Metal Structure RX-93 Nu Gundam (AFTERMARKET RESTOCK)

Finally got this aftermarket restock and the die-cast frame gives it a satisfying heft that the standard plastic kits lack. Assembly was smooth and the detail on the armor panels is sharp.

Shelf wear on the box was honestly no big deal once I got it open—the metal frame on this restock feels rock solid and the signature delivery was handled smoothly. It took me a weekend to build, and the articulation on the joints is a huge step up from the plastic kits I've done before.

I was a little worried about the box wear, but the parts are all pristine and the die-cast joints feel incredibly solid. The metallic finish on the armor panels looks even better in person than in the photos. Definitely worth the wait for this restock.
