Hello Gunpla Fans, Today I’m going to do a review on the 1/144 scaled Graze Ein from the anime Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans. Straight out of the box you will receive a total of 7 Runners, 1 Set of Polycaps, 1 Sheet sticker and an Instruction Manual. Building this kit is quite straight forward and a rather simple build, nothing that will intimidate a beginner.

Putting everything on would be something like this.

this is what the kit would look like before putting it together.

First impression on this kit was fantastic, the color, the proportion and the size it’s pretty much anime accurate. Taking pic from the bottom angle make this kit looks damn menacing all over. The articulation for this kit though,

Well he is doing not bad, arms articulation is great, there is even 2 different joints on the lower arm which can make the wrist go upwards and downwards. The Waist can turn 360 degree no problem as there is nothing hindering the waist. The legs.. can do a slight split not much as most of the IBO kits, Sadly he can’t do the gundam squat..

For accessories, We are given..

2 different pair of hands, Holding hands and Close palm hands.

2 Large Axe.

2 Drill leg.

And lastly 2 side guns? well whatever it’s called xD.

There is a few gimmick for this kit, I will begin with the backpack, It is shown in the manual that the 2 Large Axe are stored behind them.

And you can actually bring the backpack up to let it hold the weapons in hand.

Cool huh?

And now for the next gimmick, the hands nail hammer or something like that,

And the next would be the shoulder guns. You just have to open up the shoulder and put in the gun.

I would be so much happier if the guns can be store inside the shoulder instead of snapping it on the shoulder. I mean seriously, Bandai can make Gusion Rebake’s hand inside the backpack but they can”t make a gun that sticks out from the shoulder? like really?

Owh BTW, did I tell you his head can transform?

Like most graze, his head can open up to show the inner camera thingy. but his version is so much more dope, from antenna to a freaking horns~! gives a devilish menacing looks all over.

And lastly the drill legs,

I talk too much, I ask for too much but damn I wish I can see that drill leg spin xD.

Now finally posing this gunpla,

Though I didn’t do any poses with an action base, but look at how he grab Ryuseigo in the head, it’s a total win! He can actually grab him!

That’s pretty much it for today’s review, note this review is based on my own personal preference.
