BANDAIHobby HG IBO 1/144 Barbatos Form 6 "Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans Action Figure

I've been watching the Anime - Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans - which anyone buying this obviously knows this is the Gundam from this series. While watching it I really liked the design of this Gundam and i had to get it.The model itself was easy to build and i recommend it to any skill level. The model was a little tricky to pose but definitely for a HG it poses quite well. I am kind of new to this myself actually and i really enjoyed building this and managed to get it together in about 3hours (not counting breaks). Take your time and enjoy the build. The model doesn't require glue; although if you want to pose it in a very fancy pose you may need to reinforce it with glue. It doesn't require paint(i didn't use paint) but for some missing detail i recommend you take out some paint if you have it around to touch it up.One thing i wanna add and I would honestly recommend the seller to add more photos to help sales; this model comes with customization. You can change out the feet,shoulders and chest. (Ill provide pictures.) I didn't change out the feet but there is alternates for the feet as well if you don't like the "high heels" look.Anyways in summary its a very quick but nice build, it provides nice customization for a HG and doesn't require glue or paint although paint is recommended for missing detail. It also provides nice ability to pose for a HG. Recommend. Have a nice day everyone.

This Barabotos kit features a multitude of extra parts for customization, and allows for great poses and configuration as you please. I highly recommend picking this kit up while you can, it's great to build and looks amazing as a part of an IBO Gunpla collection.

What's there to say? Smile&fun Japan got me the kit early by a few days but package arrived in perfect shape. Build is fun, easy and comes with a lot of option parts, the only downside to the kit is the huge sticker sheet. That's really the only downside so if you like the design this is a good build.

It's of good quality with plenty of parts, and needs minor changes to be anime accurate, a straight build turns out okay but it's definitely lacking if you just do that, this gunpla has few spots for panel lines but plent of spots that need to be painted, mainly on the backpack, weapon, head and lower body, articulation is the same as the other Barbatos with none of the new parts really getting in the way, it also comes with parts for afew different forms, but to build all of them you'll need to buy at least two other kits, it's a good model that is spot on with proportions, however you'll need to paint things here and there, for the price it's very good.

I just wanted to point out that this kit comes with several variations besides just the 6th form! That alone makes it a fantastic value for the price, see my photo for more details of the overall quality. This is how it looks after you put it together!

This is my first Gundam from the series Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans and it's definitely the first gunpla of the series that encouraged me to persue for the other Gundams in the series. Though bulky looking, the 6th form of Gundam Barbatos is actually a solid build compared to its initial form that has issues with some of its parts falling off. The painting and sculpting of this figure is great, the big Dino like weapon is a bit too heavy and you'll have to use both hands of the Barbatos to keep it stable which result in a timely posed Barbatos preparing for defense countermeasures. I don't use stickers but this gunpla becomes decent when it comes to painting. Hence it should be on your wishlist by now.

{Pros}Fun to buildCheatGreat for beginners yet still a challengeGood quality{Cons}The mace saw likes to break the hands offThe arm looks super tiny. IMO

One of the better 1/144 Gundams I ever made, fairly easy to build but with great articulation for a 1/144. It strays away from the traditiona Gundam from U.C. timeline but I enjoyed the anime and a new different design is always fun. I gave it a 5 star because I also bought the 1/144 Barbatos but this 1/144 Barbatos Form 6 gives you all the options of this plus some.-Recreational builder and been making Gundam for 2.5 decades from AG to MG and other.
