HGUC 044 RX-77D ‘Guncannon Mass Production Type’

The HGUC Guncannon MPT is yet another part of Bandai's 0080 HGUC releases, and was quite the surprise to HGUC Fans. This MS had very little exposure in the series it was shown in (0080 War in the Pocket) but has made it to the HGUC line somehow. The MS itself is actually better than the original Guncannon as far as statistical data goes which is surprising since most Mass Production Types are weaker than the prototypes. Anyways, the kit iself is great! Onto its Review!

The kit iself is molded in the correct colors which is a nice feature if you're not into painting all those details left out. Its construction is bulky yet sturdy. The kits articulation is especially unique at the knees, where the joint can not only bend like a knee, but can also pivot at the knee joint. In additoin, the ankle articulation may not be double jointed, but it has a great range of motion. This allows the kit to be very poseable, which is a big plus. The only downfall of the pivoting kneecap is that they aren't as tight as I would like. I almost lost the lower leg because it came off at the joint and I didn't even notice while transporting it to the basement for further work. Aside from that, it comes with the same machine gun as the GM Command HGUC kit and has a trigger hand and a fist hand for the right arm. The other hand is just a fist. The cannons themselves on the back are very cool and telescope out once they are over the shoulder. This extention allows for a range of poses with the cannons.

Above all, this kit is one of my favorites in my collection. Its tight construction and practical gimmicks make it a HGUC kit worth your dollar.
