AG Gundam AGE-3 Normal - Action Pose (1/3)

Action pose

Together with the AG AGE-1 and AGE-2 Normal.

Together with the HG Gundam AGE-3 Normal. The HG is noticeably bigger and bulkier.

The AGE saga's evolution continues — the AGE-3 Normal, the third main Gundam in the series, has now been released as an AG kit. It's a pretty eye-catching unit with those double-winged shoulders that bring ZZ Gundam to mind.

The basic concept and layout follow the standard AG series formula, though next to the HG AGE-3 Normal it does feel a bit on the small side. The overall color separation on the body isn't too bad, but the Core Fighter on the backpack has basically no color separation to speak of. On top of that, the Core Fighter is noticeably smaller compared to the HG version, which makes the gap between the two kits feel even wider.

Aside from the fairly significant gap in visual quality compared to the HG, this is just your typical AG kit — and the appeal really comes down to being able to quickly put together the main protagonist's Gundam in a simple, casual build. :-)
