Finally, I have finished with this MG Crossbone X-1. My comment on the kit is that it is of good design, and it's pretty much Katoki Hajime's signature of slim & balance proportion.
Articulation is not as great as compare to the MG F-91 due to the reason of the waist armors that tend to restrict the legs movement, while trying to pose it squadding. The thighs tend to break easily, so it has to be handled with care. Then there's the core fighter that can attaches and detaches from the main torso. This is another part that needs to be handled with care as well because taking out the core fighter from the main torso with incorrect force can break the internal structure of the torso. The Beam Sanber is really hard to be grabbed because of the circular bar around the handle that forms something like a fencing sword handle. As for the cape, one will have to be very patience in order to make it looks like the picture in the manual; it is really hard to put it on.
Overall it is a great design despite the articulation and some posing difficulties. Still, I have 3 small minor things to fix, the daggers and a small part of the Beam Sanber because the colour don't match with the overall body.
Next on the list:
1. MG Strike Freedom (Have to postpone until I purchase the colour)
2. MG Hi-Nu Gundam
3. MG Strike Noir
4. Armored Core
5. HG Gundam Exia 1/60
