Review RG Justice Gundam

Like all SEED suits I love the lines and the sharper edges combined with the slender look so the Justice doesn’t disappoint in this regard, though with that giant backpack attached it tends to look a little too bulky for my tastes. One thing I can’t get enough of, though, are those details on the legs.

 The backpack, when not on the Justice and instead all expanded, looks fantastic.

 This suit main color it’s not pink but could be called ‘dark pink’ or even Cerise (thanks JPO). Whatever you want to call it the colors work very well on this kit with there being white in all the right areas to break up all that Dark Cerise Pink stuff.

The rifle is identical to those found in the RG Freedom kit and despite a somewhat simple assembly look great. The beam saber handles look better on the suit than in Justice’s hands.

 I’m of two minds about this kit articulation actually. Of course, you can see the articulation is good. The kit is very posable, mostly in the legs though, and is fun to play with but all that articulation is moot once the bacpack is on. You definitely need a stand to get the most out of the Justice & backpack combination.

The build design of this kit is so similar to the Aile and Freedom kits I’ll start this portion of the review talking about the biggest difference – the backpack. In a word, it’s amazing and could possibly be the best part of the build.

Coolest engineering found on the Justice? The shoulders. This assembly easily pops out of the shoulder and opens up. And this is where those small effect parts come in.

This kit is immensely enjoyable to assemble as you get to see Bandai’s great design coming together in your hands. The Suit though is so much like the Aile and Freedom that perhaps a bit of the novelty has worn off. I still had a great time with it, just like any other Real Grade. Some might feel that the RG Justice is more of the same after the Aile and Freedom RG kits but because this line is so stellar that isn’t necessarily a bad thing and that backpack is unlike any other 1/144 scale plamo you’ve ever assembled. If you’re a SEED fan or just like great kits then give it a chance to win you over.
