The largest beam part can be spread open in the middle or have additional beam parts plugged in, as shown above.

The rear armor can be spread open like that too.

The GN Binder moved to the back and deployed.
Even more flashy and cool than the original Qan[T].

The only extra hand included is a single open left hand.

Leftover parts

The articulation is the same as the original Qan[T].

Together with the HG 00 Qan[T].

As part of the Gundam Build Fighters Try lineup, the HGBF Gundam OO Shia QAN[T] has been released, based on the 00 Qan[T]. It reuses the frame and main armor parts from the existing HG Qan[T], but with the exterior color changed to green and some armor pieces redesigned. The biggest highlight is the GN Binder, which has been given a brand-new design.

While the base body keeps the same design concept as the Qan[T], the newly styled GN Binder loaded with more elaborate beam parts really gives it the feel of a whole new kit. The beam parts themselves are carried over from the HG Transient Gundam, but their placement and configuration are different enough that they come across as completely new. The ability to swing the GN Binder around to the back and deploy it — just like the original Qan[T] — is also reproduced here, and you can similarly detach the beam parts from the GN Binder and use them as weapons.

Since the HG 00 Qan[T] was already a kit with solid joint strength and excellent articulation, this kit naturally delivers the same satisfying level of quality in its base body. On top of that, the fresh, renewed-feeling design and the impressive action poses it can pull off make it feel like an even more worthwhile release.

As an MSV-style take on the Qan[T] — a unit with its own distinct personality even within the Gundam universe — this is a great HG kit with top-notch base quality that pretty much anyone can enjoy to the fullest. :-)
