The long rifle gets in the way, so there aren't many poses you can pull off ^^;

G-Defenser

Underside view

The G-Defenser's moving parts are actually pretty well done.

The long rifle's sink marks are something else.. OTL

The escape cockpit capsule can be detached too.

To dock with the G-Defenser, you need to remove the backpack cover.

Together with the MG / HGUC Super Gundam.

Following the Gundam Mk-II Titans version, a Super Gundam based on the AEUG version has now been released as a BB Senshi. The body is of course identical to the Titans version with only the molded color changed — and rather cheaply, the Super Gundam has had its weapons like the Mk-II rifle and shield dropped from the lineup.. (How much could they possibly save!)

The biggest highlight of this kit is the G-Defenser's gimmicks. Small as it is, the G-Defenser's signature side binder articulation is pulled off pretty convincingly, and the escape cockpit capsule at the front can be detached too. On top of the Super Gundam configuration, it can also combine into G-Flyer form — it's super chubby, but that just makes it all the more adorable. ^^;

Looking at just the Mk-II body, the Titans version feels a bit tougher and cooler, but the Super Gundam's unique bulkiness has its own charm. Sure, the long rifle's rather impressive(...) sink marks are hard to ignore, and the overall quality feels a touch rougher compared to other higher-end BB Senshi kits.. but there's something meaningful about seeing even a special item like this get the SD treatment. :-)
