BANDAI Hobby Full Mechanics Barbatos Lupus Rex Gundam IBO Model Kit (1/100 Scale)

If your into models or gunpla then your gonna wanna get this kit. It is a GREAT kit. Insructions are super clear and in NONE of the steps will u not understand or get confused. Even if your new to modeling your still gonna wanna get this kit. Its clear and easy for even a noob will get thru it no problem. The ONLY thing I had a slight issue with was the stickers. HOWEVER that is ONLY due to me not liking stickers and preferring to paint details on. But they are great for noobs. Just make sure u know how and have the means to do panel lines. As they make the model POP!! Making it look great. But even if you don't then don't worry. YouTube gunpla panel lining how to. And you'll know how to do it in minutes . Its super easy to do and even if you mess up its super easy to clean and fix. One thing tho. This model does not come with a stand. It can stand on its own in certain positions. But without holding the sword. If its holding the sword you will need to do a balancing act to get it to stand. Unless you use the sword stand. Its a wonderful looking model so just take your time and don't rush and you'll love the outcome.

If you all ready have build any of the previous 1/100 Barbatos kits you will be very familiar with the build. nothing really special about the kit unless you happen to get the first production run edition which Includes a stand with the kit .If your looking for a beefy wild kit that's a good size and has nice details I recommend this kit .final note the claws are not molded in yellow plastic but it's not a big deal it is extremely easy to paint them it took me like 10 seconds to paint them.every thing else on the kit is molded in the proper color .

Great model kit. Had to paint the claws and a few other parts to suit my taste; but overall it was a really nice kit. The joints articulate well. The sword/mace is on the heavier side but does come with a stand to support. Barbatos Lupus Rex looks totally menacing...

I’ve been really into Gunpla for about a year now. This kit looks cool and it’s fun and simple to put together, and you can make it look pretty epic without too too much effort involved. It’s a great addition to the shelf.

This is a model I bought for my son for Christmas in 2019. He loves the model, as it seemed very high quality at first. Over the next two months he would pose and re-pose it constantly. By March, the joints seemed to have worn down a lot, possibly from overuse, and the part that attaches the hip to the legs broke off on one side, making the model unable to attach its legs. Whatever you do, be careful with this model’s joints.

Love this one. It towers over the others. I you have yet to get a 1/100 the 1/44 comes up to about their hip. The stand seals the deal on this one, and the little extra helper stand for the mace works well. The part that I love the most is the wire for the "tail". It really adds some extra attention to this model.You can tell they had to make a few concessions for it to be able to (reasonably) easily be changed from frame to full armor, which is really part of the whole gimmick with this model. The god accents they give you for the frame would almost make me display it that way if it wasn't for just how great it looks with the armor.As for assembly, its about a four hour process, not counting painting, and having done a few Real Grades, this one does seem a bit on the easy side with the help of the parts being scaled up. If you have a newer(younger) model builder looking to upgrade from the high grades, this is a good place to start. (and kudos on the English instructions).If you are looking at this.. and have the cash on hand. Buy this. Maybe two if you really like the frame gimmick.

My phone is a potato for pictures but its a well designed model. I don't think it needed even a drop of glue. A good pair of flush cutters an exacto knife for nibs and a gundam marker was all it took to make this gorgeous.

It beautiful and easy to assemble just take a little time, the only problem to me is the color of his finger they suppose to be yellow not black and there is not stand 😑
