Together with the 1/144 Gundam Heavy Arms. The proportions have changed quite a bit, as you'd expect.

This kit is the 1/144 Gundam H-Arms Custom from the old Gundam W Endless Waltz series. Just like the Wing Zero Custom, the proportions are far more modern compared to the original 1/144 Heavy Arms, and on top of that it's got great articulation and solid joint strength — so the overall quality is right up there with HGUC level.

The Heavy Arms' signature weapon hatch open gimmicks are well reproduced too. The chest and shoulders open with a working mechanism, while the front/side skirts and the sides of the legs use a parts-swap approach instead. The fully open look is impressive enough, but the replacement parts for the skirts are pretty stiff, which makes swapping them a bit of a hassle.

That said, the sheer impact of the full hatch open look combined with the solid weapon stability makes this a really fun kit to pose. If you're into that all-weapons-blazing style, this is definitely one I'd recommend. :-)
