Picture Review

Honestly I am surprised this is a HG. It's so skinny and slim. It's not bad but the flower bit effect holders could have been better. Hard to pose. Not that good honestly now that I look back. I wanted it because I thought it was worth it. It comes with the stand and the effects so honestly model wise it should have been worth it. Not the case however unfortunately. Choice is yours if you want it but I think you would be better off Knight Gundam SD. lol

The overall most overpowering mobile suit and Gundam in the Age series. 

Details

The detail put into this model is superb. It is the most dramatic change in design in the Age series. The only one that looks unique and has it's own statement and identity. Like it or not the other mobile suit designs were similar to another mobile suit from a different series whether it be small or big of a similarity. This one looks like the Quan[T] somewhat but it is still unique and I very much like its detail. It did require a lot of stickers and I am not at a level yet where I can apply them good enough so when I applied my stickers I damaged some here and there. That does not halt this models beauty however.

Proportion

The proportion is good in a way but the only problem I see is the waist and head. The waist is too inverted it looks awkward when you focus there. However the head may look nice but it is dramatically the opposite. It is quite small and it doesn't give credit to the amazing design put into the face. 

Articulation

The arm doesn't completely have a 180 bend but if you modify the arm slightly then you could get a perfect 180 degree angle. I personally see no problem. The legs also have 180 articulation however you need to move it slightly outside then bend it up enough to touch its back because the side skirt gets in the way otherwise. 

Weapons

This model is very well equipped. It comes with a rifle which has add-on parts to make it a bazooka. If that isn't enough it comes in funnels as well along with a display piece to do some epic posing. Great weapon options overall the only problem is if you equip the c funnels onto the model some fall of and get loose so be careful. 

Accessories

This is a special model. It not only comes in a stand but a display stand in the back for the funnels. Which is awesome. It also comes in 2 closed fists, 2 open fists, and one open hand for the left. If you have Age-3's and other models you might be able to swap hands and have more options. I haven't done it yet but I might. The stand is somewhat annoying though. You need to place it in an appropriate surface otherwise the FX is gonna fall on its face because the stand cant stay up. (Yeah I know wtf right)

Comparison

The Age system in the anime was based on an evolution system. It collected battle data and evolved the Gundams accordingly up to the final design of the FX. So it is understandable that the FX has similarities between the Age-3's. The Age-3's were before the FX. Personally I think the FX took the best looks and gimmicks from all of the Age Gundams and made an epic uber Gundam that can be a killing machine.

Conclusion

GET IT! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
