Kit Review

Straight build + Stickers

* A Build Custom released in 2014 Gunpla Battle Arm ArmsThis 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 — just a heads up.

This kit is the 1/144 Option Parts Gunpla 13 (Gunpla Battle Arm Arms). It's basically the same as the Build Custom released in 2018, Gunpla Battle Arm Armswith identical runner configuration. It's a reissue with only the box art changed — the manual and sample builds are over 90% the same as before. So there's really nothing new to cover in this review. As a result, I've reused the original review as-is, but added a few newly shot collaboration photos.

First off, this is one of the most generously packed option parts kits in the Gunpla lineup. Weapons include an axe, sword, Booster, missile launcher, and more, along with a variety of arms and joint parts. Put it all together and you get a single aircraft-like combined form, and thanks to all those joint parts, it can be applied to most HG kits in all sorts of configurations.

It's a bit of a scattered set overall, but the variety of uses is definitely its strong point. It's essentially been reissued after 10 years, and if this kind of thing is your style, it seems like a fun little option parts kit to enjoy. :-)
