Review: Gundam Converge ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex (266)

Let's do another review.  This Gundam Converge set is from the first wave of 10th anniversary sets which was released in March of 2022.  I find the arms on this fascinating, so I bought it.


Box.  I paid $10.99 at Newbury Comics for this.

Parts.











Disassembled.  I think the left hand comes off but I didn't want to
find out the hard way it won't.  The head vane could be Spotting.  The
head can be Defense or Spotting.  The backpack can be Defense or
Movement.  The back fin could be Defense or Movement.  The club
could be Melee.  The arms can be removed for White die damage.

Assembled.





The Questions:
Size Comparison.
Is it below, at, or above $10 per Frame?  Above.  (-10)

Is it a good size to use in a game?  Yes.  About the same size as a Chub.  (+5)
How many parts does it have to represent systems?  Five.  (+5)
Does it have enough parts you can remove to represent White Dice damage?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +5 (B+).  While it's a good looking model, something about this feels lacking.
