【HGUC】PSYCHO DOGA review

Hi! Well then!
This time, it’s a review of the “PSYCHO DOGA” from HGUC !

From the novel “Mobile Suit Gundam Char’s Counterattack Beltorchika’s Children”, Neo Zeon’s new type MS “Psycho Doga” appeared in Gunpla HGUC and was pre-sold at “GUNDAM SIDE-F”, so I would like to review it !!

Assembly instructions are included in color.

  • Appearance work MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM Char’s Counterattack Beltorchika’s Children
  • Sales date    12/2022
  • Tax-included price 4,180 JPY

Package & Accessories

Here is the package and attached seal.Since the runner of Geara Doga is attached entirely, the box was thick.

The fact that α-AZIERU is drawn on the back of Psycho Doga means that you will be releasing a high-grade model in the future, isn’t it, Mr. Bandai?

The sticker will reproduce the mono-eye, the sensor part of the backpack, and the rank insignia on the collar.

The assembly manual was in black and white, like a pre-van kit, and had no description of the aircraft.

Accessories include beam assault rifle, beam sword, axe x 2 types, shield, funnel x 6, right gun handle, left open hand, and shield joint.

This kit uses the HGUC Geara Doga, which is commercially available, so the torso, shoulders, backpack, etc. will be redundant.A complete set of Geara Doga runners is included, so you can assemble it as a white Geara Doga.

The Sturm Faust had a warhead colored red with colored plastic, and came with both a beam machine gun and a beam rifle for the commander plane of the Rezun machine.

This kit was pre-sold at “GUNDAM SIDE-F”, one of the “GUNDAM PARK” facilities in Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport Fukuoka.It will be sold in the form of lottery sales in December 2022, and will be sold at Premium Bandai and Gundam Base stores later.

Review

This is the finished 【HGUC】PSYCHO DOGA.A Neo Zeon NT-only mobile suit that uses the psycho-frame that appears in the novel “Mobile Suit Gundam Char’s Counterattack Beltorchika’s Children”, piloted by Grab Gas.

The three-dimensional Psycho Doga this time is called MSN-03-2, so it is not CCA-MSV’s α-Azir-like Psycho Doga, but it is also called Psycho Gira Doga, which appears in the novel version “Beltorchika’s Children”.

Side by side with the original Geara Doga.Even in the kit, most of it is a diversion here, and the limbs, waist, joints, etc. are used as they are.

Compare with Gyunei’s Jagd Doga.There was no diversion from here, and the funnel was also a different shape.

Head details.It has a distinctive shape that protrudes backward, and the Neo Zeon emblem on its forehead is colored with yellow parts.The internal frame parts are similar in shape to Geara Doga, but they were all newly shaped.

The monoeye was movable so that the front part of the face could be easily removed.The details around the mono-eye are also fine.

The neck joint itself has a structure that allows for a large amount of movement, inherited from the Char’s Counterattack kit, but due to the design of the head, it doesn’t point upwards too much.

Torso details.Around here, the neck joint and power pipe are used, and everything else is new molding.The shoulder joint was also a drawer type.

The Neo Zeon rank insignia on the collar is reproduced with a sticker.

A drawer-type joint was added inside the torso, so that it could bend and move left and right.It has a structure that does not create strange gaps even when pulled out.

The shoulder armor is equipped with three funnels on each side.All are removable.The verniers on the front and back of the armor are color-coded with yellow parts inside, and the small apogee motor near the funnel is also reproduced with separate parts.

Arm details.This area is entirely diverted from Geara Doga.A gun hand is attached to the right hand, and a flat hand is attached to the left hand.

There is only one back of the hand for the left hand and the palm, so you need to use it.

Psycommu weapon funnels come with 6 each in storage and deployment states.Each one has a new shape, and the funnel, which was designed to float with a plastic bar in Jagd and Doga, has been improved to support a 3mm axis stand.Both are non-moving type with one part molding.

The funnel mounting part on the shoulder armor side also supports a 3mm axis, so you can connect the armor and funnel directly with a stand.

It was one size larger than the funnel of Jagd Doga.In the example, it seems that the launch port part is painted black.

The backpack is equipped with 3 tail stabilizers, each of which can be moved at its base.The sensor in the center of the backpack is colored with a sticker.

The stabilizer on the top can swing up, down, left and right.

The stabilizer at the bottom can also swing up and down.

A thruster is molded at the tip of the stabilizer.

Waist details.Around here, except for the front armor, it is diverted from Geara Doga.The ducts of the front armor were color-coded with yellow parts, and small molds were added on the surface.

Details were also easily molded on the back side of the front armor.

Beam Sword Ax can be mounted on the rear armor.

The hip joint is also a ball shaft because it is a diversion from Geara Doga, but since the original has a wide range of motion, it feels like it’s not so difficult to pose.

Detail of legs.There are no new molding parts around here, and the entire Geara Doga is used.The inside of the vernier near the ankle needs to be painted black.

Details such as thrusters were also molded on the soles.

Action

Equipped with beam assault rifle and shield.

Attack with a beam assault rifle.It is a bright green armament exclusively for Psycho Doga, and this is a three-dimensional model with new modeling.The grip part has a square pin so you can hold it firmly.There were no gimmicks such as pulling out the magazine or moving the stock.

The shield is also three-dimensional with new modeling for Psycho Doga.The Neo Zeon emblem on the surface is colored with yellow parts like the head.The shield joint is a diversion of Geara Doga, so you can change the mounting angle.

Behind the shield are missiles and a grenade launcher.

Since the beam sword ax is a diversion from Geara Doga, it comes with two types of axes and a sword, and two short and long grip parts are also included.

Beam machine guns and Sturm Faust treated as surplus parts can also be used as they are.

Launch funnel.Thanks to the compatibility with the 3mm axis stand, it is easy to float and display.

Confrontation with a strange colored Jegan.There was a desperate feeling here just by changing the color of the torso, but I think that Psycho Doga is a good mix of new modeling and diversion.

Confrontation with Amuro Ray’s Hi-ν Gundam.When I read the aircraft description on the package, it was written that the first Psycho Doga was captured in a battle with Amuro’s Re-GZ.

!!?????

That concludes my review of 【HGUC】PSYCHO DOGA!!

GOANZEN NI!!
