The rifles, as mentioned previously, are designed to attach to each other and work quite well, however the width of the hands can cause problems. I actually found it easier to position the wings with the backpack detached but it annoyed me that it would come off so easily.Īnother cause of annoyance, trying to get the combined rifle pose. You’ll find yourself moving your fingers into crazy positions trying to get the wing arms and wings to do exactly what you want and while that’s happening, pop, the backpack can detach. However, that backpack can come off quite easily while you’re trying to position the Wings. The backpack (basically the wing unit) works fantastically and you are able to put those wings almost wherever you may want them.

Still, don’t let that put you off from putting that range of articulation to use.

It moves slightly so if you’ve got your knee bent at a large angle the kneecap can only do so much. You can bend his knees past 90 degrees and the knee cap can move independently so you can cover up the area exposed when the knee is flexed. But once you start manipulating the Wing arms then you’ll find you can do almost anything with these wings.Īnd if you’re careful with your wing positioning you can get this guy standing in some cool poses. They open up, albeit a limited amount, into three sections at the top and the feathers can move laterally but you won’t really get them pointing up or down. The big wings, however, well they definitely caused a stir. The rear wings have one section that can open up. I think what everyone is most interested in is the wings and their movement so allow me to show you the articulation of the wings. I’m not even sure why they do that, but they do. Before I put them on I’ll use this chance to show the extra movement of the shoulders. Sure he’s super flexible with no Wings attached. For now, I’ll mention that the handles of the rifles can be stored in the body and leave it at that. This caused me a bit of problems, but I’ll write about this in the Build Design section. Notice in the picture how the hands get in the way. When you connect the bodies of the rifles you also connect the two flaps. While the other has a spot to receive them. This is the simplest way to use the rifles.īut in this case the tougher way is definitely cooler. If kept apart you simply flip over the piece that acts as a connector. The rifles can be used singly or be combined into a rather giant weapon. With the beam sabre handles stored the movement of those back wings are not hindered at all. You get two beam sabres and the sabre handles, of course, and those handle store, quite niftily (that’s a mom word, I think) on the arms of the rear wings. The included weapons may look a little sparse but even though you’ve only got two rifles, they are quite large and can combine. The two tone white that we’ve (just me?) have come to love is present in the RG Wing, too. The effect is subtle but most noticeable in the chest vent area. The RG version of the EW does have all that blue but this time there are two shades of it and it does definitely add to the eye-pleasing effect this kit produces.

It’s Christmas for you guys, too!īack in my review of the MG Wing kits I gave the Wing Gundam Zero EW an 8 in the colour category because I felt that maybe there could have been more yellow used and much of the detail gets lost in all that blue. Some people on Facebook did ask about a size comparison. Though, when standing, it does look a little restrained. This Mobile Suit, perhaps more than any other, feels like it has a soul. The combination of giant robot and seraphim makes for a majestic presence and really captures the imagination. Wing Gundam Zero EW has always look great. And now that it’s finished what do I think? Read on, Gunplars. By now I’m sure most everyone who comes to this site regularly knows of my affinity for the Real Grade line so it should go without saying how excited I was to be jumping into this kit. Not only did I get to build a PG Unicorn a couple of weeks before release but I was also handed the RG Wing Gundam Zero EW just a few days before it hit store shelves. After a less than stellar (far less) 2013, 2014 has been very good to me and December especially sweet from a model perspective.
