Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex HG

The red paint scheme on this repaired form looks even more aggressive in person, and the new shoulder armor fits together crisply without any loose parts. It’s a solid build that captures the post-Hashmal battle damage vibe perfectly.

The articulation on those giant claw arms is insane, I've been posing it mid-swing against my other kits and it holds the stance perfectly. The weathered panel lines really sell the whole "repaired from fighting Hashmal" look, it's my new favorite on the shelf.

The claws on the forearms are super satisfying to pose, though the waist joint is a bit stiff until you work it in. Build took me a couple hours and the red accents pop nicely against the dark frame. Solid kit if you're a fan of the final form.
