HG 1/20 光武·改（真宮寺櫻機）

I have built a lot of small kits, but the engineering on this Kobu-Kai is really impressive for its size—the torso articulation is surprisingly smooth. The plastic feels high-quality, and the panel lining pops nicely to show off the design from the game.

The joint design is surprisingly solid for a 1/20 scale kit. It balances well even with the large hair piece and cape, which makes dynamic poses surprisingly stable for the price point.

Was so excited to see this kit actually capture Shinguji’s look from Sakura Wars 2 perfectly—the panel lines on the armor are crisp and the included decals really pop. Assembly took about two hours, and every piece fit snugly without needing glue. A must-have for any classic mecha fan.
