Key features
  1. 14 Removable Heat Darts: Spike-mounted darts sit across the shoulders and body and pull free for handheld poses, recreating the suit's ranged attack from the anime.
  2. Giant Bazooka: A two-handed heavy bazooka for close-support poses alongside the dart-throwing options.
  3. Movable Mono Eye and Soft Waist: The single eye sensor shifts for expression, and soft material at the waist gives a wider range of motion than a standard Zeon frame.

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

What weapons come with the Efreet Schneid?

You get the Giant Bazooka for ranged shots plus 14 removable Heat Darts mounted across the shoulders and body, with 2 spare darts you can hold by hand. All of it pulls straight off the sprues, no extra parts needed.

Is this the same Efreet as the RE/100 Exam Efreet Custom?

No, different mobile suit. This is the HGUC MS-08TX/S Efreet Schneid, a Zeon Remnants prototype that appears in Gundam Unicorn. The Exam Efreet Custom is a separate kit from a different part of the Efreet family.

How's the articulation on this kit?

Better than you'd expect for a compact Zeon design. The shoulder joint pulls out and swivels so you can cross the arms, and soft material at the waist gives it more range of motion than most Zeon-line kits at this scale.

Does it need glue or paint?

No glue for the standard snap-fit build. The purple, dark grey and gold-trim plastic covers the colour scheme straight off the runner, so paint is optional if you want to push the finish further.

Is this a good kit for a first Gundam build?

Yes. It's an intermediate-friendly HG with a straightforward build, and the mono eye and dart-throwing gimmick give a beginner something fun to pose without needing advanced tools.
