The Jegan Blast Master is the 15th kit in the HG Build Divers lineup. As the name suggests, it's based on the HGUC Jegan, combined with the Satellite Cannon from Gundam Double X. It's the kind of mashup the Build series is known for, though it's a bit of an unbalanced combination.

The base body is nearly identical to the HGUC Jegan, so it still delivers solid articulation and sturdy joint strength. The shoulders get an anti-ship beam cannon gimmick, the soles of the feet get GN Cannons, and the torso armor has been redesigned. The style and gimmick of the Satellite Cannon added to the back are almost identical to Gundam Double X's — even the look of holding the Satellite Cannons up over both shoulders with the reflectors deployed is pretty much the same. That said, due to the joint structure, getting the right angle for the hands to grip the Satellite Cannon is tricky, so posing isn't exactly easy.

Beam saber hilts are included behind the Satellite Cannon, but no beam effect parts are provided. As for separate weapons, one rifle is included. Deploy all the weapons and point the feet forward, and you can set it up in a kind of all-weapons-firing Full Blast Mode.

Anyway, the combination feels a bit off and the overall look is hard to call truly cool — personally, it gives me a sense that the design team might be running low on ideas. That said, the build quality itself isn't bad, so if this style is your thing, it's a decent enough kit to enjoy. :-)
