Howling Star Cross Core CZ-12A Nebula

A great looking kit with a few flaws. There are a lot of sharp points and I definitely scratched myself a few times with them and the articulation is quite lacking. The gold and blue parts are painted on sprue and so can mark really easily if you're not careful when cleaning up, and some parts don't fit too great without a little bit of peg sandig here and there.

Otherwise, the kit looks great once finished and is really unique looking compared to all the others that I own.

Recommended!

Pros:
Nice runner layout
Extremely solid, passes the shake test without any joints moving and no loose pieces at all.
It can hold its guns extremely well
You get two ways to build it: The lightweight inner frame Kishin and then the Nebula. The Kishin has extremely good articulation.

Negatives:
Articulation on Nebula is a little lacking, it can do all the basic things but the added armour limits it around the torso and arms.
Spiky, very sharp pieces, I didn't cut myself but definitely came close a few times.
Plastic quality is just below Bandai, around Kotobukiya quality.

4.2/5

Such and enjoyable kit, with some of the craziest box art I’ve seen in a while, shipping was good, one piece fell of the runner but overall this kit was a blast to build and the material/design is really good.
