OLD MSV

1/60 MS-14C Gelgoog Cannon

Release 1983.9
Price ¥3,000

Straight build + wet decals

The first kit in the old 1/60 MSV lineup is the Gelgoog Cannon. It reuses the body of the existing 1/60 Gelgoog as-is with just a molded color change, with cannon pack parts added on top. On top of that, verniers have been added inside the rear skirt and inside the legs as well.

The basic body construction is the same, but compared to the 1/60 Gelgoog, the joint strength feels improved — it seems like the joint tolerances were tightened up. The original Gelgoog's joints felt a bit wobbly, probably due to its sheer size, but the MSV 1/60 Gelgoog Cannon's joints are noticeably tighter. That makes posing easier, though being an old-style kit, the articulation is still pretty grim, so the range of poses you can pull off remains limited.

At the end of the day, this kit is more about the experience of building a massive 1/60 scale Gelgoog Cannon than about articulation — and for old-school fans, it's a large Gunpla that offers pretty solid value for money. :-)
