Fun build

I gave my son a gift. He put it in the display cabinet after he finished building it. I didn't pay much attention to it. One day when I went to his room to clean, I found something strange. After careful observation, I found that several parts did not fit. Later I asked my son why he didn't tell me. He said it was okay, he just liked the process of building it. So it didn't matter.

I like writing reviews on figures like these to help out those on the fence about dropping dough on imported brick build kits.Let's start it off. I got this next day after ordering, which is odd even for Prime Shipping. Still, after taking one look at the box, I knew this would be an all nighter. The box was quite large and I had to separate the content within across a table (a great sign for Model kit enthusiasts).The entire build took me roughly five hours alone so I'll give ya the cliff notes.Read Before starting: I like to enhance my model kits to prolong shelf life as I've had many of these sort of kits dropped when I handed them to people. There may be some tips and tricks here that will help you in your build process.Articulation: Fantastic, I mean the pose,-ability is incredible. Full Articulation at almost every ratchet-like joint except for of course the ankles, hips and neck. Theres a slight drifting issue on the aforementioned joints. If you're like me, you already have some clear fingernail polish on hand, after a touch up on some of the joints, I had no issues. Clear nail polish is a neat trick to provide a little friction for looser joints, apply ONLY where the ball joints connects to the rest of the figure (Neck, Shoulders, Elbows, Wrists, hips, knees and ankles) DO NOT apply nail polish directly to the ratchet itself as this will make the entire joint immobile. I've only made this mistake once on a different build.Stability: The ankle and hip joints for Guan Yu are slightly unstable but hey at least they included a buildable figure stand, if you're unwilling to use the nail polish hack or unfamiliar with it, then its best you use the stand, though I'll probably display it in a case.Difficulty: If you're used to building Gundam Models or Lego Cars then this will be walk in the park. Otherwise it would take you a couple of days (two 2 hour sessions). It's definitely a fun way to introduce a friend or relative to model kit building, especially of they like Brick kits.Additional tools: It doesn't come with a brick separator but I was able to separate some of the bricks by hand with little effort when I made a mistake. You won't need paint as the Guan Yu I purchased had a variety of brick colors from Green to Gold. You may want to have a couple of rolls of super glue handy for longevity (only use on core pieces, do not use superglue on the joints lol)Size: Once completed, this figure stands at 13 inches tall. Which is definitely larger than most kits I buy and well worth the money in toy bricks alone.Degradation: It's too early for me to tell but I will update this review after a month or so.Build time: It took me roughly five hours to build this, though most of that time was spent sorting through the bricks and applying kit enhancements, which like most model kits are marked in bags to be opened as you advance through the build. Now one issue I did find was that many bricks thay you need to complete parts like the legs are in other bags, still not really a Problem if you sort the bricks by colors. If you choose to forego any enhancements, this build may take a single adult about three hours.Conclusion: Well, I'm definitely going to buy some of the other Generals as this was fun enough and cheaper than 70 percent of Gundam or Lego kits you can buy.

Al it more detailed and difficult than expected

Packaging : the sets come in a nice, well decorated box. Inside are several numbered bags (1-3), a few un-numbered bags of gold parts, and a few un-numbered bags for the bonus stand set.Instructions : The mecha's instructions are well printed and easy to follow. The bonus stand's instruction sheet is decently printed and fairly easy to follow, if a bit small.Parts quality : The parts on the mecha were all of a good fit and finish. The parts for the stand were of a lower quality, but still not bad.Set design : The mecha has a good, stable design with a surprising amount of detail. The stand ... well, it works.Overall thoughts : The mecha is really good. The stand is a decent bonus, but it is not really needed, as the mecha is nice and stable.
