Bandai Gunpla EG 1/144 Lah Gundam Review

In celebration of the Gundam Build Divers 10th anniversary, the EG (Entry Grade) Lah Gundam emerges from the Gundam Build Metaverse, featuring prominently in the commemorative video. Priced at 1,100 yen, this kit introduces a unique blend of simplicity and customization to the Gunpla world.

Kit Contents and Customization: A Fresh Take on EG Gundam

The EG Lah Gundam kit includes essential accessories like the Beamler Rifle, Larshield, Beamler Naginata, Rifle Type 2 parts, and Backpack for Type 2. Remarkably, the absence of stickers enhances the model's authenticity. While it inherits parts from the EG Gundam, a new D Runner contributes to its distinctive design.

Rio, the builder from Gundam Build Metaverse, crafts this Gunpla masterpiece. The customization focuses on key areas like the head, backpack, shoulder armor, waist front armor, and knee armor. Striking a balance between maximizing the base machine's fundamentals and minimal customization, Lah Gundam offers a unique touch to the Build Metaverse series.

Visual Details and Color Scheme: Attention to Authenticity

The Lah Gundam faithfully reproduces the color scheme of EG Gundam, with meticulous attention to detail. However, some parts require additional painting, such as the vulcan on the head, yellow on the knee ducts, and black on specific armor sections.

Articulation and Movement: Striking a Pose

The model's articulation closely mirrors the EG Gundam, offering a wide range of motion. While the legs exhibit excellent ground contact, caution is advised during painting to prevent interference with protruding parts.

Weapons and Equipment: Arming Up the Lah Gundam

Armed with the Beamler Rifle and Ra Shield, Lah Gundam stands ready for battle. The inclusion of a 3mm axis stand adds versatility, allowing for dynamic posing.

The Beamler Rifle, with its custom scope, adds a dynamic flair. The scope, while swingable, requires careful assembly, with options for a 2-type rifle configuration. Painting is necessary for the scopes, as stickers are not provided.

Connecting the Ra Shield to the backpack's grip forms a Beam Lanaginata, complete with a red clear part for added vibrancy. The Ra Shield's half-type design enhances maneuverability, presenting a versatile defensive option.

Size Comparison and Final Thoughts: A Standard in Build Metaverse

In a size comparison with HGBF Build Strike and HGBD Earthree Gundam, Lah Gundam maintains a standard size based on the RX-78 Gundam. This EG variant brings a quick assembly experience, devoid of stickers, making it an exciting addition to the Build Metaverse series.

Comparison with EG Gundam: Spotting the Differences

Although Lah Gundam maintains similarities with EG Gundam, certain parts, notably the head and shoulders, showcase noticeable changes. Despite these alterations, the overall balance of proportions remains consistent.

Summary

Conclusively, the EG Lah Gundam proves to be a compelling choice, offering simplicity, customization, and a unique perspective on the celebrated Build Divers universe. As the Build Metaverse series unfolds, anticipation builds for the diverse array of upcoming releases.
