I finally got around to finishing one of my secret santa kits from 2019! The XN Raiser is a beast of a kit that places even more add-ons and weapons onto the existing 00 Raiser. I might be alone on this one, but I think the 00 Gundam looks its best with the 00 Gundam and Raiser separately! That being said, the XN Raiser looks incredibly detailed though it is hard to pose due to the weight of the all the Rasier add-ons. For this kit I tried my hand at some light scribing and got another chance to use one of my favorite blue paints, Gaia colbalt blue with some florescent pink!

This 00 Gundam comes with all the weapons of the MG raiser kit with the XN weapons included. The strength of this kit is the amount of options you have for displaying the kit! You can choose to have the 00 gundam and raiser separate, together, or vice versa with the XN Raiser. The kit also comes with some neat additions like the GN Buster Sword III which can either be placed on the raiser or used as a weapon. Unfortunately for me, the weight of the sword broke the left wrist of the kit, so no fun poses with it this time!
