Bandai Hobby - Gundam Wing - #38 Gundam Epyon, Bandai Spirits RG 1/144 Model Kit

This kit felt great to build, not too difficult and came out looking great. The transformation is simple and doesn't compromise the rest of the model kit like the RG Zeta Gundam. The kit looks slightly different from the anime, but the changes look good (little dragon mouths on the feet that can open when in flight mode, slightly different wings, etc.) Great color separation too. The heat whip of the kit also comes as one pre-molded piece which makes it so that you don't have to tediously assemble each section of the whip, makes the whip feel stronger, and easy to set in dynamic poses by rotating pieces of the whip. Accessory-wise the kit only comes with a beam saber, shield, and heat whip; but that's because the Epyon didn't really use anything else so it wouldn't make sense to include a rifle or other handheld weapon. Comes with a large sticker sheet for adding additional superfluous details, although the piece for the eyes is color correct which allows you to skip applying those annoying eye stickers if you choose which is a nice bonus.

Hands down the best RG yet. Build is fantastic and not too difficult, but results in an amazing looking model. Color separation is superb, and light piping on the transparent green used for the eyes and cameras on the head is fantastic. Just an amazing kit.

I purchased this model for myself with some of my reward points after Xmas shopping. My son and I have put together some of the larger Gundam models and I enjoy trying to puzzle out the Japanese instructions.Ease of Use: 3/5 The directions to assemble this are in Japanese, if you can't read Japanese please understand you will need to look at the pictures and just figure it out. (I enjoy that part personally). Also, this is a medium sized model, some of the parts are VERY tiny. If you are a middle aged boomer, like myself, you may end up with a small migraine from trying to focus on the tiny parts.Quality: 5/5 everything came in perfect condition, including the box. I've ordered models in the past where the box came damaged.Appearance: 5/5 This model is badass...enough said.Value for the Money: 5/5 it took me about 4 hours to fully assemble the model (again, I'm a boomer with pretty bad eye sight). Dollar per entertainment hour makes this an exceptional value!

Great build quality, fantastic surface detail and color separation. Holds poses like a champ and holds its weapon perfectly. Easily one of the best kits and my collection and one of my favorite builds.

RG Epyon is beyond any doubt a top of the line gunpla kit. Aesthetically, color separation is on point, it's overall looks are simply fantastic and has some of the best light piping yet in gunpla. The build its also a lot of fun, though some small pieces may be a little tough to deal with for beginners. Articulation is great, not only is it highly posable but the build is sturdy as a rock. Just a great kill all around.

Amazing kit, bandai has made a streak of amazing rg's and the epyon is no exception.

Very unique design that isn't too complicated to build.

It was easy to build everything just snapped together in a good way it did take me 2 days to build
