HG 1/60 Shining Gundam

The HG 1/60 Shining Gundam by BANDAI HOBBY is a highly posable, large-scale injection-plastic model kit of the iconic mobile suit from the anime series "Mobile Fighter G Gundam." Released in 1994, this kit allows fans to build a detailed representation of the Shining Gundam, the initial main character robot of the series. It is designed for snap assembly, meaning no cement is required, and the parts are molded in color, so painting is not necessary for a complete look, although it can enhance the final appearance.

Key features of this model kit include its ability to transform into Super Mode by swapping the head and opening various parts of the suit. The kit boasts polycapped joints, providing good articulation for dynamic martial arts poses, reflecting the Gundam's fighting style in the anime. The Core Lander, a small craft that docks with the Gundam and acts as a backpack vernier thruster, is also detachable. While some builders have noted that certain parts like the thighs, arm guards, thruster covers, and shoulder armor can be loose, the kit is generally recommended for its aesthetic appeal once posed.

The HG 1/60 Shining Gundam comes with a variety of accessories to recreate memorable scenes and attacks from the series.

Included in the box are:

• Pieces to build the Shining Gundam
• Super Mode head for transformation
• Detachable Core Lander
• 2 Beam sabers (long and short), which can be stored on the side skirt
• 2 Shining Finger Hands
• Giant Shining Finger palm effect part
• Shining Finger Sword effect part, which is clear and features "G Gundam" on the hilt
• Stickers for color correction
• Instruction manual

This model kit is ideal for fans of "Mobile Fighter G Gundam" and Gunpla enthusiasts aged 15 and up who appreciate a large-scale, poseable display piece. It offers a rewarding building experience with its snap-fit construction and provides numerous display options with its interchangeable parts and effect accessories.
