Bandai 1/100 MGEX Unicorn Gundam Ver Ka
The model kit was really nice the one issue I had is that the right arm was a bit too loose for liking
Great price for a great pair of tweezers.
The Bandai 1/144 HGBF R-Gyagya is a standout model in the Gundam Build Fighters series, offering an exceptional redesign of the classic Gyan. This model merges the best features of the Gyan and R-Jarja, resulting in a Gunpla that’s truly remarkable.
The R-Gyagya is renowned for its dynamic poseability, thanks to each joint that moves flexibly, allowing you to recreate dramatic scenes from the anime. The model’s distinctive circular shields are not just visually appealing but also functional, featuring articulated arms for varied posing options. These shields can be attached to the forearms with connecting parts, adding to the versatility of the model. Additionally, the kit comes with beam effect parts that can be mounted on the top and sides of the shields, enhancing its combat-ready appearance.
The weapon arsenal includes a beam saber, twin beam swords, and gatling guns, providing numerous display options. With 9 runners, a foil sticker, and an instruction manual, the R-Gyagya kit is a delightful build for both beginners and seasoned modelers

Read MoreGunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.
Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Gundam series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Gundam kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.
Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.
"Gundam Build Fighters" is set in a world where Gunpla battling has become a globally celebrated sport. Unlike traditional Gundam series focused on war and politics, "Build Fighters" centers on friendly competitions, creativity in Gunpla design, and the bond between builders and their creations.
The series follows Sei Iori, a skilled Gunpla builder, and Reiji, a mysterious ally. Together, they participate in the World Tournament with Sei's custom-built Gunpla, aiming for the title of world champion while forging bonds with fellow competitors.
In the "Build Fighters" world, participants use a Plavsky Particle System to animate their Gunpla, enabling them to engage in combat. The battles test both the quality of the model's construction and the builder's strategy, reflecting real-world model-building precision and imaginative play.
While many suits are reimagined versions of iconic models from various Gundam series, there are standout originals like the Build Strike Gundam (Sei's primary Gunpla) and the Star Build Strike Gundam, recognized for their unique modifications and combat capabilities.
"Build Fighters" brings a refreshing spin, spotlighting the fandom's love for Gunpla building. It emphasizes camaraderie, creativity, and the joy of sharing a hobby, making it a heartwarming addition to the Gundam franchise, especially for model enthusiasts.
