Bandai 1/144 HG Gundam 00 Diver Arc (Gundam Build Metaverse)

The arc-winged 00 successor from Gundam Build Metaverse

The HG 1/144 Gundam 00 Diver Arc is the arc-binder Gunpla from Gundam Build Metaverse, the video series marking the tenth anniversary of the Gundam Build line. It carries the lineage of the 00 Diver and 00 Sky suits, with a fresh set of sweeping arc-shaped binders and clear beam effects. It is a snap-fit kit moulded in colour that builds into a fully posable Gunpla with serious shelf presence for an HG.

Build difficulty

It is a snap-fit HG, so no glue and no paint are needed for a clean build and the colour is moulded in. There is a fair amount of clear effect and 3D metallic-seal detail to fit, plus the binder gimmicks, so set aside a little more time than a plain HG. A pair of nippers for clean runner removal is the main tool worth having.

Technical highlights

The headline is the effect set: the clear parts are moulded in a special photoluminescent resin that soaks up light and glows, so the beam wings and blades read as luminous without any paint. The GN Drive is a newly moulded telescopic part, the arc binders on the shoulders detach and reconfigure, and a sheet of 3D metallic seals adds a glossy, raised finish to the fine detail. Articulation is strong across the frame, so you can pose the binders and the twin swords freely.

What makes this kit special

  • Photoluminescent effect parts: the clear resin absorbs light and emits it for a genuine glow, no paint required.
  • Reconfigurable arc binders: the sweeping shoulder binders detach and reposition for dynamic display.
  • Newly moulded telescopic GN Drive: a fresh part specific to this kit.
  • 3D metallic seals: raised, glossy seals for a sharper finish straight out of the box.
  • Twin GN Sword II: a pair of the signature 00-line blades for two-handed poses.

What's in the box

  • Snap-fit runners for the Gundam 00 Diver Arc, moulded in colour
  • Effect parts (1 set, photoluminescent clear resin)
  • GN Sword II x2
  • Interchangeable hand parts (left and right, 3 each)
  • 3D metallic seal
  • Sticker sheet
  • Instruction sheet

Compatible accessories

No display stand is included, and the kit poses best in the air, so a Bandai Action Base (sold separately) is worth adding to fly it. A panel-line marker and a sharp pair of nippers are the useful basics for sharpening the build.

Fast Australian shipping

Dispatched same day from our Brisbane warehouse if ordered before 2pm AEST on weekdays. Free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $199. Genuine Australian stock in hand, not ordered through an overseas proxy. Packed securely in a sturdy outer box with water-soluble cornstarch void fill that dissolves cleanly in the sink.

What to watch for

We haven't found a consistent body of independent build reviews for this specific kit, so we can't pass on verified fit-and-finish feedback. A couple of honest notes for a kit like this: the large arc binders add weight up high, so it displays best on an action base rather than balancing on its own, and the 3D metallic seals reward patience to line up cleanly. No glue or paint is needed at any point.

Builder tip: the photoluminescent effect parts glow brightest after a few seconds under a bright lamp or torch, so charge them up before you photograph the kit in the dark.

Build notes

No cement or paint required, this is a snap-fit kit moulded in colour. A pair of nippers is the main tool worth having, and the 3D metallic seals plus sticker sheet handle the fine detail. A rewarding build for anyone who has done an HG or two. Recommended age 8 and up.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
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.
No Cement Required

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.

No Painting Required

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

Is this a finished figure or a model kit?

It's a snap-fit model kit you assemble yourself. It's moulded in colour, so no paint is needed, and no glue is required for a standard build.

What's included in the box?

The snap-fit runners for the Gundam 00 Diver Arc (moulded in colour), a set of photoluminescent clear effect parts, two GN Sword II, interchangeable hands (three left and three right), a 3D metallic seal sheet and stickers.

What are the effect parts made of?

They're moulded in a special photoluminescent clear resin that absorbs light and glows, so the beam wings and blades look luminous without any paint. Charge them under a bright light first for the strongest glow.

Does it come with a stand?

No, a display stand isn't included. The kit poses best in the air, so a Bandai Action Base (sold separately) is worth adding for flight poses.

What series is it from?

It's from Gundam Build Metaverse, the video series marking the tenth anniversary of the Gundam Build line. The Diver Arc continues the 00 Diver and 00 Sky lineage.

Awesome kit, great extras. Only criticism is that the kit comes with a base so you don't need the second one. The kit also doesn't have the ability to take the blue LED bonus so if you don't have another use for it it is wasted. Luckily, I'm a Gundam tragic so will always have uses for extra bases and lighting kits.

Excellent service and fast delivery

I purchased on 6 Jan and my order arrived on 13 Jan. It was very well packed, with both boxes in excellent condition. Cam even provided a small free gift in the box! Overall purchasing experience was smooth and hassle-free. I haven’t had the chance to build the kit yet, but based on the service and care taken with shipping, I would happily purchase from this store if there are other Space Battleship Yamato models available.

Very rare with fair price

If you were one of the lucky ones that were able to travel to Sydney Gundam Base pop-up in 2025 and queued extremely early (like the first 40 or so) on the first day, probably you were able to grab one of these. Otherwise, the only alternative I would know of is traveling to Japan and being uber lucky of having it still being sold at Gundam bases. Otherwise, it's a second-hand market, and prices will go up. That said, the price was fair, I think it would be similar price as using a dropship service from Japan, with the exception that it's much faster and way more guaranteed you will get proper merchandise. So, Mecha Express, Cam, thank you so much for your store!
