In this post, I'm going to talk about the 1/60 Gundam Exia from the first season, the Gundam that plays the leading role. Among the 4 Gundams(Dynames, Kyrios, Virtue), I'd say that Exia is the best looking, although I still like the other 3 Gundams. Exia is considered as the trump card because of its GN Sword that could pierce through the GN field. If you're confused with the word GN, try google it. Pilot of Exia is a young man called Setsuna F. Seie, who is of middle-eastern origin. Here are the pictures showing the front and back with full equipment.
Much like the anime, this kit has all the melee weapons, ranging from the GN Sword(Convertible to GN Rifle), GN Blade(Long & Short), GN Beam Saber(2), and GN Beam Dagger(2) plus a GN Shield of which Exia hardly uses it to dodge the enemies' attack. Although this kit is 1/60 scale, but it lacks the ability to pose as compare to it's 1/100 scale, and it looks 'fatter' as compare to the 1/100 scale. In example, the foot is totally 1 piece as compare to 2 pieces in the 1/100 scale, making it not able to bend down; the arm is like the 1/60 scale Strike Gundam, wich is without the double joint, meaning it can only be bended until 90 degree; the body is another one that I really dissapointed with because if they are able to make the 1/100 scale to at least lean to left and right, why can't they make this one to be like that as well? Since it's bigger in scale? It is the same though with the 1/60 Strike Gundam; big scale but yet can't pose much.
Anyway, I got this kit because it's a gift. I don't think I would personally wanting to buy this kit, and it doesn't really stir me to 'buy me! buy me!'. In conclusion, here's another picture showing it wielding the GN Sword and the GN Blade(Long).
1 thing I do hope for is that Bandai could at least come out with a MG for this kit or rather a PG. But if they could only make one PG from this 00 universe, then I'd rather to have them made the 00 Raiser(Gundam 00 & O Riser) instead.
