Robot Damashii Wing Gundam EW

First Review
The Robot Damashii or Robot Spirits
XXXG-01W Wing Gundam EW
Commonly known as ver KA.
It is a tamashii web exclusive,

First off the box

The Front

The Back
Mine came with a great dent at the back, and as I bought this second hand it does not come with a brown box that limited tamashii web exclusive figures usually have.

 
The Figure Front View
 The Figure Back View
The Figure Side View
The Figure with wings front
The Figure with wings back
Now for articulation the head can only tilt up that far
And down 
Head is on a double ball joint, and can turn 360 with some hindrance from the two yellow piece beside the head. Also there are Gatling guns underneath each yellow piece beside the head, however pushing them up is a bit of a hassle due to the head design.

Torso, there is a joint connecting the blue piece to the red, and the red piece is on a ball joint with the waist
Next Arms. There are 7 different joints for the arm. One middle piece connecting the torso to the shoulder joint considered as 2 joints here. Shoulder pad is also movable. Elbow joint, wrist joint, the "claw" is also movable 180 degrees.

Wings, as seen from the  'The Figure with wings back' there are 3 joints giving it a variety of movements

All side skirts are movable, both front and side skirts are on a ball joint and the back skirt are joined together with a swivel joint.

Legs, ball joint from the waist, and 3 swivel joint at the knee as the middle piece is movable, ball joint for the ankle joint and ankle armour, swivel joint for feet.

Accessories
1 x Buster Rifle
2 x Buster Rifle Ammo Pack
1 x Shield
1 x Shield Joint
1 x Beam Sabre
1 x Stand Connecter
2 x Open Hand
2 x Holding Hand
 


Ammo Pack can be connected to the arm

Beam saber can be stored in the shield

 The above pictures are taken with flash instead of using proper lighting. As I haven't actually made or found a proper workspace I tried using a different light source, hence the different light balance for the pictures below.



Overall This is an excellent figure, great and tight articulations, nice details and colour. Shame it doesnt come with a stand as Wing gundam definitely looks better 'flying'. Elbow joints are also strong enough to support the weight of the buster rifle, which was an issue with my fix figuration Gundam Wing ver Ka.

The only cons are the arm as the 'claw' pieces are very annoying at certain angles as it clashes with the shoulder pad and sometimes the wing depending on poses. Also the 'claws' and the yellow antenna are hard plastic and can break easily if not careful. Mine came with a broken antenna had to super glue it back, not really noticeable thankfully. 

Got this figure at 5000 yen , around 200 ringgit. Is it worth it? Yes.

This is my first review ever so sorry about the picture quality and the lack of detailed pictures. Will learn as I do more reviews. Comments on how I should improve are much appreciated.

Thank you for reading.
