Body and head. The defining feature is all those beam parts hanging all over the body.

Even the eye section is a separate clear part — nice color separation there.

AG Gundam AGE-FX - Legilis Rifle Firing Pose (1/3)

Legilis Rifle Firing Pose

Together with the previous kit, Gundam Legilis.

The Gundam AGE-FX — a uniquely designed mobile suit wrapped in bit weapons called C-Funnels all over its body — has been released in AG form. As you can see in the photos, it's decked out with 12 large and small clear parts all over the kit, giving it a really flashy, eye-catching look.

The basic kit construction is also a bit different from other AG kits — the way the frame and armor connect on the arms and legs is a little unusual, so there are no visible seam lines. On top of that, there are plenty of clear parts throughout, and even the eyes are separately inset as a clear piece, so the level of color separation is quite high. At a glance, it honestly looks as refined as an HG-class kit. ^^

That said, alongside all this unique kit design, there are a few downsides you won't find in other kits. The green clear parts don't hold on very securely and tend to pop off — especially the smaller C-Funnels, with the front skirt being particularly bad. Solid part retention used to be one of the big selling points of AG kits, so this is a bit of a letdown. On top of that, the leg spread is narrower and less natural than other AG kits, which makes the proportions feel a step down compared to previous releases.

Anyway, it's a shame that the added complexity has taken a bit of a toll on that sturdy AG feel, but as a really distinctive AG kit, if the style appeals to you, it's definitely one you can have a good time with. :-)
