HG 1/100 Wing Gundam Review

Well, I finally got around to doing the review

The HG 1/100 Wing Gundam was released a few months after Gundam Wing hit the airwaves in Japan. Using a similar type of polycap system as the previous franchise, Mobile Fighter G Gundam, the model is able to replicate basic movement as in the tv show. The kit itself however, is built differently than the other kits in the 1/100 HG Gundam Wing line due to the bird mode transformation that the actual Gundam uses.

Head

The head consists of 2 helmet halves, a polycap for movement, V fin, plus the eye and chin piece.

The classic gundam faceplate is molded into the front helmet piece, and appears to be very accurate to its anime counterpart. The eye stickers provided don't seem to lineup with the plastic piece for some reason. In fact, it appears that an eye sticker for another Gundam was packaged. V fin is molded in a gold shiny finish. The head is able to rotate 360 degrees on this model because of the transformation gimmick. Unfortunately, the head is set too low, giving it a rather dorky appearance from certain angles.
