Bandai 1/100 MG YMS-15 Gyan

Bandai 1/100 MG YMS-15 Gyan

The MG 1/100 YMS-15 Gyan is M'Quve's signature mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam, and one of the more distinctive Zeon designs in the One Year War lineup. Built on Bandai's Ver. 2.0 inner frame, it's a more capable kit than its reputation in the series might suggest. The needle-and-shield combat style translates well into the MG format, and the inclusion of a light-up beam sabre and a 1/20 scale M'Quve figure make this a genuinely interesting build for One Year War collectors.

The MG Gyan includes a light-up beam sabre powered by a watch-type battery and a 1/20 scale unpainted figure of pilot M'Quve — two inclusions that set it apart from standard MG releases.

The Ver. 2.0 frame gives the Gyan solid articulation and a stable base for posing, and the shield with its hide bomb detail is faithfully recreated. It's not the most complex MG build, but it's a satisfying one with a few unique gimmicks that reward the collector as much as the builder.

What Makes This Kit Special

  • Ver. 2.0 Inner Frame: Bandai's updated frame engineering for improved articulation and stability
  • Light-Up Beam Sabre: Built-in LED gimmick powered by a watch-type battery (not included) for an illuminated display
  • 1/20 Scale M'Quve Figure: Unpainted pilot figure included, a rare inclusion for a standard MG release
  • Hide Bomb Shield: Faithfully recreated with the Gyan's signature needle-studded shield detail
  • Distinctive Zeon Design: One of the more unique silhouettes in the One Year War Zeon lineup, immediately recognisable on the shelf
  • Good Colour Separation: Core colour blocking achieved through part separation, minimal painting required

What's In The Box

  • Beam Sabre (light-up, watch battery powered)
  • Shield (with hide bomb detail)
  • Missile x2
  • Hand parts
  • 1/20 scale unpainted M'Quve figure

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!
