan of collecting grab the other mobile suit models that Zeheart used. Like the Zeydra and Ghirarga. He also piloted a Zedas R but these 3 make more sense. Check out my videos for better information and coverage.

 Details/Proportions


The detail is great on this. It is a very unique design and the concept is unique as well. I love the tail and overall its a smooth one at best. Definitely gives off a sleek touch and look to itself. 

Articulation


The articulation is fine. No knee separation this time but overall splendid movement. I just hate the feet. They're kind of like the Spallow's feet with the weird designs which kind of makes it hard for it to support and stand on its own. Its more like one of those models that is more fun if you have an action base.

Weapons/Accessories



It comes with 2 staffs which can be held in one hand. As for the hands you can use either open hands or closed fists which can hold the staffs either together or separate. 

Final Thoughts


Well I don't have the Zedas R but basically 3/4 isn't bad. As you see I have Zeheart's mobile suit trio and I must say they are splendid even more together than they are separate. At the end of the day I can't necessarily recommend the Ghirarga. It has an optional full burst mode which I think sucks. Its flimsy and it doesn't really hold well. Plus unfortunately there is also that annoying take off the tail and use it as a weapon gimmick. It's nice but I wish they would just include beam sabers instead. It wouldn't kill ya Bandai. However if you have an action base and can ignore the flimsy clear green pieces it makes for a great addition. It does have that nice sleek touch to it like I said before which makes it appealing. In this case however the build was more fun than the results were. I wish Bandai could have offered a better burst mode optional feature than what it did with it. It's a model that needs more justice than it gets.

Details/Proportions




So basically its the pirate version of the G-Exes. Nothing really different. Just different color scheme, head, and shoulders. Plus a rifle with dagger option and yellow sensors instead of green. However it looks badass. Definitely awesome in terms of that department. As for everything else pretty much yeah same thing as G-Exes so there isn't something I can say there. 

Articulation


Awesome articulation. I love the knee separation that's awesome considering its a HG. Gorgeous model.

Weapons/Accessories


Standard weapons really. Just same things from the G-Exes except this one has a cool dagger for a bonus. Plus a open left hand so cool even further to give it extra poses. If your badass you gotta have the badass weapon and in this case its the dagger. Also whats even more awesome is if you want to just have a different color scheme version of the G-Exes it comes with the head and shoulder parts so you have an option of the Jackedge or just the G-Exes re-color. 

Final Thoughts


For my final words what can I say? You gotta get the G-Exes and the other 2 models from Wolf's trio but the Jackedge is something you can't pass up if your looking for badass models from the Age line. It is definitely an awesome model. It has nothing to do with it but I can pop off the dark navy armor piece on the open left hand and pop the green hand cover so I can put it on the Shaldoll when I am not using it for the Jackedge. Pretty much a cool bonus since like I mentioned in the previous video I wasn't lucky enough to get a proper one from the packaging. It happens though its not the provider that problem had to do with the packaging. It's pinky was missing XD Anyways I definitely recommend this guy he is BADASS!

Details/Proportions








This is my first actual grunt suit and I must say I love it. The detail is again top notch. When it comes to Age models I don't think there is any HG version that has detail flaws. It truly is a great line. Unique design and concept overall to I might add its very unique and its so plain that it is incredibly custom friendly. By that I mean customize it any way you want.

Articulation


The articulation is splendid on this. I mean its amazing on all the AGE HG models but man I see nothing to complain about. Just look at that knee separation. Show me a HGUC that can do that and I'll rest my case.

Weapons/Accessories



It comes with basic weaponry. Shield, rifle, and also one beam saber hilt which is located on the back. I personally love that feature about the backpack. It also comes with a open left hand which I happened to be lucky enough to get a broken one in the box so I don't have one. The rifle also has like a take apart feature. You can pop the front off and turn it. 

Final Thoughts


For my final thoughts I would like to keep it simple. It is basically in short words simple. Nothing about it screams instant buy however if you really are into dynamic posing and customizing that can be said differently. It really is a plain model and it depends on the person if its great or not. Personally I love and enjoy mine. I might not have mentioned it but it also comes with optional parts. Instead of those few white pieces you can turn it completely green for the chest. A final note though the G-Exes wasn't made from scratch completely. It was customized from the base mobile suit Shaldoll. Here we have the Shaldoll custom but when the G-Exes was made it used the normal Shaldoll as a base for the designs. My final word is that I recommend it to those who are looking for more than just a fun build. What you get after you build it is more important and also its plain like vanilla it has a nice touch to it.
