HG 1/144 Rick Dias

This is the High Grade 1/144 Rick Dias. This mobile suit comes to us from Mobile Suit Gundam Z, and appears frequently in the series. This is a very old kit, having come out back in 2002, but in my opinion, it actually isn’t too bad of a kit. It’s actually pretty detailed for one of the earlier kits, and it even has the gimmick from the anime where the top of the head lifts up to reveal hidden vulcan guns. It doesn’t come with any sticker decals, but it doesn’t really need any. Just a little panel lining and a bit of paint on the arms and inside the vents on the shoulders. The articulation is what you’d expect from such a bulky mobile suit, but it honestly doesn’t bug me all that much. The look and detail of the kit is what sold me on it. 🙂 All in all, I really like it, and I recommend it to fans of Mobile Suit Gundam Z. 🙂
