HG CB-0000G/C Reborns Gundam


I didn't really expect Reborns gundam to be so big in size, it is almost as tall as Unicorn in NTD mode. The assembled kit looks simply majestic and mighty, there are some parts that need correct coloring though.



Front and back view :



Honestly, it really have a wierd shield, no matter where you look it seems like it's in the wrong place but actually right. Oh well ...


Buster Rifle - I think this is the most sturdy rifle in all of the 00 series kits. It clings to the arm firmly, so there's no stress on the hand. 

Need-to-paint parts - obviously the transparent piece on the chest, and the head crest. Be careful with the head crest though, it's too small to be noticed and does not hold well on it's head, as you can see mine is lost.

Oh...I forgot all Inovator mobile suits have high heels, this one too. Despite that it can be quite sturdy.

Comparison :

Reborns VS Nobel heels


Weapons :

 GN Shield

 GN Buster Rifle


 GN Huge Beam Saber



It's beam saber is definitely bigger than other, but it's uncolored, and it's material is the same as the transparent parts of it's other body. So the beam effect of the beam saber isn't flexible.

Reborns Cannon :


This is the mode 2 of  the Reborns Gundam, basically the back side of it. Features mostly guns guns and more guns. 



 GN ...Launcher? Probably the most powerful weapon on Reborns


The face-off :

 I don't think most fans will support Reborns, especially the because it's the protagonist. Everyone is so drowned with 00 fever. Of course, there's no harm wanting and loving the heroes, but that makes the 00 became  "not-so-special" anymore don't you think?

The original GN Drive is mine!!!



             Well, there are some cons of this kit though. All transformable kits have weak joints. This one have especially weak arms, not that it fell off easily (it will never), it's the turning mechanism that eats up the joints.  
I bought another display stand just for it because with the large GN fin fangs on it's back, it doesn't really like to stand still. Transformable kits should always be taken good care of, if you want to lengthen it's life span.

Mimicking the box art.
