Gunpla Secret Base is starting to review his received sample of PG 00 Raiser by showing the content of the huge kit.

Two more "tradition-breaking" features of this PG 00 Raiser revealed:

Every single segment of the fingers there XD

So the runners didn't get to go to "Z" at all XD

OF1 and OF2 - PS parts


OG - ABS parts, OH (x2) - PS parts

ON - ABS parts. Runner's tag is "GN Sword III"


OO (x2) and OP (x2) - PS parts

November 26th release, 26,250 Yen (inclusive of tax).

Plenty of runners for the entire kit, and Bandai planned everything out very well so that parts for the separate component - 00 Gundam, O Raiser, GN Sword III, and the new weapon units have their parts sitting on runners dedicated to their assembly only. Two or three different labels on all the runners is a clear giveaway that Bandai has more plans about this PG in the future.

PG Exia? or maybe 00 Qan[T] which was revealed to have a GN Drive in its chest not long ago.

But it's quite obvious (in a sad way for me) that Bandai doesn't look at the PG line the same way it was before Astray Red Frame anymore. Apart from the scale and lighting gimmick, there are so many features of this kit which doesn't make it fit into the PG line.

It was a good decision for me to go for Yamato's Hattori Kiriko Ninja Ver. instead. XD
