This is the GP-01 fB HGUC kit by Bandai. Its a great kit and the altered version of the original GP-01 kit. The kit itself is well designed and styled nicely. Even though the face doesn’t look as menacing as the box art portrays (which I was hoping it would) this kit has some nice features. The kit itself does not suffer from any bad joints or loose parts. The backpack thrusters move nicely and add to this MS’s nice posing. I have found that the leg armor does prohibit the full potential of movement of the feet, but its not a problem at all. The rifle and beam sabers fit well, the sheild moints well, and the shoulders can move forward and backward (like the original Gundam kit). Overall, this is a great kit! I liked the original kit so much I have used it as a base for my customization projects, as it is a sturdy model to base this off.
