Hello Gundam Fans, Today I'm gonna do a review on the RE/100 Efreet Custom. This kit comes with a total of 11 Runners, 1 Sets of Polycaps, 1 Sticker Foil, 1 Decal Stickers and 1 Instruction manual. I would highly recommend this kit for beginners as it comes with low number of parts count and a very straight forward build.

Straight out of the box with some minor panel lining you would get a stunning and gorgeous looking Re/100 Efreet Custom.

If you ever built a RE/100 kit you would know that it feels like a typical HG kit, resize it to 100 scaled, but the panel line for this kit is incredible, so pack with details.

Dat Sweet Ass Rocket Launcher Though~!

Well when it comes to articulation, errr he kinda sucks. He can do the basic poses but if you are expecting  90 degree bends and a lot of hip rotation, you put too much hope for this kit.

Arms rotation no problem, arm bends close to 90 but not 90 around 80 degree only.

That's as much as the the legs can go, no more no less, almost 90 but not 90.

Splits? Not so much, Average splits only. Kinda disappointed at this kit because it looks so good yet the articulation is so so only, moreover if you strain this kit for a nice pose too much, parts all apart like nobody's business (Only the limbs).

1 thing that got me loving this kit is the head.

Reason I said so is because they actually give a clear lens instead of sticker. Though it isn't really that visible, but it somewhat shines out sometimes. Down part of this head is that, after so many years of production on gunpla, they did justice for the RG Zaku's head which is the lens/mono eye would follow the head movement, but for this kit no chance whatsoever.

You would have to take the head apart and readjust the position of the lens yourself. Though to me it might be a bad thing but it's not really an issue as some people would like to adjust to their likings on where they want the mono eye to be.

There is another gimmick to this kit, Bandai has been doing this to most kit which is the shoulder section, there is an extension.

This is before the extension. (pic above).

This is after extension. If you don't know what it is for, it is action for the arm to extend further for more posing ability.

And so this is not an mg kit, you are given 2 different types of hands, like the HG model kits.

You are given a pair of punching hands and a pair of gripping hands.

And now for the moment your are waiting for~ Le weapons.

What makes this kit stand out, this 2 clear parts weapon in orange! Simple yet a stunning choice of weapon.

For equipping this weapon on the Efreet would be something like this:

Tadaaa~ simple trolololol.

And when I tried the equip the weapons on the Efreet, this happen:

hmmm =w=|||...........

Back to weapon posing.

Oh did I Mention he's got a rocket launcher? ;3

And...... when you are done with all the fiddling around and playing around with this kit~ Like momma say you have to keep all your toys back to it's original places.

The Efreet is given 2 slots behind his back to slow back its weapon.

Note: Review is based on my personal preference.
