Description

Includes

  • Lah Gundam
    • Lah Gundam backpack
      • 2-piece Beam Lah Naginata
    • RX-78-2 Gundam "Niigata" backpack
      • 2 Beam Saber hilts
  • Beam Rifle
    • Scope
      • Lah Gundam
      • RX-78-2
  • Lah Shield

Kit Features & Gimmicks

  • The Lah Gundam's backpack and Beam Rifle scopes can be built into either regular of "Niigata" types.

Articulation

  • The head can swivel on a double-sided ball-jointed neck.
  • Shoulder joints can raise upwards.
  • The arms can...
    • Swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
    • Raise horizontally.
  • The upper arms can rotate.
  • Elbow joints can be bent up to 110 degrees.
  • The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
  • The waist can tilt sideways, and back and forth in a limited manner.
  • The upper thighs can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint (though the backwards articulation is limited due to the non-poseable rear skirt armor), and/or rotate on each piece.
    • Front and side skirt armors are poseable to avoid interference with the leg joints.
  • The knees are double-jointed.
  • Ankles can tilt sideways (in a mostly limited manner), or frontward on a c-clip connection.

Weapons/Other Gimmicks

  • Any of the weapons can be wielded by the hand parts.
  • When built with the...
    • Lah Gundam backpack, the Beam Naginata hilts can be optionally removed from the piece and combine into a single weapon.
    • Niigata (RX-78-2) backpack, the Beam Saber hilts can be optionally removed from the piece as handheld weapons. (Beam effects sold separately)
  • The Beam Rifle scope can swing left or right.
  • The Lah Shield can attach onto any of the forearms (default position is on the left) or onto the backpack.
  • Lah Gundam can mount onto any Action Bases. (sold separately.)

Tips & Tricks

  • For better results, some or most of the details can be painted and panel-lined with Gundam Markers.
  • Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect painted details and/or marking decals, if any.
  • Despite what the package says about not needing tools to trim off the parts from the runner, using nippers are recommended for a cleaner cut.
  • Exercise caution while posing the upper legs: Due to the hip joint axis' thin piece on the ball joint, posing it roughly causes it to snap off.
  • As the hands were designed for a tighter grip for unpainted weapon parts, care must be taken to those who wanted to paint the said weapons, as a few thin layers can be scratched off while sliding onto the hands.

Customizing-based tips

  • As the kit provides enough spare parts from the original mold, one can choose to rebuild the Gunpla back to the Lah Gundam-colored RX-78-2 Gundam.
  • The Hyper Bazooka from the RX-78-2 Gundam (Full Weapon Set) can be used on this Gunpla.
  • The shield from the EG RX-78-2 Gundam can be used on the Gunpla to complete the Lah Gundam Nigata's armaments.
  • The Water-slide decals from the "10 Crafting Techniques to Improve Your Gunpla Building (ガンプラが絶対にうまくなる10の制作テクニック)" mook can be applied on this Gunpla.
