There's a gimmick where the beam naginata spins via a built-in rubber band. Just like winding up a rubber-powered propeller, you twist it one way, let go, and it spins back the other way with a whoosh~.

The shield can be mounted on the back.

Parts for the Gelgoog Cannon are included too.

Basic articulation — only the neck, arms, and feet rotate

Together with SD BB Senshi Sazabi

This is the SD Gelgoog released as BB Senshi No. 15. It achieves a minimal color scheme through two-color molding and seals, and as you'd expect from an old-school SD kit, articulation is simple — just the head, arms, and feet rotate.

It's got a spring-loaded projectile firing gimmick as a basic feature, but as a bonus there's also a unique rubber band gimmick where the hand holding the beam naginata spins around. On top of that, a smiling mono-eye seal is included as an extra, and parts to convert it into the Gelgoog Cannon are provided as well.

It's a solid old-school SD kit that captures the feel of the original mobile suit well enough with just two colors — and in 1999 it was repackaged with a high-mobility backpack and cannon backpack added as G Generation SD Johnny Ridden's Gelgoogso keep that in mind if you're interested :-)
