Got these two guys in the mail yesterday, in the middle of building ARW.

I'd kill for one.

Neat! You've built much gunpla before?

not much, just an RG Aile
These are my first HG kits

Cool. You'll find them much easier to build, I think.

Not much to say here

It's Lightning Gundam with a backpack.

Well short and simple to the point, I think he looks better and the backpack is more sturdy than his Mk. 1 backpack, and the connection port is easier to plug in as well.

You can also connect his backpack to his rifle for that one scene during the battle with SxDxG team.

Also note his backpack is heavier so a stand is a must, his legs just cannot stand up well with all the weight on the back I tried both of my Lightning's and it's their legs.

Holy crap that fight was AMAZING, it's refreshing to see Team Try Fighters actually struggle with an opponent it definitely makes the victory for this one feel earned.

The way the fight ended reminded me of the Amazing Kampher VS GM Sniper K9 fight from last season.

It really was downright beautiful to see the Tryon in full fighting form today. Loved it. The entire battle just felt so alive.

So I finished both my Star Winning Gundams, and well it was pretty cool.

SD - So I think he's really lacking here, If I had to choose? The 1st Winning Gundam was much better. The feet and legs of the Star Winning is just really weird and won't stable unless you have the backpack on. It also can't hold it's weapon in it's gun form due to the sheer size the weapon it self. As an SD, I very much prefer the 1st Winning Gundam. I mean the 1st Winning Gundam had better leg and feet articulation than the current Star Winning.

Real Mode/HG Size - Now this is where the kit really shines, Bandai really did the whole transformation done great. A few things might come off awkward here and there, but you gotta remember you can't expect crazy articulation since it's a transforming SD. Everything is really stable in this form which was to my surprise. Even the SD head in backpack form doesn't weigh it that much down. For the articulation it's as if Bandai saw the 1/144 No grade/1st grade kits and try to meet half way with a HG kit. It's not spectacular but it surely gets the job done.

Cons for both forms
- Sticker Heavy (it's an SD kit so you gotta expect a lot of stickers)
- The Gun is purely all grey and not anime accurate a lot
- Both backpack heavy, but not all to much.

Do you Love Fumina Hoshino? Is she your Waifu? Then get this kit. If you want another cool SD that can transform into a 1/144 scale gundam go with this kit. If you just want a SD kit alone? Pass and just buy the 1st winning Gundam.
