Bandai HG 1/144 Challia Rick Dom - GQuuuuuuX Series

Bandai HG 1/144 Challia Rick Dom - GQuuuuuuX Series

Challia Bull's Rick Dom is one of the most mechanically ambitious kits in the Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX lineup. The GQ redesign brings modern engineering to the classic Rick Dom frame, but it's Challia's custom modifications that make this kit genuinely special. A transformation mechanism that switches to high-mobility form without part swapping, a giant bazooka with a movable grip, and electromagnetic grapples with flexible lead wire for dynamic attack poses. Every feature reflects a pilot who knows exactly what they need on the battlefield, and the result is one of the most feature-rich Zeon ace customs in the GQuuuuuuX series.

Challia's Rick Dom features a transformation mechanism to high-mobility form without part swapping, a giant bazooka with movable grip, and electromagnetic grapples with flexible lead wire — the most mechanically complex Zeon ace custom in the GQuuuuuuX HG lineup.

This kit is designed for intermediate builders. The snap-fit system means no glue is required, and Challia's distinctive blue colour scheme is achieved through part moulding without painting. The lead wire grapples require a little care during assembly but deliver a display impact that no other GQuuuuuuX kit matches. If you're building a Zeon ace pilot shelf, this is the centrepiece it needs.

What Makes This Kit Special

  • Transformation Mechanism: Switches to high-mobility form without part swapping, a genuine engineering gimmick that sets this kit apart from standard HG releases.
  • Giant Bazooka with Movable Grip: Massive firepower accessory with an articulated grip for accurate weapon-holding poses.
  • Electromagnetic Grapples with Lead Wire: Flexible lead wire grapples for dynamic attack and reach poses, a unique feature in the GQuuuuuuX lineup.
  • GQ Redesign: Modern proportions and updated joint engineering applied to the classic Rick Dom frame for improved articulation and shelf presence.
  • Challia Bull's Custom Configuration: Ace pilot personalisation throughout, reflecting Challia's combat philosophy and battlefield reputation.
  • Accurate Blue Colour Scheme: Challia's distinctive livery achieved through colour-separated parts, no painting required.
  • Snap-Fit Assembly: No glue required throughout the build.

Builder Notes

Challia's Rick Dom is a recent release with limited community build documentation at the time of writing. The notes below cover what is confirmed for this kit specifically. A full update is planned once broader builder feedback has accumulated.

Sticker Sheet Handling: The GQuuuuuuX line uses a thinner sticker stock than most HG releases, and Challia's kit is no exception. Peeling at an angle tears the sticker before it lifts cleanly. Use a sharp-tipped tweezer or toothpick to get under the corner of each sticker and lift perpendicularly before transferring. Apply a coat of Mr. Hobby Mr. Super Clear Gloss over any stickers on high-contact surfaces to anchor the edges and prevent peeling over time.

Lead Wire for the Electromagnetic Hook: The kit includes a lead wire for the electromagnetic hook gimmick. Route the wire during assembly before the surrounding armour panels are closed — trying to thread it through afterwards causes permanent kinking. Trim excess wire with a sharp blade rather than blunt nippers. The wire creases permanently once bent hard, so plan the final wire path before committing to a trim length.

Third Rear Leg Transformation Joint: The third rear leg switches between a ground stabiliser and space thruster configuration on a hinged joint at its base. The joint is designed to fold along a specific arc. Twisting it laterally rather than following that arc is the most likely way to stress it. Follow the transformation sequence in the manual rather than free-handing the movement.

Stability Rating: Pending. The Dom's wide, low stance suggests solid standing stability, but a reliable rating requires more builder reports on this specific kit. An Action Base 4 is recommended for any pose with the bazooka raised or the third leg in thruster configuration.

The Fixes: Lift sticker sheet pieces perpendicularly and seal with Mr. Hobby Mr. Super Clear Gloss. Route the lead wire before closing surrounding armour and trim with a blade. Follow the manual for the third rear leg transformation.

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.
