Bandai Hobby Hi-Resolution Model 1/100 Wing Gundam Zero EW Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz Model Kit Figure

This new "Hi-Resolution Model" series of the Wing Gundam Zero EW is the most insane Wing Gundam Zero to ever be created. It's an extreme redesign of the GOL version of the mobile suit, having two more wings, as well as including the Neo-Bird mode transformation, shield, and ZERO System transformation from the manga. Painting and detailing is not required, and assembly is relatively simple and straightforward. This model kit is great for amateur and seasoned gunpla builders alike, giving you a new model kit to proudly display in your collection.This model kit, of course, is not without its faults. While it definitely looks better than any other model kit series on the market, there are some loose parts due to the complexity of Wing Zero. You may find posing to be problematic if you do not resort to gluing some pieces. Some also will not appreciate the fact that the internal frame is already pre-built (also made in China), but I find this to be nitpicky. This is not meant to be an action figure. It's a model that's meant to be seen, and it does what it's made for incredibly well.The price tag might seem a bit high, but if you are a huge Wing fan and love this new reinterpretation of Wing Zero EW, do yourself a favor and pick it up. I'll provide pics at some point in the future.

Really nice model. Some parts on the wings tend to dislodge a fall off, but is OK if you dont mess with it too much. Details are amazing.

This thing is horrible everything falls off and many things don’t fit as they should. Impossible to pose unless you glue much of it but will never be able to change it. You might as well look at the pictures and a huge one no no for me, No stand this thing has so many moving parts you will never get it perfect. Horrible model kit. Not worth the money. Looks nice though.

Definitely not a beginner build. My 7th gunpla and was not hard, but wasnt super easy. Love it though, it adds a very nice look to my gunpla collection

I rarely put a review online like this. But Bandai hurts me on this model kit lol. Like the designs, instructions are clear BUT most of the parts are VERY fragile and it WILL break if you aren't careful. The parts loosely connect to one another...And it impossible to get it into certain poses....And it costed over 200 US Dollars. This is sad!!!Common Bandai...

I liked that it is how it is described and packaged good, and that it has a metal skeleton

First of all: Wow. Just wow. This product has a phenomenal look to it! It's size and frame are comparable to the Master Grade version of the product, but the details in the design put its visual appeal well beyond its counterparts. And the addition of the shield and Bird Mode design add even more dimension to the suit! However, for all of it's appeal, it does have some challenges. I'll start with those.Challenges-Armor: there are a number of fixtures that tend to fall off of the frame. This is a common gripe among reviewers, but everyone's model seems to have different pieces that fall off. The product that I have didn't seem to have as many problems as others, but I still decided to use small amounts of super glue to keep pieces in tact.-Grip: another common problem with the product is that the grip isn't strong enough to support the beam cannon. It's another problem that could be fixed with some super glue, but this fix would mean that whatever pose you chose would have either no hands or use the cannons exclusively.-Frame: already assembled. I personally would have liked to have a go at assembling it, but I've built dozens of of MG models.-Articulation: the number of points of articulation, coupled with the tendency for things to fall off of it, makes it more difficult than MG models to pose. It requires a significant amount of patience to pose. In short, it's more model than action figure.Strengths-Articulation: absolutely unmatched! No other model has nearly as many points of articulation, and the joints are very stable (not too loose). Each joint features multiple hinges and pivots to more closely mirror human flexibility. Again, it requires patience to use well, since parts have a tendency to fall off.-Frame: already assembled. And for as many points of articulation that it has, it may be for the best to make it less complicated. Not to worry, there are still plenty of parts to build!-Details: it has an amazing sense of detail. Many extra textures are added into the design in the molding of the parts. The colors used in the moldings (pearl in the white complimented by light grays and metallic gold) add even more dimension! All of this without even one sticker or decal (decide for yourself if that's a strength or weakness, but dealing with them has always been a nuisance to me)! It doesn't require paint, however, its application can add even more dimension.Design: slightly different from the details, they finally added a much-needed bird mode to the design which doesn't offend the sense of design already established by the Gundam Wing franchise. It also adds a place on its person to store the beam cannon.All together, I greatly enjoyed this build! But I was well advised to practice patience and adaptability for this one. Its a fantastic series, and I look forward to more of the same, but it still has room to grow.

I would say wing Gundam skeleton design is better than Barbatos. But I would say this model kit really with a little metal part, it is more like plastic skeleton.
