The kit has been reviewed on:
http://www.dalong.net/review/mg/mg99/mg99_i.htm
Complete with pictures and a higher quality manual scan.
I wouldn't call that a "review" but the high res scans are very nice.
Do they do that for every new kit?
Don't you think the box art is a little awkward? Swinging a naginata
with one hand while holding the shield in the left hand, looks like
Gelgoog is liable to commit accidental seppuku. It's odd that Okawara
gave Gelgoog a 2-hand weapon and a shield and not enough arms to
handle everything.
Also, notice the box art depicts a particularly dramatic moment of
Char's life. The Core Booster in the foreground is Sayla, and unaware
of that, Char was in mid-swing to kill his own sister. Lalah piloting
Elmeth, which is visible in the background of the boxart, senses the
identity of Char's target and telepathically alerted Char at the last
moment. In the split seconds after the scene in this boxart, Char was
momentarily distracted by Lalah's plead to spare the Core Booster,
which allowed Amuro to find an opening to shish kebab Char; sensing
the mortal attack, Lalah use Elmeth to shield Char, making Amuro her
murderer in the process. This moment even seeded the animosity
between Char and Amuro in CCA.
All that, in a simple box art for a MG kit.
