Kit Review

Straight build
+ panel lining

The universal benchmark — size comparison with a cigarette pack

The design is pretty simple~.

Two heads are included, and each can be built with either the grunt-type or commander-type head antenna,
so you end up with a total of four possible head combinations.

With the Gelgoog Cannon, parts that were non-functional on the previous Char's Gelgoog kit have been put to use.
To attach the cannon pack, you need to remove the cover on the back,
and in exchange, a part has been added to store the beam saber handle on the rear skirt.

Comparison with the MG Gelgoog mass production type.
The MG Gelgoog Cannon came bundled as a dual kit with Johnny Ridden's unit, so...
the colors were way off, so I just plopped the cannon pack onto the mass production type for the comparison ^^;
The molded colors feel quite different.

HGUC Gelgoog/Gelgoog Cannon - The MG Gelgoog mass production type had those distinctive verniers added to the rear skirt that

The MG Gelgoog mass production type had those distinctive verniers added to the rear skirt that looked really cool,
but the HGUC shows the same plain skirt as the previous Char's unit.

The cannon pack detail is at roughly the same level. The design concept is the same too.

Together with the HGUC Char's Gelgoog.
The Gelgoog variations have finally begun~ ^^

Straight build shots. Given the color, the difference with and without panel lining isn't that dramatic.

The HGUC Gelgoog variations we all expected have finally kicked off.
First up is naturally the mass production Gelgoog — and as a bonus, it also
lets you build it as the Gelgoog Cannon. That's why the parts and runners
have increased, bumping the price up ¥100 compared to Char's unit.
Given how many extra parts are included, honestly ¥100 more feels
like a bargain. ^^

As you'd expect, the body is identical except for the molded color,
with only the head being slightly different in structure. True to its mass
production nature, you can choose between the grunt-type and commander-type
heads, and since the Gelgoog Cannon head is also included separately,
you can recreate a total of four different head configurations.

In the MG line, the Gelgoog Cannon was bundled with Johnny Ridden's Gelgoog,
making a paint job essentially mandatory — so it's a relief that the HGUC
lets you build a proper mass production Gelgoog Cannon straight out of the box.
That said, unlike Char's unit, the MG mass production Gelgoog had a nice
service where the rear skirt was swapped out for a cooler-looking one,
but in the HGUC, Char's version and the mass production type are completely
identical in that regard;; The HGUC molded color is noticeably darker and
richer compared to the MG, and aside from the gate marks being a bit
visible on this color, the overall feel and tone of the molded color
seems pretty decent.

Above all, the base HGUC Gelgoog itself is an exceptionally satisfying,
high-quality kit, so this one also boasts excellent articulation and
solid joint strength. The options are plentiful too, which makes it
all the more fun — this kind of reuse of a high-quality kit is
more than welcome! It's still a blast to build again and again. :-)
