The Freedom Gundam! The Nu Gundam! Sculpted in the latest format G Frame! In-depth review of Bandai's "Mobile Suit Gundam G Frame FA 01" and "Mobile Suit Gundam G Frame FA EX 01"! Shokugan Road Vol. 31

Hello everyone! This is Kariyasu☆, a hobby writer. In this corner, I will be reviewing, remodeling, and playing around with the "Shokugan for Adults" theme. In this 31st issue, we will be looking at the Mobile Suit Gundam G Frame FA 01 and Mobile Suit Gundam G Frame FA EX 01, both of which are currently on sale from Bandai!

The G-Frame series is very popular for its various poses, which can be enjoyed by combining two types: the "Armor Set," which consists of a non-moving hanger and armor parts, and the "Frame Set," which includes a movable frame and extension parts. The G-Frame series has been upgraded and renewed as the "FA (FA)" series!

While maintaining the concept and fun of the previous G Frame, the armor shape and frame design have been improved to make it even cooler and easier to play with!

Mobile Suit Gundam G Frame FA 01

First, let's start with the "G Frame FA01". The commemorative first lineup is..,

Freedom Gundam

Duel Gundam Assault Shroud

Gundam NT-1 Alex

Nu Gundam

The first commemorative lineup was the Freedom Gundam.

Each machine is divided into two types: armor set (armor parts/non-movable hanger parts) and frame set (armament set/movable frame), both of which are pre-colored and can be completed immediately without the need for nippers and glue.

The runner parts can be removed with your fingers, but if it is difficult, you can use nippers.

Paper assembly instructions are not included, and the QR code on the package is used to access the web instruction page. Also note that you can play with the armor set alone, but not with the frame set alone!

In the process of removing the armor from the non-moving hanger. You can feel as if you are actually developing and maintaining the MS!

By the way, when attaching and detaching parts, be careful to use a commercially available parts opener to do so gently and carefully, as forcibly removing parts by force may damage parts or injure your fingers!

The non-movable hanger can be used as a display stand. This can be used to recreate flight scenes and other scenes!

Movable frame assembled and jointed to the display stand. The movable frame has a great range of motion, allowing poses like this to be taken! The flat hand parts included in the armor set can also be replaced with the movable frame!

Here is an introduction of each machine

Freedom Gundam

The frame set includes a movable frame, lupus beam rifle, laminated anti-beam shield, shield joint, and left and right wing parts!

Without movable parts

Below is the state in which the frame set is used.

Balaena Plasma Convergence Beam Cannon deployed

Lupus beam rifle can be mounted on the rear skirt!

High-matte mode can also be reproduced!

Duel Gundam Assault Shroud

Frame set includes movable frame, beam rifle, shield, shield joint for assault shroud equipment, 115mm rail gun [Shiva], parts for Duel Gundam in normal form, and shield joint for Duel Gundam in normal form!

Without movable state

Below, the frame set in use

The hatch of the 220mm 5-round missile pod can be opened and closed!

Shiva" is movable vertically and horizontally!

If you replace the parts, you can also reproduce the Duel Gundam in its normal state!

The back view is also perfect. With the conventional G-frame, the internal frames of the arms and thighs were visible when viewed from behind, which was uncomfortable, but these have been improved in the "FA" version!

Gundam NT-1 Alex.

The frame set includes a beam saber, 90mm Gatling guns for the left and right arms, a beam rifle that does not appear in the play, a shield, and a shield joint!

Without movement

Below is the frame set in use.

The "ALEX" markings are cool!

If you attach the Gatling gun to the arm, you can recreate battle scenes with the Kempfer and Zaku II Kai!

Nu Gundam

The ν Gundam included in the first series "G Frame 01" released in February 2018 has been renewed and revived!

State without moving

Below, the state of frame set use

By reassembling the backpack and adding funnels, it is possible to recreate the "Double Fin Funnel Equipped Type" that appears in video games and other works!

Mobile Suit Gundam G Frame FA EX01 Kempfer & Gundam NT-1 Alex Chobam Armor Set

Next, we introduce the "G Frame FA EX 01"!

This is a high-end series that converts large MS and heavily equipped MS into G-frames with full specifications.

This time, the package includes

Kempfer main body

Giant Buzz × 2

Joint parts for Giant Buzz (left and right)

Beam saber

Shotgun

Shotgun (with stock)

Sturmfaust x2

Joint parts for Sturmfaust x2

Chain Mine

Slap Hand Parts

Chobam Armor Parts for Gundam NT-1 Alex

Folded head antenna parts for Gundam NT-1 Alex

is attached. If you own the Alex G-frame introduced earlier, you can use this set to recreate the battle scene between Alex and Kempfer in "0080," a truly delightful item!

Both Kempfer's beautiful style and heavy armament have been well reproduced. The excitement never stops. ......

The shotgun can be mounted on the waist!

Sturmfurst in use. By the way, the mono eye is also movable, so I moved it a little to the left!

The Giant Buzz can also be held securely. It can also be held at the side, so you can enjoy various poses.

The beam saber is painted in metallic yellow. The chain mine needs to be assembled, but it was fun to make it quickly!

I used the separately sold Shokugan base to recreate the flying state. The prop is a clear part, so you can make the fuselage stand out!

Chobam armor is attached to Alex. This state is also cool!

Lead wires are used for the chain mine, so it can be bent freely! After this, it will explode!

Misha - "Ooooh! What?

If you replace the antenna on the head with the folded one and take apart the chobum armor, you can recreate the famous scene in the movie!

These are the "G Frame FA 01" and "G Frame FA EX 01".

You can play with them by reassembling the parts, repainting them yourself, and the fun is endless. The second model, "FA02," is scheduled for release in June, so we are looking forward to that as well!

See you soon!
