REVIEW Gundam Universe GNT-0000 00 Qan[T], Bandai

This is review of Bandai Gunpla Gundam Universe GNT-0000 00 Qan[T] from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny series.

Bandai Gundam Universe GNT-0000 00 Qan[T] Review

The figure boasts slimmer proportions compared to Gundam Exia and Gundam 00, with no noticeable omitted colors, resulting in an impressive finished product.

Face and Eyes

While the facial outline is slightly thicker than the anime image, the absence of painted ducts is compensated by the appealing gray ears. Metallic paint accents the eyes and lens parts, providing a polished finish.

Modeling and Colors

The faithful modeling adheres to the basics, showcasing minimal noticeable arrangements. The colors are reproduced as expected, contributing to the figure's overall authenticity.

Waist, Arms, and Legs

Unlike Gundam Exia and Gundam 00, the figure features a more balanced and normal shape around the waist. Asymmetrical arms and the GN shield on the left shoulder add visual interest, and the arms exhibit a high degree of freedom.

Back and GN Sword 5

Equipped with the GN Sword 5, the metallic-painted blade and the option to transform it into a rifle mode provide versatile display options. The GN Shield bit attachment allows for the reproduction of Buster mode.

GN Shield Bit

The GN Shield bit, consisting of two parts (large and small), offers flexibility in display. The completion of Setsuna's machine took approximately two years since the release of Gundam Exia in September 2021.

The figure aligns with the series' common joints, ensuring familiar movement. However, the non-rotating waist can be limiting for dynamic poses, and some concerns about loose weapon handle connections were noted.

Weapon Modes and Defense

Switching between rifle mode and sword mode is possible, though some users experienced loose weapon handles during rifle mode. The shield, in its defensive form, exhibits the blade shape seen in sword mode and buster rifle mode.

Summary

Despite a slightly thick head, the figure's slimmer and toned proportions, coupled with its absence of strange arrangements or omitted colors, contribute to a cool appearance. The pricing is reasonable, considering minor concerns about movement limitations and loose weapon handles. The reproduction of bit gimmicks, albeit simple, adds value. As part of the discounted lineup, the Gundam Universe GNT-0000 00 Qan[T] is recommended for those seeking a satisfactory balance between price and quality.
