[GUNPLA IS FREEDOM CAMPAIGN] HG 1/144 scale Bandai Gundam Fenice Review


One of my first Gunpla kit is from Gundam Build Fighters (GBF) series. It is a High Grade (HG) 1/144 scale Wing Gundam Fenice. Bought it at Toy Kingdom (TK) Department Store on one of the SM malls I used to go.

Wing Gundam Fenice unlike the original Wing Gundam from the Gundam Wing Series is non transformable. Yep the unit cannot switch to the so called bird mode or others call it mobile armor phase or as I say mode. The gunpla unit is made and piloted by Ricardo Fellini the Italian dandy a character from the Anime Gundam Build Fighters (GBF). Well if you have already watched the anime you'll know why Gundam Fenice looks damaged, with its broken V - fin and why It could not transform. And if you have not watched the Anime yet I highly suggest you start watching now, specially if you are on to gunpla building and of course "Gundams!".

HG 1/144 Wing Gundam Fenice with HG 1/144 Build Gundam Mk2Over all I'd say the kit itself is pretty decent, the already broken V- fins detail looks good. Its' weapon system comes with the beam mantle or what ever they call it because I totally forgot (the one hanging on its left arm), the buster rifle has another beam gun in it and can be separated (but not like the Wing Zero version), and an extra ordinary beam saber that can also be used as a beam gun. I placed little Feni-chan with my HG 1/144 Build Gundam Mk.II (also bandai) to have a stand off, well you decide if its good enough! Maybe on my next post it will be about the Build Gundam Mk.II so stay tuned!
