1/100 RGM-88X Jieda

The balance between close-range and mid-range combat poses is spot on—I can switch from a shield block to a rifle raise without the joints loosening up. Panel lines are crisp enough that even my shaky panel lining looks clean. Definitely worth the build time for a prototype suit that feels this soli

The articulation on this kit is fantastic for a prototype unit—the close-combat posing feels fluid right out of the box. Snapped it up in an evening and the balance at 1/100 scale is spot on, no leaning issues even with the shield arm fully extended.

Build itself is clean and the 1/100 scale feels substantial once it's on the shelf, though the close-combat focus means the mid-range weapons feel like an afterthought. Definitely a solid weekend project for anyone who likes a more compact, agile silhouette.
