This is an unboxing and out of the box build review of the ANA 00 Raiser Gundam (an HG 1/144 G30th Limited Edition kit). For those who do not know about ANA you can check this post for more info. This ANA 00 Raiser Gundam is the second kit that we have built among the ANA series. Like the first kit which is ANA RX-78-2, this 00 Raiser is also a very awesome kit. Joints were super tight (maybe because of the paint), chrome-like finish is top notch, nub marks are not really noticeable and decals are nicely thought of (meaning advertising of ANA did not get in the way of the kit). Giving it a 10/10 score! ^_^
