REVIEW Mobile Suit Ensemble 02, Bandai

The following is a review of Mobile Suit Ensemble 02, a action figure released by Bandai based on the original model of the Gundam series.

Mobile Suit Gundam Mobile Suit Ensemble 02 Review

GN-0000 00 Gundam

Following the 1st bullet in December, 2 bullets will be resold. Since it is 2 bullets, it is quite old, but the modeling and joints are almost the same as now, and clear parts are also used and it looks good. GN Sword 2 can be stored in the waist.

GN Sword 2 can be switched between rifle mode and sword mode. It was impossible to fold the grip on the stone, only by changing the direction and position of the blade.

GNR-010 0 Raiser

This is also a lineup to match the 00. Perhaps because the volume is modest, there is a joint that comes with the weapon set described later. The MS3 machine has a pedestal, but it wasn't here. The 00 riser can be reproduced by combining it with the 00 Gundam.

The combination was a simple procedure of attaching binders to both shoulders, reassembling the main body and inserting it into the back. The binder can be rotated.

RX-0 Gundam Unicorn 02 Banshee (Destroy mode)

Following the first unicorn, Banshee is also in the lineup. Like other three-dimensional objects, it is diverted except for the antenna and the arm door armor of both hands.

RGM-79 GM

This is a diversion of some Gundam such as arms and legs. The greenish color peculiar to the GM is also reproduced, and the visor looks good with clear parts. The shield is the same. Since the hole positions and sizes are almost the same series, it can be easily combined with the 0 Raiser.

MS weapon set

As with the first bullet, the weapons and joints of each machine are included in the set. The GN Sword 3 and missile unit can be attached to the 0 Raiser. GN Sword 3 can also be held by the double 0 Raiser.

It was quite voluminous because it took 3 capsules to make it in this state. GN Sword 3 was not reproduced up to the blue part, but the blade is a clear part. The blade is movable and can be deployed as it is.

Armor Armor XC and DE can be attached to Banshee and can be made into Banshee Norn. The Armor Armor DE could also be mounted on the back.

Movability and Articulation

The joints are made in the same way as usual, so the movements are the same. The shoulder has been improved recently, but since this is a resale, it remained the old model.

A flat hand is also included in the weapon set. GN Sword 3 was quite powerful because it was large. The shoulders may interfere with the binder, but you can also pose as if you were hoisting them overhead. Since the binder is movable, the riser sword can also be reproduced.

Banshee arm door armor of both arms did not have a deployment gimmick. Replaced with Bansinorun using the parts of the weapon set. The mount on the back is also reproduced, making it solid.

GM is a little comical and cute finish. Like the previous Zaku, it seemed fun to display multiple pieces side by side.

Summay

That was the review of Mobile Suit Gundam Mobile Suit Ensemble 02. If you're collecting a series, you definitely want to have a 00 riser, so I'm grateful that you resold the 2nd bullet after the 1st bullet.

Although the finished product is quite early, the level of modeling painting is almost the same as it is now, and all MSs are finished in a good shape, especially the 00 riser is as complete as expected, and Banshee is also combined with the weapon set.

The gimmicks were solid and worth playing, and the GM was also charming and highly satisfying.
