BANDAI Hobby - Gundam Build Fighters Try - #18 Build Burning Gundam, HGBF 1/144 Model Kit

Like most modern HGs, this kit is top of the line. The accuracy is even more remarkable than most HGs, due in large part to the relative simplicity of the colour scheme. It also comes with far more swappable hands than your average HG, and it is far more stable as well, attributable to its status as an unarmed unit. You can switch out the clear blue parts for reddish orange ones, a quick and painless process to say the least, and you can also attach an array of effect parts which, combined with how incredibly stable this kit is, allow for some very dynamic and dramatic poses, even without an action base. I can recommend this kit with a sound mind to anyone, regardless of skill level. Even if you haven't seen Build Fighters Try, you're going to love this kit--and that's a personal guarantee. There was one problem, though it seems to have been a defect with my kit in particular, as the entire polycap runner showed signs of severe warping.. The shoulder joints are incredibly weak, and moving the arms at all causes them to pop out of socket--and as well, there is a visible gap between the shoulders and the rest of the kit. This is a problem for me... Made even worse is the fact that Bluefin Distribution has temporarily stopped delivering replacement parts for gunpla at the time of this review, so my only choice was to buy another Build Burning and use it for spare parts. Thankfully, I have some plans for the rest of it, but it's still something I would've rather not had to do. So, buyer beware: If your kit has defects, Bluefin will no longer give you replacements.

I have a lot of gunpla (gundam plastic models) and they're all HG. The HG Build Burning Gundam is one of my favorite gunplas that has been released so far. It can pull off extreme poses, has great articulation, and one of the best parts: it comes with so many multiple hands!! For someone who only collects HG models, MOST kits (not all) only come with two holding hands and one open hand (typically the left hand). This kit comes with 2 fists, 2 holding hands, 2 karate chop hands, 2 open hands, and 2 burning firsts. Lemme list all the pros and cons for ya PROS: -LOTS OF HANDS FOR POSES -GREAT ARTICULATION (almost as good as the 00) -Comes with flame effect parts to pull off amazing fighting moves -It is an original kit, so every runner is new -not too many stickers either! -has some unique customization options CONS: -Two parts tend to always pop out and can get annoying sometimes: The shoulder to torso and the elbow armor. -no weapons, just physical attacks (it can be a pro, but I consider a con since most people would like a sword or a gun at least) OVERALL: -if you're getting into gunpla, I believe this is a great kit to add to your collection. I'm not saying it should be your first though because if you get this, then there aren't that many kits that'll make you as happy and has great articulation as this kit. I do definitely recommend to pick this up eventually! If you're looking for a gunpla that can pull off poses like Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, or anyone else that's into martial arts then THIS IS YOUR KIT.

Build Burning is awesome! The build was fun and not too long, the MS is highly articulated, the different hand options are dynamic, the affect parts are fun to mess around with, and I think it would be a great base MS for customization. And the manual confirms that it's based off of the God Gundam from G Gundam, which is my favorite Gundam ever. I recommend this kit to anyone who likes it's overall design and wants to enjoy a truly great model kit.

One of my most favorite anime shows of all time. I've been wanting to get this kit for a long time and cannot wait to finish putting it together! Really happy about it for the price and looks easy to put together in 2 hours or so.

It may lack the standard weapons(e.g. beam rifles, sabers, shields, etc.)most Mobile Suits sport, but it definitely more than makes up for it with its great presentation and functionality. What It Gets Right -Articulation is through the roof! It can do the splits, push-ups, squat, kick, lunge, and many more poses. -Without any panel lining or extra paint, this is one of the better looking High Grade kits straight-built -Fire effect parts look rather sexy when used with the Gundam -Minimal use of stickers in comparison to other High Grade kits Issues I Had -Because the ball joints of the arms do not plug into the sides of the body as deeply as other kits, they are easy to pop off when moving the arms for posing This is arguably one of the best releases of the High Grade Build Fighters line with its above average presentation without extra work and phenomenal articulation, arguably the best among all High Grades and it might age quite well in the years to come with its articulation alone. However, I cannot recommend this kit because the HGBF Try Build Burning Gundam exists. It sports similar articulation while offering bulkier proportions and far more BLAZING effect parts. Unless you prefer the slimmer proportions of the Build Burning or have less money to spend for a whopping 5 dollar difference, buy the Try Build Burning Gundam.

