Kit Review
Straight build
+ panel lining + seals & decals
Size comparison with a cigarette pack.
Same 1/100 scale as MG.
Upper body.
The panel lines and seals/decals are almost identical to the 30th Anniversary RG.
Head
Arm section
Back and backpack section
The shield has no seals or decals at all, so it looks a bit bare.
Legs
Metal frame on the feet and joint areas
Cockpit hatch open.
Outer armor removed
Inner frame shots
Upper body, head, and backpack frame.
No metal parts except for the chest duct.
Back view
The right side shows it with the backpack frame removed.
Arm frame.
Only the forearm section is metal.
Hip joint and thigh frame
Leg frame
The metal frame on the knees and lower legs looks the best, I'd say.
The weapons are the typical standard First armament set.
There are 2 sets of hands in total — fists and weapon-holding hands.
The pegs on the palm lock into holes on the weapon,
and the fit is really solid.
Since there's only one weapon-holding hand, you have to hold the beam saber with the rifle-grip hand.
The index finger sticks up a bit, which looks a little awkward;
Included dedicated stand
The front part is a phone holder.
There's a slot at the arrow position so you can run a charging cable through.
I tried putting my phone on it, but as expected, the form factor is different so it doesn't stay in place. ^^;
This phone holder section can be detached separately.
The stand with the holder removed
The post can be adjusted to 4 different angles and is also removable.
The foot peg slides forward and backward.
The base of the stand has a somewhat curious design...
As you can see, it's cleverly designed to store various accessories like the post, beam sabers, hands, and foot pegs
— quite a clever design.
Articulation that's not exceptional, but relatively good.
The range of motion for the waist and shoulders front-to-back isn't all that wide.

A new 1/100 design following the MG First 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and MG Gundam Ver. O.Y.W. 0079.
The heavy use of panel lines does make it look somewhat similar to the MG Gundam Ver. O.Y.W. 0079.
Together with the HG 30th Anniversary and RG First.
It shares the same 30th Anniversary commemorative design as these kits.
Compared to the HG 30th Anniversary Gundam, the proportions and panel lines are almost perfectly identical.
Compared to the RG First, not only is the panel line layout nearly the same,
but the seals/decals are almost identical too.
It shares the same design concept as the Mega Size First that also came out in the 30th Anniversary style.
