I might apply those “line decals” on the shoulders and arms but that’s it for me. Oh, also from your photos, it looks like you were having a bit of a problem posing it. Is it true?

Speaking of Aegis, I recently checking out RD Aegis (I never bothered doing that with SEED RDs before). What I found is that the design of it is really appealing. It’s still true to the anime’s simple design while at the same time adding some nice details and style on it. Some may call me blasphemers for saying this but I think I like RD Aegis’ design a bit more than the MG Aegis.

Unlike RD Strike or Duel, the stylized torso and shoulders of RD Aegis (as well as the overall design) just scream “cool” to me. The yellow beam-blades on the arms also look better since it leans more forward compared to the MG imo. I’m seriously considering getting it while ignoring the other GAT-X RDs, especially since RD Blitz is online exclusive with high price and nothing special to offer.
I bought aftermarket wateslide decals from a local reseller here. They're way better compared to the last set of decals I bought from them. The reason I bought two sets of Aegis'. It's good. Notice that the decals are gray and not blue?

Nope, posing isn't hard. I just limit the poses I do so I won't get any scratches. There are a lot of falling armor parts, which surprised me since to the whole course of KrowSama's review of Aegis, there's never a single time an armor part fell off.
