HG Gundam 00-53 Reborns Gundam

Personally, I always think the Cannon mode of reborns gundam looks hilarious. The front is pretty cool from my standard, but the actual reason I purchased the kit is its dominance in EXVSMBON. Using a melee suit against Reborns is like controlling a electron with positive charge against a proton – it's impossible to get close: either the CS or the GAGA would beat me again into the ground.

I did nothing additional. In fact, I haven't even finished the panel line. Already, it looks pretty sharp. I'm especially satisfied with the shape of its face.
Two months ago, I was wondering which one would come first, MG kit of Reborns Gundam or Shanghai Gran Prix? I couldn't come to an answer at that time. But now I'm pretty sure the MG kit will appear later. The HG kit is good, but only good as an HG kit – the poor movability of the ball joint over its waist, the loose skirts, the intensive use of stickers, and oversimplified GN Fin Fangs leave cosiderable space for improvement.
UPDATE IN 2024: turns out the Shanghai Gran Prix came first.
