RE/100 Efreet Custom

The Efreet Custom was my first foray into the RE/100 series recently launched by Bandai. I feared the series would be a scaled up HGUC, but I do love my Zeon mobile suits, so I went out and got the Efreet. I didn't like the orange on blue at first glance, but the colors really pop in person and look great together. The white trim on the legs and missile pods look really sharp, and the updates made to the skirt, head and shoulders look really great.

Dubbed the MS-08TX[EXAM] Efreet Custom, this Efreet was first seen in the Sega Saturn games Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story: The Blue Destiny as the main rival to series protagonist Yuu Kajima and the Blue Destiny Unit 01.
I especially love the sculpt of the head and chest, and the use of orange around the chest vents. Also, even without the inner frame of a Master Grade, the kit is surprisingly stable and posable. Ultimately, I really liked this kit and I'm looking forward to working on some new entries out of the RE/100 line, especially the upcoming release of the Bawoo.
