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 does "Entry Grade" mean, and is this kit good for beginners?

Entry Grade" (EG) is a specific line of Gunpla kits designed by Bandai for absolute beginners. They are known for their extreme simplicity, with a low part count and an innovative snap-fit design that allows for assembly without tools, glue, or paint. The parts can be twisted off the runners by hand. This makes it an ideal kit for first-time builders, children, or experienced modelers looking for a quick and relaxing build.

What does "Recirculation Color" mean?

Recirculation Color" is a special color palette often used for limited-edition kits, typically tied to events or eco-friendly initiatives. The plastic used is made from recycled materials, and the kits feature a distinct color scheme—in this case, a vibrant neon green paired with black or dark gray. These colors give the model a striking and unique appearance that stands out from standard releases.

Does this kit come with any accessories or gimmicks?

As an Entry Grade kit, the included accessories are minimal, focusing on core components. This version of the Strike Gundam typically comes with its signature beam rifle and shield. The kit's main gimmick is its "Recirculation Color" and the fact that it comes in a special "Tote Box" or "Round Box" with a snack, making it a unique collectible item.

What is the completed size of this model?

The kit is a 1/144 scale, which is a standard size for many Gunpla lines (like High Grade). When assembled, the Entry Grade Strike Gundam stands at approximately 13-15 cm (or about 5-6 inches) tall, making it a compact and easily displayable model.

Does the neon green color glow in the dark or under a blacklight?

Yes, the "Recirculation Color" plastic used for the neon green parts is often a fluorescent material that is designed to be highly reactive under a blacklight. While it may not glow in total darkness like a true glow-in-the-dark material, its vibrant, almost radioactive appearance is significantly enhanced when illuminated by a blacklight, which is a popular way for builders to display these unique kits.

A welcoming start!

This was my first time ordering from this site, and I have absolutely no regrets! My order PGU RX-78-2 arrived very quickly, and to my surprise, it even came with a free Gundam marker. That small gesture truly made me feel welcomed into your community.

This definitely won’t be my last order—this is just the beginning of my support for this store, and I’m excited about the possibility of becoming a VIP member soon! 😊 I’m looking forward to purchasing PG kits and those hard-to-find Gunplas here in the future. Cheers!

An incredible looking kit with one flaw

The look of the kit is incredible and the fact it comes with a stand for the Lance is amazing QOL. However, there is one glaring issue, in that there is no shoulder joint. You heard me. The arms can only rotate, not move outward like in basically all other gunpla. I don't know why they built it this way but it is the one blemish on an incredible looking kit.

Epic Build

What can I say, this build is incredible, although I didn't manage to get the leds working, still, for my first perfect grade, it definitely didn't disappoint, I'm still finishing up the final few steps but very easy to follow instructions even without being able to Japanese.

Pretty good, but not the best Barbatos kit

Barbatos Lupus Rex is probably my favourite design from IBO besides Bael and Full City Rebake, but my copy of this kit has a couple of problems. The many issues that people have is that the joints are awful, but mine has none of that for now, also the proportions are a bit off compared to the anime, hopefully when Bandai releases a MG 1/100 Lupus Rex these problems are not in that kit
