Gundam Xi complete per @ask-the-toy-box ‘s request. This version of the Xi Gundam was featured in the Netflix exclusive Gundam film Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway (Hathaway’s Flash in Japan) based upon the novel trilogy of Hathaway’s Flash. The big difference between this version and the version in the novels is that the novel version has a red and blue colored chest.
This is a beefy kit that looks really cool but is let down by the lack of articulation. The ways in which I articulated it here in these photos is about the limits of its articulation. Not sure why Hathaway Noa would get a mobile suit that can only turn its waist about 20 degrees.
Size comparison time! All size comparisons use the same 1/144 scale. Here it is with the OG RX78-2:
Here it is with the Nu Gundam:
And here it is with the Unicorn:
Do not zoom in too much on the Unicorn. It was one of my earliest kits and I made almost every first timer mistake with it.
I also tired my hand at painting details in by painting the thrusters red for accuracy.
Now, should you buy this kit? Maybe. If you really think it’s cool and really want it on your self go ahead, but the price tag is ridiculous for what the kit can actually do. I got mine for 40% at Hobby Lobby and even then felt like I overpaid when I built the kit and tried posing it. Maybe I’ll change my mind when the other two movies come out if they are good enough to create an emotional attachment with the suit.
