The Mk. III as a stand-alone kit is amazing, but it really shines with the AM Gunner and AM Boxer addons which, as per usual, are sadly P Bandai exclusive. Also, I have my HG Hückebein Mk. II ver Trombe preordered. I am beyond excited for the HG Weissritter that was finally announced to go alongside my Alt Eisen. I recommend you check out the HG Dygenguard, Zaku. It's definitely more over the top, but an awesome samurai robot with a GIGANTIC sword.
If only more kits had been given the 2 secs to slap some color on the actual missiles in the pods such as this one has. And this is a HG so the fact it has the colored missiles makes the fact it does even greater! The difference between no color having missiles and colored missiles is monumental!
Hajime Katoki himself designed these huckebein series iirc...which is why they are my favourite units in GBA SRWOG also is that ankle articulation for fitting to AM Boxer unit?
Have you played the PS2 remake of the OG games? There’s a complete english translation patch and the animations are legit some of the best spritework I have seen in a game ever
It's the less-popular-than-gundam tax lol. They need to guarantee returns for the cost of production, which is much easier with the gundam and pokemon model kits than the SRW/Digimon/Kamen Rider/Ultraman/Mazinger/etc stuff. Really sucks

Got the Mk-II but haven't built it yet. Now I want to get this one as well. Awesome review.
It is a personal trooper, and a real robot, inside a super robot's game
Crossing my fingers that we'll eventually get the Exbein, Ash, and EX Exbein.
poor Setsuna F. Seiei will be confused if he saw a Huckebein.
have this, awesome kit !

Thanks for the review. I enjoyed building this kit. Trying to get the AM Gunner and Hückebein Boxer at the original price, not so much.
I hate comparing stuff but the general shape and color scheme reminds me of the Nu Gundam mass production type with all the yellow highlights
This is when High Grade truly live up the name
"Armored Trooper" 🙂
Personal Trooper
did you get the Boxer?
I love the Hucklebein suits but they are way too overpriced
