Kotobukiya's simple yet sharply detailed kit of Gurren is a great opportunity for newcomers to learn basic modeling techniques, while also providing experienced modelers an enjoyable time. Ball joints are included for basic articulation at the shoulders, hips, and ankles. Runners are molded in yellow, grey, and red with painted eyes. While paint is not required, it will be necessary if you want show-accurate details, and would add a more realistic appearance to the final product. (The pictures shown below are of a completed and painted kit.) Instructions are in Japanese but are extremely well illustrated so anyone can follow them. Comes with an in-scale, unpainted (molded in red), static kit of Lagann!
