Kit Review

Straight build + panel lining + partial painting

The universal reference point — size comparison with a cigarette box.

The sword on the hip still needs partial painting.

Upper body. Besides the change in molded color, stickers have been added to the shoulder area.

Stickers added to the left leg as well. The missile pod has been changed to green.

Articulation is naturally identical to the standard Mobile Ginn. Excellent leg articulation.

Alongside the existing HG mass-production Mobile Ginn. It's simply a molded color variation.

This is the second entry in the SEED MSV series — Miguel's Mobile Ginn. Miguel is actually a pretty unfortunate character who gets taken out by Kira right at the very start of the anime as the first casualty... and he never actually pilots this custom unit in the show. (Which is exactly why it ended up as an MSV release.)

Basically, Miguel's Ginn is 100% the same kit as the existing Mobile Ginn, just with a different molded color. So the structure, articulation, and all other characteristics are identical to the original Mobile Ginn — for more details, check out the HG Mobile Ginn reviewThe previously drab color scheme has been transformed into a bright and cheerful orange-and-green combo for Miguel's custom unit, and the molded colors look great — it gives off a really vibrant feel. As a little bonus, clear stickers that weren't included with the original Mobile Ginn have been added, meant to go on both shoulders and the left leg.

In the end, just like the HG Mobile Ginn, this is an excellent quality kit with great articulation, solid joints, and solid detail. If the dull color scheme of the original Mobile Ginn put you off, you might find Miguel's Ginn with its bright, cheerful colors a lot more appealing. Either way, for ¥1,000 the value for money is top-notch! ^^
