This is the old-release 1/144 Devil Gundam from the G Gundam series, and it's a kit that's on a completely different visual level compared to its predecessors. It's 1/144 scale, yet it's actually bigger than your average 1/100 kit — which is why the box is much larger too, and it came out at ¥1000, double the price of the earlier kits in the line.

Probably thanks to its size, the color separation is pretty solid, so even just a straight build gives you a big, vibrant, eye-catching display. Judging articulation is a bit tricky given the nature of the design, but even just spreading the limbs out a little gives you a unique, imposing display piece.

It also features a simple transformation into a Mobile Armor shaped like a Gundam face, and the joint strength throughout is nice and firm, so everything holds together well — which is a big plus.

The Devil Gundam is really a kit where the visual design itself is the main appeal, and it honestly doesn't feel all that dated, so even building it now is a genuinely fun experience. It's definitely one seriously unique Gunpla. :-)
