Alice Gear Aegis 金潟直美 [GA-SHIN]

The Ga-Shin variant's color scheme is way more striking in person than in the promo shots, and the joint articulation on the shoulders lets me pose her mid-swing without any parts popping off. Took about an hour to assemble, and honestly the decal sheet alone was worth it.

The armor pieces on this version snap on way tighter than the standard Sugumi, so nothing pops off mid-pose. Joints hold their angle even with the big shield attached, which was my main worry. Easily my favorite build this year.

The color separation on the Ga-Shin armor is so much cleaner than the standard version, no paint touch-ups needed. Joints hold poses well even with the heavier shoulder units attached, which was my main worry.
