Ok, so here is the build, done after work over a week and a full Sunday.
Lots of parts, from small to gigantic. Certainly get a lot of plastic for your money.
It is the first of Bandai's Re100 range that will feature simpler kits that have previously only being in their simpler, smaller HG range, if at all. By leaving out some of the detail and inner structure of the 1/100 MG range they can offer kits this size for a fair price.
I have only 'snapped' the kit together at this point, next will be some dismantling, cleanup and paint.

Here is the kit, and a normal 1/100 Mg box alongside
Lots of parts here (bottom row) assemble to 3 parts (top row). One of the reasons to assemble before paint.
1 foot done, and a cotton bud for scale. I now start wondering where I am gonna store this thing.
Foot/knee assembled and there are still all these pieces left :-/
Waist section with tail? and .... appendage :-/
Here you can see the imperfections that come from injecting this much plastic in red, in one go. Another reason for some paint.
2 legs and a waist
Legs and waist meet side and front skirts. The 'appendage' is quite prominent here. The tail also has to have a stand.
Torso section assembled, there is space in there for a Gundam led that gets rediredted up the neck hole
Attached to lower sections the depth of this kit becomes apparent, big shelf will be needed.
and turn to the front
The bags and part-less trees pile up
Lil weee demonic looking head, clear parts direct light to a mono eye in there
Head attached
Now the wonder that is Bandai's hands. They never cease to amaze.
Couple of twists and you have this
And then you have a fully articulated hand.
Hand, meet arms
Its alive, or at least assembled, or is it
Nope, still all these pieces left.
'Fin Funnels' done
Thats an impressive wingspan.
6 parts just in this gun
Almost as many in the shield.
Because of the mount for his beam axe
Which has 3 clear effect parts
And it is done, it certainly is an impressive figure that has required a new shelf in the cave display cabinet be cleared of stash overflow so he has the room he needs.
Some decals/stickers to applied after the repaint are all that remains.
Assembly guide shows it cleaned up and panel lined, certainly makes a difference.
Finally a pic of it in action against the recently released (in 1/100) Hi-Nu ver Ka
