Includes the Amazing Weapon Binder, which is also sold separately.

You can store all kinds of weapons inside the binder.

The Amazing Rifle is recreated through cross-combining a total of 4 parts.

You can combine them into either the short Amazing Rifle or the elongated Amazing Long Range Rifle.

You can also detach the grip section and use it as the Amazing Pistol.

The little Amazing Knife can be mounted on the side.

You can also combine the two binders using a separate handle part.

Some parts from the original HGUC Kampfer are left over as leftover parts.

Articulation is the same as the HGUC Kampfer.

The 8th entry in the Gundam Build Fighters HG lineup is the Kampfer Amazing, a customized Kampfer. It's a kit that takes the original HGUC Kampfer, changes the molded color to a deep navy blue, redesigns the shoulders and leg sections with new tooling, and bundles in the separately sold Amazing Weapon Binder.

Since the base body — the HGUC Kampfer — is a solid kit to begin with, it's got that clean, satisfying straight build feel you'd expect from a modern HGUC release. On top of that, the redesigned design elements give it a fresh take on the Kampfer, and with the versatile Amazing Weapon Binder thrown in, the overall package feels pretty darn good.

The two Amazing Rifles in different lengths and the Amazing Knife can all be stored inside the large binder, and they can be combined and separated in various ways for action poses. Thanks to all these weapons, the Kampfer — which used to have that round, Patlabor-ish look — feels a lot more like a proper Gunpla now.

All in all, it's a spin-off HG kit that's genuinely fun to build in a lot of ways. Unlike the old GPB (Gunpla Builders) lineup that just reused existing base kits as-is, the Build Fighters lineup always manages to include newly tooled modification parts, which really sets it apart. The design also avoids feeling childish — it has more of an MSV vibe that blends in naturally, so even a Universal Century die-hard like me can have a good time with it. ^^

Anyway, the kit quality and overall package are satisfying, so if the style appeals to you, it's a great kit worth picking up for fun. :-)
