  3. Builds solid and stays solid: builders repeatedly single this one out as a kit where nothing pops off, which is not a given on a 2007 High Grade.

Series Assembly Guide FAQ

Bandai 1/144 HG Gundam 00 Gundam Dynames

Lockon Stratos never misses

Every Gundam 00 fan has a favourite Meister, and a lot of them pick Lockon. The GN-002 Gundam Dynames is Celestial Being's sniper, built to end a fight from a rooftop three kilometres away rather than wade into one. Green and white, deliberately unshowy, and carrying a rifle longer than its own legs.

This is the 2007 High Grade, and nearly twenty years on it is still the kit people name when they talk about the best sniper Gunpla.

Build difficulty

A straightforward snap-fit High Grade. Moulded in colour, no glue or paint required, low part count, and polycap joints throughout. Comfortable for a first or second build. The one thing worth budgeting time for is nub cleanup, since builders consistently mention the green plastic showing marks more than most.

Technical highlights

The GN Sniper Rifle is the centrepiece and it is properly thought through. It sets up on tripod support for a stable firing pose, and when you are not using it, it stows on the right shoulder armour. The yellow head antenna slides down to reveal the gun camera underneath, which is the detail that sells the sniper role. The GN shields fold to the front for guard mode. Foil stickers are included for detail work.

What makes this kit special

  • Tripod-supported GN Sniper Rifle: deploys on a tripod for a stable, in-character sniping stance rather than just being held.
  • Sliding gun camera: the yellow head antenna slides down to reveal the precision targeting camera underneath.
  • Rifle stows on the shoulder: mount the sniper rifle on the right shoulder armour when it is not deployed.
  • Foldable GN shields: swing forward into front guard mode for a defensive display.
  • Polycap articulation: plenty of joints, and a kit builders repeatedly describe as solid rather than floppy.

What's in the box

  • GN-002 Gundam Dynames parts, moulded in colour
  • GN Sniper Rifle with tripod support
  • Foldable GN shields
  • Foil sticker sheet
  • Instruction manual

Compatible accessories

No display base is included with the kit. To get the Dynames up into a raised sniping pose rather than a flat-footed one, pair it with the Bandai Action Base 2, the standard 1/144 display stand.

What to watch for

The reputation here is genuinely good, and it comes from separate builder discussions rather than one thread. One builder calls it the most solid kit they have ever built regardless of grade, saying nothing pops off and it poses perfectly. Another rates it the best sniper-type kit available while noting the articulation is a little lacking against the newest releases, though not bad at all.

The one consistent caveat is finishing work. A third discussion recommends expecting to clean parts up and colour some details in, and not expecting it to pull off the most extreme poses. That is fair for a 2007 kit and none of it is a fault.

Builder tips: take extra care with nub marks, since the green plastic shows them. Panel lining and a few hand-coloured details lift this kit more than most, because the base colour separation is fairly plain. Set the sniper rifle up on its tripod at least once, it is the pose the whole kit was designed around.

Build notes

No glue and no paint required. Nippers, a hobby knife and sanding sticks, plus a fine marker or panel liner if you want to pick out details. Expect around an hour and a half. Recommended age 15 and over.

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.

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!
