Remaster 1/144 HG Duel Gundam
The Remastered 1/144 HG Duel Gundam Assault Shroud is a really good kit for the age of the mold. There's so much going on with this kit I think it will be best if I split the review between the Duel and the Assault Shroud. So here is the review of Duel Gundam. Assault Shroud review will come soon.

ARTICULATION
Kneeling
Pretty good kneeling pose; although, I think Strike's was a bit more natural looking.
Duel's thighs are a little short, I think.
Duel's thighs are a little short, I think.
Head can go up a little and not very far down.
Head can rotate 360 degrees.
Arms can rotate at the shoulders all the way around.
Elbows bend 90 degrees. The blue armor bit can swivel up.
Which allows the arm to raise up almost 90 degrees.
Here it is! The most EPIC waist articulation you've ever seen!
It can rotate from left to right a total of... what... 8 degrees?
The leg rotates forward really high and backward even higher.
Pretty decent bend out of the knee. 120 degrees?
Left is the widest the legs will go, right is the widest flat footed stance possible.
ACCESSORIES
The shield
Attaches at the back of the arm and has two attachment points.
The shield can be mounted on the back of the arm...
... yay... so cool... I don't understand mounting a shield on the back of a Gunpla's arm unless it can bend at the elbow nearly 180... It just never looks right.
Much better mounted on the side of the arm.
BAMF
The beam rifle just slips into the hand and you don't even have to take the hand apart.
The Duel and reach it's beam saber pretty well.
And...
Duel comes with Beam Saber BLADES!
CLEAR BLADES!
That's it for Duel Gundam for now. Assault Shroud will make a showing in the next posting.
Until Next Time: Happy Building!