Rapida la llegada del producto, fue hasta antes de la fecha establecida, fácil de comprar y de pagar, el producto en muy buen estado. La entrega fue rapida y sin problemas, nada de pagos extras o adeudos no establecidos. Muy satisfecho en mi compra y con ganas de seguir comprando por este medio.

Reçu très rapidement (en seulement 5 jours), très bon gunpla à monter, pris beaucoup de plaisir à le faire. Le gunpla est beau, et de très bonnes articulations surtout celle des mains qui sont encore meilleures que celles de mes autres gunpla. Je le recommande !

完全新規の新作キットです。バンダイの気合を感じます。 ビームサーベルすらない格闘戦重視の機体。 武器はないけど手首のパーツが豊富で、攻撃時のエフェクトパーツが付属しているので内容は充実。 かなりスマートなプロポーションですが、イケメンで格好良いです。 シールは少なく、ＨＧなのに成型色で胸のダクトの黒まで色分け。2種類のクリアパーツが綺麗。 クリアパーツはブラックライトにも反応します。 新規ポリキャップ採用で肩や手首の可動域が今までよりも強化されています。 アクションポーズにおいては現時点でＨＧシリーズ最高のキットです。 個体差かもしれませんが、素組みのままだと肩は少し抜けやすいように思います。 本編でも炎の中から滅茶苦茶格好良い登場の仕方をしましたが、キットも本当に格好良いです。 デザインよりも動きで魅せてくれます。グリグリ動く。 武闘家の動きを再現させ、エフェクトパーツと組み合わせるのが楽しいです。 作るだけでなく、完成後に格好良い動きやポーズをあれこれ考える楽しさがあります。 Ｇガンダムのモビルファイターの改造素体にお勧め。 とても気に入りました。エフェクトパーツのおかげでいつも以上の楽しさと満足感があります。 肩の接続がもう少しよければ完璧なんですが、ガンプラの中ではかなり斬新で面白いキットだと思います。 値段のわりに内容充実。文句なしでお勧めの商品です。

The Build Burning Gundam HGBF 1/144 kit is a standout entry in Bandai’s Gundam Build Fighters Try lineup, offering excellent articulation, clean aesthetics, and a satisfying build that punches well above its price point. Build & Engineering Assembly is straightforward and enjoyable, making it accessible for beginners while still engaging for experienced builders. The parts fit is excellent, with minimal seam lines and very little need for glue. Polycap use is smartly implemented, resulting in sturdy joints that hold poses well even after repeated adjustments. Articulation & Posing Articulation is where this kit truly shines. Thanks to its martial-arts-inspired design, the Build Burning Gundam boasts impressive range of motion in the shoulders, hips, and torso. Dynamic fighting stances, kicks, and mid-air poses are easy to achieve, especially when paired with an action base. This makes it a dream kit for pose-focused builders and photographers. Design & Aesthetics The design is sleek and minimal compared to more heavily armored Gundams, which fits the close-combat theme perfectly. Clear effect parts for the hands add flair and help recreate signature “Burning” attacks from the anime. Color separation is solid for a High Grade kit, and it looks good straight out of the box, though panel lining and light detailing elevate it even further. Accessories & Features Rather than traditional weapons, the kit focuses on expressive hands and effect parts. While some builders may miss beam sabers or rifles, the included accessories are appropriate for the mobile suit’s fighting style and help it stand out from more conventional Gundam kits. Pros Excellent articulation and poseability Clean part separation and strong joint stability Unique, close-combat-focused design Looks great out of the box Cons Limited accessories compared to weapon-heavy kits Minimal surface detail may feel plain to some builders Overall Verdict The Build Burning Gundam HGBF 1/144 is an outstanding High Grade kit that emphasizes motion, expression, and character. It’s especially recommended for fans of Build Fighters Try, builders who enjoy dynamic posing, or anyone looking for a quick, fun build with great shelf presence. A highly enjoyable kit that proves you don’t need big weapons to make a big impression.

This is my first Gundam Kit or any other Model Kit. I have built small toys/kits when I was quite young but this is really worth it. It's the perfect kit to start, sure the arm pops out quite often while posing but that isn't really a problem for me. Articulation is great, number of accessories with the kit is amazing. Overall it's a perfect kit for beginners. I got the product from the seller: AST Japan. They gave a 3-4 weeks estimate of arrival but I got the product by the end of 2nd week. So, kudos to them as well.
