Club G MG

Gundam Stormbringer P.F.

Kit Review

Straight build + Stickers

This kit is the MG Gundam Stormbringer P.F., released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Using the Club G release of the MG Gundam Stormbringer F.A.
(Fatal Ash)
/ GM Turbulence
as the base, two large newly-tooled runners have been added to the lineup. On top of that, the MG GM Dominance
(Philip Hughes Custom)
large Gatling gun has also been added.

The basic inner frame and main armor are identical to the Gundam Stormbringer FA, with only the molded colors changed. New parts have been applied to the head antenna, shoulders, abdomen, side skirts, leg armor, and the shield cover of the twin beam cannon. Add to that the large Gatling gun from the GM Dominance Philip Hughes Custom mounted on the left arm, and the P.F. (Phantom Fang) design is complete. Between the color change and the new design elements sprinkled throughout, it feels like a Stormbringer that's taken on a whole different personality from what came before.

The inner frame itself is based on the MG GM Sniper, which in turn is built on the MG Gundam 2.0 frame, so all the articulation characteristics carry over identically. Overall it shows off an excellent frame and great articulation, but the weak shoulder joints are still there too. That makes it tough to hold a large, heavy weapon like the big beam Gatling gun out horizontally. Every other joint is generally solid — it's just the shoulders that are noticeably weak, which is a bit of a letdown for this body.

Beyond that, the added armor pieces and newly sculpted parts are all well up to MG quality standards, and the GM Turbulence head is thrown in as a bonus. Interestingly, the beam sabers are molded in black, which gives them a uniquely cool look.

So while it goes well beyond a simple color variant thanks to the many new parts, it carves out its own distinct identity. The sleek styling and expanded armament give it a more imposing presence than previous Stormbringers. Put simply, it's a kit that just *works* — great design, great visuals — and aside from those weak shoulder joints, there's really not much to complain about. It's a high-quality MG kit through and through. Bottom line: if you're after something that just looks awesome, and the style speaks to you, don't hesitate — just go for it :-)
