Series Assembly Guide FAQ

Bandai 1/144 HG Gundvolva

The autonomous Dawn of Fold drone, the WFM grunt suit built around the Lfrith pilots' GUND format

The EDM-GB Gundvölva is an unmanned mobile suit fielded by Dawn of Fold. The GUND format is built directly into the cockpit, letting the Lfrith Ur and Lfrith Thorn pilots control swarms of these suits as remote weapons. By the end of Mobile Suit Gundam The Witch from Mercury, the Gundvölva is the antagonist mass-production unit you see deployed across the major battles.

The kit captures that mass-produced military silhouette: dark teal armour, grey detail panels, beam rifle and shield as the primary loadout. It's the cheapest HG in the WFM range and the easiest to grab in multiples if you want to build a squad.

Build difficulty

Standard HG 1/144 snap-fit. Bandai rate it age 8 and over. Mecha Express tags it both beginner and intermediate: a confident first-timer can finish it in a sitting, and intermediate builders pick it as a relaxing palette-cleanser between bigger builds. Expect 1 to 2 hours at a relaxed pace for a clean snap. No glue. No paint required.

Technical highlights

Ball joints at the neck and waist are spaced to allow forward and backward leaning postures. Side armour uses a movable axis with ball joints for a wider waist range. The beam saber grip and the beam rifle magazine both store behind the shield, keeping the silhouette clean when the weapons aren't in hand. The beam rifle itself can attach and detach from the leg. The kit ships with the standard HG hand parts set, beam rifle, beam saber, and shield.

What makes this kit special

  • WFM's mass-production grunt suit. If you want to build a Dawn of Fold squad, this is the kit. The price point makes multiples reasonable.
  • Shield-mounted weapon storage. Beam saber grip and beam rifle magazine both stow behind the shield for clean off-hand display.
  • Leg-mount for the beam rifle. When you don't want the rifle in hand, it clips to the side of the leg.
  • Wider waist articulation. Side armour on a movable axis gives the kit more poseable range than most basic-spec HG mass-production units.
  • Lean, clean build. Low part count, snap-fit assembly, no gimmicks to fight with. A solid relaxing build.

What's in the box

  • Runners for the EDM-GB Gundvölva
  • 1 × Beam Rifle
  • 1 × Beam Saber
  • 1 × Shield
  • Standard HG hand parts set
  • 1 × Sticker sheet

Compatible kits and accessories

This is a mobile suit kit, not an accessory. The Gundvölva uses the standard 3 mm back-mount socket, so it pairs with the standard Bandai action base system.

No display base is included with the kit. For dynamic poses or for displaying a Gundvölva squad in formation, pair the kits with the Bandai Action Base 2, the standard 1/144 display stand. The Witch from Mercury Display Base is the matching series accessory.

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

The Gundvölva is a basic-spec HG mass-production kit with no significant build weaknesses flagged by independent reviewers. The simplicity is the point.

Builder Tips. A dark grey or black panel line marker brings out the angular armour seams without dirtying the lighter teal panels. The shield reads better with a thin coat of matte top coat. If you're building multiple Gundvölvas for a squad display, slight differences in panel line tone or weathering on each unit help them feel like individual machines rather than identical clones.

Build notes

No glue required for the standard build, this is snap-fit. A basic Gunpla tool kit (sharp side cutters or nippers, a hobby knife for clean-up, a panel line marker) is recommended though not essential. Allow 1 to 2 hours total build time at a relaxed pace, longer if you panel line or weather. Recommended age 8 and over per the Bandai box.

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

What level of skill is required to build the HG Gundvölva?

Mecha Express tags the Gundvölva as both beginner and intermediate, and Bandai rate it for ages 8 and over. It's a standard HG 1/144 snap-fit kit with no gimmicks to fight with. No glue and no paint required. Most builders finish it in 1 to 2 hours. A solid pick for newcomers to the hobby or for intermediate builders wanting a relaxing palette-cleanser.

Who pilots the Gundvölva in the anime?

The Gundvölva is unmanned. Its cockpit houses Dawn of Fold's GUND format implementation, which lets the Lfrith Ur and Lfrith Thorn pilots remote-control swarms of these units. In the show, you see them deployed as the antagonist mass-production unit across the later battles in Mobile Suit Gundam The Witch from Mercury.

Where does the beam rifle store when not in hand?

The beam rifle clips to the side of the leg. The beam rifle magazine itself also stows behind the shield, along with the beam saber grip, so you can display the suit with the shield as the off-hand silhouette and the rifle leg-mounted for a clean profile.

How long does the Gundvölva take to build?

1 to 2 hours at a relaxed pace for a clean snap-build. Add another half-hour or so if you're panel-lining the armour or applying the sticker sheet. It's one of the simpler HGs in the WFM line, which is part of the appeal if you're building multiples for a Dawn of Fold squad display.

What's included in the box?

Runners for the EDM-GB Gundvölva, one beam rifle, one beam saber, one shield, the standard HG hand parts set, and one sticker sheet. No display base is included, so consider pairing the kit with a Bandai Action Base 2 (the standard 1/144 stand) if you want to pose the suit dynamically or display a Gundvölva squad in formation.

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!
