Bandai 1/144 HG Bolinoak Sammahn (Zeta Gundam)

The Jupitris recon suit, in a modern HG with a lit-up monoeye

The PMX-002 Bolinoak Sammahn is one of Zeta Gundam's more unusual designs, a Jupitris-built prototype developed as a seek-and-destroy unit packed with surveillance gear. This 2024 HG captures its bulky, insectile silhouette in deep green, right down to the oversized shoulder sensor binders and the clawed manipulators, and it adds a clear head part so the monoeye can be lit.

Build difficulty

This is a Skill Level 2 build on the Mecha Express scale. Snap-fit, no glue and no paint required. It's a modern mould with a refreshing structure and moulded colour separation, so it goes together cleanly and reads accurately straight from the box. A satisfying build for a newer or experienced builder.

Technical highlights

The head is moulded in clear so the monoeye can glow, and the large shoulder binders and clawed arms give the suit its distinctive recon-unit look. Colour separation is handled through moulded parts across the two-tone green and dark grey scheme, with red accents on the thrusters and stickers filling the finer markings. Articulation is solid despite the bulk.

What makes this kit special

  • Clear illuminated head. The head part is moulded in clear so the monoeye can be lit with a separately sold LED unit.
  • Oversized sensor binders. The signature shoulder pods that mark it as a surveillance and seek-and-destroy unit.
  • Clawed manipulators. The distinctive gripper hands and shield-claw of the design.
  • Beam saber effect part. Included to pose its melee attack.
  • Snap-fit construction. No glue or paint required to reach a presentable finish.

What to watch for

Drawing on builder reviews and a Mecha Express buyer's own review (r/Gundam, YouTube reviews):

  • It's a solid, sturdy build with few faults reported. A Melbourne buyer called it a very nice, solid and sturdy build, and reviewers describe the unusual internal structure as a refreshing change of pace. Not a problem kit.
  • To light the monoeye you need an LED. The head is moulded clear for illumination, but the LED unit that lights it is sold separately.
  • The design is polarising. This is one of Zeta's more unconventional suits, so it's a love-it-or-not silhouette rather than a classic Gundam look. Worth knowing if you haven't seen it in the show.

Build notes

No glue required, this is a snap-fit kit. A basic Gunpla tool kit (sharp side cutters or nippers, a hobby knife for clean-up and a panel line marker) is recommended though not essential. Recommended age 8 and over. An LED unit for the head is optional and sold separately.

Assembly Guide

Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

I don't know the Bolinoak Sammahn. Is it still worth getting?

Yes. It's one of Zeta Gundam's more unusual designs, a Jupitris recon prototype, and it makes a striking, characterful piece even if you don't know the lore. The build itself is rewarding.

What's included to arm and light it?

The head part is moulded clear so the monoeye can be lit with a separately sold LED unit, and a beam saber effect part is included for its melee attack. The clawed manipulators are part of the main build.

Does it need painting?

No. It comes moulded in colour, so a straight build looks accurate to the setting. Stickers cover the finer markings, and painting is optional for a custom finish.

Is it a good kit for a beginner?

Yes. It's a modern HG with snap-fit assembly and clean engineering, so no glue is needed and it goes together smoothly. A good pick even for a newer builder.

How big is the built kit?

It's a large HG. The oversized shoulder sensor binders give it a wide, imposing footprint that reads bigger than a typical 1/144 kit, so leave a bit more shelf space than usual.
