Bandai Hobby HGBF R-GyaGya Model Kit (1/144 Scale)

Straight from the Gundam Build Fighters anime comes the R Gya Gya which was nothing more than an elegant knight with many exquisite qualities. This Gundam consists of many weapons including a double bladed lance, a large beam saber, two giant chain guns that extend from the shoulders, and two giant shields also on her shoulders! I really to like the very nice looking knight look design which screams might and glory on my display stand. Unfortunetly, there are some cons with this set which include the inability to rotate the body which is nearly impossible to do, hard to hold the lance, cheap gold plastic (the typical gold you will find a Gundam 1/144 models like the Banshee Unicorn Gundam and the Gold Astray Gundam), and very few decals.Overall, the Gundam alone is very plentifull and is far larger than all of my current 1/144 grade Gundams including my Rick Doms and my Unicorn Banshee Norn and comes with tons of accessories that can be all put on the Gundam at one time and makes posing the figure something to really look forward to. I would argue all of the green translucent accessories make up for the lack of decals but I wish they added a few more decals like the orange on the legs or on the thrusters in the back so the Gundam would look more detailed by itself.Besides that I would highly suggest buying this Gundam if you do love its look since you will not be disappointed and will get a lot more than what you pay for by buying this set. Also I got this set in a week and a day from Toy Shop Japan Hobby One which was really awesome and they even threw in a little something extra which was really awesome so thanks (had to give em a shout out bought many Gundams from them and they never disappoint).

Great, unique kit that will not disappoint the build fighters fans. The unique look is great for diversifying any collection of gunpla. The base colors are perfect coming as a light grey, dark grey, and gold. Surprisingly sturdy for its design, and even better it can stand on its own without an action base.The gold runner looks fine from a far but as with any kit, to make it look like the stock photo's paint is needed. Honestly that's about all the paint you would need! the rest of the kit is well detailed for its grade. Model looks great with no paint, minimal paint makes it look amazing.A minus' though as purely in my opinion:The dual sided beam saber is a touch too long. In the pictures they show it standing perfect with this set up, one end on the ground, if you try this with your kit you will notice (at least on mine) the model has to hold it a bit up at a kind of weird angle to do this.

Great model kit for the price, and it looks solid on my shelf. I bought this a while ago for myself, and I am impressed. Though this is great, there are a few issues.PROS:Although Type V3 and Prime92 claim that the gold color on this kit isn't quite what they thought, I found it wasn't too terrible, and didn't feel the need to paint over the gold. The color separation is actually pretty amazing, and the grey works toward the "Knight Feel" well.I have to admit, when buying this kit, I was slightly skeptical about the green beam sabers. I mean, "green with gold and grey? Maybe a blue or yellow would be a little better, right?" And then it arrived. The green is brilliant and shimmering, and, despite my doubts, looks amazing with the kit. The effects pieces for the shields are great, as well.The Gatling gun tail pieces add to the tank-like look well, as well as the sword charging rack/sheath. I also have to say, the shoulder shields' ability to curl around the front does grant an amazing level of posability.CONS:This kit overall could have been a lot better done. For example, although the posability the shields on the shoulders brings is GREAT, I often find that in moving them, the entire shoulder will come off. The flimsy clips they give you are not enough to hold the shoulders in place well, and a dab of superglue may be helpful.Also, this kit is very topheavy (duh), and I feel as if they could have dealt with the issue a lot better. I am disappointed that the machine-gun cape/coat-tails cannot come up under the R-GyaGya's armpits, and that his arms must go up completely. This is a big downer for posing.In addition, the arms and legs often fall off when posing, giving a frustrating feel to the whole kit as it appears to fall apart in your hands.In conclusion, this kit overall is a fun, easy build that takes around 2-3 hours. It's quite the hassle to pose, but looks great when finished. None of the stickers are too hard to apply, and the beam-lance looks great. Paint and panel-lining would definitely make this kit pop, but even straight out of the box, it looks great.

I love the design but I didn't buy the kit so I could have this model, I bought it for parts for a custom im working on with the Gebera Tetra. But from what I know after dismantling the kit is that its big and detailed!! Sturdy and an awesome combo of kits. Don't be fooled as its not really based on the Gyan as many believe, its actually from Gundam ZZ. The GyaGya uses the AMX-104 R-Jarja as its base, don't believe me? Go look it up.My onl complaint about the kit is the gold plastic, the swirls in the plastic are hideous. Go look up the review by a youtuber called Type V3. He has a detailed video showing a panel lined kit and covers all points youll need to know for a basic buy.

For the price, I am genuinely impressed with the quality and overall look of the gundam. Easy to break off the holding plastic and even easier to assemble. Will definitely order again real soon.

I think it's an awesome model however the whole thing falls apart really easily. I've spent 3x as much time reconnecting the parts as I did building it. Getting it on an action base was a real challenge as well. All in all its a good get if you don't mind reconnecting the parts whenever you move or pose it.

I was pretty much interested in this gunpla, i love the way it looks even if the golden parts doesn't look...golden, with a paint job this can be majestic.
