Actually, they are pretty darn cheap compared to other gaming company model kits. That Gundam Mk-II is the same size as a Riptide, it not a little larger.
Bandai's Gundam Kits are:
- Snap fit (No glue required at all)
- Molded in Color (No painting required, or light painting depending on the kit)
- Hidden Sprue/Gate placement, very little prep work required
- Fully articulated (More than most action figures)
I highly recommend them to anyone that likes robots and needs a nice change of pace!
**EDIT**
And that model looks amazing as well. The paint and weathering is great!
