When Bandai announced a Real Grade release of the Exia, I was a little surprised. Sure there are lots of Mobile Suits we (by which I mean me) would like to see first as an RG but of course the Exia plays a huge part in 00 Gundam. I was a quite surprised, however, at the response that announcement got. It seemed everyone out there couldn’t wait to get their hands on it. Is this because of the design of the MS itself? Does it have more to do with the quality of the 00 Gundam anime? Or is it a matter of that anime being released around the time digital copy was really taking off? I don’t have the answer to that question but I hope that here I can answer the question, “How good is the RG GN-001 Gundam Exia?”
