Bandai Hobby - Gundam Seed Eclipse - Eclipse Gundam, Bandai Spirits Hobby MG 1/100 Model Kit

Husband loved this gift. Great gift for anyone who likes to build and have “me time”. Takes time and focus but the end result is amazing!

Absolutely awesome Gundam

This was the first model I have ever assembled and was extremely beginner-friendly requiring no paint or glue. The instructions were very clear for the main model, though there were a lot of extra pieces for addons that were not included. This made it a little confusing, though that confusion was after I finished the main model (which the instructions made very clear was the end of the main model).The quality of the parts is fantastic for the price, and they include a lot of options for customizing the model. The model feels very sturdy and at no point did I feel like poor part quality would cause it to fall apart, though I did mess up a few cuts due to my general clumsiness and it being my first time making a model.Assembling the model felt very much like adult Legos and satisfied that same itch for me. I highly recommend this model to those just starting out. Do keep in mind you will need to purchase model pliers separately - these pliers will be reused on your next venture.

Almost everything about this kit is a winner. The aesthetic, the functionality of the weapons, and the build are all awesome, and if you haven't built this yet then do it ASAP. A MG kit that no Gunpla fan should miss out on.I did say "almost" everything, as there's one small flaw in the fact that this kit reuses some of the internal frame parts from the MG Freedom Gundam 2.0, and the hip parts in that kit are supposedly notorious for breaking unless you sand them down. I personally picked up a set of metal hip pieces for around 10 bucks and they worked flawlessly, so I'd recommend those.

Nice kit

good!

Bought this for my Grandson, he assembled it in roughly 8 or 10 hrs.It's not a big model at all, I was surprised actually of It's finished size.For the money you would think it would be twice It's assembled size.Be aware of the size.

I like this kit a lot. It's one of the best MG gunpla kit. There are just couple of minor issues that prevent it from being perfect.First, it reused too much parts from Strike MG, which is not an issue....except they include the entire runner instead of using about the 4-5 pieces. It's lazy and remember, they charge you for these extra parts not to mention it's bad for environment.Second, I dislike the transformation gimmick. It makes the kit very complex. There are many small parts in the body to make the transformation works. It means the kit is easier to break apart.Finally, the feet design is very ugly. The picture only shown the armor, but the the frame is not attached to the armor. The result feel like a skeleton feet with big shoe to cover it up....... Well, they designed the feet this way because of the transformation gimmick again.BUT overall, the MS form itself is great. I'd just suggest you either build it as MS or MA form. Don't do the transformation multiple times because it'll break eventually.
