Arios + GN Archer combined

This kit is the HG Arios Gundam & GN Archer Clear Color ver. combined set, released as a Gundam Expo 2009 exclusive. It's one of the paired clear kits released alongside the HG 00 Raiser + Cherudim Gundam clear set and the HG Seravee + Seraphim clear set.

The quality is on par with your typical HG clear color kits, and the clear orange and red colors came out really nicely with a soft, luminous look. ^^ Sure, cleaning up gate marks is a bit of a pain with clear parts, but on the plus side the joints end up nice and tight, so posing and holding transformation forms is rock solid.

All in all, both the HG Arios and GN Archer are solid, well-executed kits at their core, and the clear versions carry that same clean quality. If you're a 00 fan, this is a pretty enjoyable limited edition to build. :-)
