RG release day is always an exciting day. Today, we’re blessed with the RG Force Impulse Gundam! There are a whole lot of details, parts, and… stickers 🙁 to unbox here, so let’s get to it.
The Box
Lots and lots of product highlights. At first glance you can see a view of the inner frame, snapshots of some of the gimmicks, effect parts, and more.
Here’s a closer look at that.
And the other side of the box, showcasing the frame, joints, and more.
One last panel — this one shows you some of the cool poses you can get out of this guy — and how great he’ll look with nothin’ but some panel lining!

Here’s the beautifully-illustrated manual, with a shot of its comprehensive “decal” guide (they’re stickers).

I was already impressed with the plastic and build quality of the RG Quanta, that was even before they started introducing these more stable inner frames. I am so glad that RG kits now come with pre-posed hands instead of those articulated ones as those had very weak and flimsy connections. Also those massive runner walls on the F2 and H runner parts are is just hilarious, and yet could be useful for someone who needs plastic for custom parts.
The Impulse Gundam looks like a must have for anyone who like Gundam Seed mobile suit designs.

I don’t stray from UC stuff very often, but this looks too good to pass up!

too many stickers D: … but the gundam looks so good it’s worth the effort.
