How to "built"? Laughing

Looks pretty cool. Little expensive for my taste, but those kids are extremely talented to be able to do that. I'm truly amazed.

That is too cool, I wish I could have one. That would be the most amazign toy ever if they had an option to upgrade to a motorized version.

In general, the larger scale plastic models are easier to build than the smaller scale ones, especially for children.

Grrr. It shouldn't say 'life-sized', as a Gundam is (a) not alive and (b) very much bigger than that. I know it doesn't sound as good, but at least say 'person-sized' or 'human-sized' or 'really big' or something.

I wanna hang out with those kids. Laughing

For a second, I thought "life-sized" meant the size of an actual Gundam. Yeah, like that'd work. Shocked

Oh good God! This would look so good next to my Perfect grade Wing Gundam Smile

I was at a convention in Atlanta Georgia once and they had a full sized replica of a Heavy Gear (was an RPG game, then a video game) It was huge Shocked

I doubt it moved, and it was welded and painted, not snap together, lol.
