Bandai #130 RGM-96X Jesta 1/144 High Grade Universal Century

This is by far my favorite kit i've built. Its a bit more challenging than most of the HG kits I've built. I wouldn't recommend it as an introductory kit to Gunpla but after you build a few and get familiar with Gunpla i would pick this one up. It looks amazing and (this might be me) seems to be more articulated than some other kits that I own especially the legs. I love the beam rifle this kit comes with it's one of my favorite stock weapons. The joints are all very strong on the Jesta so you could add some other weapons to it no problem which in some of the pics you can see I've added a few extras

Great kit, not too difficult to build, high quality construction. The plastic this model is made from feels substantial unlike flimsy older model kits. The completed model is sturdy, easy to achieve many interesting poses without arms or other bits coming off. Only issue is the missiles on the shield; they're pictured as being different colored but are the same grey color as the piece they're sculpted from.

Great looking model, reminds me of a cross between Pacific Rim's Gypsy Danger and Halo's Master Chief. It was a relatively quick build, not as complicated as the 1/144 Gundam 00 (possibly due to the Jesta only having a few weapon choices - rifle and shield or 2 beam swords).Minor complaints:It's darker in person than it appears in pictures, there's not much contrast, as many parts are navy-on-navy, and there are only a couple lighter grey bits that show through. Also the shield hangs off the backpack rather than attaching to the arm, which limits it's posing.

Overall, this kit is pretty decent and will give you a lot of posing. However, sadly during my build, I had some issues. Some of the nubs that fit into sockets broke off in the torso and the socket for the hands rubbed off pretty easily making the hands feel loose. However, those are more of my fault and regardless of what happened this would have gotten a 4 out of 5 anyways. It came with a decent amount of accessories and spare joints for sockets so if you need them you have em.

I reviewed another Jesta and am just as thrilled with this one. This one doesn't come with as many weapons but it is a very close build to the other one. My son put this one together and it took him a few hours but it looks great. Still has great articulation, nice accessories, and is durable.

The 4th Gundam model that I have built, this one is really great. It went together fairly easily and looks great. I'm personally not a fan of using very many stickers, or i this case of this model, no stickers at all, since my hands are big and they're hard to put on. I do love the color of this one, a very deep, dark blue and the Beam Carbine is definitely my favorite Gundam weapon so far.

I bought this for my son and he loved it. He finished building it by the end of the night. Great quality plastic and easy to follow instructions.

Not only is this a good kit but it's also very durable and possible. If you are a UC fan deffenetly a must buy

Prodotto come da foto, il problema è stata la spedizione.Troppo lenta

Great build and great articulation. Looks fantastic and is relatively sturdy compared to the other HG kits I own.

It arrived sooner than expected and it was very fun and easy to build. Excellent Gunpla and seller!

久々のガンプラでこいつを購入。肘と膝は共に可動域は120°程度でUC系にしては広めです。肘と膝のシリンダー？(あの丸いやつ)がアニメと違い色分けされてないので、細かく塗らなければならないのがめんどくくさかったけどそれ以外は満足のいく出来でした。ジェスタだから仕方ないけど武装はライフルとサーベル一つずつとちょっと寂しいのでなんか付け足してあげたらいいと思います。

Good build
