This kit comes with a large number of clear beam parts.

You can combine multiple parts to recreate vernier thruster effect parts in two different sizes.

Effect parts for use with the beam saber.

To use with the Ninpulse Gundam,
lower the mask and plug the beam saber into the mouth.

After a full year, a new Build Custom kit has arrived — the Ninpulse Beams. True to its name, these are special beam parts designed for the Ninpulse Gundam, and the whole thing is made up of high-quality clear soft parts. The parts also make great use of slide molds and runner guides, so even individual pieces have a solid sense of depth to them.

When used with the HG Ninpulse Gundam, you lower the face mask and have it bite down on the beam saber, and you can also attach additional beam parts to the forearms. These beam parts can be combined by plugging elongated beam pieces into two different sizes of mounting points, each at different angles — and as you can see in the review photos above, they're actually quite versatile and can be used with a variety of HG kits.

The quality of these clear soft parts is excellent, but they're so transparent that they can be hard to see against a bright background. That's why the review photos were taken with a dark cutting mat placed behind them.

Anyway, if your goal is to recreate action scenes with the Ninpulse Gundam, this is a decent enough recommendation — though it does feel like an accessory kit that's a bit lacking in value for the price. :-)
