Notes & Trivia

  • Before the kit's actual release, The HGUC iteration of the Barzam appears as a fictional kit in the 2013 Anime series Gundam Build Fighters.
    • Likewise, the actual Gunpla release's packaging homages the box art seen in the TV series.
  • Not counting Tanaka Toji and Yagyu Keita's resin kit iteration of the Mobile Suit, this Gunpla is the very first HGUC iteration of the Barzam unit.
  • Second HGUC kit to feature almost-to-no polycaps since HGUC Gundam GP02A "Physalis", though the kit only uses 6 polycaps compared to GP02's 14.
