HG Sugai's Gelgoog (GQ) Kit Review – A Standout in the Mobile Suit GQuuuuuuX Series

Welcome to the Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX universe, where Bandai has expanded its High Grade (HG) line with a series of dynamic mobile suits, including the Sugai's Gelgoog (GQ). This HG kit showcases signature design elements and engineering innovations from the anime — now available for model builders to bring home.

Kit Overview

Grade/Scale: High Grade 1/144
Release Date: May, 2025
Manufacturer: Bandai

Inside the box : runners, sticker, instruction manual, and a solid set of weapons

The box art alone sets the tone for this kit, showcasing the Gelgoog’s powerful frame in a striking pose. Inside, you’ll find everything you need to build a dynamic, shelf-worthy Zeon unit.

Design and Details

The HG Sugai's Gelgoog (GQ) features a bold yet sleek redesign that modernizes the Gelgoog silhouette without losing its classic mono-eye appeal.

- Armor: Sharper edges and layered panel lines add depth to the build.
- Proportions: Balanced body proportions that feel closer to modern HG releases.
- Color separation: Excellent use of molded plastic reduces sticker reliance, giving the suit a clean look straight from the box.

The head sculpt and torso detailing stand out in particular, offering a level of sharpness and definition not often seen in older Gelgoog kits.

Articulation and Poseability

One of the best aspects of this kit is its articulation. Despite the Gelgoog’s bulky armor, Bandai engineered impressive movement across the body:
- Arms and shoulders can hold up dynamic poses, even with the large shield attached.
- Waist and torso offer good swivel for action stances.
- Legs feature solid flexibility, allowing wide stances without compromising stability.

Recreating iconic Gelgoog combat poses is effortless, and the balance is excellent even with its heavy accessories.

Weapons and Accessories

The HG Sugai's Gelgoog (GQ) comes with a strong loadout that pays tribute to its battlefield presence:
- Beam Rifle – sharp and well-detailed, fits perfectly in the hands.
- Shield – a large, iconic defense piece that attaches securely.
- Beam Naginata – a Zeon classic, perfect for melee displays.

Each accessory integrates smoothly into the build, with secure grips and multiple posing options.

Building Experience

Like most modern HGs, this kit is a joy to build:
- Snap-fit engineering makes assembly smooth and beginner-friendly.
- Part separation enhances color accuracy without heavy sticker use.
- Instruction manual is easy to follow, even for first-time builders.

While the build is simple enough for newcomers, experienced Gunpla fans will still appreciate the clever engineering and clean finish.
