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.

What's In The Box

  • Giant Bazooka with movable grip (x1)
  • Electromagnetic grapples (x1 set)

Builder Notes

Challia's Rick Dom is a recent release with limited independent community build documentation at the time of writing. A fresh search of English and Japanese builder sources on 12 August 2026 turned up retailer listings, the official Bandai spec page and Gunpla Wiki entries, but no independent build write-ups or forum threads with hands-on impressions yet. The notes below cover general technique that applies to the kit's confirmed gimmicks, not reviewer-reported issues.

Sticker Sheet Handling: The GQuuuuuuX line uses a thinner sticker stock than most HG releases. 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.

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, threading it through afterwards risks kinking. Trim excess wire with a sharp blade rather than blunt nippers.

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. 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.

Fast Australian Shipping

Dispatched same day from Brisbane if ordered before 2pm AEST on weekdays. Free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $199. Packed securely in a sturdy outer box with water-soluble cornstarch void fill that dissolves cleanly in the sink.

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!
