Unboxing the BB #172 Gouken Gundam

BB-#172-Gouken-Gundam-Kirahagane-Gokusai-Unboxing
The other Gunpla kit I have bought from Hobby Link Japan when they held one of their recent sales was the BB #172 Gouken Gundam Kirahagane Gokusai (Released June 2010). Its list price was at 1000 yen but went on sale at a 65% discount and was priced at 350 yen or at around 175php. I ordered the kit via a friend’s recommendation that it can transform from its mini version to a sort of a High Grade version.

The kit’s box is short to the box size of a HG 1/144 Gundam Wing kit and there are only three runners. The challenge is that most of the designs are sticker-based so masking and painting might be my solution. Here are the pics of the unboxing of the BB #172 Gouken Gundam Kirahagane Gokusai.
