Kit Review

Straight build + Stickers

* Released in 2014, Build Custom Valuable Podthis is a repackaged reissue of that kit,
so most of the review is the same as before — except for the application shots added at the end, so please keep that in mind.

Basically, it's a weapons pack optimized for the HGUC Gyan.

This kit is the 1/144 Option Parts Gunpla 06 (Valuable Pod). It has essentially the same runner layout as the Build Custom Valuable Podreleased back in 2014. It's basically a reissue with only the box art changed — even the manual and application examples are nearly identical. So there's nothing new to cover in this review. As a result, I've reused the original review as-is, but added some new collaboration shots of it applied to other kits.

This kit is optimized for the HGUC Gyan, but thanks to the variety of joint parts and accessories included, it can be used pretty universally with all kinds of HG kits. One thing to note — since this is a repackage of the 2014 kit, it's not directly compatible with the HGUC Gyan Revive from 2016. There may be a bit of modification needed due to the timing difference, so keep that in mind. That said, it's the kind of set that you can pretty much slap onto anything, so if you like the look of it, this seems like a fun and easy accessory kit for just about anyone to enjoy. :-)
