This kit is the 1/144 Option Parts Gunpla 16 (Meteor Hopper). It's essentially the same runner configuration as the Build Custom Meteor Hopperreleased back in 2013. It's a reissue with only the box art changed, and the manual and sample build are over 90% identical to the original. 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 new collaboration shots that I took fresh.

The Meteor Hopper is a bike-style flying mecha that can carry most HG kits. It naturally pairs well with the HG Wing Gundam Fenice, but really you can freely combine it with just about any HG kit without much restriction.

As a ride-on mecha, it delivers a decent level of HG-grade quality. Think of it as just a kit that's been reissued after a long while — if you like the look of it, it seems like a pretty solid item to have some fun with :-)
