HG Gundam Lfrith Jiu - Together with the standard release HG Gundam Lfrith.

Together with the standard release HG Gundam Lfrith.

This is the HG Gundam Lfrith Jiu, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's the mobile suit from the side-story manga "Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury – Vanadis Heart," serialized in Monthly Gundam Ace. The kit's defining feature is its massive forearm-type weapon known as the "Tiger's Hand."

The inner frame reuses existing runners, but the exterior is 100% newly sculpted, giving it a fresh and distinctive look. The system of choosing between two sticker options for the cell units is the same as other HG entries in The Witch from Mercury series. And since the same frame parts are used, it still delivers excellent articulation and joint strength. Beyond the Tiger's Hand, no additional weapons or accessory parts are included.

The star of the show — the Tiger's Hand — is faithfully reproduced, and with the additional joint part, it locks onto the forearm nice and securely. The fingers on the Tiger's Hand articulate all the way to the middle knuckle, letting you pose them in a natural hand shape. And if you pick up the separately sold Weapon Display Base, you can even display it in a launched/separated state.

It's a kit that's a lot of fun to pose thanks to that unique Tiger's Hand — there's plenty of entertaining poses to try out. Build quality is solid enough that if the design appeals to you, go ahead and grab it without hesitation. :-)
