The head. Quite a few stickers go on here.

The left hand just assists...? The left hand is fixed at a 90-degree bend to hold the rifle.

A large sticker goes on the knee.

Verniers on the rear end

Dynames' highlight — the GN Sniper Rifle

That classic FG 90-degree bend articulation. Compared to the No Grade though... ^^;

Because of the fixed skirt — one of the FG grade's defining traits — the range of leg movement is severely limited..;

Both shoulders swing forward and back. Looks like this feature is going to be on all the FG kits.

The rifle can also be mounted on the shoulder.

The skirt is fixed, but if you force the legs out to the side, it does fold a bit.
This is only possible because Gundam Dynames has no side skirts.

You can pull out the secondary grip on the side of the rifle, bend it 90 degrees, and plug it back in.

Gundam Dynames' signature pose. It's a sniper-type MS, after all.

Mounted on the universal Action Base 2

Together with FG Exia.

Dynames was released alongside FG Exia. Just like its sniping scene in episode 1, it's a sniper-type MS armed with the GN Sniper Rifle. The color scheme and design somehow give off a similar vibe to the Buster Gundam from SEED — and it does seem to fill a pretty similar role in many ways.

The basic characteristics are the same as FG Exia — just think of it as a different design. That said, the parts are a bit more substantial in volume, so it's priced at ¥600, which is ¥100 more than FG Exia.

Unlike the No Grade, elbow and knee articulation up to 90 degrees is standard here, but since the skirt is fixed, there's a clear limit to how high the legs can go. On the flip side, since there are no side skirts, if you angle the legs out to the side a bit before raising them, you can get a decent pose out of it.

Dynames' signature pose is of course holding the sniper rifle with both hands in a sniping stance, and that pose in particular comes out looking pretty convincing. For an FG grade kit, I'd say that's a passing mark. ^^

It's definitely a step up from the No Grade, but clearly a step below HG — still, the value for the price seems pretty solid. ^^
