We have here an unboxing review of an SD Archive Wing Gundam. This is a must have for Gundam Wing fans. Its the biggest SD version of Wing Gundam that I know of (correct me if I am wrong). This Gundam Wing here can also transform into “bird mode” which I will show later in the review. AFAIK this is the 2nd SD Archive release based on the number indicated on it’s box. SD Archives are bigger than your regular SD Gunpla kits and are made of rubber and plastic. Some of the parts have screws on them.  Moving on…

 

 

BOX

-looks high because of the extra flap at the top

-it has a lighter theme compare to the SDGO line

 

 

front and back

 

 

sides

– you can see the top flap better

– the flap is a burden I try to manage when stacking the boxes

even the verniers on the legs are there

 

 

fingers on hands are fixed, enough to hold the rifle

Now let us try on the accessories…

 

 

 

Luckily I have two of these SD Archive Wing Gundams… I will have the other one transform into “BIRD MODE”

 

 

 

HOW TO TRANSFORM INTO BIRD MODE

 

begin by pulling the head up so you can rotate the torso

 

next is to pull up the claw on the arms and bend the arms outward

 

 

just fold the shoulder armor downwards

 

 

then fold the feet as shown below

 

 

then combine the buster rifle with the shield before attaching it the the head area

 

 

tada!!!
