Review

This is the finished [HG Metaverse] “GUNDAM OO DIVER ARC” . This is the Gunpla used by Riku-kun, who appears in the first episode of “Gundam Build Metaverse,” and has AGE-style designs added to various parts, such as the GN Daidal Cannon. Clear parts made of light-concentrating resin can be attached to the drive unit etc. to reproduce the effect of emitting light on its own.

The kit is based on the 00-diver that Riku-kun first assembled, and the head and arc drive units on both shoulders are newly sculpted. The red component is gone and the overall coloring is similar to AGE-FX.

Alongside the 00 Diver with Diver Ace unit. The original model is 00 Gundam from the HGOO series, so the range of motion is wide overall.

The head is a new model except for the clear parts on the sides. The gray part of the mask is divided into parts, and the twin eyes and forehead sensor come with metallic stickers, but they are divided into small parts like the HG Witch of Mercury series.

The chest area of ​​the torso has been newly sculpted, and the chest duct and GN Daidal Cannon have been added. The belly beam muzzle can be color-coded with stickers.

The backpack is also newly made and features two-axis type hard points like the 00 Diver. There are fins on the left and right, so if you leave it as is, you won’t be able to attach a Diver Ace unit, etc., but the fin parts were designed to be removable.

The top of the backpack swings out and allows you to attach GN Burst clear parts.

A newly designed arc drive unit that can be detached and used as a weapon. The claw-shaped part can be opened and closed using a ball shaft, and clear parts made of light-concentrating resin can be attached. The base is connected to the backpack by a ball-axis arm, and the unit connection part also rotates, allowing for flexible movement.

GN Burst was inspired by AGE-FX’s FX Burst. Reproduce by attaching light-concentrating resin clear parts to the unit with the claw open.

GN drive. The GN particle light emitting part is color coded with 3D metallic stickers.

The shape of the forearm to which the Arc Blazer is attached has changed, and the shaft pin has been modeled.

The GN capacitors in various parts of the aircraft were normal clear parts, not light-concentrating resin.

The contents of the hand parts are the same as 00 Diver, in addition to the left and right handles and the palm, a gun handle for both hands and a handle with a large hole are included, depending on your preference.

Arc Blazer attached to the forearm. The clear parts of the capacitor are from the 00 Gundam, and the tip is sculpted with a GN Vulcan.

You can recreate the burst blade by unfolding the yellow parts and inserting the clear parts.

The waist area is entirely from the 00 Diver, and the rear is equipped with a beam saber. The stand hole at the hip joint can be closed with a lid part.

The legs are also from 00 Diver. The original version is 00 Gundam, so the knees and ankles move well.

The ankles are blue and there is some flesh around the toes.

The two included GN Sword II can be assembled as you like and can be mounted on the waist.

It can transform from sword to rifle mode, and in sword mode you can choose whether to store the grip or not.

Burst buster sword mode of real sword mode. Remove the arc drive unit and pull out the stored grip. A simple lock pin is molded into the left and right claws, making them difficult to close without permission.

Action

Please assemble the GN Sword II as you like. Even in rifle mode, you can hold the blade without rotating it.

Two beam saber effects that were not included with the original 00 Diver are included.

Arcblazer deployment. It really looks like it’s shining a little, and it has a really beautiful texture!

Burst Buster Sword Mode. The grip is a suitable length and the Double O body moves well, so you can easily hold it with both hands!

Burst High Maneuver Mode is a high maneuverability mode that increases maneuverability to the utmost.

Expand the drive unit with the clear parts attached to the rear.

Burst shield mode allows for wide range defense. This deploys the unit at the front of the aircraft.

I teamed up with Rio and played Bundodo with Ayame and Momo.

The surroundings are too flashy and the main character’s plane is very plain.

That concludes my review of [HG Metaverse] “GUNDAM OO DIVER ARC”!!

GOANZEN NI!!
