So just wanna give you guys a quick little introduction in case you are unaware with this service, Basically, it's a proxy service for buying stuff from Japan.

And what you might find it particularly useful for is past premium Bandai stuff that maybe came out a while back.

Maybe you missed it at the time when it came out, and you want to try to find it.

It's kind of hard to do outside of Japan.

This is the interesting way to find if you want to check out the sights.

So here on this side, you can see there is something for period.

Bando, you can go here to browse prion Bandai stuff, but that's gonna be like all of Peruvian bandi, which is much more than just only gum.

Plus that you probably just searched through a few pages to find out all the gum plus stuff.

It's easier to just search for something that you're looking for specifically.

But what I really especially want to draw your attention to is up here.

at the user guide.

This is gonna be the most most useful information you need to know about using a proxy service if you never have.

There's information about their combined shipping options.

They have that for you.

So kind of like using a private warehouse.

If you shopped on hobby like Japan, the little information about their usage fees, return and cancellation shipment he's all that stuff is important to know before shop on the side, of course.

And then down here, information about their service is so there's three main service is here.

A proxy shopping service is basically anything you find on a Japanese science.

You can basically just putting the link.

And then by that, they'll buy that for you through the lengthy Send them auction service of the same kind of thing basically just threw an auction, obviously, and then transfer service is something you by yourself on a Japanese website and you have it sent to stammer.

I buyer for them to package, they can package things together for you and send it to you because when you're buying stuff on Japanese websites, they oftentimes won't ship abroad, so you have to ship it to somewhere domestically in Japan so you can ship it directly to semi buyers warehouse and then they'll package them and send it out to you.

And you can combine stuff, so that's useful.

So check out the site.

If you're interested in checking out some stuff from Japan figures or priming bend I gum plus stuff, things like that.

So again, big, thanks to some right buyer for sending me this kid's No, let's get into the unboxing.

All right, so let's get into it, guys.

As you can see, this is very clearly a premium Bandai and box.

As you can tell from the monochrome box art here on the front and the fact that it's actually a photograph of the painted version of the kid here for the box are instead of an actual illustration, but still looks really nice.

It's in this blue color scheme for this, where the robot itself is the pretty all over the place.

In terms of colors they usually try to go with, like the main color of the mobile suit as like the main color for the monochrome for these people and I kids.

But I think this kind of teal blue color is just sort of like a happy medium.

There's certainly some teal blue on the kid, but there's a lot of colors going on with this kid anyway.

It's a pretty unique design for sure.

I am very well aware that the master grade, because the original of this one is based off, of course, is regarded as one of the worst master hits.

But I am hoping that they'll be enough 1.5 Penis into this, that it's greatly improved.

Definitely all the new parts look fantastic, but we'll see how much they can help the base kits to be an enjoyable build anyway.

So, of course, we've also got his a K 47 style weapon over there on the side.

Honestly, not really all that into him, it's it's It's unique, that's for sure.

But you know, it's a futuristic giant robots.

It's a little bit cheesy, but to be honest, and you can see down here at the bottom, there it isn't.

It's transformed State that transform stay of This is pretty God awful.

It looks pretty bad.

I'll show you guys that in the review anyway, But the backpack I like I do really like the look of the backpack for this, so we'll get into all of that.

Just take a look around.

The box here is on the top and bottom of box, but we're gonna have the same thing.

Just a little look there.

Rigas e custom on the side.

Just got the name there as well.

No price listed for this, but the list price on this guy came in a 55 100 yen, which is really not too bad.

As you can see, It's a pretty big box, large size master grade box, and it's pretty thick and there's a lot of stuff in here, although I assume there's going to be a lot of leftover parts as well.

But we'll see just how many months we could get a look at the menu and just take a look at this.

How multicolored that is.

You got some blue, some grace and bright purple, bright red, bright yellow orange, and they're just got a bunch of colors straight off the bat.

Just it's giving you Earth about a very eighties.

Survive to this, No doubt about that.

We've got some oil stickers there looks like that typical kind of eighties version of white as it sort of like a minty white color.

They're likely still like the old GM and got a bunch more purple.

That is all for the back back.

Actually, like the back back in that purple color, it's again very unique.

All right, let's get a look at the manual here the first.

So there is what the image on the front of the box would look like in full color.

It looks pretty cool.

I mean, if that was like an actual full color normal box are illustration of the Riga Z custom that be pretty awesome, looking for sure, but there's what that looks like on the back.

A little of guide about how to put on the water slides that does include Somewhere in there, we'll find them on.

Then there's just the waterside marking guide here for this to where they're gonna go around on.

It doesn't look all that extensive.

There's a handful of them, but nothing really well, two.

Crazy release.

You can see a nice front and back reference image of the kit there when it's all painted up so you can get a good look at that from the fronts.

Kind of normal color scheme.

Then you have the back.

It was just that bright purple and red all there for the backpack is looking pretty wild.

For sure, there's the official painting guide there, down at the bottom as well, in Japanese and English.

So it's cool that even for the people and by kids, they go to the trouble of giving us that in English as well.

It's appreciated for that stuff.

Unfortunately, though, with these Ah lot of most of the pretty, much most if not all of the bullion bend I kids master grade kids they don't have, like the X, the usual like master grade centre page.

There's a bunch of photos and information and stuff like that.

