Kit Review

Straight build + Stickers

* A Build Custom released in 2018 Binder GunThis is a reissue repackaging of that kit,
so most of the review is the same as before, except for the application shots added at the end — please keep that in mind.

This kit is the 1/144 Option Parts Gunpla 17 (Binder Gun). It's basically the same runner configuration as the Build Custom Binder Gun released in 2018. It's a reissue with only the box art changed, and the manual and sample builds 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.

The Binder Gun is a combination weapon made up of blade parts and gun parts, and it can be attached to most HG kits without much trouble. In fact, the bulk of this kit consists of a large number of joint parts. Using these joint parts, you can combine and mount various weapons onto your Gunpla — so if you're into Gunpla kitbashing, these parts are actually pretty handy.

All in all, it's an accessory model kit made up of a modest amount of weapons and a whole lot of joint parts. For those who collect a lot of HG kits, it seems like a reasonably useful item to have around. :-)
