HGUC #036 The-O

From Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, Paptimus Scirocco’s PMX-003 The-O joins the HGUC line as one of the most imposing 1/144 kits of the early series. Its huge backpack, thick limbs and extensive vernier detail give the finished model a presence close to some smaller 1/100 kits, while dense moulding across the legs and skirt interiors rewards panel lining and detail painting.

The kit reproduces The-O’s signature hidden sub-arms beneath the front skirt armour. Each arm deploys forward and can hold a Beam Saber, allowing the model to use all four included sabers at once in the characteristic four-sword configuration. A Beam Rifle is supplied as the principal ranged weapon, while the extensive backpack and exposed leg mechanics provide much of the kit’s visual complexity.
