Top 10 Algae Scrapers

10. Amatu Mina Gold Frame Astray

The Amatu Mina Gold Frame Astray comes with all of the mecha’s signature weapons and can accommodate a wide range of action stances, allowing you to set it up in different positions every day. Included wires let you pose the Maga no Shirahoko spears in mid-attack.

9. HG Orphans Barbatos Iron-Blooded

The HG Orphans Barbatos Iron-Blooded is a replica of one of 72 mechas used in the Calamity wars. The kit includes a giant mace and katana, so it can be posed in some epic fighting positions, and the building process is rather simple.

8. HG Gusion

There is an undeniable charm to the squat figurine you’ll build using the HG Gusion, and, of course, the character’s massive asteroid-blasting hammer is a prized accessory. Its open hands can be fitted with many other items, as well.

7. Master Grade Tallgeese Ver EW

The convenient snap-together assembly of the Master Grade Tallgeese Ver EW means you can always go back and correct any errors made along the way. It features the Endless Waltz series color scheme and is equipped with a removable helmet.

6. PG GN-001 Exia

The PG GN-001 Exia definitely won’t disappoint, with its opening and closing panels that allow you to view various internal parts of the mechanical structure and color-changing LED that reflects different stages of the GN particle output.

5. Epyon Ver EW Master Grade

You are going to want to set aside an entire afternoon before you commence constructing the Epyon Ver EW Master Grade, but you will be left with a stunning model that can transform from a Mobile Suit configuration to Dragon Flight mode.

3. PG Seed Astray Red Frame

The PG Seed Astray Red Frame features molded-in colors, so you don’t have to worry about messing around with any paint after assembly. It is equipped with LED-illuminated eyes, multi-jointed elbows for complex articulation, and the Gerbera Straight long sword.

2. HGUC RX-78-2 Revive

The HGUC RX-78-2 Revive is an updated version of one of the first and most iconic suits from the series’ early days. Its low price combined with the many fine details, multiple articulation points, and near endless posing options make it a top seller.

1. Heavyarms Ver EW Master Grade

The Heavyarms Ver EW Master Grade is an aggressive-looking option armed to the teeth with a giant Gatling gun and too many missile pods to count. All of its components snap together securely, so there is no need for potentially messy glue.
