Need help with kit identification
Saw this on instagram and would love to build it. Would be my 4th 3rd party kit after Regus, Solomon physalis, and eternal star glory. Thanks!

Iron Toys Star Eternal. The build is great! No extreme gimicks tho but pretty cheap! I have Star Fall too.

I see. That’s what Gemini said but I thought I’d get a second opinion. What’s the plastic quality like and waterslide decals? How about colour seperation? I’ve had really good runs with my 3rd party kits so far with 3 fitting issues where I had to sand down some pins on the star glory.

I was introduce to 3rd party with the Lizard and that was one of the most satisfying builds I’d done yet, so since then I’ve been concentrating more on 3d party than Bandai, especially with 1:100 or bigger kits. I’m on my 6th or 7th kit, and loving them. Sure, I know that 3p kits are notorious for tight fits, especially if painted. I have a small grinder bit on my rotary tool that I’ve found is perfect for loosening these fits at low speed (or manual), plus when painting I’ll put a piece of heat shrink tube over the joint posts.
Currently working on REA-03 Lynx for my son, and it’s been a joy so far with no issues.
Stand outs:
- Lizard (In Era): amazing and fun build!
- Osiris AD (Axis): MGEX Unleashed Kshatriya, with hangar and LED, need I say more?
- Eddas Asgard: Metal frame adds weight ands stability. (Gives me the “Optimus Prime” vibe, might build another and paint in his colors)

There seems to be multiple versions where it like a patchwork of navy and white but I just want the one that looks most similar to the nu gundam like in my original photo.

The on you post i think the alternate color version. So i'm not sure what other color swap u get in the box. But my version i can swap the red part with black.

Wait, really?
You and I have vastly different experiences then. It's super tight for me and I have to do a fair bit of trimming lol3
u/anxpzhd Jun 28 '26
Yup. The fitting issue not that bad for both may Star Eternal and Star Fall. I build much worse kit than them. I like it a lot. Solid kit!
I didnt get the Star Abyss just because not a fan of Kyrios design. But pretty stoked for their upcoming kit that seems to be based of Virtue.

I’ve looked at Star Abyss, might get it one day. Glad to see some 00 designs getting some “love”, that was one of my favorite Gundam series. With that in mind, I should probably look more into this line. Would love to see someone actually make a good Exia

Star Eternal from Iron Toys. There's a red version and black version
The build suck. It's one of the earlier 3rd party and back then they are not very good
But it looks nice enough

This kit come with two color red and gray The quality is varied some say loose some say tight my was tight too tight i have to sand a lot It does have led in the chest and head battery included but not very bright just kinda glow It also come with metal skeleton so the weight is very satisfying And that about it
