The original Core Gundam found in the Earthtree and other PLANETS kits was an incredible little High Grade beast, which was fun both with and without armor. The Core Gundam II visually upgrades the design, and it looks fantastic, but it isn't without its issues. The waist is unbearably loose, and the joints tend to lose their grip easily. On top of this, the half-jet sticking out of its back looks awkward in both modes, and functions much better as a shield. The Uraven armor itself is fairly solid, especially with its multiple remote bits. Overall, Core Gundam is great no matter what, but I say that the Earthtree Gundam is a more solid package.
