Straight build

When the NEMO, unearthed (?) by the Unicorn magic, got its HGUC release as the Unicorn version, the way the parts were divided up made it pretty clear that a normal version (Zeta Gundam version) would likely follow. Sure enough, not long after, the original NEMO got its own HGUC release as a natural color variation. ^^

The body is structurally 100% identical to the Unicorn version, but since the color combination is completely different, some parts had to be rearranged on the runners, so the runner layout looks different. And since the beam rifle is an entirely different piece, once you actually build it, the colors are so different that it somehow feels surprisingly fresh — even for a color variant kit. ^^;

Since the body is completely identical, there's nothing new to look at on that front — but as you'd expect from a modern kit, it delivers solid joint strength, clean color separation, and decent articulation that makes for a satisfying build. It may be a color variant kit, but above all, the fact that the original NEMO finally got an HGUC release is genuinely exciting in its own right. Either way, this is a NEMO that owes its existence to Unicorn, so if you're an old-school fan who loves the Universal Century, this is a great kit you'll definitely enjoy building. :-)
