Dark Gundam is the main villain of the G Gundam series and the main target to Domon Kasshu. Dark Gundam contains three abilities including self-recover, self-multiple, and self-evolve. The Kasshu family invented it as the Ultimate Gundam to regenerate the Earth after the Gundam fight. However. Kyoji, Domon's older brother, stole the Ultimate Gundam, escaped from Neo Japan colony, and crashed down to the surface of Earth. Ultimate Gundam was recovered and corrupted as the Dark Gundam. The Dark Gundam was targeting by Domon Kasshu, who is the pilot of Shining Gundam, to avenge his mother's death and free his father from cryogenics prison.

Devil Gundam is original name by Japan while America or Bandai Entertainment renamed it as Dark Gundam.

Positive (3 good things about it):

1. Transform its lower body to giant gundam head.

2. Articulations (joints movement) are okay. Shoulder joint are rotating in 360 degree. Arm joints are rotate 360 degree in horizontal and 90 degree in vertical. Between legs and pelvis are rotate in 90-180 degree. It's head is rotate in at least 160 degree.

3.

Negative (3 bad things about it):

1. No blue color so none blue part have to be painted.

2. Misplacing color like black feet instead of yellow and white giant gundam head instead of black.

3. Cable/Tube between upper body and lower body are separable parts with two pegs on each side. It does not rotate it.

Extra: Dark Gundam’s thigh and shin are one part which cannot rotate its leg joint.

Wanted or not wanted:

It’s depending on positive vs negative. Or Unless Bandai remake Dark Gundam as High Grade Future Century 1/144, I would buy Dark Gundam for G Gundam Collection
