Oh, G-Saviour. You are the black sheep of Gundam franchise. This live action movie put Bandai to shame for letting westerners turn an iconic anime into a poorly developed movie. Even Yoshiyuki Tomino, the creator of original Gundam, expresses his disgusts for G-Saviour whenever someone asks him about this movie. Poor, G-Saviour. I think that the movie was alright. Although the plotline was shallow, I actually enjoyed watching it.
Although the movie was not promising, G-Saviour has a wonderful mechanical design. G-Saviour is sleek and charming.

I broke the v-fin that this model kit originally came with. So, I used one of HG Astraea F2's v-fins to replace G-Saviour's broken v-fins. Surprisingly, it fit perfectly on G-Saviour's head.
G-Saviour's articulation is pretty decent for a HG model kit. Some parts can rotate up to 180° and some parts can bend up to 90°. Although I am not very excited about G-Saviour's articulations, I really appreciate Bandai for adding the bendable feet. I love it because it's something you rarely see in most HG model kits.

You would need Tamashii Stage Act to display this kit in aerial poses. You can definitely play with angles and pose this model kit dynamically.
I really recommend getting this model kit. You might need to put in some effort to find this model kit, though. G-Saviour might be a bad movie. However, this model kit is definitely something that you have to look at as a different entity.
Overall: 8.3/10
I'm having a thruster-gasm! I love them thrusters.
