Gunpla

Gunpla Build - High Grade Xi Gundam (Build) 2025-06-10

This kit has a ton of runners. That’s not surprising.

What is surprising is that some of the parts are small. Really small. Where are they going to go on such a big model?

Also, looking at this spread, I’m also a bit worried about the color accuracy. All the red, yellow, and orange parts are on the A Runner, and there aren’t many of them.

Then again, the decal sheet is pretty big, so maybe that will pick up the slack. Only one way to find out!

Gunpla Build - High Grade ECOAS Jegan (Build) 2025-06-01

Let’s crack this sucker open and see what we’ve got:

Looks like the simple assortment you’d expect from a standard grunt. I shouldn’t be surprised by this, but considering the high quality of my other Unicorn kits, I guess I expected this one to have a little more too it.

Still, we shouldn’t judge a Gunpla by its runners. Let’s build it and see what we’ve got.

Gunpla Build - High Grade ECOAS Jegan 2025-05-31

I built a grunt, then another grunt, then a grunt from Gundam Unicorn. Let’s keep the streak going with another grunt from Unicorn.

This is the ECOAS-type Jegan. I’ve written before - at great length - about how much I dislike the Jegan, and this is probably the only version of it you’re going to convince me to build, so let’s get to it before I change my mind.
