Overall, a fantastic build from Bandai. It’s fascinating seeing the complexity of engineering that goes into the design of these kits, and how year by year, Bandai continues to find new ways to combine intricate detail and articulation, while remaining faithful to the designs of these Mobile Suits.

The Master Grade Gundam AGE 1 Normal can be purchased from several Online Stores:

Gundam Franchise to Launch Clothing Line

Bandai will launch an official clothing line based off in-universe clothing designs of the meta franchise, titled Strict-G, in specialty boutiques in Tokyo and Fukuoka starting this month.