Unfortunately, don't have that.

But we do have our parts list here, and you can see there on the air.

Now we're using, like three or 4567 parts and a whole bunch of leftover parts.

They're leftover parts, a bunch there from the F runner from the G Runner, a whole bunch of leftover parts.

And then there's pretty much extra leftover parts on pretty much all of the runners until you get down into the excess.

I'm guessing those are gonna be all the new parts for this.

Starting from x a XB x e x t x e x g a little, little, little, little little all the way to X I, too, was going to be all the numerous.

So it looks like about, uh, half the runners are new and half are old, so it's not too bad.

Here's a breakdown of what you're gonna be building in here than it was due to the shield and the beam assault rifle.

So it's just gonna be going all through the construction of that and then going through the Arctic the, uh, transformation there at the back, I should say now, articulation.

And then just Yeah, finishing of the transformation and that's it.

So nothing really too crazy.

Let's just get into the runners.

All right, So first up, we do have some foil stickers here.

Quite a few of them, I should say.

But mostly it looks like eyes and cameras.

There you've got a couple little black ones that probably go inside some vents or something.

The red circle wounds and in the yellow kind of square looking ones than in this big one over here.

Probably gonna be the most agree, just one.

But we'll see how bad or how unnoticeable or noticeable those look on the finish getting the review anyway.

And here's a look at the water slide decals.

She It's quite interesting is a lot of really nice decals on their You've got white, black, red, yellow and it's mostly a lot of markings, things like refines a Gundam, FSF logos and the FSF markings and stuff on there.

Linda Bell markings as far as like just general caution markings is not really all that many.

It's like about half and half caution markings and, like logo markings.

You have four little screws that we're gonna be using here for this.

You've got PC 1 to 2 for our pulley caps here in Gray.

Got this MP runner for new hand parts for this case, So this runner is from 2012 original, used for the master.

Great age gets then later used for the master grade gym, sniper, two and other different versions of that we've seen out in the past couple years.

So it's gonna have a nice new set of hands.

That's good news.

And we've got the beam saber affect parts for this.

So it uses the mega beam Sabres, which are using the perfect grade size beam saber effect parts years.

So this is officially runners E.

But this is Sabre three, originally from 2000.

So these would be the beast, a perfect parts that usually used for one sixties kill kids.

All right, then, runner E.

Here's what we're going to start off this be from the original Rigas E kit and it mean some of the parts don't really also look all that.

Too bad there's some detail in there a little bit.

Not really a lot, though.

It's in this very light kind of minty kind of color.

And I don't see the date on this guy originally from 2001.

So actually a little surprised, but I expected that I didn't know off him, but I was expecting, like, 1999 or something for the year of this 2001 and we've got two of this e runner, and there were F once again from the original kids.

Still, this is in a dark gray A B s plastic here for some frame parts for this.

And we got two of these.

And their energies, the more great A B s frame parts Still from the original kit for I basically just a couple of big parts here.

Still from the original kits.

But back to that minty color.

And there were no J, some dark teal blue colored parts here from the original kid.

Basically for the feet.

Looks like mostly and a couple other little detail parts.

I've got two of this runner and the runner ks tomb or inner frame and join parts here.

This is the last runner from the original kid, but some nice detail on these.

So the internal frame of the original it was not that bad.

What frame?

That it did have got two of this K Runner.

All right, then.

New parts here, we've got Runner X, A four colors.

You've got some clear parts.

They're down at the bottom for new parts for the head.

A couple of brown parts there for these barrel parts of the beam rifle and a bunch of other parts would be my full there.

Got a couple more hand parts in a couple of little detail parts and one little part up there and read for his new chin piece.

XB is the more gray A B s of new parts for the internal frame.

It looks like there's quite a bit of them, as that's continued onto under X C here as well.

A bunch more of that.

And we got two of this X t runner, an Ex D.

Some new exterior armor parts, including a new pilot figure there as well, a bunch of new parts for the head and skirting armor as well.

Never X Seymour.

New exterior armor parts here and all the details looking really nice, especially on those wing bits.

Next year.

Detail Looking very nice.

We got two of this X e runner or X f some new parts in that dark blue color for the torso and Pete Paris, new partner for the shield as well.

Ex G one here.

All of that beautiful bright purple color parts for the backpack.

We've got Runner Ex G two as well for this half of the runner there.

X h one.

All of these bright yellow orange little detail parts now we've got new added for this kid's as well as one ex h two, a copy of this half of the runner there.

And finally, Runner X I want is some new parts here in red and the ex I to a company of this portion of the runner up there.

So there we are.

And it certainly seems to be that it's about half and half old parts of new parts.

I actually think if we were to go in and actually count Runner by running part by part, I was part by part, actually, and see how many parts were actually knew and how you rolled.

The majority of the parts were actually knew.

So it's much more knew that in his old So it's again gonna be kind of along the lines of, like the master of excess and then the master grade.

Waj, where we were getting these like version 1.5 versions of these older master grade kids and pretty cool, honestly, was never a big fan of the design of the original Rigas e, which is why I was never really all that interested in the original master grade.

But I do really like the new aspect of the design for this version of the kids.

So I think it's gonna be pretty cool.

The color scheme.

While I do like some of the colors, as I mentioned, I like that purple backpack.
