Gunpla 

Price : Usually around $12-16 in online stores. I bought it for around $20 in a local store.

Content :

6 runners,manual, and stickers. Not too much or too less for a HG

Runners A and B

PC,Runner C and D, and an ABS part for stand

Manual (Very helpful for pose guides and assembly)

Armaments and Pose Guide

Flashback (00 Gundam,Exia,00 Raiser)

Assembly :

Assembly is quite simple and doesn't take much time if you read the manual carefully. There are only 6 runners and there weren't much gimmick (Such as the Raphael's backpack or Harute's transformability), different from the other 00 movie gundams.

Weapons :

Although this kit features only 4 type of weapons : The GN Sword V, the GN Shield,  the sword bits, and the beam gun (Hidden near the shield), this kit's weapons can be converted to various mode thanks to the sword bits. If you still want more weapons, you may get the optional Full Saber pack.

The only flaw of the weapons is that the buster sword's weight is too much and often hard to be posed with.

GN Sword V Buster Mode

Kit in Action :

As you can see, because this kit's articulation is very great, it can be posed versatilely. Although so, the GN Buster Sword is rather heavy. Because of that, a support is somewhat needed.

GN Buster Sword Equipped

Pros :

• Easy Assembly
• Nice design and concept (Such as the Sword bits combining into larger weapons)
• Comes with a free stand
• Great articulation
• Decent Price (If you bought it on an online store that is)

Cons :

• Front hip piece and the head's clear parts can often fall off
• GN Buster Sword is too heavy

Conclusion :

Based on the previous pros and cons, i recommended this suits for beginners,Gundam 00 Fans, or others who just loved this suit's unique design. This kit can also be modified into all sorts of form, such as the armorless Quantum Burst Mode, the ELS equipped one, the Full Saber one, and many more.
