The GN Sword IV Full Saber — the highlight of this kit

When used in Full Saber mode, the handle can be pulled out from inside.

You can also separate it as shown above and use it as a variety of different weapons.

Insert the handle into the main blade unit to use it in GN Katar mode.

The three GN Gunblades can be used in blade mode (top) or gun mode (bottom).

Combine two GN Gunblades and you get the Twin Edge.

You can attach the gun mode unit to the main blade unit and use it like a handle.

Reassembled as a whole, configured in GN Launcher mode

All of the new weapons' handles have holes in them, so they lock securely onto the pegs in the palm.

A clear stand is included to support the large GN Sword IV.

A GN Drive stand is also included, just like before.

It's also possible to insert a separately sold LED into the GN Drive.

Once the armor is on, the opening is so small that the light barely shows through.
If you dim the room lighting, light leaks out from the sides and you can just about see a reflected glow inside the GN Shield.

Articulation is the same as the existing Qan[T].

Straight build

After a while, the 00 Qan[T] Full Saber has arrived as a new entry in the MG 00 series lineup. You might wonder if it's a bit late to the party, but the set adds the GN Sword IV Full Saber and a clear stand on top of the existing MG Qan[T]. Content-wise, it feels like it could've been a side release along the lines of Club G, the MG Avalanche Exia Dash, or the XN Raiser — but it seems Bandai was confident enough in the sales potential to release it as a proper mainline MG.

The base body reuses almost all of the existing MG Qan[T] runners — the molded colors, decals, and even the seal designs and placement are carried over as-is, so there's very little that feels new. That said, the head antenna have been made a bit sharper, and a mount has been added to the backpack for the new weapon. Since this review focuses specifically on the newly added GN Sword IV Full Saber rather than covering the base body and existing weapons again, please check out the MG 00 Qan[T] reviewfor details on the Qan[T] itself.

The newly added GN Sword IV Full Saber is packed with a variety of gimmicks worthy of the MG line — it looks spectacular. The large Full Saber mode can be separated into a main blade unit and three GN Gunblades, which can then be recombined into a whole range of configurations: rifle, gun, blade, GN Katar, Twin Edge, GN Launcher mode, and more. All of the weapon handles have locking holes that peg securely into the palm pegs, so even holding the large Full Saber, poses stay stable — grip strength is more than satisfying. A clear stand is included to help support the weight of this big weapon, but honestly it's sturdy enough to hold most poses without it. ^^

The MG Qan[T] base body was already a kit that was easy to handle, with top-tier articulation and a great balance of joint strength — and now with all the existing weapons plus the large GN Sword IV Full Saber added on top, posing it is an absolute blast. There are a few parts that tend to fall off during handling — like the lower side skirt armor — but the wide range of motion and solid joint retention make it easy to forgive.

At the end of the day, it's a simple option-add variation so it doesn't feel particularly fresh, but visually, in terms of articulation, and in terms of durability, it's come out as a top-tier, exemplary MG. If you're a fan of 00 and love flashy kits, this is one I'd highly recommend — a very satisfying kit. :-)

* The scoring system used only for MG has been carried over from First 1.0 twenty years ago,
so applying it uniformly even to the latest kits — whose quality has leveled up across the board — is honestly a bit ambiguous.
Since it's just my personal take and can't clearly capture the differences in kit quality over the years,
please don't read too much into it and just use it as a loose reference.
(For kits scoring above 100, take it to mean the quality is much better than kits of the past.)
