【HGUC】ELPEO PLE’S QUBELEY Mk-Ⅱ review

Hi! Well then!
This time, it’s a review of the “ELPEO PLE’S QUBELEY Mk-Ⅱ” from HGUC!

From “MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM ZZ”, I would like to review the “ELPEO PLE’S QUBELEY Mk-II”, which has become a dark blue color driven by the Neo Zeon army’s enhanced human ELPEO PLE, and has appeared in Gunpla HGUC!

The assembly manual comes with a white revive version of Qubeley plus a supplemental paper.

Package & Accessories

Here is the package and attached seal.The sticker is for the ELPEO PLE exclusive machine, but it is based on the red PLETWO exclusive machine that was made three-dimensional earlier. For that reason, we don’t use anything that reproduces the color coding of the heel thrusters from ④ to ⑧.

Accessories include beam sabers (three blades, converging) x 2, left and right handles, and left and right palms.

Review

This is the finished【HGUC】ELPEO PLE’S QUBELEY Mk-Ⅱ.PLE’s black Qubeley Mk-II itself was three-dimensionalized and sold to the general public in the early days of HGUC in 2000. However, this kit is based on the 2015 white revive version of Qubeley, with improved mobility and color coding.

The Mk-II on which PLE boarded was a navy blue coloring, and it was a shiny coating specification kit with a glossy whole body.

Alongside Haman’s white revive Qubeley and Pletwo’s red Qubeley Mk-II. The contrasting white and black coloring gives a rather subdued impression compared to the red Pletwo. The pink parts such as the three lines are the same molding color as Haman’s white Qubeley.

【HGUC】QUBELEY(REVIVE Ver.) review

Side by side with the HGUC No.11 Qubeley Mk-II, which was three-dimensionalized in 2000. This is not a pre-ban limited item but a general sale, so it is still being resold occasionally as of 2022. The 3 pink lines are color-coded with stickers, and the molding color is a normal black and navy blue color without gloss.

The Neo Zeon emblem on the binder is made of dry decals, so it’s also possible to use the old kit for the revive version.

The shape of the head itself is the same as Haman’s white Qubeley, but the mono-eye seal has no green stuff and is only red. In addition, the movable neck joint allows the head to be raised greatly, allowing you to take a flying pose.

The body color is black unlike Haman’s Qubeley. The power pipes are gray and the cockpit hatch is color-coded with pink parts.

The large cockpit hatch can be opened and closed, and the mold of the internal hatch is also reproduced.

The large binders on both shoulders are also repurposed from the revive version of Qubeley, and the three pink lines and two adjacent 〇 molds are color-coded with separate parts. 〇 The color pattern of the mold has changed, and it is now the same black as the fuselage, so it was described as a supplement in the assembly instructions. The pink polka dot around the shoulder and the Neo Zeon emblem are reproduced with stickers.

The interior of the large binder is also reproduced with separate parts such as thrusters and mechanical molds. In the white Qubeley, the parts of the pipe part were painted in gray, but looking at the official page of Prevan, it seems that the Qubeley Mk-II can be left as it is.

The arms have a distinctive rounded design, and have the same shape as the white Qubeley. The wrist is equipped with a beam saber that doubles as a beam gun, but in this kit it is a 3-bladed saber with a separate grip, so it is not used as a saber.

The elbow joint has a pull-out mechanism, and when pulled out, the elbow can be bent greatly.

Arms can be stored inside the binder.

The power pipe on the back is also reproduced with separate parts. The mold of LMES 2 is also reproduced without change.

The back is equipped with a funnel container, and 10 funnels are stored inside. The funnel is the same pink color as Haman’s Qubeley, and it’s all removable.

The waist is the same shape as the white Qubeley, and it is reproduced with a small number of parts. The pink line of the front armor is also colored with a separate part.

The legs are also white Qubeley in different colors, and the glossy coating on the body is particularly noticeable. Thrusters such as thighs and heels are also separate parts, and are color-coded without using stickers.

Action

A black Qubeley appears!

Ple Ple Ple Ple Ple~!

Brother Judau, let’s play~!

Attack with beam gun. Like Haman’s white Qubeley, the wrist beam saber can be used as a ranged beam gun. But when Ple became dangerous, I just flew the funnel and didn’t use the beam gun much.

Attacks with a 3-bladed beam saber. A beam saber base unique to the Qubeley Mk-II that expands in three directions. It uses three thin saber effects. When did you use this?

2 sets of 3-blade sabers are included, so you can use it in dual wielding. The saber grip uses a separate gray part instead of the pink one on the wrist.

The beam saber also comes with a thick type with three converging blades.

Inject funnels using the funnel effect set for Qubeley, which is limited to PLEMIUM BANDAI. Qubeley funnels are small and hard to float, so this kind of item is very convenient!

That concludes my review of【HGUC】ELPEO PLE’S QUBELEY Mk-Ⅱ!!

GOANZEN NI!!
