REVIEW HG 1/144 MSM-04G Juaggu [Ver. MSV], Premium Bandai

This is review of P-Bandai Gunpla HG 1/144 MSM-04G Juaggugu [Ver. MSV] from Mobile Suit Gundam MSV series.


P-Bandai Gunpla HGUC 1/144 MSM-04G Juaggugu [Ver. MSV] Review

The MSM-04G Juaggugu [Ver. MSV] adds a touch of variation to the Juaggu line, now available as a Premium Bandai exclusive. In this review, we delve into the details of this unique kit, exploring its features and noting some improvements over the standard version.


Packaging and Instructions

As a Premium Bandai exclusive, the packaging of the MSM-04G Juaggugu [Ver. MSV] is straightforward. Inside, the instructions focus solely on the unicorn version, provided on a single sheet of paper. Additionally, the inclusion of foil stickers supplements details such as the muzzle, nose, and hands, resembling the unicorn version.


Marking Stickers and Wish for Water Transfer Decals

A noteworthy addition is a new marking sticker, enhancing the kit's aesthetics. However, being a sticker, precision in application requires neatly cutting the margins. Given its MSV nature, a desire for water transfer decals is expressed, elevating customization possibilities.


MSV Compliance and Color Palette

The MSV compliance brings changes to both arms, with the right adopting a Z'Gok type arm and the left transforming into a large caliber rocket. The color scheme, featuring a dark brown hue reminiscent of Acguy, adds a realistic touch to the overall appearance.


Articulation and Mono-Eye Features

Articulation improvements are evident, with movable points in the elbows and wrists. The Monoeye, represented with a sticker, is movable, and the Mono-Eye Shield adds a subtle layer of detail with a printed scale.


New Components and Weapons

Introducing the Z'Gok arm and large caliber rocket, the kit offers movable points in the elbows and wrists. However, the noticeable cutout in the handle detracts from its aesthetics. The inclusion of a heat knife, resembling a Gouf's heat saber, is a welcome addition.


Constructive Feedback and Final Impressions

While the kit's assembly is straightforward, the color-coding omission in certain parts requires additional attention to detail. The lead wire mechanism for the movable nose introduces a noticeable gap when bent. The absence of a more comprehensive instruction manual, limited to Acguy color, leaves room for improvement. A wish for sturdier wrists and examples of the MSV version's potential enhancements concludes the review.


Comparison with Normal Juaggu

A brief comparison with the standard Juaggu emphasizes the minimal changes in appearance, with the arms being the primary distinguishing feature.


Summary

The HGUC Juaggu (Ver.MSV) retains its bulky charm with subtle modifications. The simplicity of its parts facilitates an enjoyable assembly process, yet the review underscores the potential for further refinement in future releases.
