Following the Genoace Custom and G-Exes, the G-Bouncer — the Federation ace pilot Wolf's unit — has been released as an HG kit. Like the others, it's an all-white mobile suit, and at first glance it looks similar to the G-Exes, but take a closer look and it's actually a completely different design.

As you'd expect from a modern HG, the overall articulation and joint strength are solid, though the leg articulation is a bit limited due to the design. The Seagull Blade that detaches from the shield is nicely reproduced in clear parts, and along with the knee needle guns, the subtle color combination on the chest is also well represented even in a straight build state through stickers and color separation — so it's a kit that does a pretty faithful job of recreating the source design.

The color scheme is so simple that at a glance it's hard to tell whether it's HG or AG grade... but if you're a fan of Wolf from the show, this is a solid, enjoyable kit well worth building. :-)
