Together with the 1/144 Shining Gundam and Dragon Gundam.

This is the old-release 1/144 Bolt Gundam from the G Gundam series — it's the mobile suit from Neo Russia, and it's got that chunky, wrestler-like design going on.

On the joint strength front, unfortunately the hip joints are loose, just like the early Shining/Dragon Gundam releases. On top of that, the front skirts are articulated but have a very limited range of motion, which means the hips can barely move — so getting good poses out of it is pretty tough.

For weapons, you can remove the shoulder assembly and plug it onto one of two different handle lengths to recreate the Graviton Hammer.

It's an old kit that'll appeal to fans who love small but chunky builds, and much like Gundam Rose, its significance lies in being the only plastic model ever made of the Bolt Gundam. :-)
