    This was my first MG and I just ordered another to do some custom painting now that I'm more experienced. I wanted to add a couple notes to your review. The wings have a folding mechanism that expose its thrusters which looks amazing! The spikes on the legs are very very easy to break and pop off. And the armor plates on the skirt pop off constantly but a little glue fixes them easily. It's an AMAZING kit and fun build. The dark plastic does discolor the nubs easier if your not careful while nipping. I highly recommend this kit

    I adore the Epyon, it's such a cool design. I do feel like the MG does it justice. I have to wonder, though, did it just not sell well? It seems like this suit gets ignored pretty often when it comes to new kits. We still don't have a RG version, and I don't think there is a recent 1/144 scale. Might be an older kit, I do know there is some ungraded kits floating around...

    The Epyon would benefit from having a wire running through the heat rod.
    A good test to see if a rod or a bendable object is strong enough to hold its shape would be to use its weakest version, make it straight, and hang it by its end parallel to the ground.
    It's also heavy so any arm you attach it on will drop

    This is my first Gunpla kit. Had it since May 2020. Looks great but not immune to some problems. Here are some I had:
    -"Ear" part loves falling off just the moment you touch it
    -Exhaust system on the arms falling off when you move the arms too much
    -The white part that covers the search eye already softened and broke off
    -The front fins on the legs have already loosened
    Also broke the beam saber hilt but that's on me probably LOL
    Still love this kit though. Glad MG decided to finally give it the most decent review that it deserves.
