HG Origin Gundam Marine Type - Together with the standard HG Gundam Ground Type.

Together with the standard HG Gundam Ground Type.

This kit is the Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive HG The Origin Gundam Marine Type. It's a design you won't find anywhere else at first glance — while only a few limb parts are reused from the HG Gundam Ground Type runners, about 80% of it is made up of brand-new parts, making it a genuinely fresh kit.

First off, as you can see from the looks, the color combination is quite flashy — well beyond what you'd typically expect from an average HG kit in terms of color separation. Thanks to the generous parts breakdown and stickers, most of the complex design colors are pulled off really well, giving you an impressive straight build right out of the box. The basic frame is also similar to the HG Gundam Ground Type, so overall articulation is solid and the joint strength is nice and sturdy.

For weapons, you get a deflection beam rifle with a removable underwater rifle cover, plus two beam sabers. The left forearm stores a harpoon gun that can be detached and used separately. The hand anchor stored in the right arm can also be displayed in its deployed state using the included lead wire.

Anyway, this kit has had a reputation as a legendary HG ever since it was released, and the overall build quality is more than solid — so if you're into flashy, colorful kits, this one comes highly recommended. :-)
