ENTRY GRADE 1/144 Strike Gundam (Grand Slam Equipment)" is a set product with "Bikkuri? egg", from the "mini Gundam Model Kits".

Let's enjoy this twice-delicious item that allows you to enjoy building plastic models and taking a bath at the same time!

After all, bathing is the first thing to do!

First, let's enjoy a dramatic bath!

Throw the bright orange bath salts into the bath!

The bath balls dissolve while bubbling and fizzing!

...... Oh?

......Whoops!

A capsule containing mini Gundam plastic came out from inside the bath ball!

The bath is thus orange. The inside of the bath is filled with a fresh orange scent.

After this, Editor A immediately took a bath. The citrus aroma made me feel more tired than usual (my personal opinion). It will definitely make you feel refreshed even in the hot summer!

In addition, it also has the effect of preventing skin from drying out.

Now that the mini Gundam plastic model capsules are out of the way, let's get right into the plastic model review!

Coming out of the bus ball are the underwater mobile suits Goon and Zono from "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED". Each package is randomly enclosed, and you won't know what is in it until the bath ball melts!

The capsules are hermetically sealed, so rest assured that the contents will not get wet from the hot water.

Mobil Goon (Sand Yellow)

As you can see from the fact that it was contained in a bath ball, this is a fairly miniature Gundam model kit.

It has a small number of parts and can be removed from the runner with a finger, so it can be completed quickly. Assemble it after getting out of the bath so as not to accidentally pour the parts down the drain!

Here is the finished product.

Mobile Zono (light gray)

These two types come out at random.

ENTRY GRADE 1/144 Strike Gundam (deactivated mode)

ENTRY GRADE 1/144 Strike Gundam" itself has already been released last year, but this is the first time to release the deactivated mode in ENTRY GRADE.

Assembly time is about 20 minutes. Even those who are not accustomed to plastic models can probably assemble it in 30 minutes.

The low-saturation coloring is austere!

Included are a beam rifle and shield.

The rifle and shield ...... are the very essence of the Gundam! This is the Gundam!

The back side of the shield is also detailed well.

The Strike Gundam has this posture!

As expected from ENTRY GRADE, assembly is easy, but the figure is fully movable.

Jumping? Tamago Dramatic Bath Series GUNPLA ENTRY GRADE 1/144 Strike Gundam (with Grand Slam) & mini Gundam Model Kits Mobile Goon (Brown) / Mobile Zono (Green)

mini Gundam Model Kits are the same in structure, only the molding color is different.

Mobile Goon (Brown)

From the back, it looks like this.

From the side.

Both arms and legs are connected with ball joints, so they move surprisingly well.

Mobile Zono (Green)

The arms are movable only up and down.

The mini Gundam Model Kits are only about 30mm in height, but they are packed with "Bandai's amazing mechanism" with fine details and a certain degree of mobility.

ENTRY GRADE 1/144 Strike Gundam (equipped with Grand Slam)

This package includes the regular color Strike Gundam and the original plastic model weapon, the Grand Slam.

Here is the Grand Slam.

There is also a gimmick to fold the blade.

It is huge, more than the height of Strike!

Thanks to its excellent mobility, it can be held in both hands.

It is surprisingly light, so it can also be held in one hand.

Try combining mini Gundam models!

The mini Gunpla come in two colors, but you can combine them to recreate the colors used in the movie.

Mobile Goon

Mobile Zono

Although they come in two colors, the atmosphere of the model is perfectly reproduced.

This item has high play value, and can be assembled, displayed, or reassembled for play.

Let's play with it in combination with the HGCE as well!

As some of you may already know, another key point of the "ENTRY GRADE 1/144 Strike Gundam" is that it can be fitted with various striker packs from the HGCE series!

This time, we tried attaching the Yale Striker from the "HGCE 1/144 Yale Strike Gundam".

Grand Slam is mounted! Since I went through the trouble, I painted the sword blade metallic by the way. This is a recommended process as it can easily improve the completeness of the kit.

Beam rifle of the royal road!

As long as the rear axle hole fits, any striker pack can be equipped, and sword strikers and launcher strikers can also be properly equipped, so why don't you try arranging them on your favorite Strike Gundam?

This summer is likely to be hotter than usual. It would be nice to wash off the sweat in the bath and refresh yourself before making plastic models at .......
