SD Heavy Weapon Captain Gundam - Together with Captain Gundam from the SD Gundam Force series

Together with Captain Gundam from the SD Gundam Force series

This kit is the Heavy Weapon Captain Gundam released as part of the SD Gundam Force series. A separate Captain Gundam was released under the SD Gundam Force line, while this kit belongs to the BB Senshi original lineup. True to the BB Senshi name, it's an upgraded take on Captain Gundam with the heavy weapons thrown in on top.

First off, the molded colors give it a pretty sharp, refined look, and the sculpt has a nice solid, weighty feel to it. The limbs are connected with two-way ball-joint polycaps, which allows for reasonably flexible articulation — though they do tend to pop off during posing. As a bonus feature, you can rearrange the heavy weapon armor onto the main body to transform it into Gun Vehicle Mode.

This is a massive upgrade over the simple Captain Gundam kit from the SD Gundam Force line, and with the heavy weapon gear on top of that, it's pretty much a must-have BB Senshi kit for any Gundam Force fan. :-)
