This kit is the 1/144 Blue Gale Xabungle Set 2, a repackage of the old-release Xabungle kits. It bundles four vintage kits together — the Iron Gear, Government Type, Dugger Type, and Galapagos Type. 1/144 Blue Gale Xabungle Set 1Following that set, this is a revival of kits that originally came out over 40 years ago, so the overall quality is exactly what you'd expect from those vintage releases — charmingly old-school.

True to its vintage roots, all parts except the articulated sections need to be glued together, and without polycaps the joints don't feel particularly great. Joint strength is generally not bad, but some joints are loose and can make posing tricky. This is less a design flaw and more just a common symptom of old-tooling vintage kits, so it's kind of unavoidable. That said, the Xabungle vintage series does have some color separation built in, so the straight build look isn't all that bad, relatively speaking.

You can get a good look at the basic articulation and external details through the photo review above — but as you can see, being a vintage kit, there isn't a whole lot to dig into. The articulation is limited and the proportions are old-school, but there's a certain charm to these vintage kits that's hard to deny.

So yes, this is a straightforward vintage repackage bundle, but being old-school kits, you do get a surprisingly generous amount of content for the price. For longtime fans who remember Xabungle, this should make for a great little nostalgia trip. :-)
