HGWFM 03 Gundam Aerial

The way the shield splits into 11 separate parts and clips onto the limbs is way more fun than I expected for a standard HG. Poseability is solid and the panel lines are crisp, so it looks great right out of the box.

Sitting it on my desk with the shield pieces attached to the shoulders and legs really sells the Witch from Mercury look, the panel lines are crisp and the joints hold poses well. Only took about two hours to snap together and it feels surprisingly solid for a High Grade.

The way the shield breaks into 11 pieces and snaps onto different parts of the body is way more fun than I expected—I've spent an hour just reconfiguring it. Build took about two evenings, and the joints feel sturdy enough to pose without falling apart.
