Astray Blue Frame Second L HG

The gold plating on the frame parts really pops once it's built, way more than I expected from a high-grade kit. Articulation in the shoulders holds up nicely for the sword poses I wanted. Took me two evenings but worth every minute.

Snapped together in an afternoon and the color separation out of the box is way better than I expected for a high grade. The Blue Frame's backpack unit holds its pose fine even with the swords attached, which was my main worry.

The articulation on the shoulders and knees is way better than I expected for a high-grade kit, so posing it with the swords out actually holds. Snap-fit went together clean in about two hours with no glue needed.
