Bandai Hobby RE/100 1/100 BAWOO (MASS PRODUCTION TYPE) (2017)

The RE/100 1/100 Bawoo (Mass Production Type) is a part of Bandai's Reborn-One Hundred series which focuses on delivering larger scale models with a balance of detail and simpler construction than Master Grades. This model represents the mass production variant of the Bawoo, which appeared in the "Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ" anime series.

Key Features of the RE/100 Bawoo (Mass Production Type):

• Scale and Details: As a 1/100 scale model, the Bawoo is impressive in size, offering detailed armor and panel lines that are characteristic of the RE/100 line.
• Transformability: Unique to the Bawoo, this model can transform between its Mobile Suit form and a separate Flight Unit and Mobile Armor mode. The transformation mechanism is designed to be robust yet user-friendly, suitable for a kit of this complexity level.
• Color Scheme: The Mass Production Type typically sports a more subdued color palette compared to the original Bawoo piloted by Glemy Toto, often featuring greens and grays that denote its status as a standard military unit.
• Articulation: Despite its size and transformation capabilities, the Bawoo is designed with enough articulation to allow for dynamic posing in both of its configurations.

Included Accessories:

• Beam Rifle: The standard armament for most Mobile Suits, detailed and scaled to match the Bawoo.
• Shield: Essential for defense maneuvers in both Mobile Suit and Mobile Armor forms.
• Beam Sabers: Typically tucked into the shield or the suit’s arms, allowing for close combat.
• Decals: The kit includes a sheet of decals to add additional detail and markings, which enhance its appearance and authenticity.

Building Experience and Customization:

The RE/100 kits are known for their straightforward builds, making them accessible to hobbyists who may find MG kits challenging due to complexity or time constraints. The Bawoo's transformation feature adds an enjoyable level of complexity to the build without being overwhelming.

Customization potential is high with the ability to paint and modify the kit to create distinctive versions or improve upon the existing features like panel lining and detailing.

The RE/100 1/100 Bawoo (Mass Production Type) is an excellent choice for modelers interested in the mechanics of transformation, those who prefer larger kits, or fans of the "Gundam ZZ" series looking to expand their collection with a versatile and visually appealing model.
