Bandai 1/144 HG 00 Raiser + GN Sword III

Two kits, one machine, and the sword from the last fight

The 00 Gundam on its own is already Setsuna's best machine. Dock the 0 Raiser onto its back and it becomes the 00 Raiser, the twin-drive configuration the whole second season builds towards. This set gives you both kits in one box, plus the GN Sword III with its clear pink beam effect part, which is the weapon from the final battle.

It is a lot of plastic for one purchase and it is regularly named as one of the best kits in the HG 00 line.

Build difficulty

You are building two kits here, so budget accordingly, but neither is difficult. Both are snap-fit and moulded in colour with no glue or paint required, and the 00 Gundam is fully articulated on polycap joints. The docking mechanism between the two is the interesting part of the assembly. Comfortable for anyone with a few builds behind them.

Technical highlights

The 0 Raiser docks with the 00 Gundam exactly as it does in the show, so you can display them as two separate machines or as the combined 00 Raiser. The weapon set is deep: two GN Sword IIs and one GN Sword III, and each of those switches into rifle form, becoming GN Rifle IIs and a GN Rifle III respectively. You also get two GN beam sabers and a shield. The GN Sword III comes with a clear pink beam effect part. A black stand is included in the box to help hold the finished model in mid-air poses.

What makes this kit special

  • Two complete kits in one box: the HG 00 Gundam and the HG 0 Raiser, which dock together to form the 00 Raiser.
  • GN Sword III with pink beam effect: the final-battle weapon, with the clear effect part included.
  • Swords that become rifles: both GN Sword IIs and the GN Sword III switch into rifle form rather than being fixed blades.
  • Stand included: a black display stand comes in the box for mid-air posing.
  • Real docking mechanism: the 0 Raiser attaches properly rather than being a fixed backpack.
  • Full polycap articulation: the 00 Gundam poses freely once built.

Compatible accessories

A black display stand is included with this set, so you can get it airborne straight away. If you want a second stand so the 00 Gundam and 0 Raiser can be displayed as separate machines at the same time, the Bandai Action Base 2 is the standard 1/144 display stand.

What to watch for

I did not find a repeated, independently confirmed fault with this set, and the sentiment is unusually positive. One reviewer describes it as the final battle variant with a huge amount of weaponry, beam effects and the 0 Raiser included. Another calls it one of the best 00 kits and still their favourite in the line. A builder who put one together simply described it as a very fun build.

The one practical thing to plan for is space and time. You are assembling two kits, and once the 0 Raiser is docked the combined machine has a much wider footprint than a normal High Grade, so think about where it is going before you start.

Builder tips: build the 00 Gundam first and satisfy yourself it poses properly before you dock the 0 Raiser, since the combined form is harder to work on. Use the included black stand for anything with the GN Sword III deployed, because the beam effect part adds length and leverage. Keep the two GN Sword IIs and the single GN Sword III clearly separated during the build, they are easy to confuse.

Build notes

No glue and no paint required. Nippers, a hobby knife and sanding sticks. Expect around two and a half to three hours across both kits. Recommended age 15 and over.

Assembly Guide

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.

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.

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

Do I get both the 00 Gundam and the 0 Raiser?

Yes, both complete kits are in the one box. The 0 Raiser docks onto the 00 Gundam to form the combined 00 Raiser, exactly as it does in the show, so you can display them as two separate machines or as one. That is why this set is such good value against buying the kits individually.

What exactly is the GN Sword III?

A large sword that switches into rifle form as the GN Rifle III, and it is the weapon from the final battle. It comes with a clear pink beam effect part in this set. You also get two GN Sword IIs that convert to GN Rifle II form the same way, so every sword in the box doubles as a gun.

Does it come with a stand?

Yes, a black display stand is included specifically to help with mid-air poses. Worth using it whenever the GN Sword III is deployed, since the beam effect part adds length and leverage. A second stand is only needed if you want to display the 00 Gundam and the 0 Raiser as separate machines at once.

How long does it take to build?

Around two and a half to three hours, because you are building two kits rather than one. Neither is difficult, both are snap-fit and moulded in colour with no glue or paint needed. Build the 00 Gundam first and check it poses properly before docking the 0 Raiser, since the combined form is harder to work on.

Is it worth it over the plain 00 Gundam kit?

For most people, yes. You get the second kit, the final-battle sword and its beam effect part, and a stand. Builder opinion backs it up, with one reviewer calling it one of the best 00 kits and still their favourite in the line. The one thing to plan for is shelf space, because the docked form has a much wider footprint.
