Bandai Hobby HG G-Reco 1/144 Gaeon Model Kit

Had a blast with this, gave me something to do for about two weeks. (Took it nice and slow, was my first model in a long time) I really enjoyed the overall look of this gundam, the pack is hands down what makes it worth the money. If it were to lose that then you would have a pretty basic kit with little more than secondary hand and a beam rifle. The pack looks great and gives you the posing ability to make it stand out. With the price does come some minor draw backs. First you will need some gundam pens and some black paint to really make it pop. Second is the feet and torso are very limited with range of motion. And last is that weapons are very few besides the very neat pack which only has one draw back and that is the fingers do not move side to side.Overall very pleased with this purchase. If you put in a little time and paint you can make this thing look amazing.

This kit is a decent build with an outstanding gimmick. The big arm unit makes for some serious poseability and shelf presence, especially in aerial poses with the unit splayed out like wings. Biggest problem with the kit is the terrible seam lines on the arms. If you weld those seam lines be prepared for them to break once you try swapping out the hands. Painting or customizing this kit is a pain, but if you can endure it then the kit is well worth it

We all know why you bought this kit...The backpack! The kit itself has very decent articulation, but the "hand" backpack is the main show here. The backpack has great articulation for many poses. The Gaeon only comes with a beam rifle as a weapon, but the backpack also comes with 8 beam Saber effects that you can attach to the tip of the fingers.I'm not a fan of G-Reconguista, but some of the suits in the show are pretty neat looking. Would definitely recommend this one. Took me about 2 hours to build.

So this was my first G-Reco kit. I saw that it had some interesting parts, and I just had to try it out. The weaponry is limited to the extreme though, being that it has only the Big Hand beam equipment in the backpack, the beam rifle, and the plasma cannons on the head, but it does look pretty awesome.

I bought this for my girlfriend to get her into gundam and gunpla, and I must say, it was a very advance built for a first timer, but she did great, the model kit is a thing of beauty, so much movable parts, the poses we are pulling off are fun. This kit brings alot of beams.

My son loved it

Charming and a very fun build. Stickers were a bit tough in places but the struggle was forgotten in the beauty this thing is once finished.

Very nice set, but needs to come with a stand in order to display all the features well. Without a stand, it is very unbalanced and falls over easily.

Shoulder is a little loose (lots of stickers too), but otherwise an awesome figure.

Very fun gundam to build. the backpack is the best and differnet and unique

久々のガンプラでした。組み上げてみると関節等大分upgradeされていて驚きました。背面装備のビッグアームもよく動く設計になっていて組み甲斐もありたのしいものでした。ジャイオーン本体も写真のようにマッシブかと思われたのですが、組み上げたら意外と華奢だったので写真写りがよかったようです。。不満点・武装がビームライフルのみのところ。ビッグアーム用にサーベル群は用意されているのでまあ仕方ないのでしょうが、劇中になかった武装など（ビームサーベルの柄だけでも）あれば楽しかったかもしれません。・フロントスカートが独立させるとユルユル。　他のキットでもあるのですが、フロントスカートが２こイチになっているけど中央部を切断すると独立出来る仕様に　なってます。いつものように切断分離して腰パーツに組み込んだのですが・・・　ユルユルなフロントスカートになってました。ムリして独立させなければ問題ないと思いますが、　余計なことをしたなーとややガッカリしました。

完成させて手に取るとズッシリと重みがあります。立ち姿は威厳があり、まるでマントを羽織った王のようです。

個人的な不満点・最大の不満点「ビッグアームの可動」アームユニット自体はかなり動くが、指が開かず親指盾もモドカシイ・色分け。特に残念なのがアンテナと肩の薄色部分・腰の可動。前後左右に傾けるどころか捻る事すら難しい・専用ハンドなのに左手の持ち手や他バリエーションが無い個人的な満足感・近年の細いだけのプロポーションではなく、割としっかりとした雰囲気でカッコイイ・妥協せざるを得ない部分もあるが、全体的に躍動感のあるポージングが出来る（Gレコ機体はみんな癖がありつつも動きがあっていい）・パチパチ組みあがるパズル感。
