Bandai EW-05 Gundam Deathscythe Hell Custom 1/144 HG Action Figure Model Kit - Endless Waltz Series - Perfect for Collectors & Anime Fans | Display, Battle Scenes & Gundam Diorama Building

The Deathscythe Hell Custom from Gundam Wing Endless Waltz was one truly memorable machine when I first saw it in the OVAs and then to finally have it in person is even more memorable. This Gunpla model is barely 4 inches tall as it is a smaller mobile suit but the wing span spreads past 10 inches, easily. The sight is incredible and the weight issues, from simple standing to complex one legged attacks, non prevalent in this machine as it is so tiny. One gripe is the fact that it is really small. The famous Gundam V-fin does not sit well in the socket and the shoulder blades get in the way of epic poses so I end up tossing them to the side most of the time and finally, The Beam Scythe, IT IS IN YELLOW plastic!?!?! I would have rather preferred the green or at least the plain white, but that might be personal taste. Overall: this Gunpla is easy to build (it only has 3 plates) and it is amazing to look at and play with. This is one Everyone needs on their shelf.Great product; I really enjoyed building it. My only gripe and complaint is how fragile the plastic is. I've worked with other models of various ages but this is, by far, the most fragile plastic I've ever worked with. This model broke several times during construction. It was remedied with more glue but it makes me afraid to touch it to change shape or stance.Bought this one and wing Zero together, recieved separately but it's ok. They are both great little figures. All the instructions are in moonrunes though, and like others have said the scythe is YELLOW. not green! you can follow the instructions easily enough by looking at the pictures carefully, and looks great when completed. finished he's not very big, I was hoping for larger but ah well. his head alone is about the size of a pencil eraser, and he's about 5 inches tall + the wings make him a bit wide, but luckily if you dont have the space you can move the wings into different slots on the back of the toy to have them folded up or opened wide. all in all not bad, very cool for a person who loves old gundam like I doGot this for GF as 1st attempt at building gunpla and she loved it. Minus one star for the yellow scythe....it's just silly looking. Yeah, i know we can paint it but still....Also comes with extra pieces for a twisted torso to make certain poses. All in all, worth the $I've been in loved with this Gundam's design since the first time I saw it. Overall the color choices for this model are a nice contrast to the mostly white if others. Only downside is its age. Since this model vamr out years ago the articulation and overall quality give it away. Compared to something like HG Exia from Gundam 00 you can see the diffrence greatly. I hope for a re-release someday or ill end up getting the mg aswell. Also since its an older model it uses way too many sticker decals. During construction i felt as if i should really paint on the decals in the future.This was my first gunpla. Honestly I’m really happy with what i got myself into here building this was fun and when i finished the level of care i had for the model once i finished blew my mind. This will be the first of many.Very good model kit. Articulation is a bit hindered because of the wings but D-Hell is the type of mobile suit that will look good even standing still without an action pose XD. Little painting is required and as mentioned in other reviews the scythe's beam need to be colored green. Only disappointment is that it doesn't get the awesome shield that the regular Deathscythe and Deathscythe Hell has. Its also a bit back heavy but if u position the feet and legs right it will stand up on its own no problem. Colors are a bit dull but its a good kit even with or without customizations. Overall I'd say get it if u want to collect the Endless Waltz Gundams (but my opinion is that the regular anime Deathscythe Hell is better) but if your budget is a bit low or you don't care for the Endless Waltz model kits; skip it.Since GW was my first entry into the Gundam universe this series will always be my favorite. 1/144 scale isn't the greatest to work with, nor does it have a significant level of detail in comparison to its larger brethren, but it was a fun build none the less. Deathscythe is an ominous looking mech with it's wing open and on display.This product, like all other Gundam's are pretty simple to build up. Its also the cheaper version of the ones with the sythe. The wings that you can see do come off and can be changed to curl around for the 'batman' look.The ETA was given up to a month away, so I was happily supprised when it came in just over a weeks timeAlso it looks pretty sick!Its an old kit but with some TLC it turned out goodLooks pretty nice, fast deliveryI would recommend. Though the colour of the scythe is yellow not green as in the picture.Best thing I've brought online in agesabsolutely what I wanted, box intact, kit intact, fresh out the boxperfect!Brilliant!
