![]() The forearm's extra swivel joint is an articulation point not commonly seen on other High Grade kits, but it's going to be mighty helpful for Mr. ^^Īpart from the size and look, the articulation design of this model kit is very impressive as well. The combination of the horns, quadruple eyes and spikes on its chin give it a really fierce look, which is a feature I prefer on my model kits. The design grew on me after a while, and together with the thruster blocks, I can definitely see how the horns fit in with Samurai warrior motif of this Ahead variation, which of course supports the pilot's character design as well. ![]() I didn't quite like this design feature the first time I saw it, as I felt the horns seem out of place on the overall MS design. ^^ For that matter, I certainly like the "ox horns" behind the model kit's head as well. As mentioned in Part 1, they look like banners carried by Samurai warriors on their back when they rode into battle during the feudal period of Japan, and looking at the outcome, I think it was a good idea applying the two Takeshi ("武") dry-transfer decals onto the outer plate of the thruster blocks in Part 2, as they help to reinforce that oriental feel the MS design is trying to subtly imply. ^^ Among the features, I like the standing thruster blocks on the backpack the most. ^^ It's a weird cross between Tieren (the shoulder block and waist) and GN-X (the forearms, legs and feet) in my opinion, but not without its own unique features. Bushido's Ahead has a strange look that I like very much. Spotting many unconventional design elements, Mr. ^^ It's still clearly a High Grade kit, but its size is going to make it stand out a lot among others from the same Gunpla line. ^^ Everything just feels bigger, but not crazily out of proportion that it doesn't feel like 1/144 scale kit anymore. The first, and the most impressive feature of this model kit when I finished the assembly is its size. ![]() More images of the just completed HG 1/144 Mr.
