Editorial Review

The folks behind Gundam build-it-yourself action figures have made it easy for any modeler to get in on the fun by creating models suitable for any level of time commitment. This level 1 kit allows builders to construct a 5-inch Burning Gundam (don't worry, Burning is just a name, we wouldn't sell you actual flaming toys) in a minimal amount of time. Once he's been put together, Burning Gundam has the ability to pose in a number of positions, but should not be lumped in with the G.I. Joe class of action figures. Hurled across a room, he'll shatter to bits. But put up on a shelf and arranged carefully, he's a fun addition to a shelf, desk, or tabletop. Detailed instructions are included and no glue is necessary. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

Fun to play with when bored.
The Burning Gundam Lv.1 Gundam Model kit is fun if u like to build.It is good on a rainy day.I am jinxed however,whenever I build a model I get cut.Maybe u won't.

A opinion from a expirenced Gundam Model Builder.
This Kit is a fairly nice kit. While yes some of the stuff on it cant be "flimsy" this is due to the nature of the item in question. I would like to start by saying that THIS IS A MODEL KIT, NOT A TOY. Even though it says "action figure model kit" on the side of the box, it is by no means something you can play with like a common action figure. If your looking for a action figure look for the Burning Gundam MSiA (Mobile Suit in Action)figure. With that said, lets begin. It comes molded in about for or five different colors. This for a Novice Modeler cuts down on the amount of painting required. In fact you wouldnt even really have to paint this kit if you use the supplied stickers. Aditionally this is a good kit to start a new modeler out on. All the pieces are snap fit and require no glue. The instructions are VERY easy to understand. Now as to the cons. First off a few of the scales of the parts are off, things like the "skirt" armor seem a little too large in comparison (this is to accomodate the articulation of the legs, so it can be overlooked) the PC (PolyCap - Little rubber pieces that are used in the joints to give the kit movement) Hands look a little cheezy, and if you plan to paint the kit, the paint wont stick to the hands unless you use a special type.
OVERALL: A good Kit if your looking for something to quickly put together, Start a Novice Modeler on, Or are a Fan of G Gundam.
READY....SET....GOOOOO!

This hand of mine is burning red to type how good this is
This gundam is great, I mean just great. I got it at fred meyer and was so excited to put it together, I ran to the car and when I got home I ran to my desk to put it together. It took me about 40 minutes. I would actually give the durability a lower rating because the left sword holster broke off but since it fell 3 feet I left the rating at 5 stars.

Burning Gundam level1
This gundam isn't sterdy,the pieces break off, and then you have to return it and get nother one. All i can say is buy the other level 1 gundam, this isn't worth your money

Disapointed
I thought that the modelm kit would be better, but it turned out to be a total baby toy. I like the level 4 model kit better. So if you are getting a gundam for the first time, don't get this one get another level 4 gundam. It may look hard, but it is not. ... Read more

BUY THIS!
This toy rocks!I love it!It's pretty flexible and is loaded with weapons to the TEETH!It just rocks DUDE!I recommend it to any fan of Gundam Wing! A MUST HAVE!

Cool gundam
This is a very cool gundam. It has many opening compartments and guns. It has a cool knife. For all u gundam fans this is cool. It's not educational but doesn't break if it falls. Overall this is a great toy. The burning is cooler though and the dragon gundam is a must buy.

This Gundam is awesome!
This was my very first gundam action figure, I got it because I have a friend who liked it, and he told me to get one if I saw one. I saw this guy at the store and I was hooked. This gundam is great. He has great play value as he is equiped with a gattling gun attached to his arm, with an optional single or double barrel weapon. His shoulder pads have panels that flip open to reveal missle launchers, his chest opens to reveal two machine guns, a melee knife in case he runs out of ammo, and the new version of this figure(currently out) has flip open ankle missles.

Be warned, keep this guy on a shelf when not beating up on other gundams, his antennaes break after being stored in buckets.

All in all, I can only say one thing about Heavy-Arms. BUY HIM! ... Read more
