Maybe it's because she's a feminine-type, but it's quite a petite little kit.

The beam ribbons are attached like stickers and need to be peeled off one by one — but once you peel them off, the stickiness is gone.
A total of 5 beam ribbons are included.

A milky clear general-purpose 1/144 stand is included.

5 hand types in total.

The articulation itself is pretty average.

With a slight pose change.
Every time you shift the arm position, the beam ribbons take on a whole new shape in different directions.

A separate base for fixing the beam ribbons to the ground is also included.

Being from the same series, the color scheme and design concept are very similar — as you'd expect.

It's a stretch to call it a feminine Gundam, but..
Here it is alongside the hair-sporting Gundam Nadleeh.

Straight build

Nobell Gundam, one of the most iconic feminine-type Gundams, has made its way into the HG lineup. This feminine Gundam from Mobile Fighter G Gundam has a more than charming design, yet it seems to have taken quite a while to get a modern-quality release.

First off, as you'd expect from a modern kit, the color separation and build feel are very clean, and it comes out looking sharp with narrow shoulders and a slender, feminine silhouette. The articulation itself isn't anything spectacular, but even with minimal posing effort, that signature feminine look comes through nicely — and since it's a small, lightweight kit, joint strength isn't an issue either. In a word, the overall impression of this kit is "pretty" ^^

The beam ribbons in particular are made from a special material and not only are they great quality, but you get a whopping 5 of them — so you can naturally recreate all kinds of different poses. On top of that, a milky clear 1/144 general-purpose stand is included, which lets you put together a really eye-catching display alongside the beam ribbons. You don't even have to try that hard — just put them in her hands and they'll naturally fall into a gorgeous beam ribbon action pose all on their own.

Even if you're not particularly into Mobile Fighter G Gundam.. this is a kit that's charming enough just for its unique look alone. With its clean and solid build quality, satisfying feel in hand, and a great variety of effective accessories, this is a fun kit I'd highly recommend to any Gunpla fan. For those who've been waiting for a Nobell Gundam, this is absolutely a masterpiece that lives up to the hype! :-)
