HG 1/144 Gundam Throne Eins review

So here's my next review, and this is for the HG 1/144 Gundam Throne Eins, one of the three season 1 throne series that seem to be the least lackluster kits from the whole season 1 kits from my point of view. A cool looking kit, but it's articulation gets hinder by the armor parts and the equipment it carries. But nonetheless it performs in showing it's only few equipment worth mentioning. This will be a short review due to it not showing anything promising much . Stickers on this kit is just horrible except for the metallic purple parts for the chest. It has a very unique leg design as it doesn't look like it's standing straight but in fact it is.

 Articulation wise, elbow joints move around roughly above 90 degrees. The knee joints also go around above 90 degrees even though it has a double knee joint.

 The beam gun/crossbow has a very interesting look to it. As I said it has 2 horrible folding stickers to be put on the small wings there. Not that a little paint touch up won't help fix that. It has a movable docking stand for the giant GN cannon on it's back. The docking mechanism can be installed but you will need at least some adjustment for the giant cannon and the arm positioning for it to dock well.

 There's 2 joints for you to swivel the GN cannon and the cannon is  installed by a ball joint for movement. As you can see this cannon is huge, and if measured by height this would probably be nearly as tall as a MG kit.

 

 You also get 2 beams sabers to be put on the shoulder mounts, although no beam effect parts are included. The best way is to use any beam saber effect with a rectangular peg instead of a standard round one.

 The only sticker worth using is this,the chest sticker. it pretty much pops out when it's surrounded by all the dark colors.

So the verdict of this kit, I would say pretty much buy this if you are interested in it, but for those try and avoid this, there's pretty much other kits that show off being a long range type better than this one although you will be missing that very nice cannon. There's not much pose you can do with this kit other than having it pose with the GN cannon deployed since that is the main focus of this kit. pretty much that GN cannon would be a good addition to any kitbash or custom build that you have in mind.
